Department-Level Exercise (DLE) Series

Through this series, the Department of the Air Force is preparing to be a stronger, more lethal deterrent force, to provide an advantage against competitors and adversaries across all domains, and to ensure regional stability in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.

The DLE series will incorporate multiple command exercises into one overall threat deterrence scenario, including Resolute Force Pacific (REFORPAC), Resolute Space, Mobility Guardian, Emerald Warrior and Bamboo Eagle 25-3.

It will also integrate multiple allies and partners in specific component exercises with shared interests. Partner integration is critical to U.S. efforts to ensure regional and global peace and stability and provides a decisive advantage against complex threats.

On July 25, USAG Japan had the pleasure of welcoming students from Smyrna, Tennessee—Zama City’s sister city since 1991—along with their Japanese host students for a special visit to the U.S. Army’s home away from home in Japan.

The students engaged with our Soldiers, gained insight into our mission, and explored the unique capabilities of the U.S. Army in Japan.

A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this exchange such a meaningful and memorable experience - strengthening friendships across cultures and generations.
