Naval Force Employment during Peacetime Contingency Operations

Abstract

Naval force employment during the conduct of Peacetime Contingency Operations (PCO) is a topic of critical importance as strategies and doctrines amongst the services adapt to the emerging world order. Complexities occur in PCO do to the synergistic effect created by force, time and political considerations, controls and constraints. As the level of violence increases so to the level of joint effort. This paper will address naval force employment considerations within PCO and explore the issue of joint service operations in this highly complex area. The Principles of War are applicable to PCO as well, and the Objective, specifically, the political objective, is at the heart of these operations. Naval force employment is enhanced through joint service operations. Therefore, improvements in the areas of joint doctrine development, training, exercises and employment is required. Development of operational naval doctrine similar to those doctrines of other services is necessary to enhance naval force employment options during PCO.
