Description

The unit is the main United States Army garrison in the Okinawa prefecture. US Army Garrison Okinawa is responsible for receiving and distributing cargo, distributing the island's military fuel supply, and port operations.
The site is located in the level area of southwestern Yomitan village and is a very significant strategic communication network. Over 400 Japanese farmers maintain fields on the base for farming crops such as sugar cane, but the space allocations for farming are shrinking.
