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

pre-plan the actions of a force to an assessed threat and
delegate some warfare functions to subordinate
commanders.

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.

38
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.

39
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

40
Q

to determine if conditions 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?
