Movements are underway aboard Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni as the new facilities are turned over to U.S. military in light of the U.S.-Japan Joint Committee Agreement dated Jan. 23, 2014.  This is part of the Defense Policy Review Initiative which provides strategic guidance and direction for the planning and execution of military construction across the Pacific Region.

In response to Japanese media interest, Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni Public Affairs Office will host a press opportunity to film a couple of images to include the relocation of offices, equipment and supplies to the new facilities recently completed for MAG-12 and MALS-12 based at Iwakuni.

News media desiring to attend this opportunity are asked to contact us at 0827-79-5551 by not later than noon on Thursday, Feb. 13, for escort.
