Maritime Threats Workshop. Volume 09-04
Abstract
The United States and Republic of the Philippines strengthened their strategic partnership when representatives of the two countries co-hosted the Maritime Threats Workshop, held in Cebu, Republic of the Philippines on 26-30 July 2004. The workshop focused on promoting multilateral interoperability and cooperation on maritime and environmental issues that foster terrorism; identifying maritime and transnational threats; discussing solutions to these issues; developing maritime protection capabilities; encouraging military support to civil authority; facilitating international and interagency cooperation (to include NGO/IOs); and strengthening the bonds between the military and civilian organizations. The multilateral workshop is the fourth of a series of U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) Defense Environmental Cooperation Conferences. The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations & Environment), the USARPAC, and United States Army War College-Center for Strategic Leadership co-sponsored the workshop, which was hosted by the Republic of the Philippines Department of National Defense and conducted in coordination with The Reef Check Foundation, a UN recognized non-governmental organization (NGO). The workshop identified opportunities for regional defense security cooperation in responding to maritime and marine resource threats. This workshop was a follow-up to the December 2003 Defense Environmental and International Cooperation Conference held in Manila, Philippines. The Cebu workshop brought together military and civilian professionals from Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and United States including international academicians, governmental and military subject matter experts, and NGOs.
