What is the ideal force structure for a Littoral Combat Group? This thesis examines the threats posed in the littoral environment and recommends a mixture of surface combatants to reduce the risk to forces operating in a contested littoral environment. By examining the major amphibious campaign conducted by the British in the Falklands War, valuable lessons were extracted and applied to this hypothetical combat group. Further analysis was applied to the theoretical work of naval strategists who have considered how littoral warfare should be conducted. The result has been the development of counterarguments to some of the more widely accepted recommendations. This thesis concludes that the Navy and Marine Corps are currently not well prepared for littoral combat, but that the scales can be tipped toward success by feasible revisions to command arrangements and the embarked force structure.

Alkire et al. provide a clear understanding of the operational, logistics, and cost trade-offs between three interdependent elements of the Navy's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program: the number of LCSs in the fleet, the number of mission packages that those LCSs would require in order to perform a range of missions, and the number and locations of LCS homeports and mission package installation sites.

This major revision updates Wayne Hughes's 1986 landmark study that is credited with providing decision makers a sound foundation for battle planning and tactical thinking. The book integrates the historical evolution of tactics, analysis, and fleet operations, and today it can serve as a primer for anyone who wants to learn how navies fight and win. This second edition includes much new material on combat in the missile age and reflects the reconfiguration of many tactics for littoral operations after the fall of the Soviet Union. Hughes recreates famous battles to show how tactics have changed through the ages and the ways in which they have remained unchanged. He covers tactical interaction between land and sea, the sensory revolution of WWII, secret weapons and maritime surprise, the role in battle of leadership and morale, and the importance of surface warships in today's U.S. fleet. He suggests that naval tactics, unlike ground combat, are dominated by the offense and concludes that the great tactical maxim must be attack effectively first. A new chapter traces the evolution of missile tactics at sea and includes details of attacks on ships. Many changes emphasize joint operations and coastal combat. The already extensive appraisal of command and control and information warfare is further expanded to cover modern naval operations and the character of modern salvo warfare. In the tradition of Mahan and Clauswitz, this classic text incorporates literature, politics, and a knowledge of human nature. Indispensable reading for all those interested in naval tactics, it is also a valuable reference for wargamers

Download Navy Tactics, Doctrine, and Training Requirements for Littoral Warfare Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The White Papers '...From the Sea' and 'Forward.. From the Sea' have shifted the focus of U.S. maritime strategy from open-ocean (blue-water) operations to near-land (littoral) operations. U.S. naval strength lies in the capability to conduct sustained operations on the high seas, but the littoral environment and the potential enemy which may be encountered there impose new demands on our naval forces. It is imprudent to assume that the U.S. Navy can transfer their open-ocean proficiency into the littoral unmodified. This thesis evaluates the U.S. Navy's ability to conduct operations within this environment through its Littoral Warfare tactics, doctrine, and training. Then corrective actions for building littoral tactics and doctrine are recommended. It is intended that the recommendations will initiate a tactical debate to better prepare U.S. naval forces for operations within littoral regions throughout the world.

The Navy plans to spend about $28 billion to buy 55 Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) and at least 64 interchangeable mission packages to perform one of three missions ¿ mine countermeasures, antisubmarine warfare, and surface warfare ¿ in waters close to shore. The Navy has been developing two different LCS seaframes and plans to select one for production in 2010. Due to the small 78-person crew size ¿ 40 core crew, 23 for aviation detachment, and typically 15 for mission packages ¿ the Navy is developing new concepts for personnel, training, and maintenance. This report assessed the extent to which DoD has: (1) estimated LCS long-term operating and support costs; and (2) developed plans to operate and support LCS. Illustrations.

SEA LANCE is designed as the deployment mechanism for the Expeditionary Warfare Grid proposed in the Capabilities of the Navy after Next (CNAN) study being conducted by the Naval Warfare Development Command. The system composed of the SEA LANCE and Expeditionary Grid will be capable of providing the deployability, flexibility, versatility, lethality and survivability necessary within the contested littorals to provide the operational commander with the awareness and access assurance capability lacking in the fleet of the POM.

Download Success in the Solomons: Littoral Warfare Lessons Learned Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The United States Navy envisions future surface warfare occurring primarily in littoral regions. Currently, the methods employed for training combatant ships do not provide the necessary core competencies for near-shore combat. Additionally, there is an absence of doctrine that mandates standard procedures for littoral action. Therefore, the Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) scenario should be modified to reflect a more land-centric operation and doctrine should be developed to direct standard procedures and guide OPTASK development.

Download Oceanography and Mine Warfare Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Environmental information is important for successful planning and execution of naval operations. A thorough understanding of environmental variability greatly increases the likelihood of mission success. To ensure that naval forces have the most up-to-date capabilities, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has an extensive environmental research program. This research, to be of greatest use to the warfighter, needs to be directed towards assisting and solving battlefield problems. To increase research community understanding of the operational demands placed on naval operators and to facilitate discussion between these two groups, the National Research Council's (NRC) Ocean Studies Board (OSB), working with ONR and the Office of the Oceanographer of the Navy, convened five previous symposia on tactical oceanography. Oceanography and Mine Warfare examines the following issues: (1) how environmental data are used in current mine warfare doctrine, (2) current procedures for in situ collection of data, (3) the present capabilities of the Navy's oceanographic community to provide supporting information for mine warfare operations, and (4) the ability of oceanographic research and technology developments to enhance current mine warfare capabilities. This report primarily concentrates on the importance of oceanographic data for mine countermeasures.
