    YAKIMA TRAINING CENTER, Wash. - Following opening ceremonies on Sept. 2, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force troops trained alongside Soldiers of 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment during 2014 Rising Thunder exercises. The annual training partners Japanese military personnel with units from Joint Base Lewis-McChord and 7th Infantry Division, I Corps.

    On day two of functional training, 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment conducted 12 ranges, including sniper training, field artillery, and support-by-fire exercises.

    The annual training is an opportunity for a selected JGSDF unit to come to the U.S. to conduct exercises, and for the U.S. Army to further develop the partnership with the JGSDF.
