Narration:
Members of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force’s 4th Engineer Group recently invited Soldiers from U.S. Army Japan to view a demonstration of their close-combat skills during a “train the trainer” course.
Interview: COL Kazuya Ono, Commander, 4th Engineer Group/Zama Chu-ton-chi, JGSDF
I think it is important to get to know each other as a unit coexisting with U.S. Army Japan on Camp Zama, which is the first step toward building a good relationship.
I think today is a great example of USARJ and the JGSDF getting to see what kind of training the other unit regularly conducts to know what type of training USARJ and JGSDF regularly conducting. Hopefully we can have more opportunities like today’s and build an even better relationship between our two units.
Narration:
During the event, four JGSDF members who have been practicing to be close-combat trainers demonstrated various moves and techniques, such as how to defend against an armed attacker and against an attack from the back. They also explained about the different equipment and gear they used in the demonstration.
