Great to meet with some American, Japanese, and Australian troops at Camp Asaka in Japan. These troops demonstrate how the United States military works in lock-step with our Indo-Pacific partners and allies to safeguard peace, security, and prosperity in the region.
I met with the U.S. Army Japan team at Yokohoma North Dock today. I saw firsthand how the Army is delivering on historic announcements by the United States and Japan over the past four years to strengthen regional deterrence.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III visited Yokohama North Dock, met with U.S. Army Japan leaders, addressed Soldiers, and presented coins, thanking them for their service and contributions to the U.S.-Japan Alliance.
🇺🇸 - 🇯🇵 Japan Ground Self-Defense Force + @USArmy engages in strategic discussions during #YamaSakura87. This year's Yama Sakura marks a historic milestone with the first-ever concurrent execution of a simulated warfighter command post exercise in Japan.

#ThrowbackThursday to June 14, 1775. It's when the #USArmy was founded almost 250 years ago.
Save the date – next June 14, when we’ll honor our past and embrace our future.
Until then, share this post and join us in counting down to our 250th birthday.
This We’ll Defend!
