Analysis of A2/AD in the Asia-Pacific Region and Marine Corps Concept Development and Force Design

Abstract

Anti-access/area denial is a prevailing issue for the U.S., specifically in the Asia-Pacific. U.S. strategic security policy has emphasized a need for freedom of access and maneuver in contested areas to address current or emerging threats presented by potential adversaries, such as China. As a result, development of concepts from the joint level and down to the service level emphasize the conduct of operations inside and around these contested areas. To keep pace with emerging threats, the Marine Corps has taken steps to revamp its force to address this issue, through new concepts and design. However, some additional considerations to address the A2/AD issue are analyzed and highlighted in this paper.
