Japan already has one airborne brigade, a battalion-sized special forces group, and is working on a rapid-reaction regiment equipped with air-transportable armored vehicles. If the provocation is small, such as “armed fishermen” planting a flag on an island, the Japanese coast guard-backed if needed by Japanese soldiers-can deal with it.
Assuming the Japanese navy and air force can secure control of the waters around an island, Japanese ground troops can retake it.
Japanese troops armed with antiship missiles can foil a Chinese landing, or fight a delaying action to render the island unusable until help arrives.
