The navy is to shift its focus away from the anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability of the Cold War era, creating a structure aimed at defending islands, monitoring and responding to ballistic missiles, and combating illegal spy ship activities. The air force is to continue its monitoring activities in neighboring airspace and maintain response readiness against air attack, while modifying invasion response tactics somewhat as the likelihood of an attack from the air diminishes.
海军要创建一套机制，把重心从冷战时期的反潜艇战（ASW）职能，转移到保卫各个海岛，监督弹道导弹并做出回应，以及防止非法的间谍活动上。空军要继续监督领空，保持随时回击空中袭击的状态，同时调整反侵略策略，因为空袭的可能性已减小。
