    Staff Sgt. Yong Shin of the 296th Brigade Support Battalion, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, who has been serving as an interpreter during Rising Thunder, talks with two Soldiers from the Japan Ground Self-Defense at Yakima Training Center, Yakima, Washington, Sept. 7.
    The training consisted of troop movement exercises, room clearing drills, radio communication, hand and arm signals, and suppressive fire exercises. The U.S. and Japanese troops have been building teamwork and efficiency throughout Rising Thunder 19 with a targeted goal to perfect various skill sets.
