    Two military personnel are shaking hands in an outdoor field setting. The soldier on the left wears U.S. Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) with a name tape reading 'NORMAN,' a 1st Cavalry Division patch, and senior NCO rank insignia. The soldier on the right wears a different camouflage pattern consistent with the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF), has face paint applied, foliage on their helmet, and is holding a rifle and a challenge coin.

    Command Sgt. Maj. James Norman, the senior enlisted leader of I Corps, rewards a Japan Ground Self-Defense Force member with a coin for his effort during the final phase of an exercise that was part of First Sergeant's Training, the equivalent of the Army's Warrior Leadership Course. The JGSDF leadership program has implemented aspects from the American WLC, many of which have come at the suggestion of Norman, who is the former CSM of US Army-Japan, and has mutual relations with senior enlisted leaders throughout Army North.
