You've heard of Operation Tomodachi, but do you really know what it was? How and why decisions were made to deploy in the immediate aftermath of

the March 11 disasters? How U.S. Armed Forces and Japanese Self-Defense Forces worked together? What troops experienced on the ground in the

hours and days following one of Japan's worst-ever calamities?



Join us on July 27 as Lieutenant General Burton M. Field addresses these questions and others. Lt. Gen. Field is commander of United States Forces, Japan, and Fifth Air Force at Yokota Air Base, Japan. As

Commander of United States Forces, Japan, he is the senior U.S. military representative in Japan and Commander of U.S. Air Force units in Japan; he also played a key leadership role in Operation Tomodachi.



Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear a insider briefing on Operation Tomodachi, including the lessons learned for the U.S.-Japan alliance. This event is expected to fill up quickly, so get your

registration in early!
