JGSDF response to an attack on the disputed islands! (video)



The Japanese are taking the threat about Chinese action on the disputed islands seriously.  Other nations in the region with a claim are talking, but so far I've seen no planning to deal with the issue.

Note also that they're doing what I've been calling for...they're working their amphibious, airborne and armored forces together along with amphibious ships, and their version of sea lift to make the response a timely one.  Also note that in this planning Air Force and Naval units are supporting rather than supported actors.

We would be well served to remember...wars are fought over pieces of land....control of the air above or the sea surrounding it will definitely help the fight but in order to win an Infantryman must stand on that prized piece of real estate!
