Navy Warfare Publication Nwp 5-01


Book Description

Navy Warfare Publication NWP 5-01 Navy Planning Dec 2013 This publication is in essence about the concepts of decisionmaking, and it provides the basic process for planning Navy operations. The principles contained within can be applied by any echelon-on a ship, in a strike group, or in a task force. The process can be applied by a commander facing a conventional threat such as another nation's navy or in a conflict dominated by asymmetric tactics and an unconventional adversary. Moreover, the principles contained within are applicable to a variety of other evolutions, some not necessarily operational in nature, in which a commander may be involved. Though this publication likely will find its greatest utility with a Navy component commander (NCC), Navy numbered fleet commander (NFC), or a joint force maritime component commander (JFMCC), it will refer to Navy organizations in general, regardless of level of command. Furthermore, the Navy planning process (NPP) is compatible with joint planning guidelines and procedures of JP 5-0, Joint Operation Planning as well as the United States Marine Corps' planning process (MCPP) as reflected in MCWP 5-1, Marine Corps Planning Process. This publication alerts the reader when the NPP deviates from either of these two planning processes. Thus, Navy commands following the process can effectively integrate into and operate as part of a joint force.




Intelligence Support to Naval Operations Novem


Book Description

Navy Warfare Publication NWP 2-01 Intelligence Support to Naval Operations November 2010 Fourteen years have elapsed since Navy Warfare Publication (NWP) 2-01, Intelligence Support to Operations Afloat (January 1997), was disseminated to the fleet. This introduction cannot begin to convey the changes that have occurred in the global security environment and the elevation of information to a "main battery" of the United States Navy's (USN's) arsenal. Naval Intelligence has a proud and rich history extending well over 100 years; however, it is just a part of the entire Intelligence Community (IC), military and civilian, supporting America's forces. Naval forces are proud to be at the forefront of joint and combined operations, and the events of the recent decade further illustrate the indispensable role of intelligence across the range of military operations (ROMO). The success of these operations depended upon the delivery of accurate and timely intelligence to the President, the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF), the combatant commanders (CCDRs), and the aircrews and ships operating around the world. The attacks of September 11, 2001 substantially changed the strategic landscape and shaped our national security strategy. Today, combatant commands plan for a wide range of operations against a similarly wide range of threats. The Navy continually refines its core capabilities to support those plans, and correspondingly, the IC anticipates, identifies, and seeks to understand those threats in detail. The range of threats facing planners and their executors today has grown exponentially and in an asymmetrical fashion. Decision makers rely on intelligence to provide them an operational advantage by enabling the selection of optimal courses of action (COAs) in a time-sensitive maritime environment. NWP 2-01 is a comprehensive reference detailing the intelligence support available to the naval commander in the successful planning and execution of operations. NWP 2-01 is by nature a refresher and ready resource for the Information Dominance Corps (IDC) intelligence professionals, information warfare officers, and cryptologic technicians; however, the target audience is the operational commander. The publication's length and content are specifically tailored to ensure a practical and valuable reference for the operational decision maker. NWP 2-01 is the foundation for a series of proposed follow-on Navy tactics, techniques, and procedures (NTTP) publications.







International Maritime Security Law


Book Description

International Maritime Security Law by James Kraska and Raul Pedrozo defines an emerging interdisciplinary field of law and policy comprised of norms, legal regimes, and rules to address today's hybrid threats to the global order of the oceans. Worldwide shipping commerce, fishing fleets, pleasure craft, and coastal states are exposed to the menace of offshore terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, piracy, smuggling, robbery, marine insurgency and anti-access threats. Land-based institutions and maritime constabulary forces operate within an increasingly integrated network that blends elements of humanitarian law, human rights law, criminal law, and law of the sea, with inspection regimes, commercial enterprise, and marine safety and environmental stewardship. The new authorities fuse together a global maritime partnership among states, international organizations and commercial interests to protect the maritime commons from the most dangerous risks and hazards.




Naval Warfare Publication Naval Intelligence Nwp 2-0 March 2014


Book Description

Navy Warfare Publication (NWP) 2-0, Naval Intelligence, is the capstone doctrinal publication for the Navy Intelligence Community. This publication will be used as the foundation of the Navy Intelligence doctrine development effort in the creation of a complete series of publications that will provide Naval Intelligence professionals with foundational concepts and practices that characterize effective intelligence support to naval operations. NWP 2-0 provides a foundation for the conduct of intelligence to commanders and Naval Intelligence professionals with an overview of the unique characteristics of intelligence support to maritime operations at the operational and tactical levels of war. While the publication is written for the Naval Intelligence professional, it is also intended for use by maritime operators, Joint, Agency, and Coalition partners who would like to obtain a greater appreciation for enduring naval intelligence principles and practices that are critical to fleet operational success. The concepts and standards described in this capstone document are integral to the three pillars of Information Dominance - Assured Command and Control, Battlespace Awareness, and Integrated Fires. These foundational concepts are critical to the conduct of intelligence and the Information Dominance warfighting discipline across the fleet.

Oceanography and Mine Warfare


Book Description

Environmental information is important for successful planning and execution of naval operations. A thorough understanding of environmental variability greatly increases the likelihood of mission success. To ensure that naval forces have the most up-to-date capabilities, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has an extensive environmental research program. This research, to be of greatest use to the warfighter, needs to be directed towards assisting and solving battlefield problems. To increase research community understanding of the operational demands placed on naval operators and to facilitate discussion between these two groups, the National Research Council's (NRC) Ocean Studies Board (OSB), working with ONR and the Office of the Oceanographer of the Navy, convened five previous symposia on tactical oceanography. Oceanography and Mine Warfare examines the following issues: (1) how environmental data are used in current mine warfare doctrine, (2) current procedures for in situ collection of data, (3) the present capabilities of the Navy's oceanographic community to provide supporting information for mine warfare operations, and (4) the ability of oceanographic research and technology developments to enhance current mine warfare capabilities. This report primarily concentrates on the importance of oceanographic data for mine countermeasures.
