Kenichi Hirohata (right), commander, 117th Training Battalion, JGSDF at Camp Takeyama, Japan, Nov. 20, 2015. Hirohata invited his U.S. Army Reserve partners on a tour of Camp Takeyama while giving his guests a glimpse of how his battalion molds raw recruits into a dynamic self-defense force. Kenichi and Snyder also discussed ideas to expand bilateral engagements between their respective commands by immersing select JGSDF Reserve Component service members into the U.S. Army's culture and capabilities through base visits, combined training events and service member exchange programs.
