The runway at Yokota has markings to replicate an austere airfield for pilots to practice for assault take-off and landing. The 401st Tactical Airlift Squadron is not able to do that at their home base at Komaki Air Base.
The idea of using Yokta for training came from Maj. Lucas Crouch, who is stationed at Komaki.
