why does the JFC establish maritime AO
areas of operations
JFCs establish maritime areas of operation (AOs) to
decentralize execution of maritime component operations,
allow rapid maneuver, and provide the ability to fight at
extended ranges
determines the land/maritime AO
The size, shape, and positioning of land
or maritime AOs will be based on the JFC’s concept of
operations (CONOPS) and the land or maritime
commander’s requirements to accomplish missions and
protect forces. The AO can be dynamic and evolve as the
operation or campaign matures. W
who is the supported commander within the AO when the JFC designates a maritime AO
JFMCC
MIW
mine warfare
command by negotiation
Command by negation
acknowledges that, because of the often distributed and
dispersed nature of maritime warfare, it is necessary to
pre-plan the actions of a force to an assessed threat and
delegate some warfare functions to subordinate
commanders.
drives JFMCC planning
The JFMCC’s planning is driven by the JFC’s guidance
and intent, supports JFC staff planning efforts, and should
be closely coordinated with component planning. DRIVES jfmcc PLANNNING

UNCLOS
1982 UN Convention on the Law of hte Sea
US isn’t part of it b/c of its stance on deep seabed mining provisions
BUT we follow the navigation and overflight provisions therein reflective of customary international law
USW

IAMD
integrated air and missile defense
IAMD synchronizes
aspects of counterair with global missile defense,
homeland defense, and global strike.
2 subdivisions of mine warfare
laying of mines to degrade the enemy’s capabilities to wage warfare and the countering of enemy-laid mines to permit friendly maneuver
C2
C2 is the means by which a commander synchronizes and/or integrates joint force
activities
Mission command is the conduct of military operations through decentralized
execution based upon mission-type orders. Success requires subordinate leaders at all
echelons to exercise disciplined initiative and act aggressively and independently to
accomplish the mission. Essential to mission command is the thorough understanding of
the commander’s intent at every level of command.
operational acess
ability to project military force in contested areas with sufficient freedom of action to accomplish the mission
sea control operations
operations designed to secure use of hte maritime domain by one’s own forces and to prevent its use by the enemy
essence of sea power
sea control
sea control & striking distance
sea control allows naval forces to close within striking distance to remove landward threats that threaten access which, in turn, enhances freedom of action at sea, enables projections of forces ashore

benefit of exerting Naval influence
Naval forces provide the means of maintaining a global military presence while
limiting the undesired economic, social, political, or diplomatic repercussions that often
accompany US footprints ashore. Culturally aware, forward-deployed naval forces can
provide a stabilizing influence on regional actors and can prevent or limit conflict.
Forward-deployed naval forces provide US policy makers a range of options for
influencing events while minimizing the risk of being drawn into a crisis or protracted
entanglement.
benefits of a sea base
A sea base provides a JFC
with a scalable and mobile capability in the JOA from which to exercise C2 or provide
strike, power projection, fire support, and logistic capabilities where and when needed.
what is sea basing predicated on
WHAT reduces footprint ashore, minimizes the need to place vunnerable assets ashore, sea base can be established without reliance on HN suport
PREDICATED ON abilit to attain local mairitime superiority
to determine if conditions have been met that no longer require seabsing capabilities or applications, ask these questions
To determine if conditions have been met that no longer require seabasing
capabilities or applications, the following questions should be posed and answered:
(1) Are APODs and/or SPODs capable of supporting continued military
deployment, employment, sustainment, and reconstitution?
(2) Is FP sufficient?
(3) Is there an internal transportation network available?
(4) Post APOD and/or SPOD establishment operations ashore may warrant the
sea base remain. Will throughput be sufficient to support operational needs?
(5) Does the sea base provide additional flexibility, security, or additional
distribution capability?
