Celebrating a historic alliance

TOKYO - Lt. Gen. Hawk Carlisle, left, 13th Air Force commander, talks with Japan Rear Adm. Tsutomu Anzai, Maritime Self-Defense Force director general of administration, and his wife, Kazuko, at a U.S. Embassy reception Jan. 19 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security. The treaty, signed during the height of the Cold War, gives the U.S. access to bases, infrastructure and other support in Japan in exchange for the U.S.’ commitment to aid in the cooperative defense of Japan, should an armed attack occur here.
