[This documentary focuses on large-scale joint training between Japan and the United States, held at one of the world's largest military training grounds, located in the desert region of California, USA. It closely follows the experience of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force tank units as they engage in "military realities."
At this massive training site, which is large enough to fit the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, there is a simulated "city" reminiscent of the Middle East. Here, combat training for "hybrid warfare," where local residents and regular military forces intermingle, takes place. Last year, the JGSDF tank units participated in an unprecedented large-scale Japan-US joint training exercise at this site. The documentary captures their immersion in realistic, combat-like training at a time when Japan's national security situation is undergoing significant changes.]
