1 Questions and Parameters
What operations? How and why selected? What did the JSDF actually do? How did they perform? How did performance affect the JSDF? How JSDF culture/configuration affected
performance? Were the JSDF effective international
actors?

Peace Operation:PMO, PKO, PSO, PEO, PBO

An Agenda for Peace Strata of UN Peace Operations
Peacemaking (PMO)- settlement or suspension of conflict
Peacekeeping (PKO)- policing/observing of settlement/ ceasefire
Peace Support (PSO)- support of peace by aiding civil society
Peace Enforcement Operations (PEO)- use of military power for settlement/ceasefire, or for compliance with UNSC Chapter VII resolution
Peace Building (PBO)-post-conflict reinforcement of civil society

Overseas Dispatch Operations (ODO)Japanese: International Peace Cooperation
Activities (IPCA: 国際平和協力活動 )Neutral, covering UN/non-UN operations,

Legal and Constitutional Limits on JSDF ODO
Article 9: Aspiring sincerely to an international peace
based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.
In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.

Fear of Clouds and Codes
There is an implicit ‘code’ The code is based upon perceptions of
interpretations of a translated document The code is not codified The code hangs above, like a ‘cloud’ The code/cloud affects laws, policies,
and operational decisions The code/cloud is imaginary, and very
real, and exerts a tremendous influence

Watanabe Takashi :The PKO in Cambodia-Lessons Learned: 101
What is basic common sense for the militaries of nations taking part in PKOs is not recognized by Japan...
Japanese PKO personnel were only able to defend themselves and other unit members …Moreover, the use of weapons …was left to the judgment of the individual, and appeared to be outside the standards of conduct for troops.

JSDF self-confidenceGSDF survey December 1974 ~ January 1975, 15,220 personnel
below rank of Lt. Col.
“Do you feel that the work of the SDF is meaningful”:
40.3% Not very much; 45.4% Yes, I do; 6.5% Yes, very much so; 7.8% No.
Equivalent surveys in 1995, 1997, and 2000 revealed positive answers above 75% level. Due both to domestic and overseas operations.

Effective Actors, Effective Policy?
Generally effective JSDF ODO Confused and contradictory policies,
laws, and rules Constitutional fear (‘code and cloud’) What is gained by such limited ODO? What is the point? ODO as a strategic device? The enigma of leadership

Conclusions
JSDF ODO: Low Cost – Medium Return Introduced new security ‘horizons’ ODO as a ‘Trojan Horse’ for new norms? JSDF as Effective International Actors JSDF stretched by missions Capability gaps: logistics, ‘jointery’, training
etc. As yet, no militarization of policy As yet, strategy as speculation
