CAMP HIGASHI-CHITOSE, Japan - 11th Airborne Division, 3-509 Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) Commander Lt. Col. Brandon Davis speaks on how Orient Shield 26 has been for his Soldiers, the experience of training alongside the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force and the benefit of maintaining a coordinate lethality with our allies and partners, September 22, 2026. Orient Shield, 17-24 September 2026, is designed to enhance trilateral multi-domain and JGSDF cross-domain interoperability and readiness during a trilateral FTX. The exercise tests the reception, staging, onward-movement (RSOI), and integration of U.S. forces deploying to Japan, while demonstrating the U.S. resolve to support the security interests of allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
