WHITE BEACH NAVAL FACILITY, Japan
Capt. Joseph Parsons, commander, Fleet Activities Okinawa, center-right, alongside Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Capt. Yuichi Watanabe, commanding officer of JMSDF Sub Area Activity Okinawa, addresses volunteers prior to commencing “Jungle Attack”, a community relations event onboard White Beach Naval Facility, March 9, 2026. Jungle Attack is an annual collaborative effort between the U.S. Navy and JMSDF to clear dense jungle at White Beach Naval Facility, ensuring local Okinawan families can access the many ancestral tombs located on base during Shimi - a traditional observance in April when families clean and visit gravesites to honor their ancestors. CFAO maintains and operates facilities to support United Nations Command-Rear missions, coalition and allied partners, U.S. Navy ships, submarines, and aircraft, and Joint force assets in the Indo-Pacific region.
