The oldest special force in JGSDF.

Mistakes

JSDF has not used M72LAW. They has used M20A1B1 for 1990s.


And JGSDF has used Carl Gustaf M2 since 1980.

JGSDF tried to develop "試製66mmてき弾銃(Prototype 66mm grenade gun)", Made-in-Japan-anti-tank weapon. but this project is failed.

M67 has not used by JGSDF.

JGSDF has used M18/M20.

PzF3 has been used since 1992 in JGSDF.

Soldier with JGSDF Type1 camo have PzF3.

CHU-MAT is SALH. Fixed!!!!!!

HUDO-REN(普通科教導連隊) is Called "HUKYO-REN"　in Japan.

and HUKYO-REN is mechnized infantry like PANZERGRENADIERE .

I think TO-SENKYO is fit as light infantry role.
