Okinawa base plan may trim troops in Japan
Washington and Tokyo weigh consolidation of bases on Okinawa that could move a small number of troops elsewhere in Japan. Officials say overall U.S. troop level in Japan would stay near 47,000, with about 29,000 on Okinawa. Any Okinawa reduction would be under 10 percent of the current total. The plan aims to lessen the US presence by consolidating bases and altering training to ease local concerns after the 12 year old girl rape case.
