Japan, U.S. prepare for fighter drill WASHINGTON, March 6 (UPI) -- U.S. aircraft flew to a Japanese Air Self-Defense Force base as part of a joint plan to conduct air exercises away from Okinawa. The U.S. and Japanese militaries will conduct the exercises in other parts of Japan in a move to reduce the strain on Okinawa of being the U.S. military hub in Japan and the Pacific. The arrangements are part of the U.S. military realignment plan that was finalized last May, the Kyodo News Service reported on Monday. Five U.S. F-15 jets flew from Kadena to Tsuiki on Monday and joined with four F-15s from Japan's Air Self-Defense Force, Japanese defense officials said. The three-day dogfight drill is slated to begin Tuesday. The United States and Japan agreed to move the loud fighter drills from U.S. bases in Kadena, Misawa, and Iwakuni to six ASDF bases. From there, the militaries will conduct about 15 joint drills in fiscal 2007. The Defense Facilities Administration Agency's regional unit set up an office at the Tsuiki base to act as a liaison between local communities and the U.S. military. Some residents are concerned about the transfer of U.S. drills to a local base, Kyodo reported. Officials also said that staffers from the liaison office will accompany U.S. military personnel when they go outside the base. +++ ------------------------ Yahoo!
