Since the late 1990s, the imperialist Japanese army (Japan is a Constitutional Monarchy) has been training for war on the U.S. Army’s (USA) Yakima Training Center (YTC), in the state of Washington. It is officially called Exercise/Operation Rising Thunder.

Japan Ground Self Defense Forces (JGSDF) use many different armored vehicles during the war games, including the Cold War era Type 74 (supposedly to be retired in 2024).
