Movement From Japan Only Starter
Thousands of American servicemen abroad will be returning home as the United States initiates a global review of defense needs. The first step is the withdrawal of all ground combat forces from Japan, with up to 30,000 of about 100,000 in Japan slated for removal next month. European reassessment will follow as U S forces shift to modernized weapons and reorganized units. The changes aim to balance allied wishes, budget limits, and maintaining free world strength amid growing friction in Japan and Europe.
