U.S. Marines with the maritime raid force, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and soldiers with the Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade Recon Company, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, participate in bilateral helocast training during Iron Fist 24, off the coast of Okinawa, Japan, Mar. 10, 2024. An effective preventative measure for mishaps is training, ensuring our service members are prepared to operate under any circumstances and in any operating environment. Iron Fist is an annual bilateral exercise designed to increase interoperability and strengthen the relationships between the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy, the JGSDF, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.
