A Preliminary Investigation of Ship Acquisition Options for Joint Forcible Entry Operations
Abstract
The current strategy for U.S. naval power is embodied in "Sea Power 21,"' which would integrate naval forces for global joint operations against regional and transnational threats. Three fundamental concepts underlie Sea Power 21: Sea Strike, which increases the ability to project precise and persistent offensive power from the sea; Sea Shield, which extends naval defensive firepower beyond the task force; and Sea Basing, which enhances operational independence and support for the joint force by placing at sea (to a greater extent than ever before) capabilities that are critical to joint and coalition operational success.
