Japan’s parliament has approved the government's new agreement with the United States that will see Tokyo spending in excess of $8 billion for hosting U.S. troops.
The 1.05 trillion yen host nation support budget covers the purchase of advanced arsenals used in their joint military exercises, as well as utilities and facilities used by the U.S. troops and their Japanese employees working on American bases in the country through March 2027.
The upcoming five-year budget includes a new funding category of up to 20 billion yen for the purchase of advanced virtual combat training systems for joint exercises between the two forces. The roughly 200 billion yen for the first year is included in the fiscal 2022 national defense budget — a record 5.4 trillion yen — beginning in April.Japan’s government now describes the host-nation support budget as necessary for strengthening the alliance, rather than for “kindness” as it used to be considered.
