    U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Michael McMahon, the commanding officer of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 232, left, and Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) Lt. Col. Shoichi Shinden, the commander of the 305th Tactical Fighter Squadron, engage with the media during a press conference covering the arrival of Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) 12 forces at JASDF Nyutabaru Air Base, Japan, Dec. 7, 2023. The Aircraft Training Relocation (ATR) program allows U.S. aviation units in the Indo-Pacific, such as VMFA-232 and Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) 12, to train away from their home station to reduce local noise impacts while increasing operational readiness and interoperability. During this year’s ATR program at Nyutabaru Air Base, MAG-12 forces trained alongside the JASDF’s 305th Tactical Fighter Squadron to build upon each other’s tactics and reinforce their combined operational readiness through safe and realistic training.
