The Royal Navy's (RN) Ability to Conduct Amphibious Assaults in the Absence of Sea Control
Abstract
Following the departure of the UK from the European Union, the British Governments ambition is to be a Global Britain. This requires protected trade routes, many of which are linked to maritime trade routes that pass through several chokepoints. To deter aggressive actions that could impact British trade, a persistent RN presence near the chokepoints is required. To achieve this, diplomatic, informational, military, and economic investment by all UK Government departments is essential. To ensure the initiative against a near-peer adversary is not lost, the RN must become more comfortable holding additional risk and have an adept amphibious assault capability. However, in a near-peer battle, against an A2AD threat, the RN would face a greater challenge.
