00:04.040 --> 00:07.880
The global War on terror , combined

00:07.880 --> 00:10.047
with our peacetime mission , displaced

00:10.047 --> 00:12.102
a heavy burden on Air Force assets .

00:12.102 --> 00:14.324
But America has friends willing to lend

00:14.324 --> 00:16.436
a hand . Senior man Daniel Mckittrick

00:16.436 --> 00:18.620
explains . That's Japan Air Self

00:18.620 --> 00:21.210
Defense Force 61 . It's touching down

00:21.210 --> 00:23.099
at Yokota Air Base to pick up and

00:23.099 --> 00:25.321
deliver cargo to US personnel stationed

00:25.321 --> 00:27.560
throughout Japan and Guam , a mission

00:27.560 --> 00:29.560
that frees up U . S . Pilots to fly

00:29.560 --> 00:31.782
supply missions in the war on terror as

00:31.782 --> 00:33.893
this plane replaces the U . S . Plane

00:33.893 --> 00:35.838
that would normally fly this route

00:35.838 --> 00:39.680
uh , by accomplishing the U . S . And

00:39.680 --> 00:41.791
Japan's contribution to international

00:41.791 --> 00:43.624
peace and by producing excellent

00:43.624 --> 00:45.310
results , we can strengthen a

00:45.320 --> 00:47.350
relationship of mutual trust ,

00:50.000 --> 00:52.820
a short but very important mission , a

00:52.820 --> 00:54.876
mission allowing Japan to contribute

00:54.876 --> 00:56.987
their people and resources to the war

00:56.987 --> 00:58.820
on terror . Senior airman Daniel
