As of June 30th 2000, 63% of U.S. Armed Forces in Japan, equivalent to 24,858 personnel of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, were stationed in Okinawa Prefecture. Especially, there are 15,364 U.S. Marines, which accounts for 62% of the U.S. Armed Forces in Okinawa.

Accuracy is questionable though. It's from a group that wants our troops off Okinawa.

There is at least 1 Marine division (17,000) stationed on Okinawa. And the AF has a large composite fighter wing at Kadena.
