Is it just me or does it seem like the Japanese are really pushing small boat handling and raids in their joint training with the USMC?
What has me curious is that it doesn't fit with the published accounts of how they're going to defend the disputed islands from Chinese attacks and points toward a more offensive role for their forces in the future.
Sidenote: I would love to know which JGSDF unit participated in this training. That would provide a bit more visibility on their intentions.
