Here's at least one part of the Navy establishment that understands the Navy's role in a topsy-turvy, hybrid warfare kind of world.
The good news, at least for the Navy, is that mounting troubles in the littorals represent a “growth marketplace,” and the services’ relevance is “growing exponentially,” says Greene’s brief, given at a conference on irregular warfare last month. The Navy is uniquely suited to provide “persistent engagement” in those trouble spots so that they don’t devolve into catastrophic failed states.
"...the general guidance from OSD is for the Navy to expand security force assistance, improve general purpose and special operations forces integration and increase the number of aerial drones and other sensors."
Spot on - it's unfortunate the demand signal from the combatant commanders has taken this long to trickle down through OSD.
Hat Trick - RH
