Strategic Areas of Concern
Strategic Areas of Concern
Indonesia is the most populous Muslim and 4 th most populous country in
the world. With visits by the President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of
State, and numerous visits by military officials including the CJCS, CNO,
PACOM, 7th Fleet, and COMLOG, in the past year Indonesia is becoming
increasingly important to the United States.
All of these visitors have pledged increased military support, assistance,
and coordination with host country military. This has already and will
continue to increase port visits to Indonesia and result in more exercises
with Indonesia TNI-AL (NAVY) such as NEA and CARAT in the future.
These visits and pledges are a result of the United States lifting of
sanctions and weapons embargos on Indonesia due to human rights
violations. Some areas of the Indonesian government and TNI are still
hesitant and sometimes defiant of the U.S. assistance/cooperation.
Logistics concerns here are often in the area of importation and customs
clearance because there is no Status Of Forces Agreement with Indonesia
and excessive corruption.
