Col. Joseph C. Scott and Command Sgt. Maj. John S. Brown, Jr. visited Yokota Air Base, Japan to meet with JASDF Air Defense Command leadership—including Lt. Gen. YAJIMA Masahito, WO KUMASAKA Hiroki, Lt. Gen. KAGEURA Seiki, and Maj. Gen. MATSUZAKI Yuki—to realign integrated air and missile defense strategies and discuss upcoming bilateral training opportunities on Feb. 26, 2025. Amid an increasingly complex regional security environment marked by North Korean missile launches and recent airspace incursions by the PLA and Russian forces, both sides reviewed current challenges and enhanced mission capabilities through joint exercises and strategic planning. This collaboration underscores the enduring U.S.-Japan alliance and a shared commitment to a Free and Open Indo-Pacific, with future engagements already in the works to further deepen interoperability and fortify defensive readiness.
