Defense of Japan

The Defense of Japan refers to Japan's policies and measures to safeguard its security and sovereignty. It involves maintaining a capable Self-Defense Force (SDF), forming alliances like the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, and implementing strategies for regional stability. Japan emphasizes peaceful conflict resolution but prepares for potential threats such as missile attacks, regional disputes, or natural disasters. Its defense approach balances constitutional constraints with modern security needs, focusing on deterrence, international cooperation, and disaster response to protect its population and territory.
