The overhaul comes as Tokyo looks to establish a new joint headquarters to oversee its armed forces
TOKYO -- The United States will unveil a major revamp of its military command structure in Japan and other measures to deepen defence ties with its Asian ally at high-level security talks in Tokyo on Sunday, a US official said.
"Secretary Austin plans to announce that the United States intends to reconstitute US Forces Japan as a Joint Force Headquarters, reporting to the commander of US INDOPACOM," the US official told a briefing ahead of the talks. Japan provides a base for the US to project its military power in Asia, hosting 54,000 American troops, hundreds of US aircraft and Washington's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier strike group.
The Biden administration has been pushing for deeper cooperation between Tokyo and Seoul, which have previously been hindered by strained relations dating back to Japan's 1910-1945 occupation of Korea. Last month, Tokyo and Washington opened talks on deeper defence industry collaboration under the US-Japan Forum on Defense Industrial Cooperation, Acquisition and Sustainment established in April by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and President Joe Biden.
