Surabaya (ANTARA News) - Angkatan Laut Indonesia (TNI AL) dan Angkatan Laut Amerika (United States Navy atau USN) memulai Latihan Bersama (Latma) bersandi "Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) 2016" di Surabaya pada 2-8 Agustus 2016.

CARAT 2016 diawali dengan upacara pembukaan oleh Kasarmatim Laksma TNI Mintoro Yulianto yang mewakili Pangarmatim Laksda TNI Darwanto di auditorium Pusat Latihan Kapal Perang (Puslat Kaprang) Kolatarmatim, Ujung, Surabaya, Selasa.

"Latihan tahunan yang sudah berlangsung 22 kali itu untuk meningkatkan hubungan bilateral antara Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat, khususnya juga semakin mempererat persaudaraan antara AL Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat," kata Kasarmatim Laksma TNI Mintoro Yulianto.

Selain itu, katanya saat membacakan sambutan Asops KSAL Laksda TNI I.N.G.N. Ary Atmaja, AL Indonesia juga dapat menimba ilmu perang dan kemasyarakatan kepada AL Amerika yang tentunya akan disesuaikan dengan kondisi bangsa Indonesia.

"Dalam Latma itu, TNI AL akan menurunkan alutista terbarunya, di antaranya kapal perang Korvet Kelas Sigma, kapal perang fregat kelas Multi Role Light Fregrat (MRLF), dan KRI Kelas Landig Platform Dock (LPD). Selain juga, pesawat jenis CN dan helikopter terbaru yang dimiliki TNI AL," katanya.

Menurut Mintoro, hal itu untuk mengimbang alutsista yang dimiliki AL Amerika Serikat. Namun, Latma CARAT 2016 bukan menitikberatkan pada latihan perangnya semata, namun penanganan terorisme juga dikembangkan dalam Latma CARAT 2016.

"Ada yang lebih penting dari latihan perang, yaitu ilmu kemasyarakatan. Itu ilmu tentang komunikasi antarnegara. Itu penting karena kita harus berkomunikasi antarbangsa," katanya.

Dari pihak Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat, Laksda Brian S Hurley mengatakan pihaknya selama ini selalu mengutamakan keselamatan di laut. Tak hanya keselamatan di laut negaranya, melainkan juga di luar negeri.

Komandan Kelompok Logistik Barat Satgas 73 Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat ini juga mengakui bahwa CARAT 2016 bersama TNI AL kali ini lebih menitikberatkan pada ilmu kemasyarakatan antarbangsa.

"Kita dengar ada semacam perjanjian multilateral antara Malaysia, Filipina, dan Indonesia. Dalam kerja sama ini diajarkan komunikasi antar beberapa negara," katanya.

Dalam latihan ini, Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat membawa satu pesawat maritim multi-misi, modifikasi dari pesawat boing 737-800 ERX. Selain itu juga membawa dua kapal jenis ekspedisi cepat EPF.

Kapal yang terbuat dari aluminium ini dirancang untuk bisa beroperasi di perairan dangkal untuk memudahkan pengangkutan personel dan kargo, termasuk mendukung operasi global melawan terorisme.

CARAT 2016 akan dibagi dalam tiga tahap yaitu kegiatan di pangkalan pada 2-3 Agustus, dilanjutkan dengan manuvra lapangan (Manlap) pada 4-7 Agustus, kemudian evaluasi dan penutupan latihan pada 8 Agustus 2016.

Dalam latihan itu, TNI AL melibatkan unsur jajaran Koarmatim yang meliputi, KRI Usman Harun (USH)-359, KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda (SIM)-367, KRI Surabaya (SBY)-590, satu unit Pesawat Udara (Pesud) CN-235, satu unit Helly BO-105, dua unit Helly Bell-412, satu unit NC-212, satu pasukan Zeni (40 orang), satu pasukan Force Protection Detasemen (40 orang), dua pasukan Dive Teams (delapan orang/tim), 10 Personel Pelatihan EOD (Kopaska), dan satu unit Eastern Fleet Navy Band.

Dari pihak U.S. Navy melibatkan USS Spruance, USNS Montford Point, USNS Salvor, USNS Millinocket, satu unit P-8 Poseidon, satu unit NMCB Detachment, 17 orang NSWU (Naval Special Warfare Unit), 15 orang MDSU (Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit), delapan orang EOD (EODMU-5 Guam), satu pasukan Force Protection Detachment, satu pasukan Seventh Fleet Band, dan satu pasukan Mar Corps Band.

Do you have a common national identity in Indonesia? Is Indonesia a federal state?

Despite it's diversity and archipelagic nature, Indonesia is a Unitary State. We have common national identity as Indonesian. From 1928, our forefather have made a vow to unify Indonesia. One Country, One Nation, One language, Indonesia.

And long before that, Majapahit Kingdom of Java (the center of power in Indonesia today) even have greater territory that include Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and part of Philippine and Thailand. In it's glorious past, "ASEAN" (the core 6 member) was "Indonesia".

Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines Agree on Maritime ‘Hot Pursuit’

NUSA DUA, Indonesia—Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines agreed to allow each other’s maritime forces to pursue suspected criminals into their waters in a bid to stem a surge of hostage-takings by Islamic militants.

Defense ministers of the three Southeast Asian neighbors, meeting for the third time since May to give shape to plans for joint patrols in the waters off the southwestern Philippines, said Tuesday that they were discussing protocols that would allow security forces to enable so-called hot pursuit across land borders as well.

“We are still discussing that, because there are some constitutional hindrances,” Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana told reporters. “We still have to consult…if we will allow hot pursuit on land.”

Mr. Lorenzana and his counterparts, Ryamizard Ryacudu of Indonesia and Hishammuddin Hussein of Malaysia, said joint sea patrols already had begun but declined to say what kind of naval forces had been deployed or to provide other details.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo proposed joint patrols in late April after a surge in piracy and kidnappings of local seafarers and Westerners by the Abu Sayyaf militant group, which claims ties to Islamic State and is notorious for taking hostages for ransom and occasionally executing them. The group has defied more than a decade of eradication attempts by the U.S.-backed Philippine military.

In 2014, Abu Sayyaf freed two German hostages who had been taken from their yacht in the Sulu Sea. Neither the German nor Philippine governments confirmed whether a ransom was paid.

Since then, the group has abducted and in some instances released hostages from Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Canada, Norway and the Philippines. The militants beheaded one Canadian hostage in April this year and another in June when ransom deadlines expired.

In a press release Tuesday, Mr. Ryacudu suggested the patrols’ mandate ultimately could extend beyond countering militants to crimes such as human trafficking and drug trade.

Security experts said the patrols give a boost to Southeast Asia’s broader maritime interests, including in the disputed waters of the South China Sea. The Philippines and Malaysia both lay claim to areas of the sea, which is also claimed in almost its totality by China. Indonesia is meanwhile building up defense capabilities in waters where it says fisherman of China and other nations illegally fish.
