US to Establish Temporary Military Bases in Japan for Taiwan Contingency

The United States is reportedly set to establish temporary military bases in Japanโ€™s Nansei island chain, strategically positioning missile units in anticipation of a possible contingency involving Taiwan. Citing anonymous sources, Kyodo News revealed that the 12th Marine Littoral Regiment, currently stationed in Okinawa, will be deployed across the island chain that stretches southwest from Kyushu to Taiwan.

The 12th Marine Littoral Regiment is one of two specialized regiments within the US Marine Corps, specifically designed for flexible operations in maritime settings. Equipped with a range of amphibious platforms, connectors, and boats, these regiments focus on maneuverability and stealth, allowing them to navigate enemy defenses effectively.

In a significant development, the first joint operation plan between the US and Japan is set to be formalized in December, which will include the newly proposed deployment of the regiment. The Japan Self Defense Forces will play a critical role by providing logistical support, such as fuel and ammunition supplies, to ensure the smooth functioning of the military unit.

In tandem with these developments, Japan is advancing its military capabilities. Last year, Tokyo approved the development of a cruise missile system intended to target warships moving towards Japanese territory. This indigenous missile is designed to carry conventional warheads, with enhanced capabilities that include reconnaissance and radar jamming features for greater targeting accuracy. Additionally, Japan is planning to deploy hundreds of one-way attack drones to reinforce the defense of its islands.

Beyond Japan, the US Army is also preparing to deploy long-range fire units of its Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF) in the Philippines, aimed at bolstering defenses against potential threats related to Taiwan. The MDTF is tailored for operations across multiple domains, including air, land, sea, space, cyber, and information. If this deployment is confirmed, it would mark a significant shift from the Philippinesโ€™ earlier policy of not allowing US bases for offensive purposes. Notably, the Philippine government had previously expanded its agreement with the US military, increasing the number of accessible bases from five to nine.

These military moves signify a strategic collaboration between the US and Japan, alongside a growing military partnership with the Philippines, all focused on addressing regional security challenges amidst escalating tensions surrounding Taiwan.
