Our company has constructed the Reserve Service and Management System (ReSMS), which supports the mobilization and educational assistance of reserve self-defense forces (Note) nationwide, utilizing Salesforce, to streamline operations for the Ministry of Defense. The system commenced operations in April 2026.
This system enables the efficient and centralized management of operations related to the mobilization and educational support of reserve self-defense forces, contributing to the smooth and rapid operation of the reserve self-defense force system within the Ministry of Defense.
Overview
Reserve self-defense forces are mobilized during disasters or national emergencies to engage in duties such as garrison security and disaster relief as self-defense officials. Reserve self-defense forces are required to participate in a prescribed number of training days annually, according to their assigned job type. Previously, scheduling these training sessions (training attendance adjustments) was done via mail and phone, which posed a challenge as mobilization personnel spent a significant amount of time on procedures such as registration. To solve these issues, our company collaborated with the Ministry of Defense to build and introduce this system.
Through this system, reserve self-defense forces can now make training reservations and conduct e-learning via their smartphones. Furthermore, administrators can centrally manage mobilization tasks, training participation status, and educational progress for reserve self-defense forces. For units accepting reserve self-defense force training, the system also facilitates the planning of training schedules and coordination with related departments for accommodation, significantly contributing to operational efficiency.
This not only improves training efficiency but also enables timely mobilization notifications for reserve self-defense forces in emergencies, contributing to prompt disaster relief and assistance.
Moving forward, our company will continue to support the efficient and rapid operation of the reserve self-defense force system at the Ministry of Defense through functional improvements and operation of this system, thereby contributing to Japan's national security.
