Foreword: Dear Readers, This issue of Asia-Pacific Defense FORUM is my first opportunity to share my thoughts on this vibrant and complex region. Today, our healthy alliances, positive economic trends, and potential for regional cooperation make it clear that opportunity is abundant in the Pacific. I am confident that working together we can achieve peace, stability and prosperity. We will continue the long legacy of fostering lasting friendships and strive to build and strengthen new partnerships as well. We will pursue robust and frequent engagements throughout the region. My goals as Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command include continued emphasis on winning the Global War on Terror, expanding security cooperation with allies and partners, increasing the readiness and posture of our forward-deployed forces, and ensuring USPACOM’s operations are successful. The men and women of USPACOM are and will continue to be ready and resourced to sustain peace and stability in the region and contribute appropriately to U.S. global commitments. It is my pleasure to work with all the nations in our region, and I welcome the counsel and insights of allies and partners. I also look forward to hearing from you, the readers of FORUM. Please contact us at apdforum@apan-info.net with your ideas and comments on the articles in this magazine. We are vitally interested in your comments.
