Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) members descend from a rope on a JGSDF CH-47 Chinook helicopter during a practice day of the annual New Year’s Jump Exercise at Camp Narashino, Japan, Jan. 9, 2026. The New Year’s Jump is an annual exercise that aims to bring good luck to paratroopers in the new year and strengthen the bonds between allied nations as they reaffirm their shared goal of safeguarding peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. Following the event, the U.S. Army's 11th Airborne Division and the JGSDF will participate in multinational exercises in northern Japan and Hokkaido later this month.
