General James Mattis (Retired) spoke about a number of topics at his confirmation hearing, including U.S.-NATO relations, Russia, U.S. intelligence reliability, the defense budget, and military readiness. On NATO, General Mattis called it the most successful military alliance. He acknowledged President-elect Trump's skepticism of NATO but added that in conversations with him, Mr. Trump had shown an openness on the topic. The president-elect had also questioned U.S. intelligence. Mr. Mattis said...

The purpose of this research effort was to explore the influence Thailand and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have on the settlement of the Kampuchean Conflict. Because Thailand is one of the original members of ASEAN and potentially faces the most direct threat from the conflict, Thailand's relationships with its neighbors and with ASEAN were examined. Although some background information is included, the major emphasis of this research is placed on events occurring after...

The security challenges faced by Australia must accommodate unique regional complexities and perspectives which are both distinct from, but also linked to, its commitment as a Coalition partner in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). Concurrently participating in coalition global security efforts as part of the GWOT and pursuing regional security solutions is a balancing act for Australia made more complicated by the sometimes unanticipated interrelationships between global and regional security...

A new analysis has been performed on the HRM-III gamma ray detector data collected from Shuttle missions STS-41B, 41C, 41D, 41G and 51A. The new analysis shows no evidence for the existence of enhanced levels of radiation in low-Earth orbit over South-East Asia (ie in the area bounded by longitudes 100 E to 190 E and latitudes 10 S to 15 N) as previously suggested. Variations in the detector count rates with geophysical location are shown to be consistent with the variation of the cosmic ray...

This thesis examines the United States relationship with Vietnam in the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the end of the Cold War. Even though Vietnam's path toward progress and growth is hindered by internal and external security concerns, the direction is clear that she wants to be an integral player in the Southeast Asian region. Vietnam's dealings with the two regional major powers, the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, are addressed in respect to the historical pasts, the...

The closing of the U.S. bases in the Philippines is a timely occasion for the U.S. to consider use of bases in Vietnam. This paper discusses the reasons why the United States should consider Vietnam's public offer of American use of Cam Ranh Bay. Major changes in the region and especially Vietnam itself are reviewed. The paper then considers the importance of the strategic location of Southeast Asia and its economy. Finally, the paper looks briefly at the security concerns of the countries in...

Three developments/factors appear to be critical in exploring the emerging political-security environment in the Pacific. First is the dramatic decline of the Soviet threat. In the 1970s, the Soviet threat resulted in a de facto alignment of the United States, Japan, the People's Republic of China (PRC), the Republic of Korea (ROK), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, Australia, and New Zealand against the Soviet Union, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Despite...

The Soviet Union's presence in the Asia-Pacific region has historically been reflected in its military capability. Her Pacific buildup now includes the largest of the USSR's four fleets and a steady growth of air and naval forces at Cam Ranh Bay. This study shows that the Soviets are now enhancing their regional presence through another means of power in addition to their military. The use of economics as an alternative to gain a non-military foothold in the region is now a viable link to the...

For 21 years the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has been a model organization for regional cooperation among developing nations. It has provided an example to all South Asian Nations whom are themselves moving toward closer ties of cooperation as in SAARC -- The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation. Important aspects of this trend are the development of economic and security cooperation agreements that will likely have great impact on the political alignments of the...

This Note examines the evolution of the Soviet-Vietnamese relationship over the past decade in three contexts: (1) Soviet behavior in supporting the Vietnamese troops during the invasion of Cambodia in late 1978 and in defending them during the Chinese incursion of Vietnam in early 1979, (2) the level of Soviet economic and military aid, and (3) the impact of General Secretary Gorbachev's 'new thinking' on Soviet-Vietnamese relations. The record shows a Soviet disinclination to take risks in...

An integral part of U.S. worldwide security policy is the ability to pursue a forward-based military strategy. The presence of extensive U.S. naval and air installations on the Philippine Islands makes possible the deployment of military power to execute this strategy in the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The agreement allowing U.S. access to the Philippine bases is scheduled to expire in 1991. While the ultimate position of the Aquino government on the base renewal question is not...

On December 26, 2004, a magnitude 9.0 undersea earthquake off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia, unleashed a tsunami that affected more than 12 countries throughout south and southeast Asia and stretched as far as the northeastern African coast. Current official estimates indicate that more than 160,000 people are dead and millions of others are affected, including those injured, missing, or displaced, making this the deadliest tsunami on record. News reports suggest that the death...

The 1999 air war over Kosovo re-ignited a feud between the military and the news media that is generally believed to have been a permanent undercurrent of media-military relations since the Vietnam War. The events of 11 September 2001 and the subsequent declaration by President George W. Bush of a War on Terrorism temporarily drove the feud underground. But soon the media began, albeit tentatively, to second-guess Pentagon strategy in Afghanistan. Indeed, the general consensus among military...

Since the last CHECO study, USAF Search and Rescue in SEA (1961 to June 1966), was distributed, significant changes have contributed to an increase in pilot rescue and recoveries. These techniques and equipment improvements are-discussed in Search and Rescue for the period July 1966 to November 1967. Special emphasis is placed on the urgent need for accelerated development of an aircraft which will satisfy the distinct combat aircrew recovery mission of the U.S. Air Force. Responsibility for...

This report does not attempt to usurp the areas covered by other reports, but they are referenced to point the reader to areas where amplification or greater detail may be found. The achievement of air superiority is one of the first tasks of tactical air forces in any theater of operations. Although there had been...

The introduction of laser guided bombs (LGBs) and electro-optical guided bombs (EOGBs) into the United States Air Force (USAF) inventory revolutionized the air war in Southeast Asia. Targets which had withstood repeated conventional attacks by bombers--such as the Thanh Hoa Bridge in North Vietnam--fell quickly to the new weapons. Statistical studies made of the success rate of these weapons demonstrated that they were many times more effective than conventional weaponry on point targets. In...

In the battle for Dak To, allied intelligence discovered enemy forces converging before they had completed encirclement of the Special Forces camp. Movement of the U.S. 4th Infantry Division into the area forced the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) into a defensive position in hills many miles from Dak To. The ensuing fighting was a tactical success for American troops against an enemy suffering heavy casualties and being pushed back across the border. Although a factual estimate of enemy killed by...

Regional wave propagation studies are currently an important focus of research because of concerns over proliferation of nuclear weapons. Regional studies serve a twofold purpose: (1) regional data can provide stable yield estimates for underground nuclear explosions, and (2) regional data can discriminate between explosions and earthquakes. Yield and discrimination studies have often used the Sn and Lg regional phases. However, discriminants based on these types of regional data are generally...

Between April and November of 1997, a widespread series of forest fires in Indonesia-particularly in the provinces of Sumatra and Kalimantan-threw a blanket of thick, smoky haze over a large portion of Southeast Asia. As shown on the map, the smoke from the forest fires traveled hundreds of miles across the Southeast Asian region, reaching all the way to the southern parts of Thailand and the Philippines; however, the most severe effects were felt in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, and, of course,...

The China-Burma-India (CBI) theater, perhaps the most political front in World War II, has been largely ignored by students of military history. One reason for this inattention is the bitter interservice as well as interallied friction that nearly led to a collapse of cooperation between Great Britain and the United States in the southeast Asian theater of operations. The squabbles were over the best strategy for defeating Japan, the command and control of forces and resources in theater,...
