What is “Nankai Rescue 2024”?
“Nankai Rescue 2024” is the largest disaster response training exercise conducted by the JGSDF’s (Japan Ground Self-Defense Force) Middle Army. It is aimed at improving disaster response capabilities while sharing training outcomes with local governments to enhance post-disaster measures. The exercise is conducted in anticipation of a potential massive Nankai Trough earthquake.

The training took place from January 13 to January 17, 2025, focusing on the first 72 hours after a disaster in isolated areas—a critical period for emergency response. Various drills were conducted, with participation from the Ground, Maritime, and Air Self-Defense Forces, as well as government agencies beyond the Ministry of Defense, local municipalities, private companies, organizations, and disaster prevention experts.
