Japan 2300

The Japanese armed forces (Japanese Defense Forces) are broken into the Japanese Imperial Defense Force (IDF) in charge of the home islands; the Colonial Defense Force (CDF) for external colonies; and the Space Defense Force (SDF). After the debacle of the Miyazaki Incident, the Army was incorporated into the Marines, making it possible to politically deny that Japan had any land "army" for further combat on the territory of other nations. The Navy and Marines, on the other hand, were billed as being specifically designed for the defense of Japan. Within the Marine organization there are a number of units which would normally be in Army. In addition, while Pilipinas does not have a Navy, it does have a large, well-trained and well-equipped Army which serves, for all intents and purposes, as the Japanese Army.
