MARITIME STRATEGY

THE MARITIME STRATEGIC CONCEPT

• THERE IS A GLOBAL SYSTEM OF INTERDEPENDENCE,
  CRITICAL TO THE PROSPERITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
  AND THE GREATER GLOBAL COMMUNITY.
• THE SYSTEM IS SUBJECT TO A SPECTRUM OF DISRUPTION
  FROM MAJOR WAR TO NATURAL DISASTERS
• MARITIME FORCES
• DEFEND OUR HOMELAND AND WIN OUR NATIONS WARS
• PLAY A UNIQUE AND CRITICAL ROLE IN PREVENTING AND
  MITIGATING DISRUPTIVE SHOCKS TO THE GLOBAL SYSTEM
  
• FOSTER RELATIONSHIPS THAT HELP SUSTAIN CONFIDENCE
  IN THE GLOBAL SYSTEM AND ALLOW IT TO FLOURISH

ALTHOUGH OUR FORCES CAN SURGE WHEN NECESSARY TO
RESPOND TO CRISES, TRUST AND COOPERATION CANNOT
BE SURGED.
