JAPAN and the United States are mulling a joint military drill to simulate retaking a remote island from foreign forces, amid a row between Tokyo and Beijing over the Diaoyu Islands.
The exercise, part of broader joint maneuvers to start in early November, would use an uninhabited island in Okinawa, southernmost Japan, Japanese news agencies reported.
The drill would involve Japanese and US troops making an amphibious and airborne landings using boats and helicopters, Kyodo said.
The exercise would reportedly use the uninhabited island of Irisunajima. The tiny island, used as a firing range for US forces, is also in the East China Sea but hundreds of kilometers from the Diaoyu chain.
