The Year in Review
TheDanielK.InouyeAsia-PacificCenter for Security Studies (DKI APCSS) annual report provides an overview of programs and activities thatsupportOfficeofSecretaryofDefense for Policy (OSD-P) priorities and documents our compliance with applicable requirements. DKI APCSS efforts continue to meet both OSD and USPacificCommand(USPACOM)guidance to build and sustain key regional partnerships, build partner nation capacity, and enhance coopera-tion on regional security challenges. DKI APCSS’ work is responsive and focused on achieving substantive, en-during outcomes.
Major Activities and ThroughputCalendar Year 2015 marked yet
another milestone, with the highest throughput in DKI APCSS’ 20-year history. Center staff and faculty con-ducted 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 ground-breaking work.
Center programs for 2015: • 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 coopera-tion and collaboration in ad-dressing shared challenges, and;
• promoted critical thinking withintheAsia-Pacific,thereby
contributing to enhanced securi-ty in the region. Sustained com-munities of interest built institu-tional capacity and resilience.
The whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach to security solutions was strengthened by em-bedding Department of State-funded International Visitor Leadership Pro-gram (IVLP) and Symposium on East Asia Security (SEAS) participants in courses, further expanding our Fel-lows’ understanding of comprehensive security cooperation.
DKI APCSS introduced a new pil-lar to the foundation of its traditional business model of resident courses, workshops, and alumni engagement with the addition of Security Dia-logues. 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 au-thority, allowing for more engagement atlowercost,withmoreflexibilityandalowerprofilethanworkshops.DKIAPCSS 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 Thai-land on major power relations, as well as a trilateral engagement among Ja-pan, India, and the United States.
Strategic ResponsivenessContinually growing evidence dem-
onstrates the impact DKI APCSS is making on US and partner capacity. Fellows’Projectsremainasignificantmechanism for achieving these out-comes. For example, a recent Com-prehensive Security Responses to Ter-
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.

DKI APCSS alumni associations contributetoconflictavoidanceandresolution, improve governance, and enhance cooperative disaster re-sponses.Specifically,2015witnessedsignificantcontributionsbyMongolianalumni in crafting and implementing the Mongolian National Defense Pol-icy 2015; by Fijian alumni in crafting a National Security Strategy, and De-fence, Police, Intelligence, and Immi-gration White Papers; and by alumni from Papua New Guinea in creating theircountry’sfirstNationalSecurityPolicy and National Social Protection Policy, in addition to operationalizing its Defense White Paper and establish-ing a National Security Coordination Center.
Women, Peace and SecurityDKI 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 ef-fective development of security solu-tions. 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 compel-ling 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 ProgramIn 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 co-operation. Workshop content contrib-uted to enhanced security in the region by fostering defense support to civil authority; socializing norms of coop-eration and collaboration in address-ing shared challenges; and promoting critical thinking.
Regional workshops conducted in 2015specificallyaddressedsecuritysector development in Fiji follow-ing 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 Chi-nese Academy of Sciences. Through the authority of DKI APCSS to enroll and fund NGO/IO members in its courses and workshops, ASEAN sec-retariat members participated in DKI APCSS programs, increasing ASEAN capacity, and enhancing their coopera-tion with government counterparts. Otherorganizationsthatbenefitedfrom DKI APCSS programs included South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation(SAARC),PacificIslandForum (PIF) and Melanesian Spear-head Group (MSG).
OutreachDKI APCSS remains a key regional
influenceramongorganizationsandsectors that are often inaccessible to other USG programs. This level of trust led to a partnered event with

