The three kinds of JSDF

JFDF has three sorts :

 JGSDF (Japanese Ground Self Defense Force, ”Rikujou-Jieitai”)

JMSDF(Japanese Marine Self Defense Force, “Kaijou-Jieitai”)

JASDF(Japanese Air Self Defense Force, “Kouku-Jieitai”)

Each JSDF plays different roles.

JGSDF covers Japanese land. Their works are to eliminate enemies who get on Japanese land and get back Japanese islands which are occupied by foreign forces.

JMSDF covers Japanese sea. Their main work is to defend Japanese territorial waters from spy ship.

JASDF covers Japanese sky. Their main work is to defend Japanese sky.

These three kinds JSDF cooperate to defend Japan.

Now, I want to introduce each JSDF more details.

First, I introduce about JGSDF.

JGSDF has the largest number of member in these three : about 150,000.

The amount of JSDF’s member is about 250,000. So JGSDF occupies 60% of all JSDF members.

Nothing to say, they also occupies the largest position in JSDF’s budgets : about $250000000, twice as large as JMADF and JASDF.

Then, let’s see about their weapons.

To complete their works, they have many weapons.

Tank, helicopter, missiles, truck, and so on. (I would like to introduce more details about their weapons later.)

These weapons are very strong and many high technologies are used in them.

Nowadays, Japanese conflicts with the periphery becomes more and more seriously.

So to prepare for the worst situation, breaking out some war between Japan and ●●●, they needs much stronger weapons.

Second, I introduce about JMSDF.

As I said before, their main work is to eliminate spy ships. So they have many ships to play this role. Their ships are generally called “○○-Gata-Goeikan” in Japanese.

“Gata” means “Type” in English. For instance, there is one famous Goei-kan “Kongou-gata-Goeikan”.

There are some types of their ships. Aegis ship, Submarine, destroyer, and so on.

Especially, JMSDF’s submarine is very strong.

They are called “Souryuu-Gata” “Oyashio-Gata”. First, they are very silent.

Most of foreign forces’ ship can’t detect them. Second, they can go underwater very long time: about more than two weeks. As long as JMSDF have them, China, Korea, and Rossi can’t violate Japanese territory water easily.

Third, I introduce about JASDF. They covers Japanese sky.

Every day, some plane which belong to China, Korea, and Rossi violate Japanese airspace to scout some information about Japanese ability of defend.

JASDF intercepts them.

Needless to say, JASDF has many planes and missiles. F-15,F-2, and F-4 are ggod example. They are very strong, but too expensive. So JASDF is always luck of funds.
