Book excerpt: The world economy is growing more reliant on the volume and security of traffic in the maritime straits. Given the expanding role of asymmetric warfare in littoral sea control and the growing importance of strait integrity in the global economy, understanding the intricacies of operational factors in straits is vital to the Commander's employment of sound Operational Art. This paper examines operational factors as they pertain to the uniqueness of maritime straits. The peculiarities of strait closure and resulting drastic effects in the modern global economy must be examined thoroughly in the Space-Force-Time construct to understand the power balance vital to maintaining sea-lines of communication and maritime interests of the United States and its allies. Due to the speed at which some straits can be closed and the resulting global effects, the only guarantor of integrity in those straits is to preemptively strike a belligerent's forces. If this thesis is correct, a new array of difficult problems is revealed. The timeline from actionable intelligence to a belligerent's effective strait closure is very short, if it even exists. The time that is available is not sufficient for debating reactionary plans or new course of action (COA) development. But the decision to preemptively strike may result in many unintended consequences, the most likely -- war. The two extremes: reacting to strait closure and employing a preemptive-strike leave the combatant commander few middle-ground alternatives. A case study focuses on current day Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, the paper recommends a combatant commander review and revision of courses of action under an Operational Art lens, focused through the Space-Time-Force analysis provided.

Book excerpt: In Maritime Power and the Law of the Sea: Expeditionary Operations in World Politics, Commander James Kraska analyzes the evolving rules governing freedom of the seas and their impact on expeditionary operations in the littoral, near-shore coastal zone. Coastal state practice and international law are developing in ways that restrict naval access to the littorals and associated coastal communities and inshore regions that have become the fulcrum of world geopolitics. Consequently, the ability of naval forces to project expeditionary power throughout semi-enclosed seas, exclusive economic zones (EEZs) and along the important sea-shore interface is diminishing and, as a result, limiting strategic access and freedom of action where it is most needed. Commander Kraska describes how control of the global commons, coupled with new approaches to sea power and expeditionary force projection, has given the United States and its allies the ability to assert overwhelming sea power to nearly any area of the globe. But as the law of the sea gravitates away from a classic liberal order of the oceans, naval forces are finding it more challenging to accomplish the spectrum of maritime missions in the coastal littorals, including forward presence, power projection, deterrence, humanitarian assistance and sea control. The developing legal order of the oceans fuses diplomacy, strategy and international law to directly challenge unimpeded access to coastal areas, with profound implications for American grand strategy and world politics.

Download or read book Operational Art in the Littorals written by Robert L Hayes (III.) and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of the Navy's white paper, ' ... From the Sea' must unmistakably be viewed as a viable warfighting doctrine, requiring studied application of operational art. Nevertheless, little has been written concerning the application of maritime operational art to the naval services' new concept. Naval service officers, who doubtless will function as 'firemen' in a crisis response situation, and as members of a Joint Task Force or joint force for more sustained operations, must clearly understand the operational level of war, and how to apply operational art. To assist in operational conceptualization, four key questions are employed as a general framework. Other valuable concepts of operational design are centers of gravity, decisive points, culmination, commander's intent, and operational fires all synthesized under the genre of the naval campaign. The Marianas campaign, conducted in the Pacific during World War II, is a classic model of a naval campaign which integrated air, land, and sea forces, and which embodied virtually all of the tenets of the operational art, and is instructive to today's Navy and Marine Corps officers. Moreover, other valuable aspects of modern operational design are useful: the commander's estimate, the campaign plan, the focus of main effort, and the use of operational fires and the maritime manifestation of maneuver warfare, Operational Maneuver From The Sea. As the naval service has proclaimed intent and ability to support national interests in the littorals, mastery of the operational art is vital. Need for operational art, Operational art defined, Historical analysis, Modern framework.
Download or read book Operational Art Some Principles of Maritime Strategy and the Operational Employment of the U S Army s Objective Force written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is about theory and the use of theory to develop doctrine. In light of the dramatic capabilities envisioned for the 'Objective Force', the organized U.S. military mechanism of physical coercion, and the dynamic operational environment that characterizes the world of 2002, land and naval theory is examined, investigated and analyzed. A common perception is that maritime strategy and land strategy exist in discrete and separate spheres of knowledge. However, closer analysis demonstrates that they do not exist as independent areas of study, rather, they are merely divisions in the overall art of war. To develop and illustrate this concept, a general overview of the future threat/operational environment and the proposed characteristics and capabilities of the U.S. Army's Objective Force are presented. Manifest from this description of the Objective Force and the future threat, an apparent analogy between the Objective Force and a naval force becomes evident, even while it is increasingly apparent that technological advances are blurring the traditional distinctions between the divisions in the art of war between land, sea and air warfare. The functional divisions are becoming less distinct, increasingly interrelated and integrated.

Download or read book Navigating Straits written by David D. Caron and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of straits, particularly those used in international navigation, has been long recognized in international law. One of the important debates during the Third United Nations Law of the Sea Conference concerned the regime of passage through straits used in international navigation. The result was the creation of a multi-tiered legal framework of passage that included the entirely a new “transit passage” regime. Although over thirty years have passed since the adoption of the 1982 United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea, the vital role played by straits in the global communications network continues to be surrounded by conflicts between the interests of coastal states and shipping. Challenges still exist to achieving the simultaneous global goals of secure passage of vessels and protection of the marine environment. In Navigating Straits: Challenges for International Law, internationally recognized international law scholars provide in-depth analysis of the legal challenges in straits concerning security, piracy, safety and environmental protection. All readers interested in international and law of the sea will find this seminal volume of interest.

Download or read book The Legal Regime of Straits written by Hugo Caminos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right of transit passage in straits and the analogous right of archipelagic sealanes passage in archipelagic states, negotiated in the 1970s and embodied in the 1982 UNCLOS, sought to approximate the freedom of navigation and overflight while expressly recognising the sovereignty or jurisdiction of the coastal state over the waters concerned. However, the allocation of rights and duties of the coastal state and third states is open to interpretation. Recent developments in state practice, such as Australia's requirement of compulsory pilotage in the Torres Strait, the bridge across the Great Belt and the proposals for a bridge across the Strait of Messina, the enhanced environmental standards applicable in the Strait of Bonifacio and Canada's claims over the Arctic Route, make it necessary to reassess the whole common law of straits. The Legal Regime of Straits examines the complex relationship between the coastal state and the international community.
