Japan Disaster Relief Team; JDR
Abbreviation of 国際緊急援助隊 (Kokusai Kinkyū Enjotai). Refers specifically to Japan's international disaster relief team. The glosses 'Japan International Cooperation Agency' and 'JICA' are likely errors; JICA is a separate organization. The correct expansion is 国際緊急援助隊, and the English equivalent is Japan Disaster Relief Team (JDR).
