Sea-Basing and the Maritime Pre-positioning Force (Future)

摘要

Sea-basing defined as projecting joint operational independence in the largest maneuver area in the world, is one of the synergistic operational concepts the Navy-Marine Corps team will use to enhance their capabilities to fight and win the littoral conflicts of the 21st century. Sea-basing is a principal enabling concept supporting the Chief of Naval Operations' (CNO's) Sea Power 21, the U.S. Marine Corps' expeditionary maneuver warfare, operational maneuver from the sea (OMFTS), ship-to-objective maneuver (STOM), and other expeditionary concepts. Sea-basing allows the joint force commander (JFC) the means to accelerate deployment and employment times of naval power-projection capabilities and the enhanced seaborne positioning of joint assets. Sea-basing minimizes the need to build a logistics stockpile ashore, reduces the burden on sea and airlift assets, and allows forward positioning of joint forces.
