| Summary/Abstract |
Formal and informal modifications to the US-Japan Alliance have expanded the value the Alliance operational structure delivers in support of US and Japanese national and combined naval activities in Southeast Asia. This article analyzes how the Alliance now serves as an increasingly powerful force multiplier which magnifies the capabilities, efficiency, and impact of the two allies’ naval activities in Southeast Asia. Unlike previous studies on the role of the United States or Japan in the region, it focuses on the evolving functionality of the Alliance operational structure. The article systematically discusses how the evolving nature of the Alliance operational structure is enabling it to provide expanded support for Southeast Asian maritime security in five areas: basing, combined operations, partnerships and access, extra-regional coordination, and cooperative capacity-building. Those evaluations enable discussions of prospects for US and Japanese initiatives in Southeast Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
Japan has included improvement of Southeast Asian maritime security as an aim of its foreign policy for the last fifty years. This article analyzes the evolution of Japan’s maritime security initiatives in Southeast Asia by documenting major events and offering new insights into the most important inflection points associated with that history. Unlike previous accounts that portray this history as a matter of gradual change, it demonstrates that Japan’s initiatives passed through three distinct phases (1969–1998, 1999–2009, and 2010-present) with the shifts between each being marked by quick expansions of the Japanese agencies and partner organizations involved. This history provides critical context for understanding Japan’s apparent transition into a fourth phase in which Japanese cooperative activities will begin working to strengthen Southeast Asian military capacities.

| Summary/Abstract |
The US policy community has been taking note of the UK’s ‘tilt’ toward the Indo-Pacific since before their British counterparts referred to it as such. UK contributions to the region were first valued by Americans focused on Pacific naval dynamics, and a broader section of the security community has developed a similar appreciation. However, some Americans continue to doubt the tilt’s sustainability and strategic viability, especially due to the dangers associated with spreading the US–UK alliance too thinly with regard to the huge challenges lurking elsewhere. John F Bradford provides an analytical history of US perspectives and expectations regarding the UK’s growing Indo-Pacific role.
