A Message from the Commandant

The season of spring has come and I am glad to find all of you in good and fine. We enjoyed the beauty of cherry blossoms but the changes of the seasons are so fast.

In the Joint Staff College, on 31st March, I received office call from the Command and Staff College of Oman, and we promoted our bilateral friendship and mutual understanding during the office call, briefing, and opinion exchange with our college staffs and the JGSDF Staff College students taking the Advanced Command and General Staff Course.
　And on 23rd April, I received office call from the Pakistan national defence university and we had opinion exchange with our college staffs and students of the #16 Joint Advance Course.
　For those events, details will be introduced on the other page of this site, so please visit that page as well.

It is very moderate season, but it sometimes brings a cold day, , I hope you will take good care of yourself.
