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.


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

What is Ready Army?

Ready Army is the Army Emergency Management 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.

Make a Plan

• Ensure everyone understands the plan, and practices.• How to communicate during an emergency.• Consider what to do, where to go, what to take.• Plan for members with disabilities or special needs.• Include pets in family plan.• Report status through ADPAAS.• Identify a continental U.S. contact.
