Lt. Col. Jeremy Nelson, commander of Marine Forces (left) and Lt. Col. Henry Marcaillou, commander of the French Ground Forces for the exercise, exchange gifts continuing the completion of Jeanne D’Arc 21 at Kirishima Maneuver Area, Japan, May 16th, 2021. The lessons and practices we share with our Japanese, French, and Australian allies during ARC-21 make us all more capable of responding to crises throughout the Indo-Pacific, whether in the defense of Japan, responding to contingencies elsewhere in the region, or even if called upon for humanitarian assistance/disaster relief operations.
