Members of the Japan Coast Guard’s Naha Branch toured Kadena Air Base as part of a rescue-capabilities immersion. The visit provided JCG personnel an overview of Kadena's rescue assets and procedures, supporting mutual understanding and cooperation in emergency response operations. Through briefings and demonstrations, participants gained insight into the equipment, procedures, and coordination methods used by Kadena rescue units during emergency response and search-and-rescue operations.
