The Japan Self-Defense Forces were established on July 1st 1954. Initially, they held only a defensive mandate, but over time they began participating in international operations (typically UN peacekeeping operations) and providing assistance to their allies. The Self-Defense Forces are also deployed to assist during major natural disasters, such as the earthquakes of 1995 and 2011.

Where: Japan > Bluewater fleet / Aviation > Premium vehicles.
- Both vehicles can only be purchased during the event.
IJN Kiyoshimo (rank III) for 2,440 Golden Eagles
- IJN Kiyoshimo lacks armor-piercing shells, making it better suited for a support role. It is well-equipped for this task, boasting secondary-caliber guns capable of fending off both boats and aircraft. Against larger targets, it can launch powerful Type 93 610 mm torpedoes, ensuring they don’t get too comfortable either!
J2M4 Kai (rank IV) for 1,925 Golden Eagles
- The J2M4 Kai features improved speed and a higher rate of climb compared to earlier versions of the Raiden, thanks to the installation of a new 1,854-horsepower engine. It is armed with four 20 mm autocannons and can carry two 60 kg high-explosive bombs into combat.
