WHITE BEACH NAVAL FACILITY, Japan
Chief Cryptologic Technician (Technical) William Wilcox, from Douglas, Georgia, assigned to Commander, Fleet Activities Okinawa's (CFAO) security department, removes tree branches during the base-led “Jungle Attack” community relations event onboard White Beach Naval Facility, March 9, 2026. Jungle Attack is an annual collaborative effort between the U.S. Navy and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force 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.
