Multinational Training Opportunities in the Asia-Pacific
Abstract
The Asia-Pacific is emerging as a regional global challenge for many nations. These challenges transcend militarily to the United States (U.S.), its allies, and U.S. Asia-Pacific regional partners. Department of Defense Strategic Guidance envelops a need for increased combined training requirements, however, facing declining budgets and a new fiscal reality. The U.S. has limited facilities in the Asia-Pacific to support large scale multi-national land component force-on-force training including incorporation of air and naval combined arms support. In Europe, overtime, the U.S. has established the Joint Multinational Training Command (JMTC) with a resident Joint Multinational Combat Training Center (JMRC) in the European theater. Without a definitive equivalent of JMTC and JMRC in the Asia-Pacific, coupled with changes to the Defense Strategy, how should the U.S. approach establishing multinational training opportunities in the Asia-Pacific? This SRP examines possible ways of supporting multinational training to accomplish the end as stated in the Defense Strategy tied to limited means.
