U.S. military personnel and facilities, both at home and
abroad, remain potential targets for those who wish to do
them harm.
Throughout our history, the U.S. Army has tackled the
toughest challenges.
If you see something, say something.

Adversarial forces adapt their tactics to avoid strength,
exploit weakness, and demonstrate their capability to attack
at the time and place of their choosing.
Individual awareness of suspicious activities is a key element
in the identification of potential threatening actions.

Criminal assault methods have evolved over the past century
to a present-day "insider" threat possibility.
Suspicious activity reporting is a fundamental element of the
programs in place to keep both the U.S. Army Japan and U.S.
Army Garrison Japan communities safe.

From deploying units around the area of responsibility to
Corps of Engineers projects throughout Japan, every activity,
every mission and every operation will have situational
awareness.

Both the iWATCH Army and iSALUTE reporting programs are
community tools in our arsenal against threats to force
protection.

We know our missions, our operations and our
responsibilities.
Report suspicious activities to your local Military Police or
ATO by calling: 263-3002 or 911 and or off post 046-407-3002
