■ About the Mine Warfare Group... The Mine Warfare Group specializes in mine warfare and amphibious operations. Historically, it was responsible for mine clearance in Japanese coastal waters after World War II, removing approximately 65,700 mines to ensure safe maritime traffic. In response to changing international circumstances, it was also tasked with amphibious operations starting in August 2013. During the Korean War in 1950, it was dispatched to remove mines laid during the conflict, and after the Gulf War in 1991, it was deployed overseas for mine clearance in the Persian Gulf as Japan’s first international contribution.
