 Members of the Japanese Self-Defense Ground Forces joined 5th Battalion 20th Infantry Regiment soldiers for a combined mortar live fire at the Yakima Training Center. U.S. soldiers observed and learned different techniques from their Japanese counterparts and then showed them how they aim and fire rounds using forward observers. Even though they speak different languages, the exercise went on without a hitch. Their principles are the same as our principles. It's the same language. They don't need an interpreter really to understand what's going on with them and they don't need an interpreter to understand what's going on with us. We pretty much can point and speak the same language. For the 5th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, I'm Armando Sargent. Fire! Nidia Cruz.
