Yumi Tsubaki briefs visiting U.S. Forces Japan service members, including five Marine officers of III Marine Expeditionary Force, on the structure and composition of the Japanese Diet Feb. 12 in Tokyo, Japan. Diet is the Japanese version of the U.S. Congress. The visit was part of an orientation for USFJ military officers to Japanese government, politics and culture by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The MOFA orientation program builds greater understanding of Japan by developing relationships between officials and service members, and by further strengthening the cooperative government and military aspects of the U.S.-Japan Alliance. Tsubaki is with the Japan-U.S. Defense Cooperation Division, Japan Ministry of Defense. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Capt. Caleb D. Eames/released)
