| Publisher Description: The ANZUS (Australia - New Zealand - United States) Treaty has evolved into a series of strong, individually bipartisan relationships. ANZUS Naval cooperation is a gold standard for other alliances to aspire. A recent shift in strategic attention to the Indo-Pacific region, the challenges posed by the Indo-Pacific, and financial restrictions on defense expenditures are shared concerns of each ANZUS nation and directly addressed within their overlapping national strategies. One possible solution is the US Navy Carrier Strike Group (CSG), but CSG's can be encumbered either by geographic factors related to world's oceans or threatening regional military systems. To adequately address the shared challenges of Indo-Pacific maritime threats, defense restrictions, and geographic limitations; a consolidated, integrated, and forward-deployed multinational maritime Carrier Task Force ought to be established at Fleet-Base West in Perth, Australia: The ANZUS Carrier Task Force. |
