Potomac Institute Climate Change Impacts in the Pacific Implications for US Environmental and Hu

By General Alfred Gray, USMC (Ret.) and LeGen George Flynn, USMC (Ret.)

The Center for Adaptation and Innovation has released an occasional paper on “Naval Maneuver Warfare - Linking Sea Control and Power Projection.” The paper, authored by Gen Al Gray, USMC (Ret.) and LtGen George Flynn, USMC (Ret.), recommends the development of a new Naval Operating Concept (NOC) to better define the linkages between sea control and power projection and to understand the contributions of all warfare elements in the execution of a naval campaign. A NOC would also close the operational concept gap that currently exists between strategy and tactics. The Maritime Strategy of 1984 and all the related supporting actions provide a great example of what is needed now.
