Download or read book Defining the Navy s Future Role In Joint Warfare written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy documents, such as Joint Vision 2020 and Sea Power 21, have outlined the path to a truly joint environment. The role of the Joint Force Maritime Component Commander (JFMCC) is critical to the Navy's future in the joint maritime environment. However, the doctrine to support the construct for the JFMCC has been slow to develop while that of the Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) and the Joint Force Land Component Commander (JFLCC) has been defined and matured. In order to move forward, the role and realm of the JFMCC requires definition and direction. This will minimize seams among the air, land and sea component commanders. This process cannot be done with doctrine alone. Commanders must understand the unique culture of the Naval Service to overcome biases that can prevent true jointness. Through joint doctrine and joint education and training the role of the JFMCC can be solidified. In doing so, the Joint Force Commander will increase the effectiveness of his forces as unity of command is achieved and the component forces become a true joint force.

This book was released on 2005-01-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense is in the process of transforming the nation's armed forces to meet the military challenges of the 21st century. Currently, the opportunity exists to carry out experiments at individual and joint service levels to facilitate this transformation. Experimentation, which involves a spectrum of activities including analyses, war games, modeling and simulation, small focused experiments, and large field events among other things, provides the means to enhance naval and joint force development. To assist the Navy in this effort, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study to examine the role of experimentation in building future naval forces to operate in the joint environment. The NRC formed the Committee for the Role of Experimentation in Building Future Naval Forces to perform the study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The President and Secretary of Defense have directed the Department of Defense (DOD) to transform in order to meet an uncertain future and the unfolding challenges of the 21st Century domestic and international security environments. As the Armed Forces of the United States transform, they must develop a common frame of reference to define and develop future joint force concepts, capabilities, requirements, and Service-provided forces. The existing frames of reference for the joint force are joint doctrine and Joint Vision. Joint doctrine only provides a common frame of reference for the current joint force. It does not, however, address the development or experimentation of future concepts and capabilities that could improve joint force operations. The Joint Vision provides a broad future vision and construct for military transformation. However, it contains little actionable detail for joint force planning and development. Joint doctrine and Joint Vision together will provide a baseline to help focus the development and comparative analysis of emerging concepts, capabilities, requirements, and Service-provided forces that will be employed within future joint warfare and crisis resolution. At the focal point of US military transformation and implementation is the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC). The role of the JROC has evolved from a strictly materiel focus to a strategic integration role in the coevolution of joint doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) critical force considerations. As the crossroads for joint vision related requirements generation and development, the JROC currently must evaluate concepts, capabilities, architectures and requirements from each Service.

Download or read book Defining the Role of Airpower in Joint Missions written by Glenn A. Kent and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 1998 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stage is set for the emergence of a "new American way of war," in which U.S. forces are able to bring military power to bear against an enemy state quickly, comprehensively, decisively, and with minimal risk of heavy casualties. But some obstacles remain. These obstacles seem more budgetary and political than technical or operational. Some key programs are being abandoned or delayed because of the press of limited resources and competing demands. In this environment, it is imperative that the Air Force articulate in clear and compelling terms the potential contributions of airpower to joint operations. This is distinct from claiming "Air Force roles and missions." The approach offered here begins with a consideration of the basic characteristics of air forces and space forces, identifies the operational capabilities of these forces, and lists the missions and operational objectives to which these forces can contribute. By insisting that these missions and objectives be defined from the perspective of joint operations, this approach to doctrine positions the Air Force favorably to advance the role of its forces in the competition for roles within missions.

Download or read book C4ISR for Future Naval Strike Groups written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-05-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy has put forth a new construct for its strike forces that enables more effective forward deterrence and rapid response. A key aspect of this construct is the need for flexible, adaptive command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. To assist development of this capability, the Navy asked the NRC to examine C4ISR for carrier, expeditionary, and strike and missile defense strike groups, and for expeditionary strike forces. This report provides an assessment of C4ISR capabilities for each type of strike group; recommendations for C4ISR architecture for use in major combat operations; promising technology trends; and an examination of organizational improvements that can enable the recommended architecture.

