DEPARTMENT of DEFENSE EDUCATION ACTIVITY PACIFIC EAST DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT's OFFICE UNIT 5072 APO AP 96328-5072 Dear Dodea DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EDUCATION ACTIVITY PACIFIC EAST DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT’S OFFICE UNIT 5072 APO AP 96328-5072 July 15, 2020 Dear DoDEA Pacific East Employees, I understand that many of you are off duty and may be traveling in locations outside of your duty station. DoDEA Pacific cares about your safety, as well as the safety of your family, our military communities, and our host nation partners. I am writing today to ensure you are aware of the current U.S. Forces Japan travel requirements. Entering Japan on Commercial Air All DoDEA employees entering Japan on commercial air must complete a 14-day Restriction of Movement (ROM) at their location of entry. This means that there can be no forward movement (i.e. a connecting domestic flight), until the mandatory ROM is completed. Employees flying commercial air must fly into Japan through Narita or Haneda airports, as there are no ROM resources for SOFA members at the Osaka airport or the surrounding airports. It is imperative that employees arriving on commercial air complete all Government of Japan forms with accuracy, including the required health questionnaire. Employees must also be able to provide reliable contact information should Japanese officials need to contact them. Entering Japan on Patriot Express Employees who have secured travel on the Patriot Express will ROM at their final destination (not necessarily) their location of entry as long as they adhere to their Patriot Express flight itinerary and remain on military installations throughout their travels. ROM Lodging All employees coming into Japan must ROM either on a military installation or at their personal residence. Please ensure to discuss travel and ROM plans with your school sponsor and that lodging reservations have been made at the appropriate location prior to your arrival. For most DoDEA employees, military installation lodging will be provided at the Kanto Lodge at Yokota Air Base. Employees should take the military shuttle from the airport to Yokota AB. For employees stationed in Sasebo, military installation lodging will be provided at the temporary lodging facility (TLF) on Navy Air Facility Atsugi. Employees should take the military shuttle from the airport to NAF Atsugi for their ROM. For employees on orders stationed at Command Fleet Activities Yokosuka (CFAY), military installation lodging will be at Navy Lodge or Navy Gateway Inn and Suites (NGIS). Employees should take the military shuttle from the airport to Yokosuka for their ROM. Note: For Navy installations, recent changes by Commander, Naval Forces Japan to ROM requirements is for the entire household to be on ROM for 14 days, even if the family member/s did not travel. Employees traveling to their residence should travel via personal vehicle. No public transportation is authorized. RAT Travel If you are on RAT or taking personal leave, you are responsible for all costs associated with ROM. Please ensure you provide the most updated detailed information about your planned itinerary to your leadership and school secretary to ensure compliance with the latest military installation guidelines. Once an itinerary is finalized, you must adhere to your plan or immediately contact your supervisor should any issues arise. In accordance with United States Forces Japan (USFJ) guidelines and DoDEA expectations, employees cannot book off-base hotels or rental cars until after their 14-day ROM is completed. As a reminder, please continue to follow local installation HPCON/safety guidance, to include maintaining a contact tracing log in order to support public health officials in the event of a positive case of COVID-19. The attached item is a listing of the locations for information for all installations. Pacific East Welcome Packets for each installation may be found at our ePortal at https://sites.google.com/student.dodea.edu/eportal/home As you know, COVID-19 can rapidly impact local conditions. Please continue to follow your local installation HPCON/safety guidance. Be sure to keep in close contact with your supervisor and sponsor. Thank you for all of the work you do. We are excited to have everyone back in Japan and begin the school year. Dr. Judith J. Allen Superintendent .

Topographically, the prefecture consists of three distinct areas. The mountainous western region features the Tanzawa Mountain Range and Hakone Volcano. The hilly eastern region is characterized by the Tama Hills and Miura Peninsula. The central region, which surrounds the Tama Hills and Miura Peninsula, consists of flat stream terraces and low lands around major rivers including the Sagami River, Sakai River, Tsurumi River, and Tama River. [2] Climate: The climate is moderate due to the warm current running along the Pacific side of the archipelago. [2] Time zone: GMT +7 in summer (+8 in winter) International dialling code: 0081 Recent history, culture Kanagawa has played a major role in some significant periods in Japan's history. The first began in 1192, when the first military government was established in Kamakura. This made Kanagawa the centre of the Japanese political scene. The second period commenced in 1859, when the Port of Yokohama was opened to the world after more than 200 years of strict national isolation. Since then, Kanagawa became the gateway for the introduction of Western civilization. The third period was the 1950s, when the Japanese economy was being reconstructed after World War II. During this period, along with the development of the Keihin Industrial Belt, Kanagawa played a significant role in rebuilding the war-devastated Japanese economy.

  • The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences
    The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences ISHIMARU Yasuzo Introduction When the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, Japan had been under the occupation of the Allied Forces. Nevertheless, Japan achieved its role as a rear base for the supply and transit of soldiers and materials. What linked the Korean Peninsula—the battlefield—and Japan—the rear base—were the sea and air transport routes, and what supported the sea transport routes were the Japanese ports. These ports in fact constituted important hubs connecting the battlefield and the rear base. During the same period, new laws pertaining to ports were established. These were the Port and Harbor Law (Law No. 218 of 1950) and the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law (Law No. 220 of 1950). The Port and Harbor Law established on the principle that the ports should be managed by local administration.1 Meanwhile, the aim of the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law was to establish a peaceful Japan by converting the former naval bases2 into industrial port cities. Therefore, right when Japanese ports were changing to new ports, the nation was thrown into the Korean War, which set back their efforts. The Korean War had a decisive influence on the path of post-war Japan,3 which prompted studies on its political and economic influences, its history, and on the rearmament of Japan. However, although some literature exists on Japan’s support to the Korean War,4 no studies have ever tried to focus on ports. This article discusses the role Japanese ports played during the Korean War and how they were affected by the war.

To understand what the future may have in store for Iwakuni, we Chugoku Shinbun decided to closely examine the situation in Atsugi. Translated by Aaron Skabelund In recent years, the mayors of cities hosting American bases in Japan, and particularly in Okinawa, propelled by powerful citizen movements, have resisted American plans for base reorganization that would expand the US military presence in their communities. In many cases, powerful pressure from Tokyo, in the form of threats to cut off development aid to local communities, and offers to buy off local opposition, have succeeded in dividing local communities and forcing local officials to yield to the power of the center. The Hiroshima- based Chugoku Shinbun here examines realignments involving Atsugi Air Base, Iwakuni Marine Base and Yokosuka Naval Base, three locales experiencing major upgrading of U.S. military power and changes in the structuring of U.S. forces in Japan. ms Major US Bases in Japan and Okinawa One evening we stood directly below the flight Dealing with the Din of Jets for 35 Years path taken by the Atsugi carrier jets in the city of Yamato.
