U.S.–INDONESIA MARITIME SECURITY COOPERATION: EXERCISE CARAT, 2018–2024
Abstract
dc:description.abstractU.S.–China competition has led to the United States to pivot its interests to the Indo-Pacific and a change in policy that emphasizes U.S. security cooperation with its allies and partners. This thesis evaluates U.S. naval security cooperation efforts with Indonesia and determines its impact on enhancing capability and interoperability. By analyzing U.S.–Indonesia Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) exercises from 2018 to 2024, it is determined that capability and interoperability have increased. Over this period, the size and scope of CARAT exercises have steadily expanded, becoming more complex and robust with the introduction of new technology and integration of forces. The Indo-Pacific is a dynamic region and results from this analysis can provide the United States with valuable insight into the status of U.S. interests, U.S.–Indonesia security cooperation, and the regional security environment.
