@hilton_ctwh Singapore has created a virtuous cycle in regional security, where the SAF is seen as a partner, by the TNI.
The larger scale of Super Garuda Shield with the US, & extended participation of partners, like Australia, Japan & Singapore, is a “calculated decision” by Jakarta.

@hilton_ctwh The hostile bilateral relationship between Taipei & Beijing has created a security dilemma or vicious cycle in great power relations that alarms Jakarta & her close partners (at #supergarudashield); which is expressed clearly by the Australian Foreign minister below.
@hilton_ctwh As Senator Wong said: “Australia does not want to see any unilateral change to the status quo...”
Likewise Australia, Japan, Indonesia & Singapore have no desire to rock the boat & create a vicious cycle. To hedge it’s risks, Japan is building ties with Singapore & others.

Aloha - alas for the last time - Twitter: Day 5 #RIMPAC2022. Official press conference, started with condolences to Japan for the tragic loss of former PM Abe. A thread about partners, carriers, unmanned surface combatants, and the brilliant HMAS Canberra. 
Partners as a narrative of operational effectiveness. Over the past few days senior commanders, officers, have all constantly pointed out the importance of developing partners interoperability. With 26 nations and more than 25k personnel that is a considerable task.
The press conference reinforced these points and seeing senior and flag officers from different nations with a Philippine and Korean warships in the background helped delivering the point, only somewhat let down by the comments and answers being provided only by USN hosts.
Evening Twitter. Day 4, #RIMPAC2022 - Part II: RIMPAC is more than just a naval exercise, today’s thread is about amphibious stuff, military vocabulary, the different meanings of success, and my specific RIMPAC cap. And yes, I’m using an actual notebook, courtesy of @c21st_sailor
Today, courtesy of media team, we enjoyed a very good visit on USS Essex (LHD-2). This is an amphibious ship which is coming at the end of a good deployment and the ship had all the marks of an asset that has been at work for quite sometime. Still, it’s now here ready to play.
An amphib ship is a complex piece of kit that reminds us how maritime ops aren’t just about the navy, the marines are central to the maritime story and RIMPAC showcases that at different levels:
A. Integrating different nations in harbour phase to learn about each other;

Aloha Twitter. Day 3 #RIMPAC2022 experience: today it was partners focus for me. I promised yesterday more on the exercise and some pretty pics and hopefully I won’t disappoint you. A thread on the largest multilateral exercise in the Indo-Pacific and what it means for partners:
1. An inclusive framework. From a Euro Atlantic perspective, informed by NATO formats for exercises, RIMPAC is less scripted, has different components, and a rather ‘tailor to your needs’ approach. This might sound like a constraint, but it is in fact a key element of appeal:
RIMPAC is inclusive as a framework as it allows different national objectives to find their affirmation.
2. A honing the skills opportunity. Whether because of its scale, its large number of participants, or indeed the diverse training opportunities, RIMPAC has great value.

Ñ tinha visto, mas vi comentado no FB: como é q @RTPNoticias passa 1m15s a ilustrar cerco a #Mariupol e guerra na #Ucrânia com imagens do exército alemão num exercício da @NATO em 2017, em Pabrade, #Lituânia? Bastava #verificar (deixo apenas 1 exemplo): archive.ph/kOfr0
