JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, WASHINGTON -- One month after assuming command of Dental Health Command-Pacific, Col. Rodney Jones and Sgt. Maj. Erin Hicks conducted a site visit to Dental Health Activity-Japan (DHA-Japan) to get to know the team, recognize personnel and enhance bilateral partnerships between the dental clinic and members of the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force Dental (JGSDG) Corps.
During the six day visit, which began on Oct. 30, Jones visited Torii Station Dental Clinic in Okinawa; the dental headquarters and clinic at Camp Zama; and the JGSDF Dental Headquarters. He presented the Local National Length of Service Award to DHA-Japan employees, Ms. Ikuko Ogata, front desk administrator, (10 years), and Ms. Yuko Matsuba, dental hygienist, (20 years).

In an average month, DHC-P provides more than 13,000 dental encounters and has a workforce consisting of nearly 700 civilian and military personnel.
