Naval Operations Concept 2010 forecast capacity of the Naval Service. Since 2007 the combatant commanders’ cumulative requests for naval forces have grown 29 percent for CSGs, 76 percent for surface combatants, 86 percent for ARG/MEUs, and 53 percent for individually deployed amphibious ships. 12 The challenge is to employ globally distributed, mission-tailored forces across a wide range of missions that promote stability, prevent crises and combat terrorism; while maintaining the capability to regionally concentrate credible combat power to protect U.S. vital interests, assure friends, and deter and dissuade potential adversaries. Forward forces and forces surged from the United States, along with those of allies and partners, must be sufficiently ready and interoperable to respond effectively across a broad spectrum of crises. Central Idea Naval forces are ideally suited to shape and respond to the security challenges of the 21 st century. The combination of forward stationed and rotationally deployed forces is a uniquely adaptable means to maintain global military presence while respecting the sovereignty of other nations. The presence of forward naval forces provides American policymakers with an expansive range of options to influence events and project power in peacetime, crisis, and war. These options are largely the result of interoperability with ally and partner maritime forces, achieved through effective, steady-state engagement activities; and the flexible employment of naval force packages that are tailored to specific capacity building, security cooperation or crisis response requirements. Cooperative Action The United States employs a “comprehensive” approach that focuses and synchronizes interagency efforts to promote good governance; the rule of law; social, economic and political development; stability; and global security. In this context, the Naval Service helps build partner capacity to maintain maritime security, respond to crises within the maritime domain, deter conflicts, and prevail in war. Building such capacity requires collaborative planning with partners—along with supporting regional allies and partners, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations—and a series of resulting activities that are conducted
over time to achieve sustainable improvements. Naval forces provide the persistent forward presence necessary to support such initiatives, either in a leadership role, or in support of other U.S. entities, allies or partners better suited to lead the effort. Moreover, the ability to optimize the composition of the forward forces to meet the evolving needs of U.S. partners maximizes the return on investment from each event. Forward naval forces are similarly employed to enhance interoperability with allies, leading to more effective shaping of the security environment and response to crises. Adaptive Force Packaging Adaptive force packaging generates the globally distributed, mission-tailored forces required to resource the demands of the combatant commanders. The standard CSG and ARG force packages can be scaled up by incorporating additional ships; or disaggregated into smaller surface action groups or individual ships to conduct the full range of military operations, including capacity building, theater security cooperation (TSC) and combat operations. As global demands increase and TSC requirements become more refined, independently deploying units are frequently the best solution for many missions. In this regard, exploiting the inherent capability and flexibility of ships to fill non-traditional roles, such as the use of USNS maritime prepositioning ships for global fleet station, and high speed vessels for afloat staging base missions, is increasingly common. Beyond innovatively employing every class of ship operated by the Naval Service, adaptive force packaging also includes tailoring the crew composition and adding mission specific equipment to enhance effectiveness. For example, Marine detachments can be placed aboard large surface combatants, littoral combatants, and cutters to provide enhanced force protection; boarding and raiding capability; and mobile training teams. Similarly, cultural, language, law enforcement, legal, intelligence, and special operations experts can augment crews; and civil affairs, health services, construction engineering, and ISR capabilities such as SCAN EAGLE can be embarked and employed as required. Importantly, adaptive force packaging is not constrained to ships—any capability or set of capabilities can be deployed and employed to accomplish an assigned mission—but the Naval Service is optimized to conduct expeditionary operations that are sustained from a sea base.