Book excerpt: This paper is an analysis of Joint Vision 2010 (JV 2010), the recently published guidance for future joint warfare, and its implications on ... From The Sea and Forward ... From The Sea, the current naval strategic concept papers. The analysis will identify naval warfare imperatives relevant and integral to the success of JV 2010. JV 2010 was unveiled by General John M. Shalikashvili, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the summer of 1996. JV 2010 provides a conceptual template that guides the development of our nation's Armed Forces in meeting the challenges of 2010 and beyond. In JV 2010, the Chairman recognizes that highly trained joint forces, enabled by advances in technology, are essential to future warfare. ... From The Sea and Forward ... From The Sea, which preceded the Chairman's vision, also recognize the utility of integrated joint forces in future warfare. Naval forces have, however, oriented their focus on contributing to joint warfare by influencing events in and around the littorals and if necessary, by projecting combat power from the sea. In general, JV 2010 and the naval strategic concepts share a similar theme of dominating future adversaries across the full spectrum of military operations. Naval warfare imperatives, as defined in this paper, are those elements of future warfare implied by JV 2010 that are either unique to the naval service or need emphasis to equal the importance articulated in the vision. The imperatives identified in the paper are naval forward presence, sea control, sea basing, strategic sealift and joint education and training (emphasis needed). These elements are key to achieving the immediate, precise and decisive application of joint combat power articulated in JV 2010.

Download or read book Naval Blockades and Seapower written by Bruce A. Elleman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-04-11 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection of scholarly, readable, and up-to-date essays covers the most significant naval blockades of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Here the reader can find Napoleon’s Continental Blockade of England, the Anglo-American War of 1812, the Crimean War, the American Civil War, the first Sino-Japanese War 1894-95, the Spanish-American War, the First World War, the second Sino-Japanese War 1937-45, the Second World War in Europe and Asia, the Nationalist attempt to blockade the PRC, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, the British blockade of Rhodesia, the Falklands War, the Persian Gulf interdiction program, the PRC "missile" blockade of Taiwan in 1996, and finally Australia's recent "reverse" blockade to keep illegal aliens out of the country. The authors of each chapter address the causes of the blockade in question, its long and short-term repercussions, and the course of the blockade itself. More generally, they address the state of the literature, taking advantage of new research and new methodologies to provide something of value to both the specialist and non-specialist reader. Taken as a whole, this volume presents fresh insights into issues such as what a blockade is, why countries might choose them, which navies can and cannot make use of them, what responses lead to satisfactory or unsatisfactory conclusions, and how far-reaching their consequences tend to be. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of strategic studies, military history and maritime studies in particular.

Dombrowski and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though still adjusting to the end of the Cold War, the defense industry is now confronted with the prospect of military transformation. Since the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, many firms have seen business improve in response to the subsequent large increase in the defense budget. But in the longer run, the defense sector's military customers intend to reinvent themselves for a future that may require the acquisition of unfamiliar weapons and support systems. Joint and service visions of the military after next raise serious questions that require the attention of the Defense Department's civilian and uniformed leadership and industry executives alike: What are the defense industrial implications of military transformation? Will military transformation lead to major changes in the composition of the defense industrial base? This study employs network-centric warfare, a Navy transformation vision that is being adopted increasingly in the joint world as a vehicle for exploring the defense industrial implications of military transformation. We focus on three defense industrial sectors: shipbuilding, unmanned vehicles, and systems integration. The transformation to NCW will require both sustaining and disruptive innovation—that is, innovation that improves performance measured by existing standards and innovation that defines new quality metrics for defense systems. The dominant type of innovation needed to support transformation varies across industrial sectors; some sectors face more sustaining than disruptive innovation, while some sectors will need more disruptive than sustaining innovation as they supply systems for the “Navy after Next.” Military transformation does not entail wholesale defense industrial transformation. In the systems integrations sector, much of the innovation required to effect networkcentric warfare is likely to be sustaining rather than disruptive. In the parts of the defense industrial base that build platforms, on the other hand, the standards by which proposals are evaluated for the Navy after Next will be somewhat different than the standards used in the past. As a result, transformation could significantly change the industrial landscape of shipbuilding. The unmanned-vehicle sector falls somewhere in between; because unmanned vehicles have not been acquired in quantity in the past, their performance metrics are not well established. Existing suppliers of unmanned vehicles will have a role in the future industry, but some innovative concepts and technologies may come from nontraditional suppliers, such as start-up firms. The U.S. Navy bears the responsibility of transforming itself. Internally, it must find ways to deconflict the needs of the current Navy and the “Next Navy” from the needs of the Navy after Next if industry is to support its long-term transformation requirements. Externally, pervasive organizational and political obstacles to transformation require that the Navy carefully manage its relationships with Congress and industry. Recognition that military transformation need not drive existing defense firms out of business will facilitate that task.

