During WWII Japan never seemed to have a shortage of manpower, yet closer inspection shows factory delays, and conscription issues mixed in with general issues in garrison forces.

Now I was thinking about the garrison issues in the Philippines and China. Many Japanese military stressed that men trained to the standard combat level were kept back to hold down regions while the front needed every man possible.

WI Japan tried to deal with such an issue by making use of its large Korean population? Could the Japanese see use in having Koreans take on a more active role with in the Empire?
