3. Mission of the U.S. Navy
The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready Naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression, and maintaining freedom of the seas.
As a part of this mission, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) is responsible for providing power projection from the sea, utilizing the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces to global crises.

COMMAND, CONTROL, AND COMMUNICATIONS (CCC) Providing communications and related facilities for coordination and control of external organizations or forces, and control of own unit's capabilities.

5. Operational Mission Areas
COMMAND AND CONTROL WARFARE (C2W) The integrated use of computer network operations (CNO), psychological operations (PSYOP), military deception (MILDEC), operations security (OPSEC), electronic warfare (EW), and physical destruction; mutually supported by intelligence, to deny information to, influence, degrade, or destroy adversary C2 capabilities while protecting friendly C2 capabilities against such actions.
FLEET SUPPORT OPERATIONS (FSO) Naval forces and designated shore facilities providing supporting services other than logistics replenishment to fleet units.
INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE (ISR) The collection, processing, and evaluation of information to determine location, identification, and capability of hostile forces through the employment of reconnaissance, surveillance, and other means.
THEATRE AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE (TAMD) – As more nations gain the ability to use ballistic and cruise missiles, defending friendly forces against these threats has become increasingly important

6. Operational Mission Areas
STRIKE WARFARE (STW) The destruction or neutralization of enemy targets ashore through the use of conventional or nuclear weapons.
MARITIME INTERDICTION OPERATIONS (MIO) – Boarding and inspection of vessels suspected of smuggling, piracy, terrorism, or sanction violations.

Surface Warfare
Amphibious Warfare (Surface and Marine Corps assets)
Undersea Warfare (Submarine and Mine assets)
Air Warfare
Special Warfare (SEALs)
Expeditionary Warfare (EOD, Construction, Riverine)
Cyber Warfare / Information Dominance
Space Warfare

8. Maritime Strategy
“A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower” was presented by the Chief of Naval Operations and the Commandants of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard at the International Seapower Symposium in Newport, R.I. on Oct 17, 2007. 
The result of over a year’s work, this new enduring strategy will apply maritime power to the crucial responsibility of protecting U.S. vital interests in an increasingly interconnected and uncertain world. 
Signed for the first time by the service chiefs of all three sea services, the strategy draws the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard even closer together in working to protect and sustain the American Way of Life.

9. The Maritime Strategy is about Security, Stability and Seapower
Security: Maritime forces are first line of defense with ability to deploy quickly, reach difficult locations
Stability: 70% of the world is water, 80% of the world lives on or near the coastline and 90% of our commerce sails across it. Any disruption in that chain caused by instability has a direct impact on American quality of life.
Seapower: The unifying force and common denominator that enables global security stability and prosperity.
