Naval Operations Concept 2010 Opportunity and Challenge The preceding chapters described how the Naval Service executes its core capabilities in a security environment characterized by an increasing number of concurrent, diverse nuclear, conventional and irregular challenges, perpetrated by both state and non-state actors, that is evolving toward a new multi-polar balance of global power. The United States and particularly the Naval Service recognize the importance of allies and partners in this environment, and are committed to collaboratively building the interoperability and capacity necessary to share the burden of achieving global maritime security and providing for the common defense of likeminded nations. To this end, the Naval Service is rebalancing its force structure to address the blue, green and brown water threats potentially posed by very capable state adversaries, as well as the maritime security and irregular littoral challenges posed by both state and non-state adversaries. While armed conflicts between states occur infrequently, they are the greatest threat to the United States and demand sufficient numbers of technologically advanced “high-end” capabilities to ensure the United States can effectively deter, dissuade and if necessary defeat a peer competitor. Deterrence is enhanced and risk reduced if the Naval Service, allies and partners—in the aggregate—possess the high-end capability and capacity to decisively project power to counter coercion and aggression. Considering the growing costs of technologically advanced capabilities; the demand for balanced “high”- and “low”-end capabilities; and the intense competition for funding across all elements of national power, the Naval Service and its ally and partner counterparts are significantly challenged to sustain the naval forces necessary to project the power required in today’s—and tomorrow’s—security environment. Central Idea Naval Operations Concept 2010 (NOC 10) provides the basis for assessing the forces required to implement A Cooperative Strategy for 21 st Century Seapower (CS-21). The Naval Service capabilities herein are carefully designed to address the requirement to concurrently enhance global maritime security, prevent and respond to crises, deter aggression, and defeat very capable adversaries. To this end, they have been informed by the operational needs of the combatant commanders and by current and anticipated resource constraints.
Aircraft Carriers Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (CVNs) and their embarked air wings provide responsive, flexible, sustainable strike capability and capacity that does not require diplomatic access. Aircraft carriers serve as the centerpiece of carrier strike groups (CSGs) during power projection operations. In the event of conflict, multiple CSGs can aggregate, along with other surge forces if required, to form an expeditionary strike force capable of projecting significant power at-sea and ashore. The standard CSG force package includes a CVN, air wing, up to five surface combatants, a direct support submarine, and a combat logistics force ship. The ships provide integrated air and missile defense (IAMD) to include ballistic missile defense; and strike warfare, undersea warfare, surface warfare, maritime security, and sustainment. When not conducting coordinated operations, these ships will often disaggregate to conduct dispersed security cooperation, counter-piracy, counter-terrorism or other maritime security operations in the theater. In meeting steady-state combatant commander demand, the Naval Service will continue to maintain three CVNs forward deployed in regions of critical national interest. In addition to the three deployed CVNs, the inter-deployment training and maintenance process allows a minimum of two additional CVNs to be ready in 30 days and one additional CVN to be ready in 90 days, under a 3-2-1 construct. Adaptive force packaging will adjust the composition of each associated CSG to meet specific mission requirements. Aircraft Aircraft provide a unique combination of speed, endurance, agility, reach and firepower, which complement other naval capabilities. Manned and unmanned naval aircraft are fully integrated into the majority of naval operations, performing a wide variety of functions and tasks. These include strike operations; offensive and defensive counter-air operations (OCA/DCA); offensive air support and assault support for landing forces as well as joint or multinational forces ashore; maritime patrol; surveillance and reconnaissance; airborne early warning; surface warfare; undersea warfare; electronic warfare; command and control (C2); logistics support; and search and rescue operations.
