Wartime Mission
The Kempeitai was responsible for the following:
- Travel permits
- Labor recruitment
- Counterintelligence and counter-propaganda (run by the Tokko-Kempeitai as 'anti-ideological work')
- Supply requisitioning and rationing
- Psychological operations and propaganda
- Rear area security
By 1944, despite the obvious tide of war, the kempeitai were arresting people for antiwar sentiment and defeatism.
