Jul 27, 2021 · Naval forces in a supporting role? The conclusion from Dunigan et.al postulates that naval forces play a supporting role and the question is if this is also a representation that is visible in the contemporary maritime doctrines. A commonality in all three maritime doctrines is the emphasis placed on the need for joint operations.

has “strategic utility” in that it can play a role across all spectrums of DIME, and it provides political freedom of manoeuvre as warships can swing between roles and postures as circumstances arise or conflicts evolve.8 Currently, naval operations are primarily thought of in a multinational context as

In his book How Navies Fight, Frank Uhlig categorizes the “ways” of naval warfare in five bins:3 • Strategic movement and support of armies and air forces • Acquisition of advanced bases • Landing forces on a hostile shore • Conducting blockades • Mastering the local sea Captain Wayne Hughes described four tasks of naval operations: • Ensuring the ...
Using a fleet against another fleet to influence sea lines of communication is traditionally binned in three categories: decisive sea battle, blockade, and fleet-in-being. The battles of Midway, Tsushima, and Trafalgar are all classic examples of fleet-on-fleet sea battles denying adversaries’ operational plans or settling the dispute on which side...
In a mid-Pacific decisive at-sea battle involving only the combatants’ sea-based aircraft, ships, and submarines in a massive salvo exchange, the U.S. Navy would likely be the victor over the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). But even in such conditions, it might be a pyrrhic victory as U.S. losses probably could not be reconstituted as rapidly...
The seven-month World War II battle for Guadalcanal is a superb example of fleets battling each other and shore forces to achieve advanced bases from which to further project maritime and air power. The July 1942 discovery of Japanese airfield construction on Guadalcanal refocused and accelerated the planning for Operation Watchtower. Watchtower’s ...
Forward-based forces that support fleet operations and influence the maritime littoral continue to be relevant. Aircraft and shore-based antiship cruise and ballistic missiles provide sea-denial capabilities while extending the fleet’s reach in critical areas of the world. The U.S. Marine Corps’ stand-in-forces concept reflects this objective. Chin...
Intercepting an adversary’s merchant ships, naval logistics ships, and/or naval amphibious ships are ways of denying the maritime domain as a venue for the delivery of goods and services. The objective is to prevent an enemy from supporting military forces abroad or maintaining a wartime economy. During periods of increased tensions and war, these ...
The world’s oceans are a maritime common and a common border among maritime nations. These domain features empower navies to contribute to the diplomatic and economic elements of national power as no other military service. Enforcing international norms; combating piracy and maritime terrorism; providing humanitarian assistance and disaster relief;...
Former Navy Secretary John Lehman’s January 2022 article warns us that the current U.S. naval force architecture is too small, procurement insufficient, and national will ill-informed to meet the demands of the current geo-political environment.16Put in terms of distributed maritime operations, the U.S. carrier strike group–centric fleet architectu...
This is the rationale behind a bimodal fleet construct of a sea-control force and a sea-denial force to “buy back” operational employment options.17Bimodal is not a “high-low” mix, but really two different naval forces. The first conducts forward presence and shaping, humanitarian assistance/disaster relief, and protection (or interdiction) of stra...
regions where U.S. interests are involved. U.S. military forces are one tool used to shape the security environment and, when necessary, to respond to crises when shaping fails. This paper examines the requirement for military forces present forward and the role that U.S. Naval Forces play in accomplishing the mission of forward presence.
Aug 6, 2020 · The third trend is the shift from describing the Naval Service as part of a larger joint force, to focusing on how the Naval Service itself secures national interests. NDP-1 (2020) does not abandon the idea of the Naval Service supporting the joint force, but it certainly focuses more on naval warfare and less on joint operations.

Dec 1, 2016 · The Royal Navy has adopted slightly different categorisation of naval roles that represents recent thinking on the modern maritime environment so that the original functions—military, constabulary and diplomatic—have now been relabelled: warfighting, maritime security and international engagement, respectively and substitutes the term ‘function’ for ‘role’: the end result is the ...
