Members of the ROK Headquarters Intelligence Detachment. This unit was formed to conduct covert operations inside the DPRK during the Cold War. Bit of a controversial unit because most of the guys in it had no idea what the unit was about and once you were in, you couldn't leave. Training was done on a small island off the coast of South Korea and once there trainees would undergo a brutal regimen of strenuous PT, language courses (the Norks speak a different dialect), and survival skills. Many trainees committed suicide, and if by some miracle you survived to the end of your service your part in the unit was not acknowledged. If I recall there's a lot of veterans of this unit who were rather pissed about that.

From what little info I can find on Cold War Jap doctrine, they expected the Soviets to invade from the North, reaching Hokkaido, their Northernmost island, first.
So, they placed and shaped their defenses, tactics, and forces entirely on the Northern region, and their basic plan was to throw everything they had there to stave off the Soviets until the U.S. could relieve them.

I have quite a few JSDF pics, mostly infantry, some trucks, tanks, helicopters, and planes mixed in there too.
Sadly no good sources, it's mostly just what I've been able to find from random google image searches, and going off links I find based off the images.

As for the invasion of Japan, I have no clue. I imagine they had plans for the invasion of everywhere, but I don't know what strategic advantage the Soviets would get from invading Japan. Perhaps to use it as a staging area for a U.S. Pacific invasion?

Have nothing to add, but very cool thread.

Fun fact: their first camouflage pattern, Type 1 "Fang" as seen here, was designed specifically for Hokkaido, and was woefully conspicuous everywhere south of it, which was the rest of Japan.
Goes to show how serious they were about their predictions and protection of the Northern region.

While most of Japan enjoys humid, occasionally tropic weather, Hokkaido is volcanic, mountainous, and icy.
Its vegetation is not as vivid as it must survive the frigid fall/winter seasons, its forests mostly deciduous, and the Northernmost portion of it is a taiga.
