Mine Counter-Measures: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow's Problem for the Joint Force

Abstract

The United States has faced the challenges of mine warfare since the American Revolution. One would assume that the Armed Services long-standing experience of conducting countermine warfare would have yielded many lessons learned and improvements in countermine measures. After all, advancements in ships, weaponry, and aircraft all occurred rapidly during and after each war. However, this not is the case with mine-counter measures (MCM). These articles will look at the historic context of MCM, frame the problem of MCM today, and offer solutions for tomorrows force against the backdrop of the Marine Operating Concept (MOC) and Littoral Operations in a Contest Environment (LOCE).
