Implementing Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations Diplomatically and Lawfully in Southeast and East Asia

Abstract

To employ Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO), US national leaders must first use non-military instruments of diplomacy and law. Diplomatic efforts to establish a streamlined legal framework for increased defense cooperation with potential host nations will be key in furthering EABO in partner countries. The treaty/agreement process is complicated, time consuming, and involves several elements. The time to pursue EABO is now because if the United States waits until after hostilities commence, seizing ground for EABs will cost lives and resources. The DOS and DOD should rigorously pursue these matters first with treaty allies, while concurrently engaging likely partners.
