The Year in Review
The Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific
Center for Security Studies (DKI
APCSS) annual report provides an
overview of programs and activities
that support Office of Secretary of
Defense for Policy (OSD-P) priorities
and documents our compliance with
applicable requirements. DKI APCSS
efforts continue to meet both OSD and
US Pacific Command (USPACOM)
guidance to build and sustain key
regional partnerships, build partner
nation capacity, and enhance cooperation on regional security challenges.
DKI APCSS’ work is responsive and
focused on achieving substantive, enduring outcomes.
Major Activities and Throughput
Calendar Year 2015 marked yet
another milestone, with the highest
throughput in DKI APCSS’ 20-year
history. Center staff and faculty conducted 10 in-resident courses (996
Fellows) and 13 short-term seminars
and workshops (569 participants),
resulting in a total throughput of
1,565 for the year. This represents an
increase in total throughput from the
previous year. The Center continued
its trend of expanding throughput
while maintaining consistently high
standards and continuing groundbreaking work.
Center programs for 2015:
4
•
enhanced knowledge, skills,
and values relevant to security
cooperation in the region,
•
built capacity and resilience,
fostered defense support to civil
authorities,
•
socialized norms of cooperation and collaboration in addressing shared challenges, and;
•
promoted critical thinking
within the Asia-Pacific, thereby
The annual Asia-Pacific Chiefs of Defense Conference took place in Honolulu this year.
Among participants in the September event were several alumni pictured at right with
U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. (Ret) Dan Leaf, director of DKI APCSS (center). They are (from
left to right) Cambodia Gen. Eth Sarath (SEC 08-2), Papua New Guinea Brig. Gen. Gilbert Toropo (EC 03-3), Fiji Commodore Viliame Naupoto (EC 02-3), and Tonga's Brigadier Honorable Lord Fielakapa (EC 01-1, CCM 12-1).
contributing to enhanced security in the region. Sustained communities of interest built institutional capacity and resilience.
The whole-of-government and
whole-of-society approach to security
solutions was strengthened by embedding Department of State-funded
International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) and Symposium on East
Asia Security (SEAS) participants in
courses, further expanding our Fellows’ understanding of comprehensive
security cooperation.
DKI APCSS introduced a new pillar to the foundation of its traditional
business model of resident courses,
workshops, and alumni engagement
with the addition of Security Dialogues. These dialogues leverage the
administrative and resource support of
our willing partners, with DKI APCSS
providing subject matter expertise and
the draw of the Center’s convening authority, allowing for more engagement
at lower cost, with more flexibility and
a lower profile than workshops. DKI
APCSS conducted six dialogues in
2015 with 370 participants. Included
were a series of dialogues with Laos
focused on their role in assuming the
ASEAN chairmanship, and with Thailand on major power relations, as well
as a trilateral engagement among Japan, India, and the United States.
Strategic Responsiveness
Continually growing evidence demonstrates the impact DKI APCSS is
making on US and partner capacity.
Fellows’ Projects remain a significant
mechanism for achieving these outcomes. For example, a recent Comprehensive Security Responses to TerDKI APCSS
rorism (CSRT 15-1) alumnus, director
and acting chief of the Nepal Telecommunications Authority, co-authored on
a Cyber Security Strategy for Nepal
while at DKI APCSS. This strategy is
being finalized within Nepal’s government. He was also recently appointed
to a Nepal Ministry of Information and
Communications committee to establish Nepal’s first National Computer
Emergency Response Team (CERT).
At the invitation of the U.S. Pacific
Command, he spoke at the Asia-Pacific Chiefs of Defense conference in
September 2015. Another Nepalese
Fellow’s earthquake preparedness and
recovery awareness initiative was ultimately funded by the United Nations
Development Programme, enabling
the renovation and retrofitting of 232
school buildings for earthquake resilience. These retrofitted buildings all
withstood the devastating April 2015
earthquake and aftershocks in Nepal.
DKI APCSS alumni associations
contribute to conflict avoidance and
resolution, improve governance,
and enhance cooperative disaster responses. Specifically, 2015 witnessed
significant contributions by Mongolian
alumni in crafting and implementing
the Mongolian National Defense Policy 2015; by Fijian alumni in crafting
a National Security Strategy, and Defence, Police, Intelligence, and Immigration White Papers; and by alumni
from Papua New Guinea in creating
their country’s first National Security
Policy and National Social Protection
Policy, in addition to operationalizing
its Defense White Paper and establishing a National Security Coordination
Center.
Women, Peace and Security
DKI APCSS remains a leader within
OSD and USPACOM in promoting
increased inclusion of women in the
security sector as part of its Women,
Peace, and Security (WPS) program.
DKI APCSS courses and workshops,
together with the Center’s WPS focus

