Col. Stephen Grabski, deputy commander of U.S. Army Japan, said the Army week is a chance to show Army pride.
The event included music performances, a Taiko Drum performance by Japan Ground Self-Defense Force members, barbecue grilled food, and a cake-cutting ceremony.
"I think everybody is having a good time," said Command Sgt. Maj. Willard Holland, command sergeant major of U.S. Army Garrison Japan.
