自衛 (じえい) is a Japanese word composed of two kanji: 自 (ji) which means "self" or "auto" and 衛 (ei) which means "defense" or "protection". Together, they form the term "ji-ei" which can be translated as "self-defense" or "self-protection". The word is often used to refer to the Japan Self-Defense Forces (自衛隊, Jieitai), which are the country's military forces.
