OS 21-2 is the largest field training exercise in Japan between the U.S. Army and the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF), including approximately 1,400 U.S. personnel and 1,600 JGSDF personnel. MCAS Iwakuni is uniquely positioned to support such an exercise because of the station’s co-located airfield and deep-water port. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Darien Wright)
