3. I. 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.

4. II. Operational Mission Areas 1. ANTI-AIR WARFARE (AAW) The detection, tracking, destruction or neutralization of enemy air platforms and airborne weapons. 2. ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE (ASW) The detection, tracking, and destruction or neutralization of enemy submarines. 3. ANTI-SURFACE SHIP WARFARE (ASU) The detection, tracking, and destruction or neutralization of enemy surface combatants and merchant ships. 4. CLOSE AIR SUPPORT (CAS) Fire support for troops in contact with enemy forces. 5. COMBAT SEARCH AND RESCUE (CSAR) Operations carried out to retrieve, rescue and provide assistance to downed aircrews or allies behind enemy lines 6. 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. II. Operational Mission Areas 7. 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. 8. FLEET SUPPORT OPERATIONS (FSO) Naval forces and designated shore facilities providing supporting services other than logistics replenishment to fleet units. 9. 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. 10. 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. Currently, the emphasis is the protection of forward-deployed forces via evolved, long- ranged Standard Missiles and a reconfigured SPY-1 radar system.

6. II. Operational Mission Areas 11. STRIKE WARFARE (STW) The destruction or neutralization of enemy targets ashore through the use of conventional or nuclear weapons. This includes, but is not limited to, strategic targets, building yards, and operating bases from which the enemy is capable of conducting air, surface, or subsurface operations against U.S. or allied forces. 12. MARITIME INTERDICTION OPERATIONS (MIO) – Boarding, inspection, and seizure (if necessary) of vessels suspected of smuggling, piracy, terrorism, or sanction violations. MIO operations are conducted by trained Boarding Teams consisting of the ship’s crew and supported by embarked aircraft (SH-60 B) and Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LE Dets). 13. MINE WARFARE (MIW) The use of mines for control/denial of sea or harbor areas, and mine countermeasures over, under, or upon the surface.

7. III. Warfare Communities The Fleet utilizes the following warfare communities: 1. Surface Warfare 2. Amphibious Warfare (Surface and Marine Corps assets) 3. Undersea Warfare (Submarine and Mine assets) 4. Air Warfare 5. Special Warfare (SEALs) 6. Expeditionary Warfare (EOD, Construction, Riverine) 7. Cyber Warfare / Information Dominance 8. Space Warfare

8. IV. 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. IV. Maritime Strategy 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 Prosperity: 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.

10. IV. Maritime Strategy This strategy clearly articulates that our sea services operate across the full spectrum of operations; raising the prevention of war to a level equal to the conduct of war. We believe that preventing wars is as important as winning wars. United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard will act across the full range of military operations to secure the United States from direct attack; secure strategic access and retain global freedom of action; strengthen existing and emerging alliances and partnerships and establish favorable security conditions.
