in the into pacific region.at play in the first is that the into pacific region is a huge geographic scope. and so to this just in terms of the number of countries and subregions that are included, and there is need for multiple entities to be working together to address challenges that presented different ways in different parts of the region. and so i think that is one of the factors i think that also, going back to the fact that we have defined objectives through our strategy through the strategies of others who care but the region and we have the specific objectives, that we want to achieve and we have outlined how we can most effectively get there read encino having sort of roadmap, i think makes it stick a little bit more because we know some of the key objectives we have a need to obtain and then of course, it is also the fact that there is existing regional architecture in place. that already, has been identifying problems and working toward solutions for a considerable amount of time is what many of the

lucky enough for the army pacific. carrying me through the rest of doing unbelievable work in the indo pacific. the region that is second to none. unbelievable. outliers and partners in the region. went to an easy job. as i mentioned, we are so glad that he got out of there to get to thehe pacific. i go on for hours about charlie and the region. let me turn it over to doctor tom who will be our moderator. tom, over to you. >> thank you to the whole team for this partnership. the army is a big organization. the pacific is a big place. a lot to talk about his general flynn said. could not do better than to have you out here sir. i hope this will not be your last. we will have to do this again soon. land is one of the domains. a domain on which human beings spend most of their time. to that end, we will start off with the same question that we kick off the series with. what is i your view of the rolef land power for the joint force today in 2040. first of all, thanks. thank you for allowing us to talk about this enormousl

china verma india theater, the southwest pacific, and then the pacific ocean area. so just the size of that theater warrants an army to be able to provide the depth, scale, and operational endurance as a land component in support of the combatant command. the other aspect i find interesting from history is, back to the comments i made in the beginning, the objective for nimitz and macarthur and in the great book defeat into victory

army pacific commanding general charles flynn talked about challenges in the indo-pacific region. this is about an hour and 10 minutes. gen. brown: good mornin, everybody. we are really glad you were here. for those of us joining online and certainly in person, welcome to the second installment of the strategic landpower dialogue. on general bob brown -- i am general bob brown. we cannot do it without the support of general dynamics make in this series happen. thank you for the great support to make this possible. he opened up the first strategic landpower dialogue a few weeks ago, pointing out the long-overdue need to have a forum like this to discuss strategic landpower. we could not have picked a better kickoff event than having secretary wormuth and now confirmed chief of staff randy george. they did a great first job on the dialogue. but there is no better way to follow up than getting general charlie flynn, commanding general big u.s. army pacific, an incredible war fighter and pacific expert, here to discuss the role of land power. i saw when i was u.s. army pacific command

china verma india theater, the southwest pacific, and then the pacific ocean area. so just the size of that theater warrants an army to be able to provide the depth, scale, and operational endurance as a land component in support of the combatant command. the other aspect i find interesting from history is, back to the comments i made in the beginning, the objective for nimitz and macarthur and in the great book defeat into victory was to seize, hold, defend terrain because they need to be able to extend it reach back into the theater and regain control of key terrain so that they can continue advancing across the pacific. i think the lesson today is given the arsenal the chinese created. we do not want to cede that space or give up any decisive terrain because we will pay a heavy price to retake it. so that is essentially why i believe that our approach of training in the region through jpm rc, contacting campaigning through operation pathways and the creation of joint interior lines provides us in my view with an operational approach and theory of victory to be ab

in the indo-pacific region to be any different. i'm here today because it's operational commanders number one responsibility to ensure the safety of our service members. and it's a responsibility i take very seriously. so highlighting these behaviors, and ensuring that we can prevent them, is a top priority. i want to thank you again for allowing me to be here today and i look forward to your questions. >> a quick note at the top, keep your questions to the topic. reporter: how concerned are you that you will not have the assets you need given that there's two carriers. how will we can't to deter china. and for dr. ratner, given that there's a second conflict have you been able to speak to any of your partners or allies about increasing production to get more 155's since now israel and ukraine will need them. >> let me start first, it is incredibly sad to watch the actions of the terrorists in the middle east. it's also sad to watch the illegitimate, illegal war in ukraine that's been initiated by the russians. as it applies to the

the across the pacific people's livelihoods depends on a healthy moraine environments. the threats of fisheries is a key reason why 7 nations in the region, vehemently oppose. they've seen mining with the cook islands and 3 other pacific countries inside for binding their fees. it could divide the range in their already risk, and that's just the columns at the moment. so if we don't work with our neighbors, that could be affected by this activity, i do see this is continuing, rather than looking at the potential of creating a rift, i would encourage countries to respect the decisions that each country is going to make in regards to any resource in their own jurisdiction the despite the preschool inflaming tensions, the prime minister believes dave c mining could help pacific nations lose the finances post tackling climate change. the region is one of the worst affected by global warming. passive by rising sea levels, routes and psych loans. we have been in the front line of climate change for a number of years. while the world is trying to get out g 20 countries to comm

