    Abstract

    On 30th May, United States Secretary of Defence James Mattis announced during a change of command ceremony in Pearl Harbour, Hawaii that the United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) would be renamed the United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM). According to Secretary Mattis, the name change was done in recognition that “all nations large and small are essential to the region, in order to sustain stability in ocean areas critical to global peace.” The renaming exercise would also recognise the increasing connectivity of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The name change, although symbolic, is the clearest sign of the growing importance of the Indo-Pacific arena to the United States.

    In this lecture, RDML Joey Tynch will share his thoughts and insights on the engagements that the United States Navy conducts with partner nations throughout the South/ South-east Asia region and the importance placed on deepening these relationships through the vital mission set of Task Force 73 as well as Destroyer Squadron 7.
