Naval Operations Concept 2010 0 Enduring, Rotational Maritime Partnership Missions The global fleet station concept has given rise to a variety of enduring capacity-building activities that are supported by mission-tailored rotational forces. The Africa Partnership Station (APS) initiative exemplifies the rigorous, holistic approach to enhancing maritime security that the Naval Service employs around the world. Beginning with a specific maritime security condition to be achieved, for example “trafficking is stopped through western Africa,” individual country action plans are collaboratively developed with the littoral countries to build the cadre of maritime professionals, maritime security infrastructure, maritime domain awareness, and maritime security force response capability necessary to achieve the objective condition. The country action plans integrate and synchronize supporting activities by other U.S. government entities, as well as those of allies, other partners, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations that share a common interest in achieving the maritime security condition. The detailed planning that is the foundation of this approach facilitates resourcing the initiative, avoids duplication of effort among international stakeholders, and drives the long-term scheduling of rotational forces to maximize progress by the partner. Moreover, the synchronization of related country action plans through a regional action plan that establishes enabling capabilities such as regional coordination centers, serves to establish a regional capacity that is invariably required to achieve measurable improvements in maritime security. To this end, Naval Service capabilities are employed in both supported and supporting roles, and typically conduct training events, exercises, and combined operations with numerous partners during a single deployment. For example, a subset of APS includes the African Maritime Law Enforcement Partnership (AMLEP), in which Navy warships, Coast Guard cutters, and partner vessels with embarked Coast Guard LEDETs and mobile training teams (MTTs) conduct operations and professional exchanges to advance maritime security and law enforcement competencies. The character of such activities and required capabilities vary depending on the security enhancement sought—from protection of ports, off-shore infrastructure, undersea resources or the environment to the interdiction of illegal fishing, piracy, narcotics smuggling, human trafficking, and weapons proliferation—but the first principle for successful maritime partnership missions is a steadfast focus on planned activities that make progress toward the specific maritime security condition to be achieved.
Fleet and Regional Exercises and Training Bilateral and multi-lateral exercises serve to increase the proficiency, interoperability and confidence of U.S. naval forces and those of its allies and partners across the entire ROMO. Such exercises incorporate tailored training objectives to address the needs of the maritime security forces involved, from fundamental competencies such as basic naval seamanship to the most technically complex aspects of naval warfare such as ballistic missile defense, amphibious assault and undersea warfare. Exercises also bring together nations that otherwise would not conduct combined operations. Major maritime exercises include: Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC), the largest combined exercise in the Pacific; Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT); Southeast Asia Cooperation Against Terrorism (SEACAT); Annual Exercise (ANNUALEX) with Japan; FOAL EAGLE in Korea; Baltic Operations Exercise (BALTOPS); and UNITAS, PANAMAX, and TRADEWINDS in the Western Hemisphere. All of these exercises involve ships, aircraft, and personnel ashore to conduct MSFA, ultimately improving the ability of U.S. naval forces to respond effectively to regional security threats in concert with its allies and partners. Enhanced Awareness Comprehensive maritime domain awareness (MDA) is the foundation of global maritime security. MDA requires an architecture that collects, fuses, analyzes and disseminates enormous quantities of classified and unclassified information regarding vessels, people, cargo, infrastructure, maritime areas of interest, and ongoing maritime security operations. The contributions of forward postured, persistent and culturally aware naval forces are critical, but not sufficient, to achieve comprehensive MDA. In fact, the combined efforts of the world’s naval forces—if they could be aligned through military-to-military relationships—would still be insufficient. Comprehensive MDA can only be achieved through the seamless collaboration of the entire maritime community—naval forces, maritime-related organizations, the shipping industry, insurance companies, and mariners of every ilk. The Naval Service is responsible for facilitating such collaboration among the naval forces of allies and partners as a matter of first priority, and among the balance of the maritime community secondarily. The basic objective of MDA initiatives is to discern who owns, operates, and controls a vessel; what activity is being conducted by the vessel; when Chapter Maritime Security
