COMBINED ARMS TRAINING CENTER CAMP FUJI, Japan — Marine Corps Installations Pacific Commanding General Maj. Gen. Peter J. Talleri visited Marines and sailors assigned to Combined Arms Training Center Camp Fuji, Japan, April 17-18.
It’s a personal priority to periodically visit Camp Fuji, where service members provide all logistical and training support necessary to sustain U.S. forces deployed to the training area, according to Talleri.
“Each installation is unique in the challenges and requirements that face it as the commander manages limited resources in the accomplishment of the mission,” said Talleri. “Camp Fuji’s challenges are unique and best understood if I stand on the ground and see the facilities and Marines firsthand.”
Recently, Camp Fuji was evaluated through the commanding general’s inspection program.
“On this particular visit, I had to let the Marines and sailors know how proud I am of them and their work leading to a successful inspection,” said Talleri.
During the visit, Talleri took the time to speak with groups of officers and staff noncommissioned officers, noncommissioned officers and junior-enlisted personnel. He offered them advice on leadership, reminded them all of the importance of their jobs, and received feedback from the Marines.
“I think we are able to successfully fulfill our mission here because of the high level of camaraderie,” said Staff Sgt. Cynthia E. Vasquez, the postal chief for Camp Fuji. “We are a small unit, so it is in everyone’s best interest to help one another, which helps things run smoothly.”
Marines and sailors of Camp Fuji play a vital role in the readiness and combat effectiveness of U.S. service members deployed to this area of operations, according to Talleri.
“Their role ensures the tip of the spear is finely sharpened and prepared for any tasking that may come their way,” said Talleri.
The general wanted Camp Fuji’s Marines and sailors to know that the work performed here is important, not only to the Marine Corps, but also to the other services under U.S. Forces Japan, according to 1st Lt. Rasool A. Todd, the range control officer for Headquarters Company, Camp Fuji.
“He conveyed his sincere appreciation for our dedication to the Camp Fuji mission, supporting our brothers and sisters from all services,” said Todd.
Camp Fuji plays a key role in the reorganization of U.S. forces in the Pacific theater, according to Talleri.
“Large maneuver areas and ranges that support the full spectrum of weapons systems are few and far between in the Pacific area of operations, but Camp Fuji provides all of this and the complimentary infrastructure to make a cost-effective and immediately available training venue for III Marine Expeditionary Force and other U.S. forces deployed to the Pacific,” said Talleri.
