…The ability to project fires and employ forces from sea-based assets combined with their C2, ISR, and IO capabilities are formidable tools that JFCs can use to gain and maintain initiative. Maritime forces operating in…

…For example, one of the JFC’s objectives associated with the seize initiative phase of an operation might be to prevent the enemy’s navy from interfering with friendly force sea transit through a choke point…

…Even when joint forces are firmly established ashore, littoral operations provide JFCs with excellent opportunities to achieve leverage over the enemy by operational maneuver from the sea. Such operations can introduce significant size forces over relatively…

…For example, the ability to generate sufficient combat power through long-range air operations or from the sea can provide for effective force projection in the absence of timely or unencumbered access. Other opposed situations may…

…For example, the B-52 may be the most capable aerial platform for delivering land and sea mines, while the Tomahawk land attack missile may be the best weapon for engaging early warning sites. (2) Support…

Joint Operations Across the Range of Military Operations V-49 (2) JFCs can operate from an HQ platform at sea. Depending on the nature of the joint operation, a maritime commander can serve as the JFC…

…MISO provide a nonlethal capability to craft messages using a variety of print, audio, audio- visual, and electronic media, which can then be delivered by air, land, and sea-based means or through cyberspace to select…

…The JFC’s operational environment is the composite of the conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect employment of capabilities and bear on the decisions of the commander (see Figure IV-2). It encompasses physical areas and…

…Because the Navy’s “forward from the sea” concept and its large airpower capability, US Navy intelligence has a focus in many ways similar to Air Force intelligence. There are three main organizations that Airmen can…

… Analysts, and often their customers, recognize that they need to consider a wide range of factors that might bear on the question.  Analysts are prepared to explore a range of outcomes and are not…

…A JOA is an area of land, sea, and airspace, defined by a GCC or subordinate unified commander, in which a JFC (normally a CJTF) conducts military operations to accomplish a specific mission. JOAs are particularly…

…Physical Environment (1) Weather, terrain, and sea conditions can significantly affect operations and logistic support of the joint force and should be carefully assessed before sustained combat operations. Mobility of the force, integration and synchronization of…

…Operation DESERT STORM began with a major airpower effort—from both land and sea—against strategic targets; Iraqi air, land, and naval forces; logistic infrastructure; and command and control (C2). Land and special operations forces supported…

…These operations are conducted to protect US navigation, overflight, and related interests on, under, and over the seas against excessive maritime claims. Freedom of navigation is a sovereign right accorded by international law. (1) International law…

…Most airborne navigation and littoral operations depend on mean sea level (MSL) altitudes and elevations. Both can be accurate, but the problem is that several methods to convert between HAE and MSL are in use. This…

…The JFC may have to conduct offensive operations to neutralize or destroy enemy WMD capabilities before they can be brought to bear. Offensive measures include raids, strikes, and operations designed to locate and neutralize the threat…

…JTF HQ can be land- or sea-based with transitions between both basing options. JTFs are normally assigned a JOA. (4) Forming the joint force HQ and task organizing the joint force prior to operations can…
