 Combining the flight line, radar systems, naval ships, and a mud-covered endurance course is what makes the Okinawa Joint Experience unique. The purpose behind this week is to get some joint integration done, maybe the mid-grade non-commissioned officer level, and get them educated on what all the other services are doing and how they can be a part of this great experience here in Okinawa. We got to know how each component operates individually and then together as a whole. We operate in a joint world nowadays and it's very important that we know what each other does on a daily basis. The future successes of the United States military depend on our ability to work together in the present. What I hope they take back is both a different perspective of the world in which we live and operate in and that they try and work to eliminate seams that could be a barrier to teamwork. Reporting from Okinawa, Japan, I'm Marine Corporal Logan Wright.
