Alumni Mansfield Fellow John Wright (United States Air Force) provided an overview of Japan’s new Midterm Defense Plan in commentary published in the April 3 PacNet newsletter. Major Wright observed that “While the new plan looks similar to its predecessors, proposed capabilities target emerging domains considered essential to high-end warfare. This makes the plan the most consequential MTDP in a long time, especially for the U.S.-Japan alliance.” Major Wright, who participated in the Mike Mansfield Fellowship Program from 2015-2016, currently serves as Japan Country Director, International Affairs, Headquarters Pacific Air Forces.
