SUBJECT: U.S.-BRUNEI DEFENSE DIALOGUE 
 
REF: STATE 00112900 
 
SUMMARY 
------- 
1. (SBU) The U.S. and Brunei conduct an annual defense dialogue via 
the Joint Defense Working Committee (JDWC).  The JDWC began in 1996 
and this year's host is U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM). Brunei 
participates in the annual Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training 
Exercise (CARAT) with the U.S. Military.  Brunei's military takes 
advantage of professional development and educational opportunities 
via the Asia Pacific Center for Security Studies (APCSS) and the 
U.S. Military Academies.  Brunei continues to expand its 
international peacekeeping role.  Operational and organizational 
limitations hinder a wider range of cooperative opportunities but 
the U.S. military, in conjunction with the U.S. embassy, continue to 
seek further engagement and dialogue with Brunei's military. The 
engagement is welcome if not always fully reciprocated. End 
Summary. 
 
 
JOINT DEFENSE WORKING COMMITTEE 
------------------------------- 
2.(SBU) US Pacific Command (PACOM), J52 Southeast Asia Policy 
Division and Brunei Defense Policy at the Ministry of Defense 
annually hold the Joint Defense Working Committee (JDWC). JDWC is an 
important avenue to discuss bilateral defense initiatives covering 
military training, exercises, personnel exchange and increasing 
information sharing.  The yearly meetings also serve as an important 
platform to explore new areas in bilateral defense cooperation. 
Hosting the JDWC rotates between the two nations' military and the 
2009 JDWC will be hosted by PACOM. Embassy is represented by DCM and 
Political Assistant. 
 
3.(SBU) Topics and initiatives that have been discussed at JDWC 
include; Brunei's participation as an observer at the ASEAN Regional 
Forum Voluntary Demonstration of Response (ARF VDR) on Disaster 
Relief co-hosted by the Philippines and U.S.; and Brunei 
participation in the UN Global Peacekeeping Operations Initiatives 
(GPOI) in Khaan Quest, Mongolia in 2007 and at Shanti Doot, 
Bangladesh in 2008.  Ongoing initiatives include; the signing of the 
ACSA (Acquisition Cross - Servicing Agreement), as well as the U.S. 
- Brunei Intelligence Exchange. 
 
 
CARAT 
-------- 
4.(SBU) The JDWC also includes discussion on new training components 
suggested to be included in the annual U.S. - Brunei military 
Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training Exercise (CARAT). 
COMLOGWESTPAC and Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) participated in 
CARAT.  Every year RBAF and COMLOGWESTPAC meet for the initial 
planning conference and final planning conference.  RBAF perceive 
CARAT as an excellent training platform. RBAF takes advantage of 
COMLOGWESTPAC assets in broadening its exercise scope to include 
vast majority of RBAF components including its new Joint Force 
Operation Center, as well as including Bruneian civilian law 
enforcement agencies.  RBAF and COMLOGWESTPAC also engage in the 
multilateral Southeast Asia Cooperation against Terrorism (SEACAT) 
exercise annually. 
 
 
TRAINING 
-------- 
5.(U) Brunei Ministry of Defense has been sending senior and 
mid-level personnel to the Asia Pacific Center for Security Studies 
(APCSS) annually as part of its orientation and training on Asia 
-Pacific region.  Today, Brunei has 52 APCSS alumni.  The Ministry 
has a keen interest in sending their cadets to U.S. military 
academies under the ministry's scholarship scheme.  One Brunei cadet 
graduated from West Point this year and there is one Brunei cadet 
currently at the U.S. Air Force Academy. 
 
 
COMMENT 
------- 
6. (SBU) The U.S. Military, in cooperation with Embassy, continue to 
seek further engagement with Brunei's military.  Organizational and 
cultural limitations hinder the ability of Brunei's military to 
respond in timely manner but the continued outreach by the USG is 
appreciated. Brunei is looking to expand their expertise in 
international peacekeeping operations. The U.S. Military's 
professionalism, training, and operational expertise is admired and 
appreciated by Brunei's military.
