About ZIP Code 96386
FPO AP 96386 provides military postal service to Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Ginowan City, Okinawa. MCAS Futenma hosts Marine Aircraft Group 36 (MAG-36), operating MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft and various helicopter types supporting III Marine Expeditionary Force. The air station was established after the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 and currently supports approximately 3,000 Marines. Mail routes through the USPS San Francisco International Service Center with typical delivery times of 10-14 days.
Futenma is part of 1st Marine Aircraft Wing and provides crucial aviation capabilities for expeditionary operations in the Indo-Pacific region. The MV-22 Osprey combines the vertical takeoff capability of helicopters with the speed and range of fixed-wing aircraft, enabling rapid assault transport missions. The air station's location in densely populated Ginowan City has made it a focus of bilateral discussions regarding U.S. force posture in Okinawa, with plans for eventual relocation to Camp Schwab at Henoko.
MCAS Futenma is part of MCB Camp Smedley D. Butler's installation network on Okinawa. Personnel have access to community services at nearby Camp Foster, including commissary, exchange, and MWR facilities. Personnel sending mail should use the appropriate unit format with FPO AP 96386. The installation continues supporting III MEF aviation requirements while discussions on future basing arrangements continue with the Government of Japan.
