 Sailors stationed at Naval Air Facility Masawa trained Japan Ground Self-Defense Force soldiers in English and U.S. military tactics in an effort to break down the language barrier. In the situation where we do face the contingency, where we have to go into a joint environment, so many times in the past at that time is when we start learning each other's languages or learning a little bit more and delving into the climate and culture of their service. So by doing this early here in Masawa, it really does shape up a better preparation for future contingency if that does occur. Hand there, there you go, forward, bang. Their English skills is the primary objective. They're all learning more English but so much more as far as what we do in the U.S. military. Senior Chief Brian Delcourt, Naval Air Facility Masawa, Japan.