now pacific nation. so once they've seen mining, also demanding the rights of mine in international voices be on this here a tree. and then taking that supplies to the international c panel, farsi in jamaica. these united nations of philly, i said, bony, regulates, and licenses mining in international voices. effectively off of the planet surface, the ice, i issued 31 exploration licenses to $22.00 companies to say if osha mining is viable. most of these permits they issued for a boss, see trends, musical guidelines. with the biggest known deposits i found. for a decade, the i say has argued over rules needed to govern osha mining. now that debate has come to a head off to tense negotiations. last july. delegates agreed to discuss the maritime a next these meeting. while it may seem like a week for environmental is the i, as i have also set themselves to target of adopting regulations that will enable dave c mining to stats. in late 2025, maureen. more expos don't. the alena jenko is concerned of the lik

yeah. batch, the global south and the pacific. we haven't had a good track record of extracting materials without logging and outlining. and yet we're thinking that we're going to actually do this perfectly and that we're, we're going to succeed and they will be know environmental impacts. they will be an environmental impact. the question is, how bad will that impact they they fled from the world's most secretive states. now young north koreans are finding statement, fortune, celebrity influences, but shining a light on the home at kings and bring danger. one on one east meets north korea's influence is coming out new lives online. despite the risk on al jazeera, the, the close to more than a decade of civil life remains a challenge in sierra leone. we follow the citizens of this world, one nation as they push the limit to evaluate the risk. and it really is on, i'll just do in mexico disposal well, 6000 migrants today crossing here, its southern border looking to push on tweets north and eva, united states. people have been queu

regarded puget sound as the best protected deepwater harbor on the pacific coast. and so, the boundaries dispute essentially comes down to these two nations, between puget sound and the area of land, the region between the columbia river and the 49th parallel. if we look again at the map, braden was compared to concede to the united states, everything to the south and east of the columbia river. britain hopes to maintain this region right here. present-day western washing. everything north and west of the columbia and south of the 49th parallel including puget sound. americans for their part desired the same area and wanted the border between the two nations to run along the 49th parallel all the way to the ocean. what we are really talking about, as far as the conflict of controversy, is this area right here. present-day western washing. let me pause for a second any questions? question. >> we always assumed to be in british control? >> i don't think we should always assume it. the 49th parallel had the historical precedent, so the united states expected nothing n

islands is one pacific lead us considering extracting minerals from the deep sea. we've been blessed with the resource that sits in now think ocean. it's so good sitting on the surface and being afraid of them knowing that some island disappear. you will have some of the impacts, our sion cannot handle this. i really do not feel like the technology is there at all to be even considering doing this in a sustainable fashion. in the seconds of 2 special reports, $1.00 oh, $1.00 east examines a deep sea mining is dividing the pacific, the or the it's easy to sell the cook islands as a postcard card on the cuban 19 to the prime minister, mark brown, a valuable lesson. he needs to diversify his country's tourism reliance. economy. when depends any kids in 2020, many of the results shut down in a single here. the economy dropped like 25 percent. it was tough when cobra came. the 1st thing was we did was close at borders, and essentially we close the borders for 2 years. that was very, very difficult on our industry. and on, on the private sector in particular, coven was d

in the pacific maintain access to the global financial system. today, we also discussed our joint position opposing russia's illegal and immoral invasion of ukraine. australia stands with ukraine. and president biden welcomed the package for further assistance that i announced yesterday. this will provide ukraine with additional military assistance, utilizing the innovative technology that's produced by australia's defense industry partners. finally, of course, last night and again today, we spoke about the situation in israel and gaza. australia unequivocally condemns the terrorism of hamas. we grieve for the loss of every innocent life, whether that be israeli or palestinian. in times of crisis, respect for international humanitarian law is paramount. it is a recognition of our common humanity. and i commend the president for his leadership that he has shown and the example that he has set. today, i announced that australia will provide an additional $15 million in humanitarian assistance for civilians in gaza -- this adds to the $10 million au

and i said, “because we're a pacific nation.”looked at me, and i said, “yeah, we're a pacific nation -- the united states.” we are, and we're going to stay that way. so, thank you. thank you, everyone. prime minister albanese: absolutely. thank you. [cross-talk by reporters] >> mr. president, on israel, will you respond to attacks on u.s. troops in the region? will you respond to attacks on u.s. troops in the region, mr. president? president biden: whoa, whoa, whoa -- well, you're going to get -- we're going to have a press conference after this. we'll be able to answer your questions. thank you. >> president biden and the prime minister of australia reaffirmed their commitment to their alliance and discussed shared priorities for their countries. they also commented on the israel-hamas war and security in the indo pacific region. this is just over 25 minutes. president biden: the sun is over there. i don't need these. [laughter.] hello, folks. mr. prime minister, we've been in close touch since the moment you came into office --

national security defense and indo pacific strategies. with the goal of advancing a free and open connected, secure, resill gent and prosperous indo pacific and aukus supports our sured vision of a world that's stable and prosperous where countries thrive. trade, and collaborate to address shared challenges. and where all countries are empowered to make their own sovereign decisions free from coercion. a free and open indo pacific region is vital to global security and prosperity. which is why we must deepen cooperation now. like our other partners across the atlantic and indo pacific, aukus partners understand the critical role the region plays in global trade and global prosperity. economic growth and prosperity require stability, and predictability. conditions that aukus seeks to undergird through enhanced deterrence and security. our alliances and partnerships have played a foundational role in contributing to peace and prosperity in the indo pacific for the last 70 years. aukus is a concrete commitment to strengthening these partners