Download or read book Composite Warfare Commander Doctrine in the Age of the Joint Task Force written by Richard A. Brown and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Forward ... From the Sea" defined the Navy's strategic concept for the 21st century as one in which naval forces, shaped for joint operations, will project power from the sea into the littoral regions of the globe. However, the Navy has not yet evolved its command and control doctrine to support its new strategic concept. The Composite Warfare Commander (CWC) doctrine, established to effectively manage blue water naval operations, continues to be the basis for Naval Command and Control in the littoral and joint environments. This doctrine does not, however, transition well into joint or combined operations nor does it adequately address command and control problems associated with a Navy-Marine Task Force, comprised of a Carrier Battle Group (CVBO) and an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), operating in the littoral. The development of a Joint Warfare Commander doctrine and the restructuring of the Navy-Marine Task Force command organization will retain the benefits of CWC, support the Navy's new strategic concept and allow the Navy-Marine Task Force to seamlessly transition to or establish a Joint Task Force.

Download or read book Commandant s Planning Guidance written by General David H. Berger and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commandant's Planning Guidance (CPG) provides the 38th Commandant's strategic direction for the Marine Corps and mirrors the function of the Secretary of Defense's Defense Planning Guidance (DPG). It serves as the authoritative document for Service-level planning and provides a common direction to the Marine Corps Total Force. It also serves as a road map describing where the Marine Corps is going and why; what the Marine Corps force development priorities are and are not; and, in some instances, how and when prescribed actions will be implemented. This CPG serves as my Commandant's Intent for the next four years. As Commandant Neller observed, "The Marine Corps is not organized, trained, equipped, or postured to meet the demands of the rapidly evolving future operating environment." I concur with his diagnosis. Significant change is required to ensure we are aligned with the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS) and DPG, and further, prepared to meet the demands of the Naval Fleet in executing current and emerging operational naval concepts. Effecting that change will be my top priority as your 38th Commandant. This CPG outlines my five priority focus areas: force design, warfighting, education and training, core values, and command and leadership. I will use these focal areas as logical lines of effort to frame my thinking, planning, and decision-making at Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC), as well as to communicate to our civilian leadership. This document explains how we will translate those focus areas into action with measurable outcomes. The institutional changes that follow this CPG will be based on a long-term view and singular focus on where we want the Marine Corps to be in the next 5-15 years, well beyond the tenure of any one Commandant, Presidential administration, or Congress. We cannot afford to retain outdated policies, doctrine, organizations, or force development strategies. The coming decade will be characterized by conflict, crisis, and rapid change - just as every decade preceding it. And despite our best efforts, history demonstrates that we will fail to accurately predict every conflict; will be surprised by an unforeseen crisis; and may be late to fully grasp the implications of rapid change around us. The Arab Spring, West African Ebola Outbreak, Scarborough Shoal standoff, Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine, and weaponization of social media are but a few recent examples illustrating the point. While we must accept an environment characterized by uncertainty, we cannot ignore strong signals of change nor be complacent when it comes to designing and preparing the force for the future. What is abundantly clear is that the future operating environment will place heavy demands on our Nation's Naval Services. Context and direction is clearly articulated in the NDS and DPG as well as testimony from our uniformed and civilian leadership. No further guidance is required; we are moving forward. The Marine Corps will be trained and equipped as a naval expeditionary force-in-readiness and prepared to operate inside actively contested maritime spaces in support of fleet operations. In crisis prevention and crisis response, the Fleet Marine Force - acting as an extension of the Fleet - will be first on the scene, first to help, first to contain a brewing crisis, and first to fight if required to do so. The Marine Corps will be the "force of choice" for the President, Secretary, and Combatant Commander - "a certain force for an uncertain world" as noted by Commandant Krulak. No matter what the crisis, our civilian leaders should always have one shared thought - Send in the Marines.
