Japan is expanding its joint military exercises with the United States military.
The latest exercise will be held at Camp Pendleton, California, in June. The two countries have carried out joint exercises in the past, however this time it is different,
The drill would include many helicopters, three battleships and one support vessel.
In fact, Japan's new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has increased military spending for the first time in 11 year, amid tensions between Japan with China and North Korea.
According to the polls, Abe has the majority of public support for his policies.
Japan is becoming more proactive militarily, particularly under new Prime Minister Abe. This comes at a time that security concerns and tensions are mounting to unparalleled levels in East Asia.
The joint exercises between the U.S. military and Japan's Self-Defense Forces is very significant in military terms, and the direction they represent.
