| Summary/Abstract |
In the Indian context, the Parachute Brigade, being the only formation of its kind available nationally, has performed the dual role of being a strategic reserve tasked for conventional operations, and also that of acting as a rapid reaction force capable of intervention/forced entry in OOAC as was carried out during Op Cactus in the Maldives in 1988. This latter role has subsequently gained in importance due to the nuclearisation of the subcontinent and the substantial reduction in operational battle space that resulted, and also because ot our increasing economic and geo-political clout in the region. Thus, we have created a unique beast, neither Ranger nor Airborne; a potent mix that fulfills both its roles in our area of influence and that has, over the years, met our requirements admirably.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article challenges the prevailing view that China is displacing Japan as Asia's leader and the pre-eminent power in Asia. On the contrary, it argues that in understanding the future of Northeast Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific, it would be a mistake to look only to a rising China and to relegate Japan to a diminishing position. China's rise does not automatically herald Japan's decline. Japan is an emerging, not a retreating power. The rise of China is both obscuring and accelerating the transformation in Japan's regional and global position. Japan is increasing its economic power, technological capabilities, military reach, soft power and diplomatic influence. Furthermore, the rise of China makes Japan strategically more important to the United States and to other countries in the Asia Pacific. Japan will become the main regional counterweight to China and an indispensable partner in America's strategy of balancing China.
