Defense-related expenditures

Japanese: 防衛関係費 - ぼうえいかんけいひ

Military expenditure in Japan in the narrow sense. Postwar Japan's military expenditure began with postwar settlement expenses (later defense expenditures), and in 1950, the National Police Reserve, the predecessor of the Self-Defense Forces, was added, and from fiscal 1955, the two have been collectively called defense-related expenses. It consists of the Defense Agency (since January 2007, the Ministry of Defense), facility operation and related expenses (maintenance expenses for U.S. military bases in Japan), Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement grants, Defense Facilities Agency expenses, and National Defense Council expenses. It accounts for almost 6% of the expenditure budget. The 1976 National Defense Program Guidelines set a limit of 1% of GNP. However, as it was expected to exceed 1% in the 1987 budget, a new limit was introduced, the total amount method.

Japanese:

日本における狭義の軍事費。戦後日本の軍事費は終戦処理費（のち防衛支出金）に始まり，1950年自衛隊の前身である警察予備隊の創設以来その経費が加えられ，1955年度から両者を合わせて防衛関係費と呼称。その内容は防衛庁（2007年１月から防衛省）費，施設運営等関連諸費（在日米軍基地の維持費），相互防衛援助協定交付金，防衛施設庁費，国防会議費からなる。歳出予算のほぼ６％を占める。1976年の〈防衛計画の大綱〉ではGNP比１％以内という粋を設けた。しかし，1987年度の予算編成で１％を超える見通しとなったため，総額明示方式という新たな歯止めが導入された。
