Currently, about 10,000 Japanese women participate in Japan Self Defense Force, which consists 4% of the entire SDF personnel.

They are actively performing their duties in SDF Air, Ground and Naval operations. Some of them are participating in UN peace-keeping and humanitarian missions overseas. They are very well-trained and their morale is very high.

Please refer to the English version of Japan Defense Agency web site.

I know they definitely do not go onboard ships. Never thought to ask that while I was stationed there!
