Indonesia and the United States are building a new maritime training center. Importantly it will be built at the strategic meeting point of the Malacca Strait and the South China Sea. The moves seem to be designed to counter China’s increasing aggression in the region. Construction has begun on the $3.5 million center on Indonesia’s island of Batam which is located at the southern entrance to the strategic Straits of Malacca. The center is a collaborative effort between Bakamla – the Indonesia Maritime Security Agency – U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Embassy International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Office and U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command. Reports state that it will be owned and operated by Bakamla with the assistance of the U.S. While the target completion date has not been announced, but it is expected that the work will be done at a brisk pace. In this video Defense Updates analyzes how the U.S has got a new foothold in the South China Sea region? .
