Lessons from U.S. Allies in Security Cooperation with Third Countries: The Cases of Australia, France, and the United Kingdom (original) (raw)

Abstract

: The U.S. Air Force (USAF) and its allies have a long history of working with partner countries in the context of security cooperation as a means of building the defense capacity of the countries, maintaining and acquiring access to foreign territories for operational purposes, promoting economic and cultural ties, and strengthening relationships with partner air forces and fostering mutual security-related benefits. USAF conducts a host of activities with partner air forces around the world, including training, equipping, and field exercising, and facilitating other, less tangible activities, such as bilateral staff talks, workshops, conferences, tabletop exercises, and professional military education.

  16. This term, major non-NATO U.S. ally, is a formal status in U.S. law (10 U.S. Code, Section 2350a, 1989). Along with Egypt, Israel, Japan, and South Korea, Australia was one of the first countries to receive this designation. This status confers a variety of benefits, including research and development initiatives, preferred status for receiving surplus materiel, certain counterterrorism initiatives, and expedited export processing for particular technologies and training.

  37. Both DCSD and the EMA are involved in leading and funding RECAMP. RECAMP activities cover three domains of support: individual education, collective training, and opera- tional support, which it combines with three levels of action (leadership, operational, and tacti- cal) (see Figure 3.2). RECAMP also includes exercises, which are organized in a series of two-year cycles. Each cycle comprises three phases: a political-military seminar on a crisis situation, a staff exercise simulating decisionmaking processes and responses to the crisis defined in Phase 1, and a large-scale field exercise designed to implement and test the decisions made during Phase 2. 145 RECAMP works in coordination with the AU and focuses on subregions: ECOWAS for RECAMP I (1996-1998) and RECAMP IV (2003-2005); Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) for RECAMP II (1998-2000) and RECAMP V (2005-2007); and SADC for RECAMP III (2000-2002). 146 Over the past few years, France has attempted to reduce its unilateral military commit- ment in Africa and to increase the involvement of the EU and, other partners, in the evo- lution of the RECAMP program. Since 2008, the EU funds and manages the training at the strategic level of the AU crisis management cell in Addis Ababa under the name Amani Africa (EURORECAMP), 147 while France remains in charge of operational and tactical train- ing under the original RECAMP name (see Figure 3.
