USMC NMESIS and MADIS deployed to Yonaguni for distributed island defense drill

The post describes first-time deployment of USMC ground-based NMESIS anti-ship missiles and MADIS air defense to Yonaguni Island during Exercise Keen Sword, emphasizing multi-island, land-based sea-denial operations near Taiwan. While the systems themselves are known, the novelty is their forward, distributed employment from remote islands as part of Marine Littoral Regiment force-design doctrine.
