United States Army, Japan → United States Army Japan —
- The actual name of this unit is written without the comma (see its homepage) --noclador (talk) 12:18, 25 April 2010 (UTC) noclador (talk) 12:18, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not an armed forces department. How far do we go along with the military habit of omitting commas and "of" in unit and group names? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:45, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose- That picture at the top of the homepage is what you are referring to right? Did you even look for any text on the site, here is the first two lines of a paragraph at the bottom of the page:
"PRIVACY AND SECURITY NOTICE
- United States Army, Japan (USARJ) is provided as a public service by the USARJ Public Affairs Office and the 78th Signal Battalion."
It clearly shows use of the comma. Otherwise it just doesn't make any sense. The picture is just a picture. Go to the homepage and look at the bottom if you don't believe me. --WikiDonn (talk) 04:47, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose - It seems that the comma is part of the units name, but even if it wasn't, clarity would require it in the article name. Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:23, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Propaganda/Notability
editSooooo much unreferenced propaganda. Surely this page could be merged into an existing article detaining branches of the US Army. As it stands now we have a very undersized article made up of unreferenced propaganda that has a lead section as large (if not larger than) the actual body of the article. 101.184.85.5 (talk) 13:34, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Date first in service
editI have to question the 1 July 1957 date as I have pictures from Tokyo dates 1953 showing men in uniform with the Mt Fuji shoulder insignia. Possibly that is the official date, but men were wearing the shoulder sleeve insignia in 1953 during the Korean war. In fact, if you look at the history page on their official site https://www.usarj.army.mil/about/history/, you will see they were formed on 26 July 1941.
