JUMP Panel: Potential Flashpoints for the Northeast Asia Region
On Thursday, November 4th, JASW and the Embassy
of Japan collaborated with Sasakawa USA and the National War College Alumni
Association to host a second JUMP program. JUMP – the Japan U.S. Military
Program – connects military service members and government civilians who have
served in Japan. The National War College generously housed the event, which
allowed current and past students with an interest in Japan to gather and
interact with each other and people who have lived abroad.

Over 100 people turned out to watch a panel of distinguished
speakers, including Lt. Gen. Wallace “Chip” Gregson, Jr., James L. Schoff,
Scott A. Snyder, Bonnie S. Glaser, and moderator, Dr. Cynthia Watson, discuss
potential flashpoints in Northeast Asia. Panelists covered a wide range of
topics revolving around Japan, China, and the Korean Peninsula as well as the
relations between Northeast Asian states and the U.S. After a Q&A session,
attendees moved from the Roosevelt Hall to the lobby of the college to have
dinner and network.
JUMP is organized into regional chapters throughout the United
States. If you are a service member or civilian with experience in Japan and
would like to attend future JUMP events or learn more about the organization,
