 Kendall in the Common Challenges Program. The two join Sasakawa's expanding team
of experts focusing on U.S.-Japan relations bilaterally, regionally and globally.

in 2014, he was the commander of Air Training Command for Japan's Self-Defense Forces.
James Kendall joined Sasakawa USA in December 2014 as Fellow for Common Challenges
after a dynamic career in the Marine Corps, where he served in various roles across

clients in private industry, government and the not-for-profit sphere. His expertise
includes defense and aerospace, Asia-Pacific affairs, project management, and strategic
