COMNAVFORJAPAN

Commander, Naval Forces Japan (COMNAVFORJAPAN) is a United States Navy command responsible for overseeing naval operations and supporting U.S. naval forces stationed in Japan. Established after World War II, the command played a crucial role in the post-war occupation and rebuilding of Japan, as well as in the development of the U.S.-Japan security alliance. Over the decades, COMNAVFORJAPAN has supported regional stability, humanitarian missions, and joint exercises with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. Today, it continues to serve as a key element of the U.S. military presence in the Indo-Pacific, ensuring readiness and cooperation between the two nations' naval forces.
