Senior leaders from the U.S. Army, Canadian Army and Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, alongside distinguished observers, gather for a North Wind 26 update brief to discuss overall training status during Distinguished Visitors Day. The leaders observe a bilateral training exercise and a cold-weather medical evacuation training event, and conclude with a gift exchange at Camp Minami-Eniwa, Hokkaido, Japan, Jan. 31, 2026. North Wind is a bilateral U.S. Army Japan and JGSDF winter field training exercise in Hokkaido, Japan—running from Jan. 20–Feb. 3—focused on enhancing bilateral tactics, techniques and procedures for extreme cold-weather conditions and enhancing interoperability and readiness between U.S. and Japanese forces.
