Inadequate Mine Countermeasure Systems and Capabilities for Future Amphibious Operations

Abstract

The Marine Corps Amphibious Force of the 21st century will be the best in the world only if effective systems are developed and proper training is provided to conduct mine countermeasures. Unfortunately, the Navy and Marine Corps still lack the ability to counter all types of mines effectively at all water depths. For that reason, the U.S. and its allies should proceed in full force to take initiative in developing and funding programs necessary to improve mine countermeasures capabilities.
