1 What is the role of SDF(Self Defense Force)? 2 Has the role changed in the last 5-10 years?

I post on May 9, 2006 in fact.
That is my homework of English lesson.
:1 The role of SDF is to defend Japan against attack.
2 Yes, it has changed.
In the past, 'attack' meant just to attack the Japanese territory. But now, it implies to attack on area near Japan. Because new guidelines for cooperation with American forces has presented.
And another point has also changed. When there is disaster such like earthquake, tsunami and big typhoon, SDF operates formally. They had acted for Hanshin earthquake specially. The directing network has been improved after Hanshin.
