The RAFPMP is divided into three phases, or Horizons, covering the period from 2013 – 2027 which are aimed at boosting homeland and maritime security, and territorial defense capabilities, as well as support humanitarian assistance and disaster response operations and other national developments. Increased Modernization Funds Available The Second Horizon runs 2018–22 and has been allocated around US$5.5 billion towards procurement, with the Philippine Army given US$1.4 billion, the Philippine Air Force US$2.65 billion, and the Philippine Navy US$1.46 billion. Additionally, the DND’s 2019 budget will be boosted by 34% to US$3.49 billion to support AFP operations. Smoother Business Processes Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana announced in March 2019 that the DND is committed to introducing additional reforms that will streamline defense procurement processes, which are aimed at improving the quality of acquisitions for the AFP as well as enhancing oversight and transparency. Increased attention will also be placed on centralising administration of procurement efforts to establish seamless, trouble-free procurement processes. Capability Gaps to Fill Although several key AFP requirements are being met through acquisitions made during the First Horizon phase, the service is nevertheless looking to address yet more capability gaps with high-end requirements under the Second Horizon. For example, the Philippine Army has outlined a desire to begin acquiring heavy combat vehicles to boost its organic firepower, and could also revisit its interest in shore-based missile systems. The Philippine Air Force is looking into new multi-role combat aircraft to add to its new fleet of Korean-made FA-50PH light attack aircraft to better secure the country’s vast airspace, and is also exploring options for enhanced airborne ISR and transport capabilities. Meanwhile, the Philippine Navy has already outline a requirement for at least six offshore patrol vessels as well as a range of other surface warfare capabilities to recapitalise its ageing fleet.

  • 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.

  • Asia's China Strategy
    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.

    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.

  • LT Crotty, USCG, WWII POW of the Japanese
    PACIFIC CURRENTS NEWSLETTER “They Also Serve” VOLUME XX ISSUE IV 1 DECEMBER 2019 United States Coast Guard Retiree Council Northwest LT CROTTY, USCG, WWII POW OF THE JAPANESE Lieutenant Thomas James Eugene Crotty, USCG was laid to rest on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019 at : Holy Cross Cemetery, 2900 South Park Avenue, Lackawanna, New York LT Thomas Crotty was the only Coast Guardsman to serve in the Defense of the Philippines. Crotty was the first Coast Guard prisoner of war since the War of 1812 and one of four USCG POWs during WWII. Crotty served in four different military branches while deployed to the Philippines. Crotty managed and coached Buffalo's 1929 American Legion Junior National Baseball Championship team and he was class president during his time at the Coast Guard Academy. LT Crotty’s story has been lost and forgotten like the heroic sacrifices made by thousands of defenders of Bataan and Corregidor. Jimmy Crotty was a member of the long blue line and his brief life embodied the Coast Guard’s core values of honor, respect and devotion to duty. LT Crotty was born on 18 March 1912, in Buffalo, New York. He graduated from the United States Coast Guard Academy in 1934 after serving as Company Commander, class president and captain of the Academy’s football team. After graduation, Crotty began a promising Coast Guard career, which hardened him into a mature leader. For six years, he served on board cutters based out of New York, Seattle, Sault Ste. Marie and San Diego. His assignments included duty on cutter Tampa, during her 1934 rescue of passengers from the burning passenger liner Morro Castle; and, a Justice Department appointment as special deputy on the Bering Sea Patrol.

  • Wartime Coastal Patrol -- December, 1941
    WARTIME COASTAL PATROL -- DECEMBER, 1941 Prologue The Philippine Fleet traces it origin from the pre-war Offshore Patrol – the forerunner of the Philippine Navy. On December 4, 1941 Enrique L. “Henry” Jurado, USNA ’34 became officer-in-command of the OSP, right at the start of the WWII. Henry Jurado graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy the year the United States agreed to grant Philippine independence in 1934. Henry was a sports lover, a football fan, and he tried his hand at several teams during his Annapolis days. He settled on wrestling after quitting boxing because it was too unrefined and soccer because it was too easy to twist ankles, said his yearbook, “The Lucky Bag.” Student records also show that Henry was a freshman participant in soccer but a four-year mainstay in wrestling, earning letterman honors his final three years. He was a tiny, stocky grappler on Coach John Schutz’s squad, weighing no more than 127 pounds but with a chest that expanded to 35 inches. Sidney D.B. Merrill, a wrestling teammate, said Henry was muscular, quick and a fast learner on the mat. “I never was able to beat him twice,” Merrill recalled. Roy Smith, a Naval Academy student, did not socialize with Henry but knew of his reputation: At the U.S. Naval Academy, it was common to see him propped up comfortably in his chair during a lecture, said his Yearbook, which added he had “… a… great capacity for making friends” and was “… easygoing to the last degree.” “Everybody liked Enrique,” Smith said simply.

  • Combat Chronology
    U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II Combat Chronology 1941 - 1945 Compiled by Kit C. Carter Robert Mueller Center for Air Force History Washington, DC 1991 PREFACE The chronology is concerned primarily with operations of the US Army Air Forces and its combat units between December 7, 1941 and September 15, 1945. It is designed as a companion reference to the seven-volume history of The Army Air Forces in World War 11, edited by Wesley Frank Craven and James Lea Cate. The research was a cooperative endeavor carried out in the United States Air Force historical archives by the Research Branch of the Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center. Such an effort has demanded certain changes in established historical methodology, as well as some arbitrary rules for presentation of the results. After International and US events, entries are arranged geographically. They begin with events at Army Air Forces Headquarters in Washington then proceed eastward around the world, using the location of the headquarters of the numbered air forces as the basis for placement. For this reason, entries concerning the Ninth Air Force while operating in the Middle East follow Twelfth Air Force. When that headquarters moves to England in October 1943, the entries are shifted to follow Eighth Air Force. The entries end with those numbered air forces which remained in the Zone of the Interior, as well as units originally activated in the ZI, then designated for later movement overseas, such as Ninth and Tenth Air Forces. The ZI entries do not include Eighth and Twentieth Air Forces, which were established in the ZI with the original intent of placing them in those geographical locations with which they became historically identified.
