Japan signed a deal with the US four years ago that was part of a broader realignment of

about 2,000 Marines, to the smaller city of Nago. Okinawa is home to most of the

Indeed, under the world's only pacifist constitution, Japan spends about 1% of its gross
domestic product on defense. But the Japanese — and especially the Okinawans, whose
island was under U.S. control until 1972 and which currently hosts 75% of the U.S.
military presence in Japan — have expressed growing irritation at what they perceive as
their junior status in the relationship. Japan, they noted, has paid some $30 billion to
the U.S. to support the U.S. military presence in Japan since 1978. The reason for the
2006 agreement to move Futenma to a new facility in a less-populated part of Okinawa
is that the city of Ginowan now encroaches on the the current facility from all sides. The
$26 billion deal, to be largely funded by Japan, also calls for shifting 8,000 Marines from
Okinawa to Guam by 2014. For many in Okinawa, Futenma and its 2,000 American personnel have
been a perpetually noisy and polluting symbol of continuing U.S. dominance. But U.S. military leaders insist
that as long as the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force is based on Okinawa, they need the air base, which
allows them to rapidly deploy Marines throughout the region. Stalder uses the analogy of a baseball
team to explain why the force can't do without its aircraft: "It does not do you any good
to have the outfielders practicing in one town, the catcher in another and the third
baseman somewhere else."

The U.S. military remains ready to help Japan, even as it has repositioned many assets since a
9.0 magnitude earthquake marked a chain of disasters there one month ago, military
officials said. Numerous aftershocks have rocked northeast Japan since the March 11
earthquake, including a 6.6 magnitude aftershock reported today and a 7.1 magnitude
quake reported April 8. The U.S. military has not been called to help with the most-
recent aftershocks, but continues to give support and remains positioned to respond to
requests by the Japanese government, Pentagon spokesman Marine Corps Col. Dave
Lapan told reporters today. “We continue to provide some measure of assistance to
Japan, but certainly not at the level it was at a few weeks ago,” Lapan said. The military
sent some 20,000 troops, 140 aircraft and at least 20 ships in support of Operation
Tomodachi since March 11, according to military officials. While no U.S. ships are directly
supporting Operation Tomodachi today, several are forward deployed to Japan as part of their regular
operations, officials said. About 50,000 U.S. troops are based in Japan. “U.S. forces remain committed to
the government and people of Japan and are positioned for sustained support,” DOD public affairs
officer Navy Cmdr. Leslie Hull-Ryde said. “U.S. military forces throughout Japan
maintain the capability to provide rapid response.” The repositioning of U.S. military
assets “is an indicator of the tremendous progress the Japanese government and the
Japan Self-Defense Forces have made on the ground in dealing with this catastrophe,”
she said. The initial earthquake was followed by a tsunami and a partial meltdown of
some of Japan’s nuclear reactors, as well as multiple aftershocks in the past four weeks.
The U.S. military responded to Japan immediately, with assistance to Japanese forces, as
well as more than 2 million gallons of water, 189 tons of food, 11,960 gallons of fuel and
100 tons of relief supplies, officials said.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Edwin Reischauer told a Japanese government official in 1967
that relocating all U.S. military facilities in Okinawa to Guam was theoretically possible, declassified
Japanese diplomatic documents showed Friday. Reischauer also told the Japanese
officials that the U.S. military had estimated the cost for the relocation at $3 billion to $4
billion, showed the documents declassified by the Japanese Foreign Ministry. Reischauer
made the comment during a meeting with a Japanese diplomat in Boston on April 14,
1967, eight months after leaving the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, according to a top-secret
cable sent the following day to the Japanese Foreign Ministry from the Japanese
Embassy in Washington. The document quoted Reischauer as saying that Japan had
enjoyed a "free ride" in its national security thanks to U.S. defense efforts, a comment
taken as speaking for some U.S. lawmakers who were dissatisfied with Tokyo and trying
to prod Japan to take a more active role in its national defense. In 2006, Japan and the
United States reached an agreement on the realignment of U.S. forces in Japan. Under the accord, the
U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station in Ginowan will be relocated to the coastal area of Nago by 2014.
The deal also includes the transfer of around 8,000 Marines to Guam from Okinawa.

