Request to place KC-130s at Iwakuni rejected
Tokyo has rejected request from Washingto that KC-130 tanker planes stationed in Okinawa be relocated to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni instead of the JMSDF’s Kanoya base as initially agreed.

The Japanese government is concerned that partially revising an interim report the two countries agreed last October on the U.S. military realignment in Japan would result in the whole plan being revised.
