空自、与那国島に移動警戒隊 レーダー網強化、20人常駐

 航空自衛隊は31日、日本最西端の沖縄県・与那国島に4月1日から移動警戒隊を常駐させると発表した。移動式警戒管制レーダーで航空機の飛行情報などを収集する部隊で、活動を強める中国の動向を念頭に、南西諸島の防衛体制強化を狙う。

Japan to Station Mobile Radar Unit on Westernmost Island


Japan's Air Self-Defense Force said Thursday that it will station a mobile radar unit on a permanent basis on the country's westernmost island from Friday.
   The move is part of the strengthening of the defense of its southwestern islands at a time when China is increasing activities around there.
   About 20 personnel will be sent to Yonaguni Island in Okinawa prefecture from an ASDF base on Miyako Island in the same prefecture.
   The ASDF has been deploying units to Yonaguni irregularly until now.
   On the island, meanwhile, the Defense Ministry set up a Ground SDF base with a coastal surveillance unit of some 160 personnel in 2016. It also plans to deploy an electronic warfare unit as early as fiscal 2023.
