Army of Tokyo Bay

The Japanese Army of Tokyo Bay was formed 19 June 1945, under the 12th area army as part of the last desperate defense effort by the Empire of Japan to deter possible landings of Allied forces in Kantō region. The Army of Tokyo Bay was based in Tateyama, Chiba. It consisted mostly of poorly trained reservists, conscripted students and Volunteer Fighting Corps (Kokumin Giyū Sentōtai) home guard militia. It was demobilized at the Surrender of Japan on August 15, 1945, without having seen combat. ==References and notes==
