Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia, all hold potential as partners in the region to check arbitrary power with both an information-rich and rules-based counterweight. Washington needs to better harness cooperation between its armed forces, the Coast Guard, law enforcement, as well as civilian and commercial entities involved in the free and open flow of maritime traffic.
Joint coast guard exercises in this region, backed by nations with established fleets like Japan and Australia, can also improve enforcement of international maritime norms. There is potential in developing cooperation in maritime activities such as search and rescue operations and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations together. The primary purpose of a new maritime task force would not replicate the law enforcement and anti-piracy patrols already in existence.
Instead, it would offer a bulwark against further militarization of the South China Sea and other potentially unlawful activities. China would also be welcome upon acceptance of the rules set by the task force, which could incentivize better behavior and cooperation. Furthermore, the task force could help to enforce an eventual Code of Conduct for the South China Sea.
The opposite is true. In contrast, the U. These four steps are not a substitute for a comprehensive Indo-Pacific strategy. But collectively, these steps could be the beginning of a stronger network of partners and provide the means of preventing any single nation from unilaterally determining the rules for the world heading into the 21st century.

Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Very slow - from start to finish. I am not even sure why I bothered to finish. None of the characters are particularly interesting.
One person found this helpful. I had high hopes about this book from reading the synopsis.
Terrorists, mayhem, infrastructure down, all concepts which piqued my interest, but really? A third of the book to tell about some stupid 4th of July party that had a bunch of drunken retards attending?
A foul mouthed, overly aggressive main character I just cannot relate to. This book had no redeeming value in my opinion. I certainly would not recommend. I found this new author fantastic and his book running along the same parallel as the Out of the Ashes series by William Johnstone. It was riveting and I can't wait to see the next book in the series. What a great story!
It sure gets you thinking about "what would I do"? The characters were awesome. Being from the Northwest, I very much liked the setting for the story.

Get this book - you won't regret it. Exciting story and great plot. A foreboding warning about possible disaster. It was out of my normal genre but This book came highly recommended.
It was out of my normal genre but I am so glad to have found this author. I found the story line and characters to be well developed and interesting. It kept me riveted. The story was a bit apocalyptic gives one pause to consider "what if". This author can hold his own with Cormac McCarthy. I want to read more from this author.
