Defence policy

Kozakura's lack of strategic depth is a serious concern for Kozakuran defence planners. In response the lack of territory the military could buy time, it has instead decided to place military assets and major offensive capability overseas.

In the early 2000s, Admiral Kazunari Mitsuhide, the former Head of Operational Capability under the administration of Shogun Koji Yamauchi signed numerous defence agreements with partner nations willing to host Kozakuran troops.

The document signed by Admiral Mitsuhide is officially known as Operational Doctrine 144, commonly known as Sai teiku (再テイク, The Retaking). The document requires "the majority of its Expeditionary, Air Combat, Mechanised, and Armoured Capabilities" of the Kozakuran Armed Forces to be stationed on strategic positions overseas in order to prevent their loss in an event of total war.

As a result of the doctrine, what is positioned in Kozakura are light defence oriented units specializing in Urban Warfare. Under wartime conditions, defence units in Kozakura need to buy time for the Kozakuran counteroffensive formations to organize in their overseas positions and return with overwhelming force and with allies if possible.
