Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Lt. Gen. Toshiya Okabe, deputy chief of joint staff, sits in the cockpit of a U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon at Komatsu Air Base, Japan, while receiving a briefing from U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Jeffrey Cohen, 14th Fighter Squadron commander, and a maintainer from Misawa Air Base, Japan, Nov. 10, 2014. Cohen and maintainers from Misawa are at Komatsu to train with members of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force as part of the Aviation Training Relocation Program which allows U.S. and Japanese forces to further enhance their interoperability and joint partnership by conducting training away from the U.S. forces' home station. This simultaneously provides a noise respite for those living near the U.S. Air Force installations of the units participating in ATRs throughout Japan. (Courtesy photo)
