Summary This event supports delivery of CCMR Peacekeeping program USPACOM United Nations Staff Officer Course (UNSOC) to members of the Japanese Armed Forces and a select number of international military officers. This course/event (MASL 279389) is regularly conducted, on an annual basis, by CCMR throughout the Asia-Pacific area. This training was coordinated and agreed upon bilaterally by the US and Japanese governments during the Bilateral Defense Discussions. If this course does not occur it would diminish Japan's capacity to train and deploy UN staff officer-qualified peacekeepers into United Nations peacekeeping missions and nationally train officers at the Japan peacekeeping training center. This would negatively affect future US-Japan peacekeeping cooperation. There is potential that failure to support this training could adversely impact force generation for potential new UN missions or extend already deployed contingent members in place due to inadequate replacements available. The course is pre-coordinated in detail and supported by the US Embassy in Tokyo, Japan and United States Pacific Command.
