Chief Warrant Officer 2 Nicholas Duncan, Marine Gunner for 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, discussed the importance of the exercise: "Allowing us an opportunity to build and continuing an extended relationship with the Japanese government and opening up some more maneuvering space for our Marines to get some great training.
