The U.S. – Japan alliance is the cornerstone of allied security interests in Asia, and is founded on shared interests and values in regional stability, political, economic and personal freedoms. Yokota Air Base plays a strong role in helping Pacific Air Command continually develop and reinforce multinational cooperation relationships, which improves the ability maintain safe and stable air and space domains throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
