moment in Tinian and Guam seize the island, the US-Japan joint military exercise is another high-profile events in the context of the Diaoyu Islands dispute upgrade. In the meantime, the U.S. military made the Diaoyu Islands in the position of the US-Japan Security Treaty, Japan’s defense minister also took the opportunity to claim that with the US-Japan alliance to defend the Diaoyu Islands.

On the surface, both the United States and Japan, echoed each other seem to exercises rectification of names to mention gas. But the field of international politics there are no permanent enemies and friends, only permanent interests. The exercises such increasingly frequent occurrence of the event, although the form and so forth, but the service of politics, the aim of serving as the national strategic interests are the same.

for more far-reaching strategic background it is not difficult to fathom the ins and outs of the U.S. and Japan won the island exercises both wishful thinking.

Diaoyu Islands issue between “nail”, but it is the Americans “strategic heritage

after the end of World War II, according to the Yalta Agreement, the sovereignty of Taiwan and its affiliated islands belong to China, but then the jurisdiction of the United States yet the Diaoyu Islands to Japan, which foreshadowed the Diaoyu Islands dispute. Later, no matter what changes the situation, the Americans can boon. In fact, similar to “nail” the United States also left a lot, such as the Taiwan issue, the South China Sea issue.

Recently, the Japanese islands collective outbreak of the Diaoyu Islands, the islands of Russia and South Korea compete for intensified. Under the embattled, Japan with the U.S. military obtained psychological comfort to put pressure on China’s intention is obvious. The U.S. the opportunity to justifiably strengthen in the Western Pacific region, especially its military presence in Japan to achieve its strategic return to Asia.

for the United States, the tiny Diaoyu Islands is a perfect pawn to contain China, sometimes play this card, can often be forced to disperse considerable effort, and even attempt to force the Chinese to be made in the other major issues concessions. Seize the island for 37 days military exercise will enable the Diaoyu Islands remained extremely high, but it is also the attitude of China’s first tentative Americans willing to do. Japan detained Chinese captain incident occurred two years ago in the Diaoyu Islands, the United States also plays the role of the behind-the-scenes manipulators. Future, Americans will continue to make good use of their ancestors left this heritage.

The Island wins military exercise is the Japan Self-Defense Forces face-lift legal restrictions on progressive breakthrough step

July 31 this year, Japan’s defense minister Morimoto sensitive The 2012 edition of “Defense White Paper” report to the cabinet meeting and approved. Morimoto sensitive Yoshihiko Noda on security issues in Japan, the two men had also issued a dispatch Self-Defense Forces, “remarks on the Diaoyu Islands issue. However, limited by international law and domestic law in Japan, the Japan Self-Defense Forces to be spent on the Diaoyu Islands issue is not easy.

can be expected that the Japan Self-Defense Forces in the future will also implement such exercise and make it a regular, will try to pull U.S. troops finalists, but sometimes it may also be the main Japanese Self-Defense Forces. According to Japan’s Kyodo News reported, Japan has already begun the process of revising the Japan-US defense cooperation guidelines. According to another report, in the exercise before the United States and Japan have reached an agreement, as the exercise site in Guam and Tinian, in the future will allow the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to participate in the US-Japan joint training in the form of rotation on the island, became Japan’s de facto another at important overseas garrison, which has started to break Japan’s “exclusive defense” principle.

In fact, Japan’s new deployment is entirely modeled on the United States. Under the general trend of the transfer of military deployment focus to the Asia-Pacific, the biggest change of the U.S. military is no longer totally dependent on the establishment of military bases in other countries, but to use the existing military facilities in other countries, cooperation training in other countries deployment rotation.

U.S. troops this change is relative to its long-established during the Cold War and the standing of the traditional way of troops abroad. In the Asia-Pacific military power reorganization plan developed by the U.S. military in Darwin, Australia, Singapore Changi, Palawan, Philippines and Luzon Philippine military base, are U.S. military rotation the stronghold of deployment, the dollar often used as trailblazers. The Island wins military exercises, Japan’s Self-Defense Force on the island participating, in exchange, the Americans get the benefits of Japan invested Guam and Tinian base. This boon to the United States, because in the context of the financial crisis, the United States had massive cuts in military spending, also suffering from the impact of the military facilities in Guam and Tinian.

