Japanese forces

Japanese forces refer to Japan's military, officially known as the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF), established for national defense following World War II. They include the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (army), Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (navy), and Japan Air Self-Defense Force (air force). Japan maintains a primarily defensive posture, focusing on protecting its territory and contributing to international peacekeeping. While constitutionally limited from engaging in offensive warfare, the JSDF is equipped with modern technologies and collaborates with allied nations, particularly the United States, to ensure regional stability and security.
