A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower
has been published
This new unified maritime
strategy has been jointly developed by the maritime forces of
the United States—the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
It focuses on
Security, Stability and Seapower.
Objective of this site
This site supports the New
Maritime Strategy development process to
Collect Inputs and Analyze the Strategic Environment.
(About) The challenges of an evolving global security environment require a
strategy developed through an inclusive competition of ideas. To
help foster that competition this website will provide:
- A resource for
stimulating thought on the elements of a revised maritime strategy
- An open forum for sharing thoughts
and defining challenges presented by the future maritime environment
- An effort to answer
some fundamental questions that will shape strategic
thought:
- What are the current roles of
maritime forces?
- How might future challenges change
those roles?
- How might sea power influence history
in our time?
- What are the Organizing Principles for
Global Maritime Security?
The Process
To develop this new Maritime Strategy the
Navy will follow some specific business rules:
-
Stimulate a broadly inclusive
competition of ideas
-
Adopt a flat approach with wide participation
-
Provide an accessible archive of ideas, input
and resources
-
Use a rigorous process with a clear audit trail
- Ensure transparency, objectivity and free
communication
This website provides a forum to support the
objectives of these rules. More about the development
process can be found in the continuing series of
Maritime Strategy Update
and Maritime Strategy Task
Force memos. Also see
updates on the process.

Where the old Maritime Strategy focused on sea
control, the new one must recognize that the economic tide of all
nations rises – not when the seas are controlled by one – but rather
when they are made safe and free for all. Today, the globalization
of the world economy is truly an engine of hope for our children,
for all people.

Global, national and self-interests begin to
converge. Like the Truman era, we need to set in place a new
framework that comports to today’s realities, trends,
vulnerabilities and opportunities. Speed, agility,
adaptability are essential institutional characteristics for today –
not just military characteristics for 21st Century.

The new strategic environment may require a change
in the shape and focus of our maritime forces, as well as an expansion of
responsibility to include organizations not normally associated with the
maritime domain. This necessary change will drive a new balance – one between
traditional combat capability required to assure, deter, dissuade and defeat
conventional threats, and the forces and operations required to ensure domain
awareness, defeat terrorism at sea and secure the American homeland.
