Apparently, there are multiple items to be changed. The most significant is the change of "Article 9." Article 9 prohibits full military. As it stands, current Japanese self-defense force can only operate in its territory purely for defensive operations. The change of Article 9 would allow Japan to conduct military operations outside of its territory, that is, offensive operations.