helped build the capacity of allies
and partners to recruit more women
into their security sectors. This has
led to greater diversity and more effective development of security solutions. The DKI APCSS WPS program
focuses on three pillars: 20 percent
female participation in our activities,
integrating WPS issues into all of our
courses and workshops as appropriate,
and identifying credible and compelling evidence on the impact of women
on peace and security. We are making
progress as we have increased female
participation from 12.5 percent in
2011 to 21.6 percent in 2015, and a
growing number of successful alumni
Fellows Projects related to WPS are
advancing the concept of inclusive
security.
Workshop Program
In accordance with OSD-P guidance
and priorities, DKI APCSS developed
and conducted a workshop program
that enhanced knowledge, skills, and
values relevant to regional security cooperation. Workshop content contributed to enhanced security in the region
by fostering defense support to civil
authority; socializing norms of cooperation and collaboration in addressing shared challenges; and promoting
critical thinking.
Regional workshops conducted in
2015 specifically addressed security
sector development in Fiji following the 2014 democratic elections,
disaster risk reduction in Sri Lanka,
security challenges associated with
transnational migration in Southeast
Asia, maritime security in the Arctic,
and climate change and environmental
security in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Through
the authority of DKI APCSS to enroll
and fund NGO/IO members in its
courses and workshops, ASEAN secretariat members participated in DKI
APCSS programs, increasing ASEAN
capacity, and enhancing their cooperation with government counterparts.
Other organizations that benefited
from DKI APCSS programs included
South Asian Association for Regional
Cooperation (SAARC), Pacific Island
Forum (PIF) and Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG).
Outreach
DKI APCSS remains a key regional
influencer among organizations and
sectors that are often inaccessible to
other USG programs. This level of
trust led to a partnered event with

Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh National
Academy (HCMA) of Politics and
Administration. DKI APCSS hosted
the Communist Party of Vietnam
(CPV) in a ground-breaking engagement between the US Government and
CPV within the framework of the USVietnam Comprehensive Partnership.
The program was designed to provide
some of Vietnam’s upcoming leaders
a platform for enhanced understanding
of the evolving context and dynamics
of regional interaction in the Asia-Pacific, in addition to an opportunity to
uncover ways to strengthen Vietnam’s
interaction with other regional actors.
Fellows Projects
DKI APCSS programs are intentionally designed to incorporate real-world
application of lessons learned to ensure their impact lasts well beyond
the duration of a course or workshop.
Fellows Projects planned at the Center
and completed when the participant
returns home remain a key mechanism
for creating outcomes that build longterm partner capacity. An individual
Fellow shapes a project to substantively address a challenge or opportunity
in his or her nation or organization.
DKI APCSS staff and faculty mentor
Fellows through completion of each
project via outreach and virtual support. One example of a substantive
Fellow’s Project in calendar year 2015
was an Indonesian Fellow’s effort to
improve counterterrorism capacity as
part of ASEAN security cooperation
by setting up ongoing coordination
and cooperation between countries in
the region. An alumna serving as the
Director of the Nepal Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. focused
her Fellow’s Project “Streamlining
Official Declaration to Revive Nepal’s
Conflict Affected Industries” to collect
information on an additional 14 industries to analyze for consideration for
governmental assistance. A Malaysian
alumnus furthered his Fellow’s Project on “Upgrading Preparedness of
the Medical Sector in Eastern Sabah
Safety Zone to Treat Mass Casualties”
by getting his superior to support an
exercise to test the capabilities of one
hospital in the Sabah district as a baseline for the broader project.

