The advantage of sea-power used offensively is that when a fleet sails no one can be sure where it is going to strike. 20 — Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, 1949 Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 1940-1945 and 1951-1955
Chapter Power Projection Amphibious flexibility is the greatest strategic asset that a sea-based power possesses. 21 —B.H. Liddell Hart, 1960 Soldier, Military Historian and Theorist Background During the Cold War, the United States maintained significant military forces overseas in close proximity to likely employment areas. Since the end of that conflict, the United States’ global network of air and land bases has diminished and U.S. military forces have largely transitioned to an expeditionary posture. Most Naval Service forces are now based in the United States and deploy overseas, rotationally or episodically, to meet operational requirements. In this “expeditionary era,” U.S. joint forces are increasingly challenged by geographic, diplomatic, and military impediments to access, necessitating a greater emphasis on sea-based power projection capabilities. The Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO) elaborates on this topic: Diminishing overseas access is another challenge anticipated in the future operating environment. Foreign sensitivities to U.S. military presence have steadily been increasing. Even close allies may be hesitant to grant access for a variety of reasons. Diminished access will complicate the maintenance of forward presence, a critical aspect of past and current U.S. military strategy, necessitating new approaches to responding quickly to developments around the world as well as more robust exploitation of existing U.S. advantages to operate at sea and in the air, space, and cyberspace. Assuring access to ports, airfields, foreign airspace, coastal waters and host nation support in potential commitment areas will be a challenge and will require active peacetime engagement with states in volatile areas. In war, this challenge may require forcible-entry capabilities designed to seize and maintain lodgments in the face of armed resistance. 22 Chapter Power Projection
