Seabasing: A Joint Projection Platform
Abstract
Is seabasing truly a joint concept or is it merely a larger form of United States Naval and Marine Corps employment? Additionally, what effect will this evolving capability have in relation to United States National Strategy and the employment of military forces as an element of national power? Seabasing is a Joint Integrating Concept that will provide future Joint Force Commanders a secure, joint, capable, agile, and scalable power projection platform free of the restrictions normally associated with traditional land-based installations. This Joint Integrating Concept will enable rapid deployment, assembly of combat forces, command and control, precise power projection, and reconstitution and redeployment of joint combat power from the sea against an asymmetrical enemy that possesses evolving and adaptive technologies and strategies. From the beginning of a crisis through the completion of stabilization operations, seabasing offers power projection through the sequential and concurrent integration of its five primary operating lines. These lines of operations (close, assemble, employ, sustain, and reconstitute) provide the nation a truly joint, flexible, responsive, precise, and powerful tool in a full spectrum of operations ranging from humanitarian support through continuing execution of the Global War on Terrorism.
