2 Currents Winter 2018 | www.apcss.org From the Director A NEW YEAR’S FOCUS Aloha and Hafa Adai! At DKI APCSS we accomplished so much in 2018, even up to the last weeks of December. Over the winter, we gave pause in our busy schedule to reflect on our ac- complishments this past year, and to reset our focus towards 2019 and beyond, which is turning out to be as ambitious and exciting as last year. We couldn’t have done all of this work without every part of our team at the Center, ready to work and contributing every day to our ongoing success. Without every- one’s contributions, we would not have maintained 100% program execution despite varying challenges. So let me highlight what has been done to carry the relevance of our Center throughout 2018. Mind you, it is not all inclusive of all the activities and events executed by DKI APCSS this year, however, it illustrates clearly how much has been done and accomplished in such a short period.

In 2018, our Ohana has educated, empowered, and connected 1,552 security practitioners from over 50 countries worldwide through eight alumni-producing courses and 11 workshops, conferences, roundtables, and security dialogues.

It’s a simple approach that I borrow from the financial paradigm of “paying yourself first” but in a larger context of professional development and growth of my people so we can continue to foster a culture of trust, teamwork, ownership and pride. To this effect, I remain steadfastly committed to my team in always looking for ways to improve and help charter a course to ensure we maintain our relevance and value to the Security environment for years to come. Of particular importance to me is the professional development of our staff and faculty to include new arrivals in 2019 and beyond. We will continue to share how our Center is “unique” in helping build a cohesive network of security practitioners focused on sharing and collaborating to better understand this complex security environment to get to practical outcomes for a more stable and prosperous region. As we look toward 2019, the year promises to be dynamic just as we create a more innovative Center that publishes a Center Strategy in conjunction with an Implementation Plan, introduces a Comprehensive Maritime Security Cooperation Course, and expands our use of matrix gaming in other courses.

FY19 Program As you all know, the 21st Century security environment is defined by complexity, ambiguity, interconnectedness and speed of change. We must always seek to adapt if we are to maintain our relevance as a Center. We have a solid and robust FY 19 program but we need to ensure that we maintain reserve capacity in order to effectively react to emergent tasking from our leadership as a result of this dynamic environment that we live in. In order to do that and keep our eye toward future innovation and change, we had to make some tough decisions to cancel courses and workshops in order to create constructive white space. That being said, we did add a new Comprehensive Maritime Security Cooperation (CMSC) course. This course is designed to strengthen the capability of maritime security policy advisors and practitioners to support efforts to promote a Free and Open Indo-Pacific region and protect the rules-based international order. We are also working on ways to better innovate and adapt our already successful program into one even better and more responsive to the needs of our security practitioners. Everything is a journey so any changes in what we do will be approached pragmatically and rigorously. Here’s a broad-brush of significant events we have planned for 2019 (does not include planned Dialogues, Partnerships, and SME Collaboration):

hh CCM 19-1, Feb. 7 – Mar. 13, 2019. hh Maritime Shared Awareness V Workshop (TBC) hh China’s Global Reach: A Security Assessment workshop with our sister Regional hh TSC 19-1, May 19-24, 2019.
