U.S. Marines with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines
and Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) soldiers conduct
urban operations during Resolute Dragon 21 (RD21) at Ojojihara Proving
Grounds, Japan.
RD21 is the largest
bilateral field training exercise between the U.S. Marine
Corps and Japan Ground Self-Defense Force since 2013 and is
the largest ever in Japan. RD21 is designed to strengthen
the defensive capabilities of the U.S.-Japan Alliance by
exercising integrated command and control, targeting,
combined arms, and maneuver across multiple domains.
