Japanese and Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa service members meet for a tabletop exercise to discuss how they can support each other in an event involving the evacuation of Americans or Japanese from a hostile location in Africa, Aug. 27-28, 2016 at the Japanese base in Djibouti. During the exercise, both forces discussed route planning, logistics, equipment maintenance, how military personnel would be involved, medical support and use of air and ground transportation for evacuees. The plans also examined their strengths and weaknesses and reassessed the movement of evacuees to safety. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Benjamin Raughton/Released)
