A detailed analysis has been conducted on the cost of invading Japan, which would require a military buildup in the region, reconnaissance units, coordinating with allies, specialized equipment such as amphibious assault vehicles and landing craft and air support from helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The logistical expenses of supplying troops with necessities such as food and water, medical facilities to treat wounded personnel, intelligence gathering on enemy forces and capabilities, urban warfare training for troops, compensation for civilian casualties and rebuilding infrastructure would add significantly to the overall cost. Additionally, long-term occupation costs and international backlash could also add to the cost of the operation. Finally, there are moral implications associated with invading another country that should be taken into account when considering an invasion.
