Combat Divers and Counter-Diver Operations

摘要

In maritime operations that range from ocean battlespace to the extreme littorals of the globe and to inter-coastal areas sometimes located far inland, combat diver and on the opposite side of the business counter-diver missions will be increasingly staged to asses the strategic integrity of "From the Sea" and "Navy After Next" global power projection operations, to maintain and preserve national and global military presence, and to confront and prevent emergent threat scenarios posed both by non-state terrorist actors and national adversaries with belligerent military agendas.rnCombat diver (sometimes called "frogman") operations will include anti-terrorism and anti-piracy, surveillance, reconnaissance and intelligence collection, dignitary protection, underwater salvage and sea rescue, security in support of commercial shipping, fishery protection, seabed and floating mine clearance, and many others besides these as new challenges and unanticipated threats emerge.
