Army LIC Doctrine: Naval Roles

Abstract

The Army and the Air Force Field Manual--FM 100-20/Military Operations in Low Intensity Conflict--seem to indicate that the United States Navy has a very small part to play in a low intensity conflict (LIC). Since the Navy has contributed and will continue to enthusiastically perform intensely at all levels of conflict, it is necessary to integrate Navy missions into Army terminology. This paper provides an orientation for non-Naval officers into the capabilities inherent in naval units, with suggested applications for LIC. Definitions from FM 100-20 suggest many opportunities for the U.S. Navy to contribute to LIC, as past Naval missions indicate.
