APCSS Annual Report

My First Year: Newcomer’s Observations

 

I had the honor of becoming the Director, APCSS in January 2012. I thought that I knew the Center well from my time as the Deputy Commander, U.S. Pacific Command, and from interaction while I was in the defense industry. That was true enough; I had sufficient information to take the position knowing that it would be richly challenging and rewarding to be

on a great team doing worthy work. But I found there was much I did not know.

This report details the activities and impact of the team’s efforts in 2012, so I will merely highlight what I learned

during this first year about what we do. Read More... (go to page 2)

USPACOM State Partnership Program

 

Hawaii Govenor Neil Abercrombie is greeted by APCSS Director Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Dan Leaf upon his arrival at the Center April 23. The governor met briefly with National Guard leadership who are attending the "U. S. Pacific Command State Partnership Program Senior Leaders Workshop" at APCSS.

 

The three-day Senior Leaders Workshop 2013, “Partnering in the Rebalance,” was recently held at APCSS.  This workshop provided an opportunity to review and facilitate the USPACOM State Partnership Program in light of the rebalance to the Asia-Pacific with the goal of enhancing security cooperation efforts with seven key regional partners.  Workshop participants included USPACOM and National Guard (NG) senior leaders and other SPP stakeholders from Washington, Alaska, Oregon, Guam, Idaho, and Hawaii. Participants were briefed on recent developments impacting theater processes and operations and were afforded opportunities to build valuable relationships while sharing, collaborating and learning from the experiences of fellow security cooperation practitioners.  In addition to enhancing coordination and best practices, this workshop highlighted lessons learned and measures of effectiveness to bolster overall success of the SPP in the USAPACOM Area of Responsibility.
