After World War II, Japan adopted a pacifist constitution, specifically Article 9, which renounces war and prohibits the maintenance of military forces for warfare. Instead of a traditional military, Japan established the Self-Defense Forces (SDF) in 1954, which are primarily tasked with defense and disaster response. While the SDF is not considered an army in the conventional sense, it operates with significant capabilities, including air, land, and maritime forces, and Japan remains a close ally of the United States for security purposes.
