Standing Naval Forces and Global Security
Abstract
The United States faces a security dilemma with the end of the cold war and the advent of ill defined, regional based threats. The United States must meet increased global security needs with a concurrent drawdown in naval strength. As a partial solution to this dilemma this thesis examines using regional standing naval forces to meet global security needs. A standing naval force offers a variety of diplomatic and military responses to crises and can react on very short notice. The cost of a standing naval force is shared among the members of the multinational alliance. In this thesis NATO's standing naval forces provide a model that is developed into an exportable concept. This concept is tested for the Pacific geopolitical region. Multinational coalition NATO, Standing naval force, Regional security, Global security, Maritime Security
