The Refinement of Sea Basing: A Logistical Concept for Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations

Abstract

When deploying and conducting dispersed maritime operations, speed and tempo are of the essence. An emerging concept called expeditionary advanced base operations (EABO) requires scalable forces to maneuver with a sustained tempo to exploit advantages over an adversary by establishing an expeditionary advanced base (EAB) to support maritime operations. When conducting EABO, the traditional centralized logistical process the military has utilized will not be sufficient. Through proper refinement, a sea basing concept that is mobile, flexible, properly sized, and fused with emerging technologies can provide decentralized logistics to support EABO. Once an EAB has been established, they can mutually support each other as a naval expeditionary force in readiness to outpace the enemy.
