IN early December 2021, Japan’s Self-Defence Force joined the US armed forces for Resolute Dragon 2021, which the US Marines called the “largest bilateral training exercise of the year.”

Resolute Dragon 2022 followed the resumption, in September, of trilateral military drills off the Korean peninsula by Japan, South Korea and the US; these drills had been suspended as the former South Korean government attempted a policy of rapprochement with North Korea.
