Assessing Maritime Aspects of the AirSea Battle Concept

Abstract

This paper analyzes the U.S. AirSea Battle Concept and the People s Republic of China (PRC) strategy. The AirSea Battle Concept will not maintain the current maritime power balance in the Western Pacific against current and future A2/AD capabilities employed in a war of attrition strategic framework. Planners working on AirSea Battle Concept must reassess PRC strategy, refresh the planning assumptions, and reevaluate the proposed ways and means for gaining operational access under the threat of PRC A2/AD.
