    USCG Asian-Pacific-Islander Historical Chronology

    U.S. Coast Guard Historian’s Office Preserving Our History For Future Generations Asian Americans & the U.S. Coast Guard Historical Chronology 1853 U.S contact with Asian cultures came only as the nation’s borders expanded to the Pacific. The first documented case of an Asian man serving on board a Coast Guard asset took place in 1853, when the San Francisco-based cutter Argus rescued the lone survivor of the dismasted junk Yatha Maru, fed and clothed him, and enlisted him into the crew. The cutter’s commanding officer, Lieutenant William Pease, phonetically spelled this first Asian recruit’s name as “Dee-Yee- Noskee.” 1867 Cutter muster roles tell the rest of the story of Asian participation in the nineteenth century. Ethnically Asian names begin to appear on cutter muster rolls just after the Civil War. Expanded revenue cutter operations in the Pacific and the purchase of Alaska in 1867 presented an opportunity for more Chinese, Japanese and Filipino men to enter the rolls on West Coast cutters. As with other minorities, these men initially filled positions in food service or non-petty- officer enlisted rates. By the end of the century, virtually every Pacific-based cutter employed Asian crewmembers. 1879 Chiaio-Shung Soong emigrated from China to Boston as a teenager to work in his uncle’s teashop. Dissatisfied with this work, Soong enlisted on board the cutter Schuyler Colfax in 1879 and transferred to the North Carolina-based cutter Gallatin a year later. After his brief career in the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service, Soong attended Duke and Vanderbilt universities before returning to China as a missionary.

    9th Berlin Conference on Asian Security (BCAS) International Dimensions of National (In)Security Concepts, Challenges and Ways Forward Berlin, June 14-16, 2015 A conference jointly organized by Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP), Berlin and Konrad-Adenauer -Stiftung (KAS), Berlin Discussion Paper Do Not Cite or Quote without Author’s Permission Session II: Maritime Security Renato Cruz de Castro De La Salle University Manila The Philippines Discovers its Maritime Domain: Aquino Administration’s Shift in Strategic Focus from Internal to Maritime Security Renato Cruz de Castro Abstract: This paper examines the strategic shift in the Philippines’ defense policy from internal to maritime security. With China’s maritime expansion in the South China Sea, the Philippine government has eased up its counter-insurgency/counter- terrorism campaign and has vigorously pursued instead the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) particularly developing the deterrence capability of the Philippine Navy (PN). However, slow-paced and hampered by scant resources, the naval build-up will hardly deter China’s encroachment on the Philippine maritime territory. Faced with this predicament, the Philippines has resorted to forging new security partnership with the United States and Japan, two major naval powers in East Asia. The paper concludes that maritime security will remain the Philippines’ priority concern way into the third decade of the 21st century. Introduction During Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s nine-year presidency, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) concentrated its efforts, and resources on neutralizing the various insurgent movements in the country. In 2009, however, the Arroyo Administration was suddenly confronted with the ubiquitous Chinese naval presence in Philippine territorial waters and increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea dispute.

United States Author: Gaetano Scalise Courtesy of USNI Fleet Tracker For each week’s briefing, the U.S Navy’s strategically critical ships are tracked and their movements are analyzed. This week however, we report that the USS Reagan is still in Yokosuka Harbor and the USS Theodore Roosevelt was at sea, but its general whereabouts are unknown. Since there are no significant FONOPs, no other vessel updates are necessary. On the topic of exercises, earlier in the week, the U.S Air Force’s 909th Aerial Refueling Squadron and Pearl Harbor Hickam Air Force Base F22 Raptors held a joint training exercise to enhance operability. [1] A crucial show of support for the Taiwanese was hinted this week as Taiwan Press reported the alleged sale of Howitzers to assist in the defense of the island nation. It must be noted that we will continue to see more arms deals between the two nations as the U.S media has sounded the alarm on a “possible” attempted invasion of Taiwan within the next decade.

    ASEAN as a Diffuse Regional Regime: A Study of its Regime Dynamics, 1992-2001* Malaya C. Ronas1 Introduction The political settlement of the Cambodian Crisis in 1989 won for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) international acknowledgment as an effective organization in promoting regional stability in Southeast Asia. This achievement was made possible by its persistent diplomatic efforts, and the intersecting agendas of the major regional actors – China, Japan, US and at that time the former USSR. The end of the Cold War transformed the adversarial relations between the superpowers and allowed them to agree on the comprehensive political solution of the crisis. The framework of the Cambodian political settlement had been forged by ASEAN and brokered in multilateral forums of the United Nations (UN) and Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Not resting on its laurels, the Association moved quickly to establish the regional free trade area (AFTA) in manufactured goods and processed agricultural products in 1992. The meeting of the heads of government/state was regularized in a three-year interval in the same year. The rank of the Secretary General was raised to ministerial level and made his term of office longer to five years from three years. Moreover, the staff was made professional, recruited through merit and open competition rather than secondment from the bureaucracies of the member countries. Shortly thereafter, it expanded its membership to include all the remaining countries in the region. Vietnam was admitted in 1995, Lao PDR and Myanmar in 1997, and finally after some delay, Cambodia was admitted in 1999. The admission of the newly established state of East Timor is widely expected in the foreseeable future.
