The Japanese government has issued a new National Defense Programme Outline (NDPO) on 10 December 2004 that will determine the path of Japan's defense policy and capabilities for the next decade. The document marks a significant departure from traditional Japanese defense concepts, which focused on the protection of national territory, and emphasizes improvements to the Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF) in order to deal with various emergences.
