Reports from media outlets based on Taiwan have reported that the Japanese military leadership has been highly unsettled, to the point of being “freaked out” in the exact words used in one report, by the results of two engagements between Chinese J-15B and Japanese F-15 fighters on December 6.

The Marines appear to have been assigned to the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, which is currently deployed to the Caribbean as part of Operation Southern Spear, the Pentagon’s stated mission to dismantle drug cartels.