At the same time, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces of the wins Island military exercise focused on the implementation of the new National Defense Program Outline “from the presence of the defense capability to the proposed use of the defense capability.” After helping the United States, Japan has the world’s most advanced weaponry and reconnaissance and surveillance systems, such as anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft, Aegis, but the equipment is truly effective, Japan is not useful to know about that.

the exercise, Japan expressly to promote the cooperation of “dynamic defense force”, according to Japan’s 2010 National Defense Program Outline “idea, is to pay special attention to mobility and rapid response capability of the forces to prevent “terrorist attacks” and “external forces invaded and occupied the Islands.” The Island wins exercises main idea is Tinian Chinese army occupied the U.S. military and the Japanese Self-Defense Force joint recapture the island. The drills include: transport and maneuver expand joint air defense operations fleet attack, base facilities defense, island landing operations. The above drills projects are islands offensive and defensive combat basic and most useful content.

the wins Island battle, the United States and Japan has been evolved by the historical enemies now mentoring

during World War II, the U.S. military in the Pacific theater implementation strategy counterattack process from Japanese hands, large and small islands one by one and took back a harsh lesson to the stubborn Japanese forces, also paid a high price.

U.S. military landing operations can be described as battle-hardened, landing operations, the U.S. military can be considered experts worldwide. Even in the moment, sea and air combat capability of the armed forces have been greatly developed, to seize the island combat still kind of operation strategist lot of thought. Because, in the open sea, as a small place island space is very narrow, almost no room for maneuver forces on the island, both offensive party or defensive party had no chance of retreat.

the exercise although the U.S. military, the Japan GSDF must be holding the mentality of the students, to ask for advice to the U.S. Marine Corps. Japanese side sent the general company of about 40 people to participate in, basic belong to observe and learn, and the U.S. military dispatched about 1,000 troops, is the actual drill. U.S. military air and maritime warfare theory is also based on the island as an important cornerstone of the visible U.S. military also happy this island combat drills.

look at the United States and Japan won the island exercises need less care about the temporary gains and losses, a little more than look to the future magnanimity

vigorously rendering

for Japan United won the island simply considered too direct response to military exercises, are inevitably the middle of their wants.

international disputes, military means usually a last resort, but in actual operation, the party involved in the game often using rhetoric deterrence, to show off the use of force and other means to force the other side into submission, in order to achieve its “no war the purpose of the enemy’s military. Exercise itself with a strong deterrent and political activities, the point is also very distinctive. Asia-Pacific is becoming the world’s most dynamic economy and a lot of regional hotspots, and the future wrestling will be more frequent.

should see the islands, Japan showed impatience with its domestic politics are inseparable, the right-wing forces to incite nationalist sentiments and create trouble, the purpose is to gain political benefits. Look at the world today, a time when more than one big country leadership of general critical moment, many countries face the dual pressures of the inside and outside, the decision-making in the face of the changing situation of the outside world can not fail to take into account the internal reaction.

In fact, in maintaining the stability of the situation of the Diaoyu Islands, as a great power, the United States, Japan Tripartite not without some tacit agreement not want here and on the outbreak of a conflict and even war. It can be seen from a military exercise in the choice of location. Just think, if the military exercise site selection in the vicinity of the disputed islands, it could lead to the intensification of the situation so that even the United States is difficult to control.

adhere primary ownership, putting aside disputes and jointly develop “still is a long-term plan to solve the issue of the Diaoyu Islands and other islands. Think globally, island disputes in recent years, almost did not simply rely on the use of force to get the final solution, including the Falklands. Deng Xiaoping’s “primary ownership, shelve disputes and jointly develop” strategic essentially reflects a reality of the future-oriented attitude. The face of the island dispute, we can not be reckless to seek temporary Yong can not see each other Guam military exercise on the soldiers sent to the Diaoyu Islands, and can not be deterred confused and lost their main direction to enhance the rise of great powers of concentration to see the final solve the problem or have to rely on a combination of strengths.

In fact, the island contention Go ko very similar. In the face of the Diaoyu Islands who landed on the island, Ishihara reckless move also means that both sides mention robbery.

can not be ignored, however, is often the loser desperately looking for robbery, but the dominance instead to avoid robbery because ko to exist variables: loser may take advantage of robbery to turn defeat into victory, and The dominant party also may robbery ruin Bureau. When faced each other provocative when, whether the tit-for-tat, you need to judge in a calm and sober situation.

in island dispute issues, encountered each other aggressive is not necessarily a bad thing, because the crisis behind or contains opportunities.
