Have Tokyo sent troops to serve as peacekeeper?
Remember, Japan (and Germany) lost WWII. As a consequence of WWII, Japan (and Germany to a certain extent) have not been allowed to possess an Army, Navy, nor Air Force & Japan is not allowed to fight wars anymore. The US imposed this law on Japan during the US occupation immediately following the war (Germany received some restrictions also). Japan does possess military forces but they are for self defense only. Thusly, they are called the Japanese Self Defense Forces. Japan has sent SUPPORT units from their self defense forces over-seas for peacekeeping purposes: but they leave their tanks, jets, and artillery at home.

Why doesn't Japan have an army?
Under the rules of occupation in 1945, Japan was ordered to comply with US/Allied restrictions: War is illegal for Japan to engage in; other than self defense. That is why the Armed Forces of Japan are now called "SELF DEFENSE FORCES." Actually it is simply a NAME CHANGE; The Self Defense Air Force can still fight; the Self Defense Ground Force can still fight; and the Maritime Self Defense Force has warships. Added to the NAME CHANGE is Japan's Law (Ordered by the Occupation Forces): These Forces CANNOT engage in "Combat" (other than in self-defense); such as Operation Desert Storm in January to February 1991. Japan could send NON-COMBAT units to Iraq, but not Fighter Planes, tanks, Infantrymen, and Warships. They could send Engineer Units, Medical Units, Administrative Support Units, Transportation Units, etc. These restrictions were similar to that applied to Germany after WW1. Germany was not allowed a Large Army, Air Force, or Navy (especially submarines). Only enough armed forces to defend themselves. However, history has shown that Germany got around these restrictions, as they did re-arm and end up fighting in WW2.
