Japan's Defense Ministry said on May 29 it will dispatch four JSDF personnel to a NATO command in Germany that coordinates training and equipment support for Ukraine. The team — two from the Ground Self-Defense Force, one each from the Maritime and Air Self-Defense Forces — will begin duties on June 1 and be posted for one year at a US base in Wiesbaden.
