Around 3:30 p.m. on April 16 in Matsuda, Ginoza Village, 10 or more U.S. military amphibious vehicles crossed National Route 329 while traveling from the ocean toward the mountains. Regular traffic was stopped for over 10 minutes as the amphibious vehicles passed.
When U.S. forces move north and south across Route 329, the passage of regular traffic is restricted. The amphibious vehicles crossed Route 329 in succession, heading from the coast of Katabaru in Matsuda onto Camp Hansen.
