"Amphibious operations use maneuver principles to employ ready-to-fight combat forces from the sea to the shore to achieve a position of advantage over the enemy. During combat operations, maneuver, in conjunction with organic and supporting fires, is essential to gaining access where the enemy least expects it. It provides a position of advantage to destroy or seriously disrupt the enemy’s cohesion through a variety of rapid, focused, and unexpected actions that create a turbulent and rapidly deteriorating situation with which the enemy cannot cope."

The U.S. Navy is rapidly repositioning assets to better prepare itself for the defense of U.S. forces and allies in the Middle East. It's also preparing for a long-term conflict... a scenario now seen as a possibility as tensions erupt between Iran, the United States, Israel, and the entire region. My latest for Naval News outlining what the United States Navy has done and is currently doing:

Mine warfare is not only about the Baltic Sea, it's about how to integrate offensive & defensive MIW strategies within modern worldwide naval and land wars ! https://lnkd.in/dqhaGT8D

"We will staunchly advocate for and be unambiguous in our requirements for a mission-capable amphibious force, to include the following: the greatest possible readiness of the existing Amphibious Warfare Ship inventory; no fewer than 31 Amphibious Warfare Ships procured through cost-saving block-buys; two-year centers for LPDs and four-year centers for LHAs; and the criticality of the timely production of 35 LSMs and, in the interim, a Littoral Maneuver Bridging Solution."

What a great article. I highly recommend all Marine officers read this article and share it with your Marines. One of my favorite lines from this article. “We contend that the continuously evolving indicators from observable security challenges are serving to reinforce the trajectory of the Marine Corps — based on what the American people require the service to be capable of doing, particularly as defined in Title 10 U.S.C. § 5063.”

Today in Asia Times, I wrote about the US's strategic dilemma in updating its amphibious warfare fleet. Aging ships and emerging threats necessitate a choice between investing in numerous but smaller ships or a few larger but potentially more vulnerable ones. This conundrum is compounded by rigid mindsets within military planning circles and the US Navy's current operational challenges with existing ships needing maintenance or facing decommissioning despite not reaching their planned service life. The recent focus on ship readiness, as evidenced by the urgent studies by top Navy and Marine Corps officials, highlights the immediate need for robust, flexible solutions. Past approaches show a pattern of underinvestment in maintenance, leading to capability gaps. This scenario underscores the broader strategic challenges of maintaining a credible force projection in the face of advanced anti-ship and surveillance technologies that adversaries like China are deploying.

The oceans cover three-fourths of the globe, but intelligence groups spend little time on the subject in relation to the security of corporations. However, there is a tremendous amount of risk when it comes to the water because of its relationship to everything from defense to the internet to the supply chain. Analysts need to follow issues like the naval power projection capabilities of great powers and how sub-state actors use the water to their advantage. This week’s intelligence requirements are intended to help analysts see issues beyond land-based geopolitics and security.
