Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan
In 1962, after the conclusion of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan, the base was returned to the control of the Japanese government and reestablished as a training facility for the post-war Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. It has been home to the JGSDF 34th Infantry Regiment, which has been active in various disaster relief operations throughout Japan since that time.
