US Army Japan Exercises
The U.S. forces stationed or deployed in Japan signal a national commitment to the security alliance to defend Japan and preserve peace and security in the Far East region. To this end, USFJ conducts two primary exercises with the Japan Defense Agency and the JSDF. These exercises alternate every year between the computer-assisted command post exercise KEEN EDGE and the field training exercise KEEN SWORD. Both exercises develop bilateral and multiservice operational techniques, tactics and procedures for both a defense of Japan scenario and Japanese support for U.S. forces activities in a regional contingency scenario.
