PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 26, 2020) A U.S. Air Force CV-22 Osprey from the 21st Special Operations Squadron, operating out of Yokota Air Base, Japan, approaches Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) helicopter destroyer JS Kaga (DDH 184) as it steams alongside the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) during Keen Sword 21. Keen Sword is an example of the strength of U.S.-Japan Alliance, the foundation of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region for more than 60 years. The relationships built and maintained during these events are critical to our shared capability to respond to contingencies at a moment’s notice.
