Fighting Against the Tide:The Germans' Battle of the Atlantic and an Operating Concept for Distributed Denial Detachments

Abstract

This project examines the applicability of MUM-T technologies to the nature and conduct of future warfare. The South China Sea served as the general operating environment template. A case study of the Battle of the Atlantic explored issues related to U-Boats disadvantages in several domains and the technology competition that occurred throughout the Battle. Historical lessons inform concept development on expanded ideas surrounding Expeditionary Advanced Base establishment, specifically, employing a small detachment forward to limit enemy freedom of action, shape the battlespace and create opportunities for maneuver.
