	Japan Self-Defense Forces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The JSDF numbered 239,430 in 2005 with 147,737 in the Ground Self-Defense Force, 44,327 in the Maritime Self-Defense Force, 45,517 in the Air Self-Defense Force, and 1,849 in the Joint Staff Office.
		Thus the JSDF has a very limited oversea capability, lacks long range offensive capabilities like long range Surface-to-surface missiles, air-refueling (as of 2004), Marines or amphibious units, large caches of ammunitions, or ROE (Rules of Engagement).
		Under the proposed revisions, the JSDF would also be formally referred to as a military force for the first time since its establishment.

	Japan Self Defense Force
		The JSDF (MU) uniform is the branch and service uniform of the member's wider JSDF service with one small change.
		As The JSDF's only unit likely to see combat, many see it as a ticket to faster promotion, or as a marker of a true soldier; one who can be trusted to guard your back when the excrement hits the fan.
		Also any DP's who are from the JSDF in their home realms are, if they wish to continue to serve in this world, assigned to the MU detachment.

		Japan's Self Defense Forces (JSDF) are primarily responsible for external defense and less concerned with internal issues such as domestic insurgencies or ethnic conflicts.
		JSDF generally maintain a low profile, but with the world's second largest defense budget, they have built an impressive arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and platforms.
		There are also plans to improve maritime surveillance by setting up a patrol-helicopter unit, the first naval special operations unit or Special Guard Force and expansion of the substantial surface fleet with additional destroyers as well as the development of an amphibious capability.

	The Juneau Self-Defense Force
		Currently, the JSDF consists four brigades under the control of Land Force Command, and a strong force of various jet aircraft under the control of Air Force Command.
		At its heart, the JSDF is still a defense force with dreams of becoming a full-scale military rivalling the capabilities of not only Peace River, but also Port Arthur and its New Coalition.
		Should the JSDF or City Hall lack the wherewithal to make good on promises of regional security and stability, the results will show in not only the political and economic arenas, but also the fragile social fabric of the city-state itself.

	The Henry L. Stimson Center - Ito Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Therefore, the JSDF functions on the assumption that it only executes domestic missions in Japan and bilaterally with U.S. forces, and the expansion of the overseas mission and the national defense capability is currently limited to some extent.
		It is necessary for Japan to expand overseas missions and national defense capabilities of the JSDF not only for the national interests of Japan but also for the stability of the North East Asian region and the peace of the world.
		The JSDF should use all means such as the expansion of the military exchanges and security talks, bilateral or multilateral overseas joint training exercises, efforts toward arms control and disarmament through international organizations, and the maintenance of military transparency.

	The Henry L. Stimson Center - Japan's SDF Should Approach Jointness Differently than U.S. Forces (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Shortly after the inception of the new office, the JSDF will need to solve a host of problems, the most difficult of which is conceptualizing a new joint military strategy.
		However, the vast differences between Japanese and U.S. forces in the areas of size, capability, and role indicate that the SDF needs to pursue jointness in a way that is dissimilar to that of its U.S. counterparts.
		The JSDF's relatively smaller size in each of these categories means that Japan may have an easier time achieving progress on jointness.

	The United States Marines Corps And The Japan Self-Defense Force: An Outline
		Another argument used by some Americans to urge expan- sion of the JSDF is the idea (usually vaguely expressed) that U.S. forces then could be shifted out of Japan, free to fight somewhere else -- their roles and missions having been assumed by Japanese counterparts.
		In any consideration of the JSDF, it is essential to recognize the ambivalence with which it still is viewed by a significant percentage of Japanese society.

		The JSDF long ago took credit for Godzilla's demise, even though he was actually defeated by a prototype weapon created by a non-military scientist named Dr. Serizawa.
		The JSDF is portrayed as an under-funded, misunderstood, and extremely noble military force.
		In line with this resurrected patriotic fervor, the JSDF is contributing troops to the coalition forces in Iraq, in apparent violation of Article 9 of the constitution, which prohibits the JSDF from possessing offensive capability.
