More Details Coming on US-Japan New Moves: USAF Lt. Gen. Bruce Wright, head of US Forces Japan, tells Stars and Stripes that officials plan to flesh out the new defense cooperation agreement reached by US and Japan by late March. Wright believes the new information will alleviate some community concerns over the planned movement of forces. Residents of Okinawa, in particular, have expressed great dismay over movement of Japan Self Defense Forces to Kadena AB, Okinawa.
In a rare letter to the entire force, Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach is telling Airmen to stay ready to support Operation Epic Fury, the massive U.S. operation against Iran.
