Reseña del libro "Naval Operations Concept 2010: Implementing the Maritime Strategy (en Inglés)"
Naval Operations Concept 2010 (NOC 10) describes when, where and how U.S. naval forces will contribute to enhancing security, preventing conflict and prevailing in war in order to guide Maritime Strategy implementation in a manner consistent with national strategy. NOC 10 describes the ways with which the sea services will achieve the ends articulated in A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower (CS-21). The integration of naval capabilities to achieve specific joint mission objectives is the responsibility of commanders, who formulate their concepts of operations to achieve advantage and decision. In contrast, Service operational concepts are designed to describe the capabilities that operational commanders can expect the Services to provide, and indicate selected ways these capabilities can be integrated to achieve mission success. Consequently, NOC 10 is designed to inform development of joint concepts, plans and experimentation. The term "naval" and "the Naval Service" are used throughout this publication to encompass Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard personnel and organizations. NOC 10 articulates the ways naval forces are employed to achieve the strategy conveyed in CS-21. Published in 2007, CS-21 described a set of core capabilities that added maritime security and humanitarian assistance and disaster response (HA/DR) to the traditional forward presence, deterrence, sea control, and power projection. Not to be viewed as discrete missions or functions, these core capabilities are intrinsically linked and mutually supporting enablers for achieving the Naval Service's strategic imperatives: Regionally concentrated, credible combat power to: Limit regional conflict with deployed, decisive maritime power, Deter major power war, Win our Nation's wars. Globally distributed, mission-tailored maritime forces to: Contribute to homeland defense in depth, Foster and sustain cooperative relationships with more international partners, Prevent or contain local disruptions before they impact the global System.
