A total of 45,000 members of the Self-Defense Forces and U.S. military participated in the Keen Sword joint military exercises.

A primary aim of the drills was a simulated response to a military encounter off Taiwan .

Keen Sword has been held since 1986 at about two-year intervals.

The larger scale of the exercise means more opportunity for enemy forces to acquire intelligence.
