Safety Security Force
The Safety Security Force (Japanese: 警備隊, Hepburn: Kei Bitai; abbreviated SSF), also known as the Coastal Security Force, was an organization under the jurisdiction of the National Safety Agency, and existed from 1 August 1952 to 30 June 1954 in Japan. It was a maritime security agency established for the purpose of territorial waters security. It was the successor to the Maritime Safety Agency and the predecessor of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
According to Article 5, Paragraph 2 of the National Safety Agency Law (Law No. 265 of 1952), the National Safety Agency Secretary, Deputy Director, Secretariat and each bureau, Second Staff Supervision Department and Second Staff Chief were all stipulated to include units and other organizations under their supervision.
With the surrender of Japan on 2 September 1945, the Japanese army went through disarmament and was dissolved. In the Navy, the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff was dissolved, and the Ministry of the Navy, which was the military administration department, was reduced and reorganized into the 2nd Ministry of Demobilization, which took over some operations such as demobilization and route enlightenment. Furthermore, with the progress of demobilization, in 1946, it was integrated with the 1st Ministry of Demobilization (Army Ministry), and the Demobilization Agency (2nd Demobilization Agency), which is an external agency of the Cabinet, and later under the direct control of the Prime Minister's Office. After that, it became a part of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (Demobilization Bureau).
However, even after the war, the need to open the route for mines laid by both the US and Japanese forces during World War II was serious. For this reason, the Navy's minesweeping unit, which once stopped the minesweeping work and dismantled, but was immediately reorganized as the Minesweeping Division of the General Affairs Bureau of the 2nd Ministry of Demobilization on September 18, and the work was resumed. After that, it changed to the Minesweeper Division of the General Affairs Department of the 2nd Demobilization Agency and the Minesweeper Division of the Demobilization Agency.
On the other hand, as the deterioration of offshore security became more serious due to the demobilization of the Japanese Navy, in 1946, the Japan Coast Guard became a law enforcement agency under the Ministry of Transport, incorporating these former Navy-derived sweeping units. It was installed. However, at the time of its establishment, in response to instructions from the GHQ Civil Affairs Bureau in consideration of the backlash from the Far Eastern Commission against the armed Japan Coast Guard ships, strict restrictions were imposed on displacement, armament, and speed in order to clearly indicate that the patrol boat was not for military use.
In October 1950, after receiving an informal consultation regarding the Tacoma-class frigate (PF) loan from the US Far East fleet, former Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura, former Admiral Zenshiro Hoshina, and former Demobilization Agency Second Rehabilitation Bureau, an informal study of the Navy's revival was undertaken, centered on Navy personnel. On 19 October 1951, at a meeting between Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida and General Matthew Ridgway, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP), 18 frigates (PF) and 50 landing support crafts (LSSL) were proposed. The lending proposal was officially made, and Prime Minister Yoshida accepted it on the spot. Then, in order to accept these vessels and establish an operation system, the Y Committee was set up as a secret organization under the direct control of the Cabinet and examined it.
The members of the Y Committee were appointed by former Navy personnel and the Japan Coast Guard Officer, and were in close cooperation with the US side. As a result of the examination by the Y Committee, these vessels will be centrally operated by a dedicated department set up within the Japan Coast Guard, separately from other patrol vessels, just before the San Francisco Peace Treaty came into effect. On 26 April 1952, the Coast Guard was established at the Japan Coast Guard.
On 1 August, the National Safety Agency was established as an external agency of the Prime Minister's Office. The Coastal Safety Force was changed to the Coastal Security Force, and the National Police Reserve was changed to the National Safety Forces and integrated into the agency. Along with this, the Coastal Safety Force General Supervision Department was changed to the Second Staff Supervision Department, and two district units (Yokosuka District Force and Maizuru District Force) were newly formed on the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan side, respectively. Also, on the same day, the Japan Coast Guard's route enlightenment work was transferred to the Coastal Security Force along with the minesweeper and its personnel.