Dr. Rich Ellings: I know that perhaps motivating that question have been in--over the
last years and more recent times events precipitated by North Korean actions, not to
mention other things going on in the region. I assume that's the gist of that question.
And thank you so much for responding. Another question out there? Admiral, I have
one, a question. How many total troops, approximately, and sailors do we have that are dedicated to
Tomodachi, both in the region, and I know there at the command you're--you've got a
whole group there. But, how many people are we talking about who are helping out the
Japanese Self-Defense Forces? Rear Admiral Scott Swift: Let me start off with framing
the forces that report for duty every morning to Admiral Willard. There's over 325,000
sailors, soldiers, airmen, marines, and coastguardsmen that are assigned to the Pacific
Command. Now, we support CENTCOM with a portion of those forces. But, again, it
speaks to the depth of capacity that the US military has to apply globally. Specifically to
your question, DOD is supporting Operation Tomodachi with approximately 15,000 personnel. The DOD
service members, when we talk of those that are assigned across the broader region specific to Japan, it's
upwards of 55,000 total. So, there's a significant number that are committed to it. From a
resource perspective, there is the--there is over 22 ships, 140 aircraft that are committed
as well. So, it's a significant force. I think I mentioned earlier two carrier strike groups
and an amphibious ready group committed as well.

When the U.S. government offered a massive relief operation involving 18,000 troops, the Japanese
government jumped at it and named it "Operation Tomodachi." To be more precise, it should have
been named Operation Yujo because Yujo means friendship whereas Tomodachi just
means a friend, or friends. Semantics aside, however, most Japanese have really
appreciated the friendship demonstrated by the Americans because they are really fed up
with their government which has constantly mishandled the post-quake situation.

http://articles.cnn.com/2011-03-21/us/japan.military.evacuation_1_voluntary-
evacuations-defense-official-troops?_s=PM:US)
The U.S. military is considering the mandatory evacuation of thousands of American troops and their
families in Japan out of concern over rising radiation levels, a senior defense official tells CNN. The
official, who did not want to be on the record talking about ongoing deliberations, says
there are no discussions to evacuate all U.S. troops across the country. The talks have
focused exclusively on U.S. troops in Yokosuka, just south of Tokyo, the official said. Yokosuka is
home to America's largest naval base in Japan. The military is monitoring radiation
levels on a constant basis. As of Monday, the U.S. Navy had no more warships in port at the base. The
aircraft carrier USS George Washington, which had been undergoing maintenance in Yokosuka, left port
Monday in order to get away from the plume of radioactive particles that could blow over the base.
Because it left port with a much smaller than normal crew, the George Washington will
not take part in the Japanese relief effort. The official said the talks originated with
Pacific Command, the military authority that directly oversees U.S. troops in the region,
but "discussions have since taken place here in Washington as well." The official told
CNN this is strictly a contingency plan, and could be accomplished "if they needed to do
it in a hurry, with gray tails," or large military transport planes like a C-17. CBS News
first reported that the evacuation were being considered. A second defense official at
Pacific Command, who would not go on the record for the same reason, would only say
they "are monitoring the situation, and will continue to do so and keep our families
informed. Prudent planning always happens." An official statement released by U.S.
Pacific Command, which oversees all military operations in Asia, states that the only
evacuations being performed now are under State Department guidelines, which calls for
voluntary evacuations of military family members, paid for by the U.S. government. A
flight carrying 154 military family members left Japan Monday, flying into
Seattle/Tacoma International Airport, according to Lt. Commander Bill Lewis, a
spokesman for U.S. Northern Command. That followed a flight that departed Saturday
with 230 people on board.

Operating from the largest U.S. installation in the Asia-Pacific region, the 18th Wing defends U.S. and
Japanese mutual interests by providing aforward power projection platform with integrated,
deployable, combat power. The Wing operates a fleet of 81 combat-ready aircraft to
perform air superiority, aerial refueling, airborne warning and control, and combat
search and rescue functions. In addition, a force of 8,000 trained Airmen is postured to
support Air Force commitments in the Pacific region as well as U.S. military
commitments around the world. The 18th Wing is responsible for 54 F-15s, 15 KC-135s, 2 E-3s and
10 HH-60s valued at more than $4 billion, as well as other equipment and capital assets valued at nearly $2
billion. The base also provides infrastructure support to Army, Navy and Marine Corps
forces assigned to or transiting Kadena. Team Kadena includes associate units from five
other Air Force major commands, the U.S. Navy, and numerous other Department of
Defense agencies and direct reporting units. In addition to the 81 aircraft of the 18th
Wing, associate units operate more than 20 permanently assigned, forward-based or
deployed aircraft from Kadena on a daily basis.

