Abstract
Abstract : During the past two years changes in policy and in Theater Campaign Plan development methodology altered the concept of theater security cooperation, or shaping. Shaping activities are now deliberate, focused components of integrated plans aimed at achieving specific U.S. objectives. This paper demonstrates how U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) resourcefully arranges and adapts military engagement activities with Indonesia to realize comprehensive and sustained military reform that supports U.S. objectives. The background portion of the paper discusses U.S. strategic interests in Indonesia, provides a synopsis of relevant Indonesian military factors, and describes how U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. Department of State (DoS) objectives are derived and synchronized. A comparative analysis of selections from the USPACOM Indonesia country plan and the U.S. Embassy's Indonesia Mission Strategic Plan (MSP) demonstrates the linkage between objectives and how military engagements support them. Further analysis illustrates how military engagement activities are arranged, focused and adapted to support important and lasting improvement within the Indonesian military. The conclusion explores implications derived from the analysis and provides recommendations.