The Year in Review (continued)
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 engage-ment between the US Government and CPV within the framework of the US-Vietnam 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-Pa-cific,inadditiontoanopportunitytouncover ways to strengthen Vietnam’s interaction with other regional actors.
Fellows ProjectsDKI APCSS programs are intention-
ally designed to incorporate real-world application of lessons learned to en-sure 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 long-term partner capacity. An individual Fellow shapes a project to substantive-ly 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 sup-port. 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 De-velopment Corporation Ltd. focused her Fellow’s Project “Streamlining OfficialDeclarationtoReviveNepal’sConflictAffectedIndustries”tocollectinformation on an additional 14 indus-tries to analyze for consideration for governmental assistance. A Malaysian alumnus furthered his Fellow’s Proj-ect on “Upgrading Preparedness of the Medical Sector in Eastern Sabah SafetyZonetoTreatMassCasualties”by getting his superior to support an exercise to test the capabilities of one hospital in the Sabah district as a base-line for the broader project.
Alumni HighlightsThe Center’s relationships with
alumni are essential to creating last-ing, substantive outcomes. DKI APCSS engaged alumni and alumni
associations in numerous countries in 2015 during in-region workshops and staff and faculty travel. At present, the Center has 57 chartered alumni as-sociations, 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 achieve-ment 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 (CSRT15-1) produced a series of TV shows on sexually- and gender-based violence, briefingministersonwomen’srights,and conducting training programs for mid-career journalists. She was hon-ored with several awards for her ef-forts contributing to the peace building process and women’s empowerment. Additionally, Mr. Rajib Subba, also from Nepal (CCM13-1), developed andimplementedafirst-eversocialmedia tool into the Nepal Police Force to improve disaster response. Dramat-ic results included rapid information sharing that helped save lives during the 2015 earthquake.
DKI APCSS alumni published nu-merous papers via the DKI APCSS’ Alumni Perspectives platform, expand-ing 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 RelationsOfficeoftheHighCom-mand’s Cabinet, Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, wrote on “Empowering Advanced Security Cooperation Fellows practice their new skills during an exercise.

included one by Lisa R. Wulan, an Indonesian security analyst, who wrote on “Enhancing the Role of Women in IndonesiatoCounterTerrorism,”andKris Mada, a journalist for Kompas Morning Daily, who wrote on “Em-powering Indonesia’s Local Seafarers toContainSmuggling.”
Fellowship ProgramsThe year featured a major expan-
sion 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 thecontributionsofmilitaryofficersfrom service colleges, respected schol-ars from academic institutions, and young students and professionals with an interest in international relations.
As a result of the Center’s work with SpecialOperationsCommand-Pacificin establishing their multinational en-gagement operational planning team, DKI APCSS now has its second Army Special Operations Force Fellow.
During 2015, DKI APCSS also re-ceiveditsfirstUSAirForceFellowfrom the Command and Staff College and increased the number of Air Force and Army War College Fellows. This effortdevelopsofficerswithregionalexperiences and perspectives for the operational force.
The Visiting Academic Program took participants from Japan’s secu-rity sector, hosting two individuals: a research Fellow from the National In-stitute for Defense Studies as well as a respected journalist on the US - Japan alliance. The Regional Security Stud-ies Intern Program grew 50 percent from 2014, attracting a record 30 in-terns from graduate and undergraduate programs and the active duty military. Interns gain valuable experience in dealingwithAsia-Pacificsecurityis-sues and are exposed to international practitioners and government service.
The RSSIP has a bright future, as
evidenced by a $100,000 endowment from the Inouye Legacy Fund for that will be used to offer stipends for in-ternsbasedonfinancialneed.
HQ SupportDKI 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 col-leges)from10Asia-Pacificnationsto strengthen institutional capacity consistent with democratic governance and civil-military relations and to identify actionable steps to enhance cooperation. DKI APCSS also sup-ported OSD, USPACOM, and DoS maritime security policies and priori-ties by hosting the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) intersessional meeting on maritime security.
Ms. Aarti Chataut from Nepal (CSRT15-1) 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.

Who comes to our courses?
Searching for the optimal blend of participants is a major effort at the Center. Diversity enhances the DKI APCSS experience by bring-ing people together with different perspectives and a wide variety of experiences. Having a diverse mix of practitioners from the broadest secu-rity 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 inter-national participants represent the defense ministry, while the rest are practitioners from over 15 diverse ministries,reflectingawhole-of-gov-ernment approach. This comprehen-sive approach to security introduces experiences and perspectives from departments such as foreign affairs, law enforcement, disaster manage-ment and customs.
Within large ministries like de-fense, we also seek a balance among military services and between uni-formed and civilian personnel. The law enforcement sector is also com-prised of varied organizations such as national police, customs, immi-gration and homeland security. This inclusive approach challenges par-ticipants to think more critically and broadly about security, and enhances the learning experience with diverse perspectives.
Note: with the inclusion of US Fel-lows the numbers lean more heavily to Department of Defense as a result of our Asia-Pacific Orientation Course.

