3. Balikatan 2011 Exercise Summary
Balikatan 2011 is a Republic of the Philippines-U.S. bilateral military humanitarian assistance and training exercise held in the Philippines. U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC), the Army Service Component Command in the U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) area of responsibility, is executive agent for Balikatan. About 6,000 U.S. service members will train with Armed Forces of the Philippines personnel during the joint bilateral exercise. Components of Balikatan include civil-military operations, field training exercises and a command post exercise. This was the 27th exercise in the Balikatan series and held under the auspices of the Mutual Defense Treaty and Visiting Forces Agreement.
Balikatan demonstrates USARPAC's ability to support multiple contingencies throughout the Pacific Theater. USARPAC's Contingency Command Post deployed from Fort Shafter, Hawaii, to validate its capability as a trained and ready team that can support Pacific-wide operations.
Bilateral training is vital to maintaining readiness capabilities for both the U.S. and Philippine armed forces. Balikatan sustains the long-term security assistance relationship between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States. Balikatan increases interoperability between military forces and enables them to provide relief and assistance in the event of natural disasters and other crises. The government of the Republic of the Philippines and the United States have a long relationship of working together. This partnership includes a 59-year-old Mutual Defense Treaty.

Full Spectrum Operations
First use of JTLS during a BK Command Post Exercise (CPX); simulation architecture included 8 JTLS workstations (Response Cells)
Artificial Terrain
Naval and Ground focus
8 JTLS workstations: BLUE SIDE (US and Phillipines) = Air, Land, and Sea (total of 6) and OPFOR x 2 workstations

Nathan Watanabe, chief of operations for the U.S. Army Pacific Contingency Command Post, speaks to his staff at the Combined Operations Integration Center floor at Clark Air Base, Philippines, March 31, The CCP was at Clark taking part in a certification exercise. The CCP is a deployable command post that focuses on small scale contingencies such as disaster relief, humanitarian assistance and peace operations throughout the Pacific.

5. Malinidos Scenario Peixe Grande Malinidos San Rafael Torres
UNCLASSIFIED
Malinidos Scenario
Peixe Grande
Malinidos
San Rafael
Torres
The Malinidos Scenario was created for BK09 to provide opportunities to exercise the Mutual Defense Board (MDB) CONPLAN. The scenario includes several fictitious islands in the Philippine Sea and Central Pacific. Torres is the northernmost of the Philippine Islands. San Rafael is sovereign territory of Malinidos to the east. Peixe Grande is the local power broker and a permanent member of the UN Security Council: support from Peixe Grande ensures there will be no UN resolution, leaving the Philippines and the US to deal with the situation bilaterally.
Malinidos moves significant forces into the area under cover of annual exercises on San Rafael. From San Rafael, Malinidos launches an invasion of Torres Island and replaces the Philippine government there. Large numbers of civilians flee into the countryside to escape the violence, and others are chased out of the cities by Malinido paramilitary units as part of an ethnic and political cleansing process.
There is also a small group if islands in between San Rafael and Torres whose ownership is in dispute.
The scenario supports major combat operations, HA/DR in makeshift camps, and insurgency/counter-insurgency operations on Torres Island, targeting on San Rafael, Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) between Torres and San Rafael, and between San Rafael and Malinidos, disputed territory issues between the islands, and other opportunities to address a variety of training objectives.

Aloha – we are glad to be here with all of you, and we would like to share how we have leveraged JTLS to support training in the Pacific, highlighting recent and ongoing exercise initiatives, PACOM sponsored JTLS Updates, Planned JTLS events (short term), and introduce you to a new M&S community, sponsored by USPACOM.

15. All Partners Access Network (APAN)
The All Partners Access Network (APAN) provides for effective information exchange and collaboration between the United States Department of Defense (DOD) and any external country, organization, agency or individual that does not have ready access to traditional DOD systems and networks. It enables professional networking and communication, increases situational awareness, establishes pre-defined communications channels, relationships and information work flows, and provides a forum for sharing lessons learned and best practices in a wide variety of contexts including crisis response, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and training and exercises.
Benefits include decreased response times, greater coordination, information transparency and broader cross-organizational knowledge visibility. While encouraging the open and easy exchange of information, APAN also seeks to ensure the protection of sensitive information like users’ identities and personal communications.
The All Partners Access Network history can be traced back to 1997 when the Virtual Information Center (VIC) was established with the mission of conducting research using public domain materials for the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) and his staff.  Admiral Dennis C. Blair, then Commander of USPACOM, recognized the value of utilizing the same type of web-based technology used in the VIC to help meet his regional security cooperation initiatives.
In March 2000, the Asia-Pacific Area Network, a non-dot-mil (non-military) commercial internet portal, was stood up to enable online communication and information sharing.  Over the years, APAN’s mission has grown to support global Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief HA/DR operations, partnership building, joint exercises, conferences, table-top events, and are currently at the crossroad to becoming an Enterprise DOD Unclassified Information Sharing Program.
In response to APAN’s expanding global customer base, in February 2010, APAN was renamed the All Partners Access Network.  APAN's unique organizational culture based on innovation, resourcefulness and customer service has made it a leader in unclassified information sharing and collaboration throughout the DOD.
