US, Japan conduct first joint military drills after Japan’s new security law takes effect
The US military and Japan's Self-Defense Forces have began a 13-day joint military exercise on Oct 30. It's their first since Japan's new security law took effect in March. The new law has aroused controversy as it expands the nation's military role. Japan has sent some 25,000 personnel, 20 vessels and as many as 260 jets. The Americans are deploying about 11,000 soldiers. The drills are taking place at sites throughout mainland Japan and Okinawa, and also the Northern Mariana Islands.
