150 Fellows complete APOC 15-2
|
Gaining an expanded perception of regional security issues, 150 professionals completed Asia-Pacific Orientation Course 15-2 June 26 at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies. Attendees gained an analysis of factors impacting regional security, specifically looking at factors within multiple sub-regions such as Oceania, Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia and South Asia. "Given the size and complexity of the region, and its increasing interconnectedness, it’s critical that security practitioners in this domain are able to understand current and future security challenges,” said APOC course manager Cmdr. Alan Chace. This is especially true, he said, in light of the region's ever evolving security environment. APOC is a five-day course designed to provide an overview of regional trends in the socio-economic, political, defense, health and environmental arenas that drive the Asia-Pacific security environment.