Several aspects of the U.S.-R.O.K. security relationship are changing as the U.S. moves
from a leading to a supporting role. In 2004 an agreement was reached on the return of
the Yongsan base in Seoul--as well as a number of other U.S. bases--to the R.O.K. and
the eventual relocation of all U.S. forces to south of the Han River. Those movements are
expected to be completed by 2016. In addition, the U.S. and R.O.K. agreed to reduce the number
of U.S. troops in Korea to 25,000 by 2008, but a subsequent agreement by the U.S. and R.O.K. presidents
in 2008 has now capped that number at 28,500, with no further troop reductions planned. The
U.S. and R.O.K. have also agreed to transfer wartime operational control to the R.O.K.
military on April 17, 2012.
And we have 28,500 troops – confirmed by our agreement with South Korea

DMZ (0)
There are no troops in the Demilitarized Zone
China Daily 03 (US pulling troops away from Korean DMZ,
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-06/06/content_168113.htm)
In a historic move after a half-century, the United States will pull its ground troops away from the
Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea and consolidate them at bases well to the south. The
realignment, announced in a joint US-South Korean statement Thursday, has been in the
works for months. It reflects US Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's push to break a Cold War
mold of assumptions about the usefulness of having troops along the tense DMZ. The moves in Korea
are part of a broader Pentagon strategy to realign US forces around the globe, to include
likely reductions in Germany and the establishment of new bases in eastern Europe. Last
month the United States pulled its troops out of Saudi Arabia after a 12-year stay. But
also, residents have complained that the sprawling 8th US Army headquarters in
downtown Seoul occupies prime real estate and worsens the city's chronic traffic
congestion. Younger generations of South Koreans see the foreign military presence in
their capital as a slight to national pride. When US President Bush and Roh met in May,
they agreed that South Korea's growing economic strength allows the country to play a
bigger military role in defending itself. In Rumsfeld's view, moving US troops away from
the DMZ and consolidating them at perhaps two main "hub" bases south of Seoul will
create a more formidable fighting force. It will not remove the troops from danger, and
in Rumsfeld's view it does not weaken the US deterrent at a time when North Korea is
openly pursuing an expanded nuclear arsenal. The United States has assured South
Korea it will spend more than $11 billion over the next four years on 150 improvements
in the combined US-South Korean defenses. No details were provided. The new
arrangement will end a US troop presence on the DMZ that dates to the end of the 1950-
53 Korean War, when a 151-mile buffer zone was established along the approximate line
of ground contact between the opposing forces at the time a July 27, 1953, truce was
signed. In a two-phase movement, US troops at bases scattered near the DMZ will be moved to "hub
bases" at least 75 miles south of the Demilitarized Zone, according to the joint statement.

Time 03 (South Korea: Run DMZ,
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,457403,00.html)
It's an enduring relic of the cold war: more than 15,000 U.S. troops stationed just south of the Korean
peninsula's Demilitarized Zone well within range of North Korean artillery. But the trip wire the boots-
on-the-ground guarantee that an attack on South Korea would automatically bring U.S.
intervention may soon be gone. Last week, Seoul and Washington announced U.S. troops will pull
back at least 50 km to bases south of Seoul over the next few years. It makes military sense a few thousand
grunts were never going to block an invasion by the 1.1 million-strong North Korean military. And in an
era of precision-guided munitions, officials insist the pullback won't undermine the U.S.-
South Korean defense alliance or send the wrong signal to Pyongyang. Says Lieut.
Colonel Steven Boylan, a spokesman for U.S. forces in South Korea: "Everything we are
doing is to enhance the alliance, not diminish it." With anti-American sentiment still
strong in South Korea, the U.S. decision might seem like a boon to President Roh Moo
Hyun; in his younger days, he supported the withdrawal of American troops. No danger
of that here: the move comes with a $11 billion investment to bolster U.S. defenses on the
peninsula.
Ground Force (22,500)
There are 22,500 ground forces
Global Security 04 (US Forces Order of Battle,
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/korea-orbat.htm)
Ground forces included a variety of units that were normally deployed in the region.
Forces in the region include Patriot missile batteries, Apache helicopter squadrons, a
mechanized infantry brigade, an air assault brigade, various support, intelligence and
other units. Prior to 2004 the total Army presence in the region was nearly 27,500
soldiers, of which 13,753 were assigned to the 2nd Infantry Division. However, it is
important to point out that the Department of Defense indicated during a briefing on
July 23, 2003 that the United States Army had some 4,000 additional soldiers in South
Korea than what had been previously disclosed by the military. It was not clear is this is a
mistake or not. If true, this would have brought the total number of soldiers in South
Korea to 31,460. In any event, with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team going to Iraq in August 2004, the
total number of troops declined by 5,000, to a total of 22,500 Army soldiers
Naval Forces (293)
There are 293 sailors permanently based in South Korea

