Interoperability of Rules of Engagement in Multinational Maritime Operations.

Abstract

In the post-cold War world, with defense downsizing, nations are likely to work together at sea. One particularly difficult challenge in multinational maritime operations is overcoming differences in Rules of Engagement (ROE). ROE address when, where, against whom, how, and how much force can be used. The varying capabilities, doctrine, political objectives, security interests, civil-military relations, and cultures of the members of multinational operations affect ROE. This paper outlines some common principles, problems, and procedures for reducing the risks of ROE incompatibility and increasing ROE interoperability in multinational maritime operations. The goal of ROE interpretability is to improve the ability of multinational forces to function together safely, effectively, and strategically by ensuring uniform actions and uniform understanding. This paper suggests steps that could foster ROE interoperability and could be taken in advance of real-world contingencies.
