Staff Sgt. Jay-Peter Tuazon, 36th Airlift Squadron loadmaster, watches Japan Ground Self-Defense Force jumpmasters descend above Hijudai drop zone, Japan, Nov. 15, 2021. Yokota’s 374th Airlift Wing and JGSDF’s 1st Airborne Brigade organized this demonstration of interoperability, bi-lateral training, and the capability to execute a large force insertion on a drop zone of more than 200 personnel. Proper execution of this large-scale ability showcases the strategic importance of engaging in bilateral operations and training. ( Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Jessica Avallone)
