Best Answer

Japan has a US originally enforced (via GEN MacArther during WW2 occupation) constitution that has OUTLAWED war. Consequently, Japan is not allowed to have an Army, Navy or Air Force; as those imply "war." But Japan does have the right to defend itself; Therefore Japan does have a Land/Ground "Self-Defense Force"; a "Maritime Self Defense Force" and a "Air Self Defense Force." During any crisis in the Southwest Asia regions such as the Persian Gulf areas, Japan has supplied (WHEN REQUESTED) supportive assistance to include repair expertise/facilities/parts/maintenance or medical. Primarily for US forces, as again, from the WWII occupation days, that's what the US used Japan for...repair facilities, which really got going during the Korean War (1950-1953). Example: Toyota got their new start (after being nearly destroyed in WWII) from building US Army trucks and jeeps for the Korean War. Be advised: The US has been involved in several Persian Gulf Wars; which one concerns your question? 1. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) 2. Operation Desert Storm (Jan/Feb '91) 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- )

What did japan do during the Persian gulf war?

provided $13 billion to help the anti-Iraq coalition but sent no troops (A+)


During the Persian gulf war japan did?

{ Provided 13 Billion } to help...Japan contributed medical personnel and medical supplies to the Gulf Coalition. The Constitution of Japan, written by the US after World War 2, forbade Japan from acting militarily except in the direct defense of the Japanese Islands. [FYI, that is also why Japanese forces did not participate in Korea or Vietnam.] The armed forces of Japan are intended ONLY for the defense of Japan, exactly as the US wanted it in 1945. As Japan was a major consumer of oil from the Persian Gulf, some critics urged Japanese military participation in the Gulf War, but Japan steadfastly refused to violate their constitution.