associations in numerous countries in
2015 during in-region workshops and
staff and faculty travel. At present, the
Center has 57 chartered alumni associations, with the addition of three
potential associations in Argentina,
Brazil, and Paraguay presently in the
works.
DKI APCSS’s program of alumni
recognition enhances linkage with
past participants and inspires achievement among individual alumni and the
chartered alumni associations. It does
this by helping inspire completion of
Fellows Projects or implementation
of lessons learned at DKI APCSS
that contribute to good governance
or advancing security. The Alumni
of the Year award was presented to
Colonel Zaw San from Myanmar
(CCM15-1) for his development of a
country-wide security plan in support
of the 2015 national elections. Among
those considered for this honor, Ms.
Aarti Chataut from Nepal (CSRT151) produced a series of TV shows on
sexually- and gender-based violence,
briefing ministers on women’s rights,
and conducting training programs for
mid-career journalists. She was honored with several awards for her efforts contributing to the peace building
process and women’s empowerment.
Additionally, Mr. Rajib Subba, also
from Nepal (CCM13-1), developed
and implemented a first-ever social
media tool into the Nepal Police Force
to improve disaster response. Dramatic results included rapid information
sharing that helped save lives during
the 2015 earthquake.
DKI APCSS alumni published numerous papers via the DKI APCSS’
Alumni Perspectives platform, expanding global understanding of regional
viewpoints on Women, Peace and
Security, as well as Countering Violent
Extremism. Among them, Lt. Col.
Vanndy Piv, chief of the International
Relations Office of the High Command’s Cabinet, Royal Cambodian
Armed Forces, wrote on “Empowering

from the Inouye Legacy Fund for that
will be used to offer stipends for interns based on financial need. During 2015, DKI APCSS also received its first US Air Force Fellow
from the Command and Staff College
and increased the number of Air Force
and Army War College Fellows. This
effort develops officers with regional
experiences and perspectives for the
operational force.
DKI APCSS hosted several activities
in support of OSD, the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, USPACOM, and USPACOM’s
service components. Responding
to OSD and USPACOM guidance,
DKI APCSS convened a Command
and Staff College workshop with 18
education institutes (such as staff colleges) from 10 Asia-Pacific nations
to strengthen institutional capacity
consistent with democratic governance
and civil-military relations and to
identify actionable steps to enhance
cooperation. DKI APCSS also supported OSD, USPACOM, and DoS
maritime security policies and priorities by hosting the ASEAN Regional
Forum (ARF) intersessional meeting
on maritime security.
Additional papers of significance
included one by Lisa R. Wulan, an
Indonesian security analyst, who wrote
on “Enhancing the Role of Women in
Indonesia to Counter Terrorism,” and
Kris Mada, a journalist for Kompas
Morning Daily, who wrote on “Empowering Indonesia’s Local Seafarers
to Contain Smuggling.”
Fellowship Programs
The year featured a major expansion of DKI APCSS efforts to build
future military and civilian leaders
through the Military Fellows Program,
the Visiting Academic Program, and
the Regional Security Studies Intern
Program (RSSIP). These programs
strengthen the Center’s work through
the contributions of military officers
from service colleges, respected scholars from academic institutions, and
young students and professionals with
an interest in international relations.
Annual Report 2015
The Visiting Academic Program
took participants from Japan’s security sector, hosting two individuals: a
research Fellow from the National Institute for Defense Studies as well as a
respected journalist on the US - Japan
alliance. The Regional Security Studies Intern Program grew 50 percent
from 2014, attracting a record 30 interns from graduate and undergraduate
programs and the active duty military.
Interns gain valuable experience in
dealing with Asia-Pacific security issues and are exposed to international
practitioners and government service.

Mr. Tom Patykula welcomes Fellows attending the Advanced Security Cooperation
course (ASC15-2).
The nearly five-week ASC course is
designed to advance knowledge, skills
and networks related to multilateral
security cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region among mid-career security
practitioners representing national
government agencies and other influential regional and national entities.
The course stimulates strategic analysis and understanding of major security trends and challenges in the region;
surveys available and desirable tools
and processes that help mitigate challenges; and identifies requirements for
developing adequate national security
sector capabilities to support regional
efforts of confidence-building, preventive diplomacy, conflict resolution and
crisis management. Additionally, the
course seeks to enhance individual
leader skills in critical thinking, communication, collaboration and decision-making in complex multinational
and culturally diverse environments.

Visit Program
APCSS attracted more than
2,250 visitors, including senior
leaders from the United States
and other countries throughout
the Asia-Pacific region. Visitors
participated in roundtable discussions and served as guest speakers in DKI APCSS courses. By
enabling a shared discussion of
security challenges in the AsiaPacific Region, these visits served
a complementary function of
informing guests about the DKI
APCSS mission and contribution
to capacity-building while helping
keep staff and faculty current on
regional issues.

