Camp Foster, Military base in Ginowan, Japan
Camp Foster extends across multiple municipalities on Okinawa Island, functioning as the headquarters for Marine Corps Base Butler and Marine Corps Installations Pacific.
The installation received its current name in recognition of Private First Class William A. Foster, who earned the Medal of Honor during World War II.
Marine Corps Community Services coordinates programs between service members and local residents through sports competitions, festivals, and educational exchanges throughout the year.
The base contains three educational institutions, multiple housing zones, shopping facilities, entertainment venues, medical services, and recreational areas for military personnel and families.
Environmental investigations in 2013 revealed buried cultural artifacts and metal containers, leading to discussions about land restoration responsibilities between Japan and the United States.
