Opening the Strategic Gateway: How an Australian-Indonesian Combined Amphibious Exercise Program Will Achieve Strategic Defense Objectives

Abstract

2018 marked a high point in Australian-Indonesian relations with the signing of a Joint Declaration on a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP). The CSP acknowledges that Australia and Indonesia share strategic objectives and, therefore, closer cooperation is in the best interests of both nations. From a purely defense perspective, the CSP creates a common purpose that is best supported through a combined amphibious exercise program that allows the ADF greater strategic access to Asia and the TNI enhanced maritime capability.
