Description

The Dept. of Defense (DOD) has stated that it intends to rebalance its defense posture toward the Asia-Pacific region. Japan hosts the largest U.S. forward-operating presence in this region; the majority of the U.S. forces in Japan are located in Okinawa. The U.S. and Japan planned to reduce the U.S. military presence on Okinawa by relocating approx. 9,000 Marines. DOD had originally planned to move the Marines only to Guam, but revised its plans in 2012 to include other locations in the Pacific. This report discusses the extent to which DOD has (1) developed a comprehensive cost estimate for the realignment of Marines; (2) planned for and synchronized other movements to coincide with the realignment; and (3) identified plans to sustain the force until all initiatives are implemented. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
