  • 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 OCTOBER 1, 2018‒DECEMBER 31, 2018 ABOUT THIS REPORT In January 2013, legislation was enacted creating the Lead Inspector General (Lead IG) framework for oversight of overseas contingency operations. This legislation, which amended the Inspector General Act, requires the Inspectors General of the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of State (DoS), and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to, among other things, provide quarterly reports to Congress on each contingency operation and the activities of the Lead IG agencies. The DoD Inspector General (IG) is designated as the Lead IG for Operation Pacific Eagle- Philippines (OPE-P). The DoS IG is the Associate IG for OPE-P. The USAID IG also participates in oversight for the operation. The Offices of Inspector General of DoD, 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 their statutory missions related to this overseas contingency operation: • Develop a joint strategic plan to conduct comprehensive oversight over the contingency operation. • Ensure independent and effective oversight of programs and operations of the Federal Government in support of the contingency operation through either joint or individual audits, inspections, and investigations. • Report quarterly and biannually to Congress and the public on the contingency operation and activities of the Lead IG agencies. METHODOLOGY To produce this quarterly report, the Lead IG agencies gather data and information from their agencies and open sources, including congressional testimony, policy research organizations, press conferences, think tanks, and media reports.

  • THE PHILIPPINE NAVY • Four-Fold Mission: 1. National Defense 2
    THE PHILIPPINE NAVY Learning Outcomes: After the class discussion, the students are expected to: • Enumerate the mission and role of the Modern Philippine Navy • Develop an appreciation on the short history of the Philippine Navy during its infancy stage Four-fold Mission: 1. National Defense 2. Security Operations 3. Deterrence 4. National Development The Navy's Roles The modern Navy has expanded its roles beyond the initial mandate to protect the country's shores. These roles include: 1. The Navy shall defend the territory from external aggression. 2. The Navy shall continue its role of securing the Philippine maritime areas from all forms of intrusions and encroachment, piracy and drug trafficking. 3. The Navy shall assist other government agencies in protecting our marine resources and environment. 4. The Navy shall continue to assist in the conduct of rescue and relief operations not only during accidents _________________________________________1 at sea but even during natural calamities in land such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods. 5. The Navy shall continue assisting in national socio- economic development. 6. The Navy, as it acquires new and more potent assets, will be an effective instrument of government in fulfilling various security-related international commitments. History The Philippines had long been a seafaring nation. Early Filipino inhabitants came from across the seas - from Ancient China, Borneo and Malay Peninsula. For centuries, seafaring natives living along the coastal areas of the country have sailed across the uncharted waters of the surrounding seas in their frail little boats. The Filipino seafarers engaged in a very active trade and made regular voyages to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia and the Far East.

  • Students Deploy, Provide Emergency Communications Support by Kenneth A
    U.S. Navy photo by Javier Chagoya Students Deploy, Provide Emergency Communications Support By Kenneth A. Stewart The Naval Postgraduate School’s Hastily Formed Networks (HFN) Research Group recently de- ployed to the Central Philippines to support disaster recovery efforts in the wake of Typhoon Hai- yan. HFN Research Group Director, and NPS Department of Information Sciences Lecturer Brian Steckler deployed to the region in advance of his student team to conduct early communications assessments. “I am working with the Marine Corps Pacific Forces Experimentation Center in support of the Third Marine Battalion (3rd MEB). The 3rd MEB is in charge of the initial Marine response to Typhoon Haiyan,” said Steckler. “My first step was to find out where they want to use our commu- nications capabilities and to conduct an assessment to determine local communications needs.” The Hastily Formed Networks group is not just in it for the academic value. We have deployed to other major disasters where we have provided real support to people in desperate need.” U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Travis Beeson HFN teams equipped with satellite-enabled, handheld devices were given the green light to con- duct rapid Information and Communication Technology assessments. NPS’ HFN team also used the advanced communications tools at their disposal to create hastily formed networks. “The communications link is critical, we cannot coordinate if we can’t communicate,” said NPS student and U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Travis Beeson of Versailles, Ohio. “We establish emergency communications between critical HA/DR centers, hospitals and NGOs. According to Steckler, a major complication in a situation like this is aid distribution — some ar- eas do not get enough assistance and others get too much.
