Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, answers questions at a press conference aboard the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS Anchorage (LPD 23). Anchorage is in port training with Marines from the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force where it also hosted a portion of this year's Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) defense conference. This is the first meeting of its kind to take place in the United States and provides an opportunity for defense leaders to discuss a shared vision for a dynamic, peaceful, and secure future for the ASEAN region.
