Army Lt. Col. Bryan C. Jones, commander, U.S. Army Aviation Battalion-Japan, explains his command’s aviation assets and capabilities during the second Tachikawa Helicopter Conference conducted July 26, 2016, in Camp Tachikawa, Japan. Hosted by the JGSDF Eastern Army, the conference brought together representatives from the Japan Self-Defense Forces, United States military branches, and Japan’s civil aviation authorities to exchange information and develop policies to conduct helicopter operations during a major disaster. As the only rotary wing battalion stationed in Japan, USAABJ serves as U.S. Army Japan’s primary asset for aviation support. USAABJ’s close partnership with its Japanese aviation counterparts has produced a bilateral agreement for the battalion to assist in an emergency response operation or disaster relief mission if the Japanese government requests it.

Gen. Robert B. Brown (left), U.S. Army Pacific commanding general, and Command Sgt. Maj. Bryant Lambert (right), U.S. Army Pacific command sergeant major, present the Mana O Ke Koa "Spirit of the Warrior" Award to the Honorable Daniel K. Akaka, a Hawaii U.S. Representative (1976-1990) and Senator (1990-2013). Akaka was on hand Friday evening to receive the Mana O Ke Koa "Spirit of the Warrior" Award which honors individuals who have distinguished themselves by their steadfast support of Soldiers, their Families and the Army community. The award was established by United States Army Pacific in June 2007, coinciding with the centennial celebration of Fort Shafter. The Mana O Ke Koa award is symbolized by the Kahili, handcrafted in the traditional Hawaiian manner and made entirely of wood, bone and feathers. Kahili were used in ancient Hawaiian times in the same way as European nobility used shields with coats of arms. Hawaiian nobility used the Kahili to show status, lineage and family ties. Akaka shared how honored he was to have served in the Army, how he is what he is today, and how he has been able to do what he has done, thanks to his service in the U.S. Army. "I'm so grateful and appreciate the privileges that I have in helping our country's security to the United States Army," Akaka said. "I want to tell you that the Army made a huge difference in my life." (U.S. Army picture by Staff Sgt. Chris McCullough, U.S. Army Pacific Public Affairs)
