    Yama Sakura, Japanese for “Mountain Cherry Blossom,” dates back to 1982. Since then, Yama Sakura has been an annual, bilateral Command Post Exercise that simulates Japanese-U.S. military operations required to defend Japan. Every winter, one of five regional Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) Armies is joined by U.S. Pacific Command to conduct the exercise in Japan. Sgt. Rogers, Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 17th Field Artillery Brigade, participates in Yama Sakura 69 from the operating center on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Dec. 7, 2015.
