US Military Seeks Tokyo Property Amidst Command Restructuring
In response to growing regional threats and a Pentagon restructuring plan, U.S. Forces Japan (USFJ) is considering relocating some operations from Yokota Air Base to the Akasaka Press Center in central Tokyo. This move would place USFJ closer to Japan’s Ministry of Defense and consolidate functions within a joint force headquarters. The Akasaka Press Center, which includes Hardy Barracks and a helipad, is currently under survey to determine its suitability. While USFJ confirms discussions are underway, the specifics of the relocation remain unclear, pending further negotiations with Japanese government officials.
