☆ U.S. eyes change to military command in Japan as China threat looms: Reuters
  + stars: | 2024-03-26 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will agree next month to tighter military cooperation, including talks on the biggest potential change to Washington's East Asia command structure in decades, two sources said. Kishida wants to establish the joint command headquarters before the end of March 2025. Tokyo has said it has "serious concern" over China's growing military power and the threat it poses Taiwan, just over 100 km (62 miles) from Japanese territory. A four-star commander — the highest peacetime rank in any of the U.S. service branches — would match the rank of the Japanese counterpart in the new headquarters. A U.S. officer of that rank might lay the groundwork for a future unified Japanese-U.S. command, experts say.

Toyko CNN —Japan says it is prepared to shoot down a North Korean spy satellite rocket if it needs to. In a statement released by the Ministry of Defense, Hamada did not rule out shooting down the rocket used to launch the satellite. The Japanese military will deploy ground-based Patriot Advanced Capability-3 interceptor missiles and Aegis-equipped destroyer warships carrying sea-based Standard Missile-3 interceptor projectiles, the statement added. North Korean state media KCNA reported on Wednesday that its leader Kim Jong Un had ordered officials to prepare to launch the country’s first military reconnaissance satellite. North Korea claimed as early as last December that it had conducted an “important final stage test” for the development of a spy satellite.