Mongolia earns DKI APCSS’ Alumni Association of Year AwardThe Alumni Association of Mongo-
lia is the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacif-ic 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, de-mining 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 assist-ed 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 Mongoliaforajobwelldone,”saidDKI 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 ex-ample of the many outstanding alumni associations we have throughout the Asia-Pacificregion.”
Police Col. Zaw San, an alumnus of the Comprehensive Crisis Manage-ment course (CCM 15-1), played a key role in Myanmar’s ability to con-duct nearly violence-free elections in November. As a result he was named Alumnus of the Year Award for 2015.
Zaw San served as part of a Myan-mar team tasked to develop the na-tion’s security plan to ensure a safe and democratic vote.
Myanmar’s 2015 elections were the nation’sfirstfullyparticipatoryelec-tions at the national level since the military turned over control to civilian authorities in 2010. Since that time, the country has experienced sectar-ian and ethnic tensions, leading at times to outbreaks of violence. Ten-sions caused many inside and outside Myanmar to fear this year’s election would not be a peaceful one.

solving model. As I worked through the process, I was able to identify three key additional challenges for election security: logistics and budget problems, processes that are too cen-tralized, and an inadequate number of specialpolicepersonnel.”
The colonel developed nine supple-mental actions weaved into Myan-mar’s security plan. These included establishing local, regional, and na-tional command centers to systemati-cally control police movements while providingflexibilityassituationsevolve.Thepoliceofficeralsoimplemented
practices gleaned from lectures on “WholeofSociety”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 thepast.”Herelatedhowever,theCenter’s whole of society emphasis motivated him to promote coopera-tion with such organizations, leading to successful partnerships in securing voting stations.
Zaw San noted that he did experi-ence a level of organizational resis-tance when attempting to implement changes, but said, “I overcame resis-tance 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 safelyvotedintheirfirstfreelyelectednational government – headed by the National League for Democracy – in morethanfivedecades.
“I am very proud of Colonel Zaw San for seizing the opportunity at APCSS to make a positive impact for hiscountryatacrucialtime,”saidDr.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 fellowsandtheirnations.”

In an effort to advance regional cooperation in professional military education, APCSS conducted this three-day workshop bringing together 26 participants from 10 nations repre-senting 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,”saidDr.AlOehlers,aca-demic lead for the workshop. “Having them all together in one room, actively networking with each other and collab-oratively developing shared projects forthefuturewasarealprivilege.”
Command and staff colleges are a critical component in professional military education. The schools pro-videmid-gradeofficerswithadvancedskills and knowledge in leadership, communication, and analytical skills needed to succeed in higher command and staff appointments.

Security Sector Development in Fiji February 24-27, 2015, Suva, Fiji
To help strengthen Fiji’s comprehen-sive security capabilities, its govern-ment, in partnership with DKI APCSS conducted a Security Sector Develop-ment Workshop in Suva Feb. 24-27. The workshop was conducted at the invitation of the Government of Fiji, and in coordination with the US Em-bassy in Suva.
Fiji is in a period of political trans-formation and is deliberately engaged in building a new national security system based on its emerging democ-racy and evolving regional security environment. Part of this effort is a thorough review and reformation of its current security strategy and functions.
In his opening remarks to workshop participants, Esala Nayasi, Fiji’s act-ing permanent secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the effort is underway “to ensure that we have mechanisms in place for civilian over-sight and democratic control over our defense, law enforcement and security organizations…for our new democ-racy.”Theendresult,Nayasitrusts,will be a national security system that is“robust,relevantandcost-efficient,”but provides for the current and future safety, peace and prosperity of Fiji’s people.
The February workshop brought together 40 mid-senior grade of-ficialsfrom20FijiMinistriesandgovernment entities. These included members of the National Security Council; defense and interior agen-cies; 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.

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 devel-opment levels, generates millions of migrants. This situation poses unique security challenges for both origin and destination countries in the Asia-Pacificregion.
To address these challenges and cooperation opportunities, 41 people from 10 origin and destination econo-mies, and three international orga-nizations gathered for the June 9–11 workshop “Securing Transnational MigrationintheAsia-PacificRegion.”TheAsia-PacificCenterforSecurityStudies co-hosted the event in Jakarta, Indonesia, in partnership with Lem-hannas RI, the National Resilience Institute of Indonesia.
Workshop participants looked at
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 hu-man and national security.
