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
or 046-407-911

Program’s proactive campaign to increase the
resilience of the Army community by informing of
relevant hazards and encouraging Soldiers,
their Families, Army Civilians and contractors to,
“Get a Kit. Make a Plan. Be Informed.”

What is Ready Army?
Through outreach and education Ready Army calls
our Army community to action and aims to create a
culture of preparedness that will save lives and
strengthen the nation.

Get a Kit
When disaster strikes, emergency responders
address the most critical needs and may not
even be able to get to an area until it is deemed
safe. While they work on behalf of the entire
community, it is your responsibility to ensure
your family’s well-being during times of crisis.
Emergency kits to sustain for 72 hours are an
essential tool for meeting that challenge.