all right, so american interest in the pacific northwest. having stagnated for decades suddenly increases dramatically. it takes the form of both settlers emigrating to the west but then also politicians, american statesmen, increasingly becoming willing to confront the british in order to resolve this boundary dispute in america's favor favor. and again, the respective approach is to colonization on the part of britain and the united states are a study in contrast. remember the hudson's bay. discouraged settlement it made no attempt to bring europe and women to the region to start families and to establish a permanent settler society. no attempt at all. the hbc discouraged ownership of lands. it was purely and extractive resource colony and indigenous were viewed by the hudson's bay company for their utility in company operations. there was no drive the part of the british to dispossess this native peoples of lands, no effort to place them reservations that would have been detrimental to the companies operations to mention its profits. amer

of the pacific islanders. were there any particular subjects maybe were able to control much as you'd like to look things the people the yeah yeah absolutely and i mean the 37 division amazing history know fighting from the south pacific onward and through manila and whatnot and they definitely turn up a lot of those trilogies, as you know. and it is an honor to write about them. yeah. i mean, i think in terms of where the historiography goes, i think personally on the guerrilla side that that is an is well known and that's really relevant. mean basically you've got spontaneous filipino organizations that are that are coming about of 1942 and you've got americans sometimes working with them almost in a role equivalent to what special forces later do. so i kind of think that's a side of the war that isn't as well known, maybe as it should be. and you also see something in the same thing in burma, too the sas is working with tribesmen in north burma and they are force multiplier for what known as merrill's marau

or the quad can only help our interest in the indo- pacific region in pacific -- in particular. >> thank you, senator murphy. >> thank you very much. i had a chance to travel to vietnam indonesia earlier. there is a fair amount of confusion, i will say, as we talk about au-u.k.-u.s., the quad and reinforces centrality, as you put it, secretary may. there are issues that are particularly important to countries like vietnam and indonesia. they are two very different nations. we had quite positive responses from au-u.k.-u.s. to the philippines, taiwan but a little bit of, what is this all about and how does it affect us? i know a lot of work has been done to try to assure where transparency has come up a number of times, that is important. in vietnam, there's a lot of appreciation for senator leahy's program of cooperation to heal the wounds from the vietnam war including addressing the munitions that continue to explode and the docks and contamination from asia to orange but as you assess it to now and i guess i would address this to both secretary lewis and secretary mori, do you feel lik

for our ability to deter the indo pacific and bubbly. sen. shaheen: i do not think that was an answer to my question. my question was, based on what i know about our situation at present, do not yet have that can pass. -- that capacity. dr. karlin: i want to make sure i understand which capacity you are talking about. the way aukus is set up we wouldn't be selling submarines to australia for at least a few years in terms of delivery. we continue on the trajectory with maintenance we have several more submarines operationally available at that time. when i look at that operationally available picture, it is more satisfying to be able to ensure the strategic intent of aukus. sen. shaheen: if we continue to invest at the rate we are investing, by the time our commitment to provide those submarines comes due, we will have that capacity? dr. karlin: at this stage, with the information we have, it appears we are on that right trajectory in terms of the impacts of investments. this is an area that one needs to monitor closely. i'm delighted to hear

defense for indo pacific security affairs. they will brief you on some newly declassified images and videos of coercive and risky p.l.a. operational behavior over the last year or so against u.s. aircraft operating lawfully in international airspace in the east and south china sea regions. we will release these videos and images later this afternoon. and with that, i'll turn over to dr. ratner. dr. ratner: ok, great. good afternoon, everyone. i would like to take this opportunity today to speak about the newly declassified pictures and videos shared by the department today that depicts the p.l.a. sharp increase in risky and operational behavior in the east and south china seas. and in particular i would like to discuss why it represents such a significant concern. as many of you know, every year for over 20 years it appear more -- the department of defense has released the china military power report. it is an important document because it is the department's authoritative public assessment of the p.l.a. and role it plays in h

the pacific ocean is framed by shores that, unfortunately, are not fully populated by people who areendly to each other, and therefore have military significance this region is huge, take care of the security of our fatherland, the power is ours. the people have done and are doing everything to strengthen the defense capability of our state, including in this most important area. therefore, i especially welcome the representatives of our navy and army, who today, the armed forces also prayed with us, and rightly so. are extremely necessary to ensure the security of the state and people, but not only that, we know that our state, the soviet union , collapsed, having the most, almost powerful army, so the question arises, why did this happen, an orthodox believer always has the right the answer is yes, because people apparently didn’t live quite as they should, don’t take it... what was a treasure for them turned out to be too susceptible to hostile words wrapped in a very attractive packaging, and we got what we got, but it seems to me that the people, our authorities, and the church,
