Greetings, I want to thank you for visiting the Japan Chapter of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) website.

 We are a proud part of a vital National Association with over 100,000 members in over 125 Chapters located throughout the world. 

The Japan chapter encompasses all of the country of Japan and we operate two sub-chapters, one in Okinawa and the other in the Tokyo/Yokota Air Force Base area. Our Chapter falls under the Pacific Region which also includes Alaska, Hawaii and Korea.

AUSA is one of 35 Military, Veterans and Uniformed Services Organizations that comprise The Military Coalition.  The philosophy of the Coalition is that by working collectively on issues of mutual agreement, the member organizations then have the support of more than 5.5 individuals.  This total combined effort by the 35 organizational members lends tremendous weight and unanimity to Congressional testimony.  The Military Coalition has eight Legislative Standing Committees which recommend issues, positions and actions within their purview.  AUSA has at least one representative assigned to at least one Standing Committee.

Locally, the Japan Chapter is strong and growing.  Our main office is located on Camp Zama, Japan.  The Chapter has over 240 individual members and over 45 corporate members.  We have quarterly General Membership Meetings at Camp Zama, host several golf tournaments at the award winning Camp Zama Golf Club and participate in numerous fund raising activities.  Our Chapter has a viable Scholarship Financial Aid Program, High School Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (JROTC) Program, and an Active Duty Soldier and Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) Awards Recognition Program.  We support and participate in many local events such as The Army Ball, Awards Recognition and Retirement Ceremonies and Morale Welfare Recreation (MWR) activities.

 AUSA, “The Voice for the Army “needs your support, whether it be Individual or by Corporate Representation.  For over 50 years, AUSA has fostered public support of the Army’s role in National Security.  In any volunteer organization, it takes a “Team Effort” to accomplish the mission and goals.  The Japan Chapter, AUSA, appreciates your interest in our organization and welcomes your support.  Thanks for visiting our web site and please take a moment to visit any of our hyperlinks.

 With Warmest Regards 

Jim Hewitt

President

Japan Chapter, AUSA
