CAMP FOSTER, Japan - In order to reinforce responsible behavior and support our continued, positive relationships with the local communities we live in, Lt. Gen. Kenneth J. Glueck, Okinawa area coordinator for U.S. Forces Japan, has instituted refined instructions for all U.S. service members in Okinawa.
The following measures apply to all U.S. installations and service members on Okinawa, effective immediately. Detailed instructions for implementing these policies have been issued to commands:
1. On-base alcohol sales are banned from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. daily.
2. Service members are prohibited from purchasing or consuming alcohol off-base (except in their own off-base residence).
3. Service members are prohibited from departing military installations or their own off-base residence under the influence of alcohol. Service members found with a blood alcohol content of .03% or greater will not be allowed off base liberty.
These measures remain in effect until further notice, and are additive to other, existing policies. The USFJ 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew remains in effect.
This policy recognizes that the overwhelming majority of American service members, dependents and civilian employees are law abiding, honorable and respectful. We continue our unwavering commitment to support them and the communities we live in by educating service members and encouraging exemplary standards of professional conduct, on and off duty.
