Environmental destructions caused by military activities ("military-related environmental problems"), though these cause serious damages, don't have taken up as academic research subject. So military-related environmental problems even the actual condition on damages has been left. As a result of this the responsibility on the occurrence of damages has not been demonstrated and effective countermeasures have not been adopted. As I think knowing the history on military-related environmental problems will lead to trace the cause on damages and to demonstrate responsibility, I study about this in this paper. To demonstrate above I analyze the documents on Yokota Air Base pollution that disclosed by U. S. force. And I put together military base pollution problem from view of a phenomenon. In addition I focus on a political-economics aspect and demonstrate how military-industrial complex has participated in the occurrence or military base pollution problem. In this paper I demonstrate below. First by that military-industrial complex that has had strong influence after World War II has developed environment-destructive military technology, environment has been destructed in various areas by military activities. The cause on occurrence of military base pollution is that environment doesn't restore any more by new weapons and pollution is accumulated. Second after military base pollution came to light through the end of the Cold War military-industrial complex was not broken up and exists in other form. And military-industrial complex has developed weapons that draw military-related environmental problems even after the end of the Cold War. Third military expenditures that reduce after the end of the Cold War increase after "9・11". By U. S. force transformation not only military activities that draw military base pollution are strengthened but also the resources that save by base closures inject into the countermeasures against terrorism. The transformation after the end of the Cold War is proceeded not peaceful world but to a new dimension on war. Therefore wars and military activities don't reduce. By contraries after "9・11" the world affairs has been instability. Military technology has been sophisticated and military-industrial complex has developed environment-destructive weapons. To get rid of this situation we must realize the century that respect of peace and environment preservation that shoot for disarmament and conversion.