Who comes to
our courses?
Participants By Organization (all)
Searching for the optimal blend
of participants is a major effort at
the Center. Diversity enhances the
DKI APCSS experience by bringing people together with different
perspectives and a wide variety of
experiences. Having a diverse mix of
practitioners from the broadest security realm adds a crucial element of
realism to our exercise scenarios and
ensures we approach issues from a
comprehensive perspective.
As these charts demonstrate, only
slighly more than half of our international participants represent the
defense ministry, while the rest are
practitioners from over 15 diverse
ministries, reflecting a whole-of-government approach. This comprehensive approach to security introduces
experiences and perspectives from
departments such as foreign affairs,
law enforcement, disaster management and customs.
Within large ministries like defense, we also seek a balance among
military services and between uniformed and civilian personnel. The
law enforcement sector is also comprised of varied organizations such
as national police, customs, immigration and homeland security. This
inclusive approach challenges participants to think more critically and
broadly about security, and enhances
the learning experience with diverse
perspectives.

Mongolia earns DKI APCSS’ Alumni Association of Year Award
The Alumni Association of Mongolia is the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies Alumni
Association of the Year for 2015.
The association is recognized for
long-running support to DKI APCSS
outreach and education efforts to
include workshops on emergency
preparedness and risk reduction, demining and peacekeeping operations,
and transnational security challenges.
The group is currently working with
Center faculty members to assist in
hosting a Women, Peace and Security
seminar later this year in Ulaanbaatar.
Mongolia’s alumni have also assisted DKI APCSS in helping their nation
form its National Security and Foreign
Policy Concepts and most recently its
National Defense Policy.
“Congratulations to our friends in
Mongolia for a job well done,” said
DKI APCSS Director Lt. Gen. (Ret)
Dan Leaf. “They’ve demonstrated a
long-term commitment to using the
skills and connections they’ve gained
at the Center to enhance their nation’s
security processes. They’re a great example of the many outstanding alumni
associations we have throughout the
Asia-Pacific region.”
Alumnus helps ensure election safety in Myanmar,
earns Alumnus of Year Award
Zaw San said a security plan was crafted prior
to his CCM attendance,
but he made improving
it part of his course Fellows Project.
“I decided to use it
as an opportunity to
re-evaluate the plan by
applying DKI APCSS’
Police Col. Zaw San of Myanmar with Dr. Miemie Byrd.

the process, I was able to identify

key role in Myanmar’s ability to conproblems, processes that are too cenduct nearly violence-free elections in
tralized, and an inadequate number of
November. As a result he was named
special police personnel.”
Alumnus of the Year Award for 2015.
Zaw San served as part of a Myanmar team tasked to develop the nation’s security plan to ensure a safe
and democratic vote.
Myanmar’s 2015 elections were the
nation’s first fully participatory elections at the national level since the
military turned over control to civilian
authorities in 2010. Since that time,
the country has experienced sectarian and ethnic tensions, leading at
times to outbreaks of violence. Tensions caused many inside and outside
Myanmar to fear this year’s election
would not be a peaceful one.

The colonel developed nine supplemental actions weaved into Myanmar’s security plan. These included
establishing local, regional, and national command centers to systematically control police movements while
providing flexibility as situations
evolve.
The police officer also implemented
practices gleaned from lectures on
“Whole of Society” and “Inclusion”
lectures.
“I didn’t think about working with
civil society before I came to DKI
APCSS, because civil organizations
and Myanmar Police Forces have
had an adversarial relationship in
the past.” He related however, the
Center’s whole of society emphasis
motivated him to promote cooperation with such organizations, leading
to successful partnerships in securing
voting stations.
Zaw San noted that he did experience a level of organizational resistance when attempting to implement
changes, but said, “I overcame resistance by explaining to my supervisors
that I developed my proposal while at
DKI APCSS. The Center’s reputation
provided tremendous credibility to my
proposals.”
The result of the colonel’s work and
that of Myanmar’s security apparatus
was that millions of Myanmar citizens
safely voted in their first freely elected
national government – headed by the
National League for Democracy – in
more than five decades.
“I am very proud of Colonel Zaw
San for seizing the opportunity at
APCSS to make a positive impact for
his country at a crucial time,” said Dr.
Miemie Byrd, the colonel’s project
mentor. “It is quite gratifying to know
that our efforts as faculty members at
APCSS can spur the successes of our
fellows and their nations.”

