The ATR program directs Air Force units to conduct training away from their duty station to provide a noise respite for those living in the community surrounding their home station. During this ATR, more than 120 Airmen and pilots from Misawa relocated to Komatsu to practice and evaluate the coordination procedures and interoperability elements required to effectively and mutually respond to the defense of Japan, or to a regional crisis or contingency situation in the Asia-Pacific region, while also building bilateral confidences and working relationships.
