Nine C-130J aircraft assigned to Yokota Air Base and Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, were used to carry approximately 300 JGSDF paratroopers to drop zones at East Fuji Maneuver Area during the static-line personnel jump portion of the exercise. Airborne is a large-scale exercise which integrates air and ground forces from Japan and the U.S., highlighting the increased efficiency of partner forces working together.
