Yasuyuki Kodama, commanding general of the Japan Ground Self Defense Force’s 1st Airborne Brigade, with a traditional Alaskan Ulu set in a piece of moose antler as a token of the Spartan Brigade’s appreciation and friendship between the brigade and the JGSDF at the brigade’s headquarters on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska June 8, 2016. Kodama was at JBER to observe Exercise Arctic Aurora, a yearly bilateral training exercise involving elements of the Spartan Brigade and the JGSDF, which focuses on strengthening ties between the two by executing combined small unit airborne proficiency operations and basic small arms marksmanship.
