At that exercise, the Self -Defense Force usually changed the tradition of the island -winning combat subjects such as amphibious landing, and shifted the exercise to remote delivery and shore -based anti -ships.

With the guise of building an expedition to the base with the US military, trying to evolve the defense attributes of "outlying island defense" into an offensive strategy against the sea. Become a springboard.

Japan now proposes that within 5 years, "thoroughly strengthening the defense" and improving the military expenditure budget has become a set.
