1/ #FY23NDAA Senate SASC draft #S4543:
James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (NDAA)

2/ #FY23NDAA #S4543:
Sec 1072
SecDef "shall develop a Joint Concept for Competing" to "define the role of the US Armed Forces in long-term strategic competition with specific adversaries"

Good to get this concept less squishy.

@BDHerzinger @DEricSayers ImageImageImage
3/ #FY23NDAA #S4543 Sec 1252:
Sense of Congress on US defense alliances and partnerships in the IndoPacific region.

First part highlights previous statements by leadership.

1/ Probably the most exciting moment so far at #SLD22 is the 🇰🇭 Defense Minister discusses Ream Naval Base.

Finally, some (minor)🎇🎆🎇 Fireworks.

@graham_euan @Sharon__Seah @willschoong
2/ Wonder if he read @BDHerzinger's article:
"Washington Should Chill About China’s Cambodia Base"

@JackDetsch
foreignpolicy.com/2022/06/10/cam…
@BDHerzinger @JackDetsch 3/ 🇰🇭 Defence Minister addresses directly the several questiosn about Ream Naval Base.

"The base is built on 🇰🇭 own needs... Nothing more than enhancement of Royal Cambodian Navy."

1/ This report from 1988 is a really interesting read, esp thru lens of the geopolitical situation in 2021, regarding China-US competition.

@cgberube @cdrsalamander @lawofsea @JerryHendrixII @graham_euan @ElbridgeColby @Rory_Medcalf @BDHerzinger @mercoglianos @man_integrated
2/ This report is also interesting after listening to @Ng_Eng_Hen speech at #AspenSecurity, with his sweeping historical view, and quotes from Singapore's LKY on the nature of US and China.

3/ Seems that 1998 and 2021 have a lot in common.
