U.S. Forces Japan service members, including five Marine officers with III Marine Expeditionary Force, participate in a Japanese sword-fighting class Feb. 14 in Tokyo, Japan. The class 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.
