A Japan Ground Self-Defense Force paratrooper assigned to the 1st Airborne Brigade conducts a static-line jump from a Japan Air Self-Defense Force Kawasaki C-2 assigned to the 2nd Tactical Airlift Group during a multinational airborne exercise at Ojojihara Training Area, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, Jan. 17, 2026. Seven aircraft—one JASDF C-2, two JASDF C-130Hs and four U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules—airdropped approximately 260 paratroopers from the JGSDF 1st AbnB and the U.S. Army’s 11th Airborne Division. The exercise marked the first JGSDF-hosted multinational airborne operation conducted on Japanese soil and brought together airborne forces from Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom to enhance trilateral interoperability and airborne insertion capabilities in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
