USCINCPAC: Now and in the Future
Abstract
The United States Pacific Command is the oldest and geographically the largest of the unified commands. To cope with this, USPACOM is divided into four sub-unified commands and three component commands. It also has established a series of bilateral relationships and treaties. USPACOM has developed a strategy that is based on robust alliances and forward deployment. This strategy is built on the primary U.S. national security interest: a healthy and growing economy, a stable and secure world, strong alliances, the growth of democratic institutions and an open and free market system. The future of USPACOM is bright, but there are some problem areas that lie ahead. There are several changes or trends that indicate an emerging region. These trends include: economics, political independence, arms proliferation, Soviet reform, the perception of a decreasing threat and demographic changes. Considering these changing times, especially in light of Soviet reform, the Command and the Pacific Region are reason for focus. Things are moving in the right direction and USPACOM is well suited and prepared to maintain its place in the Asia- Pacific area.
