General Comments on Maritime Strategy Web Editor The Maritime Strategy We Need -- Armed Forces Journal June 2007 By CDR JOHN PATCH
Strategy formulation requires an in-depth assessment of history, theory, future capabilities and threats, national policy, and the realities of international relations. Analyses of the post-Cold War American experience reveal trends relevant to maritime strategy....
General Comments on Maritime Strategy Web Editor Seapower: The Next Generation An article published in the March 2007 Marine Corps GAZETTE (containig ideas which are now are in the public domain) suggests items for consideration for inclusion in the US Navy's Maritime Strategy. By CAPT Marcus J. Fisk USNR/CAPT J. Lee Johnson USN (Ret) Reprinted courtesy of the Marine Corps Gazette. Copyright...
Specific Major Areas of Concern jan breemer I have not seen any reactions to my posting of February 2,which suggests that the Navy, in developing its new maritime strategy, consider the strategic, military, economic, etc., etc. implications of climate change. I cited the February 2, 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Perhaps today's unveiling of the IPPC's...
Maritime Security: Questions for a New Era Victor N. Corpus China successfully tested an anti-satellite missile last January 11, 2007. If China can hit an object 1.5 meters in diameter traveling is outer space at 28,000 kph with a modified DF21 medium range ballistic missile; more so can a similar type of missile hit a huge aircraft carrier travelling at snail- pace over water 2,500 km away. This is a food...
What I Believe: 8 Tenets That Guide My Vision for the 21st C Navy Osher Doctorow Ph.D. The ideas of strike (as in Sea Strike), shield (as in Sea Shield), basing (as in Sea Basing) are central to Naval strategy, and arguably to all self-defense in the form of attack, stance or position, blocking or avoiding. Attack, however, has advantages over the other two types, in fostering a stronger way of thinking and action and that includes...
Specific Major Areas of Concern jan s breemer There seems to be a lull in the discussion, so I thought I'd try and liven things up a bit by raising the issue of climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IGPP) today released its 21-pp report. Conclusions include the prediction that temperatures this century will go up 3.2-7.1 degrees fahrenheit and that sea levels will...
General Comments on Maritime Strategy LCDR Matthew Weber Maritime strategy, at its core, is very simple. Protect the nation's economic wealth generated through maritime trade, protect our use of the maritime lines of communication for our military, and project power from the maritime domain in support of land efforts once the first two priorities are accomplished. Conversly, you have to deny your...
General Comments on Maritime Strategy CAPT Bill Hocter MC USN I think that the public lacks understanding and appreciation of the economic impact the Navy exerts worldwide by securing shipping lanes for international trade. I'm not an economist, and so not qualified to perform technical analysis of this sort, but the Navy could do itself a big favor by funding a renowned economist to do such a study. For...
Core Questions on Maritime Strategy Nathan A. Miller I don’t believe there is any incongruity by not specifically mentioning the CoComs in these discussions. Ultimately the Navy is responsible to assess our core competencies and provide the most relevant capabilities to the Combatant Commanders. I do think that the CoComs need to have significant input to the process (and, as I recall from earlier...
Maritime Security: Questions for a New Era Victor N. Corpus In rethinking maritime strategy, please consider the following:
1. The adversaries'capability to conduct anti-satellite operations and use of long-range anti-radiation missiles that can temporarily "blind", "mute", or "decapitate" aircraft carrier battle groups. A number of countries already possess such capabilities.
2. Some variants of the...
