the Field Training Exercise as a part of Orient Shield 2018.
Since its inception in 1985, Orient Shield has focused
on the development and refinement of the Japan Ground
Self-Defense Force and U.S. Army’s efforts in the areas of
bilateral planning, coordination and interoperability. This
exercise underscores a continued commitment by the United
States and Japan to work as dedicated partners in support of
the Japan-U.S. security alliance and for peace and stability
in the Indo-Pacific region.
