Japan GSDF opens new garrison in southern Japan

Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force personnel can be seen on March 16, 2023, at a garrison that opened the same day on Ishigaki Island in Okinawa Prefecture, southern Japan. Some 570 or fewer GSDF members will be stationed on the island near the disputed Senkaku Islands and Taiwan, apparently in response to China's intensifying military activities in nearby waters.
