 2JA is an annual exercise held by the Japanese in order to improve their airborne service and underwater mine countermeasures. The United States has also invited you to attend in order to improve our interoperability and combined capability. The United States Navy UD sends a team to 2JA every year. This was our team's first time doing 2JA and our first time working with the Japanese UD team. So 2JA included practice using our handheld underwater sonar systems to locate mine shapes underwater. We also executed wind thin mine removal drills where we removed explosives that were attached directly to the hull of the ship. And we also brought our SUGV robots to show them more service ID techniques. Our platoon's role at 2JA was to interact with the Japanese UD team and learn from them and to build on our relationship and interoperability. There was the challenge but at the same time it's definitely a rewarding experience to learn from them and be able to coexist in that environment. Our team plans on attending 3JA as well and we hope to continue to build our relationship and work with them more in the future.
