Under the eyes of Marines and Iwakuni local officials, Yamaguchi Prefecture riot specialists board a vessel in search of armed terrorists as part of an annual bilateral training exercise at the Iwakuni Port Nov. 28. The exercise is conducted to foster interoperability between the Japanese Coast Guard and local law enforcement, polishing procedures to be utilized in the adverse event of a terrorist attack. Marines were invited to the event to take note of the Japanese protocol and to become familiar with its tactics and procedures should such a calamity require the side-by-side efforts of both Marines and Japanese defense agencies.
