1.

Situation

a. Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Iwakuni has undergone a period of transformation that has resulted in a large increase in resources and capabilities. These factors, combined with MCAS Iwakuni's strategic location within the region have increased our adversaries' interest in the air station. Everything on or within the flightline, port area, and other posted restricted areas requires a more restrictive security posture. The overall objective of this order is to limit access to obtaining valuable photographic information to those that would like to do MCAS Iwakuni harm. Seemingly harmless photos can be put together to gain valuable information. Every individual has a responsibility to report violations of this order and to report suspicious activity to limit the risk to MCAS Iwakuni’s security posture. For this order, photography refers to both still and motion image recording equipment.
b. Per the references, the purpose of this order is to provide guidance and direction for all service members; Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) civilians, contractors, and dependents; Master Labor Contract (MLC) / Indirect Hire Agreement (IHA) employees, Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF), Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF), Japan Ground

DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT C: Distribution authorized to U.S. Government agencies and their contractors; 5 U.S.C. §552 (b)(2) 20190226. Japan Maritime Self Defense Force, Fleet Air Wing 31, and subordinate units are authorized for retention. Other requests for this document will be referred to Security Management Office, MCAS Iwakuni,
