Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Col. Yoshiyuki Goto, right, asks Marines with Combat Assault Battalion, about the rank structure in the Marine Corps and what responsibilities each member of the unit has to accomplish Dec. 4 on Camp Schwab. The JGSDF visited CAB to learn and observe the capabilities of the AAVs, according to Goto. “The Marines have 239 years of history and we are learning from their experience because we are a new branch of military,” said Goto. Goto, an Ooita-Prefecture, Japan, native, is the commander of Western Army Infantry Regiment, JGSDF. The Marines are with CAB, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force on the unit deployment program. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Brittany A. James/released)