Workshop Outcomes
Command & Staff Colleges in the
Asia-Pacific: Towards a Shared Vision for Cooperation
January 7-9, 2015, Honolulu, HI
In an effort to advance regional
cooperation in professional military
education, APCSS conducted this
three-day workshop bringing together
26 participants from 10 nations representing 18 command and staff colleges
in the region.
“This was an extraordinary group, in
aggregate responsible for the education
of nearly 12,800 future military leaders
annually,” said Dr. Al Oehlers, academic lead for the workshop. “Having
them all together in one room, actively
networking with each other and collaboratively developing shared projects
for the future was a real privilege.”
In his opening remarks to workshop
participants, Esala Nayasi, Fiji’s acting permanent secretary, Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, said the effort is
underway “to ensure that we have
mechanisms in place for civilian oversight and democratic control over our
defense, law enforcement and security
organizations…for our new democracy.” The end result, Nayasi trusts,
will be a national security system that
is “robust, relevant and cost-efficient,”
but provides for the current and future
safety, peace and prosperity of Fiji’s
people.
Command and staff colleges are
a critical component in professional
military education. The schools provide mid-grade officers with advanced
skills and knowledge in leadership,
communication, and analytical skills
needed to succeed in higher command
and staff appointments. Some schools
operate at the post-graduate level and
award master’s degrees in a broad
range of studies.
The February workshop brought
together 40 mid-senior grade officials from 20 Fiji Ministries and
government entities. These included
members of the National Security
Council; defense and interior agencies; and other security sector agencies
related to economic, environmental,
and health functions. Parliamentarians
and politicians representing both the
government and opposition, and other
informed security analysts also took
part.

Fiji is in a period of political transformation and is deliberately engaged
in building a new national security
system based on its emerging democracy and evolving regional security
environment. Part of this effort is a
thorough review and reformation of its
current security strategy and functions.
Disaster Management practitioners
from Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan,
India and Sri Lanka came together in
Colombo, Sri Lanka, March 3-5 to
exchange partnership ideas to help
reduce risks from natural disasters.
The event focused on creating new

The event brought together defense,
government, civil society and private
sector leaders for work centered on
three tasks: identify and clarify DRR
partnership challenges and opportunities; integrate effective partnership
strategies and best practices into current frameworks; and, advance DRR
partnerships at national and regional
levels.
Workshop results were later briefed
at a UN meeting on Disaster Risk Reduction. Read more at: http://apcss.

DKI APCSS & Ho Chi Minh Academy Workshop: Vietnam and Regional Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific
March 16-20, 2015, Honolulu, HI
Continuing a steady trend of increasing U.S.-Vietnam cooperation, Ho Chi
Minh National Academy of Politics
and DKI APCSS teamed up for a joint
workshop promoting international
partnership building. The March 16-20
event marked the 20th anniversary of
the restoration of formal U.S.-Vietnam
ties.
Titled “Vietnam and Regional CoopAnnual Report 2015
eration in the Asia-Pacific” the workshop paired 30 of Vietnam’s current
and future leaders with DKI APCSS
faculty for lectures, discussions and
strategy development. The intent, said
course manager Dr. Alexander Vuving, was to enhance the group’s understanding of evolving international
dynamics as their nation emerges onto
the world stage.

Securing Transnational Migration
in the Asia-Pacific Region
June 8-11, 2015, Jakarta, Indonesia
Our interconnected global economy,
with its tremendous imbalances in
workforce demographics and development levels, generates millions of
migrants. This situation poses unique
security challenges for both origin
and destination countries in the AsiaPacific region.
To address these challenges and
cooperation opportunities, 41 people
from 10 origin and destination economies, and three international organizations gathered for the June 9–11
workshop “Securing Transnational
Migration in the Asia-Pacific Region.”
The Asia-Pacific Center for Security
Studies co-hosted the event in Jakarta,
Indonesia, in partnership with Lemhannas RI, the National Resilience
Institute of Indonesia.
Workshop participants looked at
18
how their countries would be impacted
if migration ended and migrants had
to return to their origin countries. The
second- and third-order effects would
quickly result in a region marked by
increased instability and decreased human and national security.
