U.S. Army Strykers en route to Japan

U.S. Army Strykers from the 25th Infantry Division are on their way to Japan.

Operation Orient Shield is a joint training exercise between the US Army and the Japanese ground defense force.

This is the 13th year of the annual training exercise but the first time that Stryker vehicles will participate and operate in Japan.

The army says the exercise is designed to enhance U.S. and Japanese combat readiness.
