Q

why does the JFC establish maritime AO

A

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

Q

determines the land/maritime AO

A

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

Q

command by negotiation

A

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.

Q
A

58
Q

benefit of exerting Naval influence

A

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.

59
Q

benefits of a sea base

A

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.

60
Q

what is sea basing predicated on

A

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

61
Q

to determine if conditons have been met that no longer require seabsing capabilities or applications, ask these questions

A

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?

62
Q

actions during joint maritime counterdrug operations

A

c. Joint maritime CD operations:
(1) Use intelligence sources to target specific persons, vessels, and aircraft
involved in the drug trade.
(2) Patrol to detect targets of interest using electronic, visual, and intelligence
means.
(3) Monitor, track, and hand off targets of interest.
(4) Intercept, sweep, and potentially search vessels.
(5) Apprehend suspects and seize vessels and contraband.

63
Q

why are amphibs used for NEO

A

Joint maritime forces, especially amphibious forces, are often used to conduct
noncombatant evacuation operations. This is primarily due to their forward-deployed
posture; ability to maintain forces afloat, thus not taxing the infrastructure ashore or raising
tensions around the US mission or toward US presence; an ability to provide additional
forces should the security situation warrant; their self-sustainability; and the ability to
transition to other types of operations or provide access for the deployment of other forces.

A

Coast Guard

65
Q

A

A maritime pre-positioning force (MPF) operation is the rapid deployment and
assembly of a MAGTF in a secure area using intratheater and intertheater airlift and
forward-deployed maritime pre-positioning ships. An MPF operation is a mission-tailored,
strategic deployment option that is global in nature, naval in character, and suitable for
various employment scenarios.

67
Q

MOTR Plan

Appendix 11 (Intelligence Estimate) to annex B (Intellgience)

82
Q

outcomes of METOC planning

A

METOC planning activities identify METOC information
gaps, prioritize METOC capability requirements, develop
METOC collection plans, assess METOC capabilities to
identify shortfalls, and develop mitigation strategies to
Executive Summary

address those shortfalls. Specific outputs of this LOE are
the METOC estimate, which identifies available METOC
capabilities and anticipated shortfalls, annex H
(Meteorological and Oceanographic Operations), and
inputs to annex B (Intelligence) for the campaign or
contingency plan.

83
Q

joint functions of METOC

A

Intelligence - how METOC affects our/enemy employment capabilities
fires - move/maneuver/control/target select
