Scott Green, commanding officer of the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, with a bottle of traditional Japanese sake as a token of appreciation and friendship between the JGSDF and the Spartan Brigade at the brigade’s headquarters on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska June 8, 2016.
