,the ,asia-,pacific region is home to the world's three largest economies1 four most populous countries1 and five largest militaries4 ,the ,asia-,pacific's rapid economic growth and mounting security tensions require a renewed focus from the ,united ,states on the region to maintain security1 expand prosperity1 and support common values4 7#c7 ,in #bjaa1 ,president ,barack ,obama announced that the ,united ,states would rebalance to the ,asia-,pacific4 ,since then1 there have been a number of actions taken to strengthen the ,united ,states posture and relationships in the region1 including the

challenges4 ,these include ,china's military modernization and its increasingly assertive actions in the ,east and ,south ,china ,sea and ,north ,korea's continued belligerence and its pursuit of

think has declined and continues to decline'''we rely very heavily on power projection1 which means we have to be able to get the forces forward'''4 ,admiral ,locklear also noted1 ,any significant force structure moves out of my ,,aor in the middle of a rebalance would have to be understood and have to be explained because it would counterintuitive to a rebalance to move significant forces in another direction4 7b7 ,sense of ,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that-- 7#a7 in order to maintain the credibility of the ,united ,states rebalance1 it is vital that the ,united ,states continue to shift forces to the ,asia-,pacific region to strengthen the ability of the ,united ,states ,armed ,forces to project power to shape the choices of regional states and to deter1 and if necessary defend1 against hostile military actions2 7#b7 ,united ,states allies and partners in the ,asia-,pacific region1 as well as potential adversaries1 would take note of any withdrawal of forces from the ,asia-,pacific theater2 7#c7 any withdrawal of ,united ,states forces from ,outside the ,continental ,united ,states 7,,oconus7 ,asia-,pacific region or from ,united ,states ,pacific ,command would therefore seriously undermine the rebalance2 and 7#d7 in order to properly implement ,united ,states rebalance policy1 ,united ,states forces under the operational control of the ,united ,states ,pacific ,command should be increased consistent with commitments already made by the ,department of ,defense and aligned with the requirement to maintain a balance of military power that favors the

necessary to enable ,taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense2 7#b7 the ,united ,states should continue to support the efforts of ,taiwan to integrate innovative and asymmetric measures to balance the growing military capabilities of the ,people's ,republic of ,china1 including fast-attack craft1 coastal-defense cruise missiles1 rapid-runway repair systems1 offensive mines1 and submarines optimized for defense of the ,taiwan straits2 7#c7 the military forces of ,taiwan should be permitted to participate in bilateral training activities hosted by the ,united ,states that increase
