The International Peace Cooperation Activities Training Unit is the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces's training unit to prepare JGSDF soldiers by training them in scenarios that would require the mobilization of JGSDF forces in other countries. It is based in the JGSDF's Camp Komakado in Shizuoka Prefecture.
The IPCATng aims to have 240 soldiers graduate from the unit's training program annually.
Colonel Karube says training with the IPCATng is an "important point is to verify whether the training now being conducted can really be useful in theaters of activity overseas and to develop unified know-how for personnel education."
The unit has invited lecturers from NGOs and universities to participate in IPCATng seminars.
