1 agos 1950 anni - National Police Reserve

Descrizione:

On the outbreak of the Korean War, many units of the United States Armed Forces stationed in Japan are transferred to South Korea for combat, and Japan is perceived as lacking defenses. Encouraged by the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers, the Japanese government authorizes the establishment of NPR, consisting of 75,000 men equipped with light infantry weapons. Personal affairs of the NPR is taken charge of by GHQ's Government Section (GS) under Brigadier General Courtney Whitney while the efforts to establish and train the force is made by Civil Affairs Section Annex (CASA) under Major General Whitfield P. Shepard.
Given the legal status of the police, the National Police Reserve is tasked with the duty to maintain public security under special conditions according to the National Police Reserve Order (Cabinet Order No. 260 1950), while in terms of unit formation and equipment, it is a de facto military force modeled after the United States Army.
