Military
Japan is the foremost military powerhouse in Asia. Possessing the third largest navy in the world and a considerably large army with modern equipment, tactics and industrial capacity to supply it. Japan is a force to be reckoned with in any conflict taking place in the Far-East. Still, the armed forces of Japan face several problems. The relative lack of resources in the Japanese home islands places severe restrictions on the capability of Japan to wage a long-term war and the supply convoys of the Pacific are vulnerable to naval attacks.
Army
The majority of the standing army of Japan is currently stationed in Manchuria, Korea and Transamur. A significant number of garrisons are also situated in the Japanese-held islands in the Pacific Ocean, like Wake and Iwo Jima.
Navy
The Nihon Kaigun is one of the few navies in the world that employ aircraft carriers and thus it has significant power-projection capabilites and most major ports in the Pacific are within its reach. Being one of the largest navies of the world, the Nihon Kaigun has a vast array of vessels, from the aforementioned aircraft carriers to battleships and cruisers of various sizes. One of the most important tasks of the navy is to protect the vital trade and supply routes of the Pacific and a vast number of destroyers are deployed for this task.
Air Force
The Air Force is mainly tasked with supporting the two other military branches and thus employs a significant amount of tactical and naval bombers, the latter which are also used for convoy protection.
