14. A COOPERATIVE STRATEGY FOR 21ST CENTURY SEAPOWER
Never before have the maritime forces of the United States—the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard—come together to create a unified maritime strategy. This strategy stresses an approach that integrates Seapower with other elements of national power, as well as those of our friends and allies. The security, prosperity, and vital interests of the United States are increasingly coupled to those of other nations. Our Nation’s interests are best served by fostering a peaceful global system comprised of interdependent networks of trade, finance, information, law, people and governance. The United States Seapower will be globally postured to secure our homeland and citizens from direct attack and to advance our interests around the world. We do this to accomplish six important tasks:
1. Limit regional conflict with forward deployed, decisive maritime power.
2. Deter major power war.
3. Win our Nation’s wars.
4. Contribute to homeland defense in depth.
5. Foster and sustain cooperative relationships with more international partners.
6. Prevent or contain local disruptions before they impact the global system.
To successfully implement this strategy, the Sea Services must collectively expand the core capabilities of U.S. Seapower to achieve a blend of peacetime engagement and major combat operations capabilities. The core capabilities include our forward presence, deterrence capability, Sea control, power projection, maritime security and humanitarian assistance and disaster response. This strategy is derived from a thorough assessment of the Nation’s security requirements. It does not presume conflict but instead acknowledges the historical fact that peace does not preserve itself.