US Naval Forces, Korea is particularly small, numbering around 293 sailors and 52 marines. CNFK
normally has no seagoing forces assigned, though its personnel are assigned to various joint,
combined, and Navy billets throughout the ROK peninsula. These personnel are actively
engaged in planning and execution of numerous operations and exercises throughout the
Korean theater. There is one ship that has been present in the region for over 30 years, that being the
USS Pueblo which was captured on 23 January 1968. She is currently located at
Pyongyang

Combined Forces Commander staff in armistice and in wartime and to the Commander,
U.S. 7th Fleet, based in Yokosuka.
Look we shouldn’t need cards for this – there are no actual ships based in
Korea. The fact that the USS George Washington had to come up to Korea to
project power is a reason why there is no possibility for engagement
And even if they win we might have a few ships, Yokosuka is the only thing
West of Hawaii that could actually maintain a fleet
Yoshihara 10 (Toshi, Associate professor in the Strategy and Policy Department at the
Naval War College., “CHINESE MISSILE STRATEGY AND THE U.S. NAVAL
PRESENCE IN JAPAN”, NAVAL WAR COLLEGE, accessed 10/1/10)
The indispensability of the ship-repair and maintenance facilities at Yokosuka emerges as another
common theme in the Chinese literature. Analysts in China often note that Yokosuka is the
only base west of Hawaii that possesses the wherewithal to handle major carrier repairs. Some have
concluded that Yokosuka is irreplaceable as long as alternative sites for a large repair station remain
unavailable. Li Daguang, a professor at China’s National Defense University and a frequent
commentator on naval affairs, casts doubt on Guam as a potential candidate, observing
that the island lacks the basic infrastructure and economies of scale to service carriers. 27 China’s
Jianchuan Zhishi (Naval and Merchant Ships) published a translated article from a
Japanese military journal, Gunji Kenkyu (Japan Military Review), to illustrate the physical
limits of Guam as a permanent home port for carriers. 28
We only have one carrier and it’s based in Yokosuka – removing it would
destroy capabilities because of lag time between missions
Eaglan 08 (Mackenzie, Senior Policy Analyst for National Security, Aircraft Carriers Are
Crucial, http://heritage.org/Research/Commentary/2008/08/Aircraft-Carriers-Are-
Crucial)
The Navy also should look to homeport additional carriers in either Hawaii or Guam. For
the past decade the only carrier home-ported outside the continental United States has been the Kitty
Hawk in Yokosuka, Japan. From California, it can take two weeks for a carrier strike group to travel to East
Asia and three weeks to reach the Persian Gulf. Shaving off this time by positioning a carrier in
Guam, for example, would allow ships to respond more quickly to unforeseen crises. It's
time to give aircraft carriers their due. They're not weapons platforms from a bygone era,
but rather flexible tools of national security that can offer a vast array of capabilities.
Congress was correct to stop the Navy from reducing the carrier fleet below the already-
low level of 11 carriers. Now it must be prepared to back up its foresightedness by
funding whichever option the Navy determines best for managing the looming
Enterprise/Ford shortfall. When the question is, "where are the carriers?" we need to
ensure the answer is, "plentiful, and ready to serve."
