“Defense of Japan 2025” discusses the security environment surrounding Japan and the efforts of the MOD/SDF. It comprehensively explains our progress towards
the fundamental reinforcement of defense capabilities of Japan, including modifications and related topics. The opening pages contain a special feature article to give people an image of joint operations following the establishment of the JJOC, as well as a special feature article about the basic policy on improving the treatment and working environments of SDF personnel that was mentioned earlier.
In addition to the articles, personnel have shared their reflections and perspectives. I hope this white paper will help as many readers as possible to better comprehend the security environment surrounding Japan and the efforts made by the MOD/SDF.
