The reason there is so much of a gap between the US and other nations militarily is partly because Japan hasn't militarized. The world's second largest economy is essentially only playing on the economics side of the gameboard and not the military side.

While Japan can't equal the US in military expenditures without spending 2.5 times what the US does relative to the size of it's economy it could tip the table a little especially in Asia.

However Japan is one of the greatest allies of the US and the US maintains a considerable military presence there anyway.

Economically, after Japan the next country is Germany. The German economy is less than 5x smaller than the US economy though. The US has many troops in Germany too.
