The '''1st Airborne Brigade''' ([[Japanische Sprache|Japanisch]]: {{lang|ja|第1空挺団}} ''Dai-ichi Kūtei-dan''), also known as the '''Narashino Airborne Brigade''', is stationed in the [[Narashino]] Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces (JGSDF) Base in [[Funabashi]], [[Chiba Prefecture]]. It is part of the Eastern Army in the [[Japan Ground Self-Defense Force|Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force]]. 

The Brigade serves as Japan's elite [[paratrooper]] unit. Under the Brigade is the [[Guide Unit]], serving as its NEO (''Non-combatant Evacuation Operations'') unit. Currently, they are attached to current homeland defense and international combat operations under the [[Central Readiness Force]].

The unit is being likened similarly to the [[Western Army Infantry Regiment]] and the recently established Japanese Special Operations Group, since these units are some of Japan's only Special Forces units with an offensive capability as some of Japan's other [[Special Forces]] units are assigned to CT or defensive duties.

==Geschichte==

After the end of [[World War II]] and the start of the [[Cold War]], American occupation forces had allowed the temporary formation of an airborne party from within the ranks of the JGSDF as tensions continued to increase between the [[United States]] and the former [[Soviet Union]] in 1955. In 1958, the Airborne Brigade's first platoon was formed after [[Hayao Kinugasa]] was made the first commander of the unit. It continued to increase in numbers as ranger and free-fall training were added in 1962 and 1969. An additional armed transport unit was established in 1973. 

In 1985, the 1st Airborne Brigade was involved in rescue operations of the downed [[Japan Airlines Flight 123]] in the ridges of [[Mount Takamagahara]] in the [[Gunma Prefecture]], marking the first time that the Brigade was seen in the public eye. Later on, they were also deployed in [[Yamanashi Prefecture]] for civil operations in 1995.

The unit was in a small controversy in 2000 when the [[Ministry of Defense (Japan)|Defense Agency]] announced that a small unit would be formed in order to be dispatched in foreign soil to rescue stranded Japanese and foreign nationals. The plan had caused tensions with most of the Asian countries like [[China]], [[Taiwan]] and [[South Korea]], though this issue was never brought up to international attention.

In 2003, the Special Operations Group was established as an anti-guerilla/terrorist unit alongside the Western Army Infantry Regiment embedded in the Brigade, but was separated in 2004 and placed under the control of the Defense Agency via the JGSDF like most of the JSDF's [[Special forces]] units.

1st Airborne Brigade paratroopers are involved in [[Iraq]] as the Brigade has started to rotate ground personnel as part of the Japanese government's commitment to Iraq, though they could be withdrawn from Iraqi soil anytime before the end of 2006. They have been withdrawn alongside the bulk of the Japanese Iraqi Reconstruction Support Group in the middle of 2006. The brigade was added to the [[Central Readiness Force]] in [[March 28]], [[2007]].

==Deployment==
===Local===
*1st Airborne Brigade paratroopers have only been seen in action through annual new year JSDF exhibition shows in Narashino.

===Overseas===
*The Brigade has scheduled 170 paratroopers to be sent into Samawa as part of the JGSDF's commitment in [[Iraq]]. All of them have been withdrawn

==Miscellaneous==
*A scandal had emerged inside the unit when a 38-year old 1st Airborne Brigade paratrooper was arrested in Inzai, Chiba Prefecture for shoplifting. He admitted to officers that he did it to prove that he was serious in not going to Iraq. When JGSDF officials heard about this, they told press officials that they require the consent of the troopers and their relatives. Otherwise, they would not be deployed. The Iraq deployment has caused a national debate in Japan, and reaching a new public consensus is necessary for the military to develop a modern role and structure.<ref> [http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2006/feb/23/yehey/top_stories/20060223top6.html "Japanese soldier finds way to evade Iraqi duty"], ''[[Manila Times]]'', [[October 19]], [[2006]]</ref>
