    Japan Defense Minister, Toshimi Kitazawa (Center) addresses soldiers of the Western Army, Japanese Ground Self Defense Force during his inspection of their preparation for exercise Yama Sakura 59. Yama Sakura is an annual, bilateral exercise with Japanese forces and the U.S. military. This year’s exercise is a simulation-driven, joint-bilateral, command post exercise and is the 29th iteration of the Japan-based exercise series. Yama Sakura is designed to enhance U.S. and Japan combat readiness and interoperability while strengthening bilateral relationships and demonstrating U.S. resolve to support the security interests of friends and allies in the region. U.S. and Japanese forces exchange ideas, techniques and military experiences during Yama Sakura. (Photo by: Sgt. Maj.
