| What is the Maritime Strategy ABOUT? |
|
Definition
Security, Stability (Prosperity), and Seapower
Security: Maritime forces are the first line of defense with ability to deploy quickly, reach difficult locations
Prosperity: 70% of the world is water, 80% of people live on or near the coastline, 90% of our commerce moves across the oceans.
Seapower: The unifying force that allows for global security, stability and prosperity.
This strategy shows that our sea services can do everything, making prevention of war more awesome. PREVENTING WARS IS AS IMPORTANT AS WINNING WARS.
Maritime forces will be employed to build confidence and trust among nations through COLLECTIVE SECURITY EFFORTS.
Although our forces can surge when necessary, TRUST AND COOPERATION CANNOT BE SURGED.
The Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard will act across the FULL RANGE OF MILITARY OPERATIONS to secure the U.S. from direct attack. |
