“Japan reviews ‘combat sustainment capability’ clearly stated in security documents… Preparing for long-term war”

Kyodo News reported that the Japanese government is considering a plan to specify strengthening 'relay capabilities' (the ability to sustain combat) in the 'National Defense Strategy', one of the three major security documents scheduled for revision within the year. Considering that a large amount of ammunition was consumed in a short period of time in the Ukraine War and the US-Iran armed conflict, the importance of preparing for a long-term war has been highlighted, and policies to expand involvement, such as investing in the defense industry and owning important equipment manufacturing plants, are also expected to be included.
