The ImperativesThe Imperatives Demographics
2.2 Billion people live within 100 km of coast
Geography Over 70% of the earth’s surface is water Access issues and maneuver space – international waters Vital Sea Lines of Communication (SLOCs)
Straights of Hormuz, Malacca, Suez Canal, etc…
Global economy / commerce Intertwined economies World's fleets carry around 90% of global exports - $8.9 trillion (2004) 10,000 oil tankers ship 60% of the world’s petroleum
Navies Over 30 nations have navies with “global reach” 160 nations have some navy, coast guard, maritime police capability Over 6300 warships worldwide
Security in the Maritime EnvironmentSecurity in the Maritime Environment
A key for global stability, especially uninterrupted economic stability, commerce
Dependence on the maritime environment increasing Sustain global economy
Significant increase in areas of strategic focus
Evolving / irregular security environment that demands increased Maritime Domain Awareness
Requires capable Navies with forward presence for deterrence and security operations
Security requires building partnerships: the best joint, coalition, interagency, as well as commercial integration Information sharing
Governance
Awareness and understanding of core missions and capability

Our Strategic Environment: Our Strategic Environment: The “New Normal”The “New Normal”
Globalization Interdependence of global economies Security and prosperity are interlinked Trans-national threats increased and unchecked in some areas
Increasingly irregular and uncertain operating environment Potential threats to our mutual interests Use of the seas for illicit activities
Trafficking Piracy
HADR missions (Haiti, Tsunami relief, Pakistan earthquake) May not have the luxury of time – “Come as you are” Requires Maritime Domain Awareness
To include across ‘areas of responsibility” for military commanders Capability and capacity must be maintained in spite of fiscal realities and
constraints Emerging technologies offer new and innovative solutions for capability
or capacity shortfalls Importance of “concepts” in how to view the strategic landscape and
address the challenges and opportunities

A Balanced ApproachA Balanced Approach
SEC GATES: “…what programs are necessary to deteraggression, project power when necessary, and protect ourinterests and allies around the globe.” 06 APR 2009
Technology and material solutions are relevant to today’s challenges and the future; BUT just one aspect of delivering power and capability
Concept generation and development provides capability through full spectrum across DOTMLPF Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Logistics, Personnel, Facilities
Development of doctrine for linking with other services and nations, key to maximizing our collective capability
Credible shields are created by forging partnerships and mutual understanding - doctrine and technology represent the
practical manifestation of that effort

TakeawaysTakeaways
Dependence on the maritime environment is growing; requires increased cooperation Security and prosperity linked Sustain global economy and protect SLOCs Sealift for military support and HADR efforts
It’s all about the best joint & coalition integration Evolving security environment demands extensive
Maritime Domain Awareness and processes / procedures to maintain advantage
“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new.
This coolness arises partly from the fear of opponents, who have the laws on their side and partly from the incredulity of men, who do not readily believe in the new things until they have long experienced them.”
- Machiavelli
