Maluhia Road, Honolulu, HI 96815 2 CURRENTS Spring 2015 Director’s Message Building partnerships vital to peace, stability In an interconnected world, the effects of events in one nation often extend into neigh- boring nations, and even throughout the world. A tsunami in Southeast Asia or an earthquake in Nepal, can spark a global response. Additionally, crime, confl ict and terrorism often occur today at the transnational level, requiring multina- tional engagement. In such a world, achieving stability and prosperity demands a commitment to building international partnerships. This edition of Currents showcases how the Asia-Pacifi c Center for Securi- ty Studies is reaching across language, cultural and political barriers to foster Frequent bilateral and multilateral courses and workshops enable APCSS to partner with governments and agencies to address challenges impacting multiple security-related an effective network of bilateral and arenas, to include effective governance, security sector development, and health and multilateral partnerships in the Asia- environment.

  • Operation Pacific Eagle–Philippines Lead Inspector General Report to the United States Congress
    OPERATION PACIFIC EAGLE–PHILIPPINES LEAD INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS JULY 1, 2020–SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 ABOUT THIS REPORT A 2013 amendment to the Inspector General Act established the Lead Inspector General (Lead IG) framework for oversight of overseas contingency operations and requires that the Lead IG submit quarterly reports to Congress on each active operation. The Chair of the Council of Inspectors General for Integrity and Efficiency designated the DoD Inspector General (IG) as the Lead IG for Operation Pacific Eagle–Philippines (OPE-P). The DoS IG is the Associate IG for the operation. The USAID IG participates in oversight of the operation. The Offices of Inspector General (OIG) of the DoD, the DoS, and USAID are referred to in this report as the Lead IG agencies. Other partner agencies also contribute to oversight of OPE-P. The Lead IG agencies collectively carry out the Lead IG statutory responsibilities to: • Develop a joint strategic plan to conduct comprehensive oversight of the operation. • Ensure independent and effective oversight of programs and operations of the U.S. Government in support of the operation through either joint or individual audits, inspections, investigations, and evaluations. • Report quarterly to Congress and the public on the operation and on activities of the Lead IG agencies. METHODOLOGY To produce this quarterly report, the Lead IG agencies submit requests for information to the DoD, the DoS, USAID, and other Federal agencies about OPE-P and related programs. The Lead IG agencies also gather data and information from other sources, including official documents, congressional testimony, policy research organizations, press conferences, think tanks, and media reports.

  • Ship Covers Relating to the Iran/Iraq Tanker War
    THE IRAN/IRAQ TANKER WAR AND RENAMED TANKERS ~ Lawrence Brennan, (US Navy Ret.) SHIP COVERS RELATING TO THE IRAN/IRAQ TANKER WAR & REFLAGGED KUWAITI TANKERS, 1987-881 “The Kuwaiti fleet reads like a road map of southern New Jersey” By Captain Lawrence B. Brennan, U.S. Navy Retired2 Thirty years ago there was a New Jersey connection to the long-lasting Iran-Iraq War. That eight years of conflict was one of the longest international two-state wars of the 20th century, beginning in September 1980 and effectively concluding in a truce in August 1988. The primary and bloody land war between Iran and Iraq began during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. The Shah had left Iran and that year the USSR invaded Afghanistan. The conflict expanded to sea and involved many neutral nations whose shipping came under attack by the combatants. The parties’ intent was to damage their opponents’ oil exports and revenues and decrease world supplies. Some suggested that Iran and Iraq wanted to draw other states into the conflict. An Iranian source explained the origin of the conflict at sea. The tanker war seemed likely to precipitate a major international incident for two reasons. First, some 70 percent of Japanese, 50 percent of West European, and 7 percent of American oil imports came from the Persian Gulf in the early 1980s. Second, the assault on tankers involved neutral shipping as well as ships of the belligerent states.3 The relatively obscure first phase began in 1981, and the well-publicized second phase began in 1984. New Jersey, half a world away from the Persian (Arabian) gulf, became involved when the United States agreed to escort Kuwait tankers in an effort to support a friendly nation and keep the international waters open.

It is difficult to imagine what life was like in America in 1942: Walking was still the primary means of transportation, only a little more than half of residences had any indoor plumbing, male life expectancy was 6o years old and females 68 years old, and the rationing of every resource, including food, metal and energy sources, was the norm.

As the government recognized “a whole of nation approach” to address the public health emergency, Nograles said the medical professionals could present their recommendations, suggestions, and findings to the working group led by the Department of Health (DOH). The panel report will then be submitted to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Infectious Diseases and President Duterte. “Because the President listened to the sentiment of the health workers, there will be a working group of the Department of Health and different medical societies. We have a mechanism to give the medical societies an avenue to raise their different recommendations to the DOH, IATF, and President Duterte),” he said during the online “Kapihan sa Manila Bay” forum Wednesday. “The enhancement we are doing now is the different medical societies, their representatives are now part of this working group with the DOH so they can also voice out their concerns, and more importantly, their recommendations,” he added.
