U.S. Marines with 12th Marine Regiment, 3d Marine Division, board a CH-47JA, on Okinawa, Japan, Nov 11, 2022. The Marines boarding the CH-47 JA travelled to Yonaguni, Japan in order to establish a Bilateral Ground Tactical Coordination Center in support of Keen Sword 23. Keen Sword exercises the combined capabilities and lethality developed between 3d Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, and the Japan Self-Defense Force. This bilateral field-training exercise between the U.S. military and JSDF strengthens interoperability and combat readiness of the U.S.-Japan Alliance. (U.S. Marine Corps video by SSgt Albert J.
