The Cabinet on Tuesday approved a six-month extension of Japan's logistic support for antiterror operations led by the United States.
In line with the support, which involves several nations, the government will dispatch an amphibious vessel to transport Thai forces to Qatar. Equipment such as bulldozers will also be moved from Thailand, according to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuo Fukuda.
This is to be a single operation carried out between Dec. 31 and March 31.
