Japan Self-Defense Forces

The Japan Self-Defense Forces (Jieitai), or JSDF, are the military forces in Japan that were established after the end of the post-World War II American occupation of Japan. For most of the post-war period the forces were confined to the islands of Japan and not permitted to be deployed abroad. In recent years, they have been engaged in international peacekeeping operations.

This project is taken on 26th October 2008, the free opening day to the public people.
