About this page

This page reports on the 10th anniversary ceremony of the Japan Self-Defense Force's Yonaguni garrison in Okinawa Prefecture. Located approximately 110 kilometers from Taiwan, the garrison serves as the military's "eyes and ears" regarding China, primarily gathering intelligence on surrounding vessels and aircraft. Plans include deploying a ground-to-air missile unit by fiscal year 2030. While the garrison commander described the facility expansion as a response to changing circumstances, the town mayor emphasized the need for careful resident explanations from the Defense Ministry. Some residents express concerns about incremental military expansion.
