This cover image completes our centen- nial observance of the world cruise of the U.S. Navy’s “Great White Fleet,” which ended in early 1909. We marked the hun- dredth anniversary of its December 1907 departure with Professor James R. Holmes’s “‘A Striking Thing’: Leadership, Strategic Communications, and Roose- velt’s Great White Fleet,” in our Winter 2008 issue (which actually appeared in late 2007). Henry Reuterdahl, born in Sweden, was a war correspondent and artist with Col- lier’s magazine during the Spanish- American War. Chosen to accompany the Great White Fleet as correspondent, he sailed in the battleship USS Minnesota from Hampton Roads to San Francisco. Reuterdahl painted this view in 1910 for Truman H. Newberry, who had served under President Theodore Roosevelt as Secretary of the Navy in 1908–1909. Newberry’s grandson presented the painting to the Hope Club, which loaned it to the Naval War College Museum for its “Great White Fleet” exhibit between January and April 2008. https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/nwc-review/vol62/iss1/23 2 T:\Academic\NWC Review\Winter 2009\NWCR Winter 09\NWCR W09.vp Thursday, December 18, 2008 11:10:52 AM Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen War College: Winter 2009 Review NAVAL WAR COLLEGE REVIEW Winter 2009 Volume 62, Number 1 NAVAL WAR COLLEGE PRESS 686 Cushing Road Newport, RI 02841-1207 Published by U.S. Naval War College Digital Commons, 2009 3 T:\Academic\NWC Review\Winter 2009\NWCR Winter 09\NWCR W09.vp Thursday, December 18, 2008 11:11:21 AM Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen Naval War College Review, Vol. 62 [2009], No. 1, Art. 23 NAVAL WAR COLLEGE PRESS ADVISORY BOARD PRESIDENT, NAVAL WAR COLLEGE Adam Bellow Rear Adm.

Green The debate on U.S. policy for Asia matters a great deal for the next administration and also for the U.S. Navy. A distinguished scholar/practitioner examines recent thinking and future prospects. Africa Thinking through U.S. Strategic Options for Africa. 31 General Carlton W. Fulford, Jr., U.S. Marine Corps (Retired) It is high time for the United States to define its strategic goals and objectives with regard to Africa, to coordinate the actions of its departments and agencies there, and, most important, to help African partners improve governance, security, and economic opportunity. The Global Fleet Station A Powerful Tool for Preventing Conflict . 45 Kathi A. Sohn The Africa Partnership Station can be invaluable as a model for collaborative, integrated efforts on the continent to prevent or end violent conflict and to increase security. The U.S. Navy Into Africa . 59 Jonathan Stevenson The Africa Partnership Station of early 2008 offers a more promising model for the nascent U.S. Africa Command than do “kinetic” operating modes employed by U.S. forces there in the recent past.

Learning the Hard Way Force Protection 1983–2000 . 107 Lieutenant Commander John Callaway, U.S. Navy The bombing of the USS Cole in Aden in 2000 was less a precursor of 9/11 than a fulfillment of patterns of learning—and failure—in force protection that began with the 1983 Marine barracks attack in Lebanon and the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing. What did the military learn over those seventeen years, and how well? Through a Mirror Darkly The Face of Future War, 1871–2005.

    Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 30, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33745 SUMMARY RL33745 Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) September 30, 2021 Program: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke The Aegis ballistic missile defense (BMD) program, which is carried out by the Missile Defense Specialist in Naval Affairs Agency (MDA) and the Navy, gives Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers a capability for conducting BMD operations. BMD-capable Aegis ships operate in European waters to defend Europe from potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as Iran, and in in the Western Pacific and the Persian Gulf to provide regional defense against potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as North Korea and Iran. MDA’s FY2022 budget submission states that “by the end of FY 2022 there will be 48 total BMDS [BMD system] capable ships requiring maintenance support.” The Aegis BMD program is funded mostly through MDA’s budget. The Navy’s budget provides additional funding for BMD-related efforts. MDA’s proposed FY2021 budget requested a total of $1,647.9 million (i.e., about $1.6 billion) in procurement and research and development funding for Aegis BMD efforts, including funding for two Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania. MDA’s budget also includes operations and maintenance (O&M) and military construction (MilCon) funding for the Aegis BMD program. Issues for Congress regarding the Aegis BMD program include the following: whether to approve, reject, or modify MDA’s annual procurement and research and development funding requests for the program; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the execution of Aegis BMD program efforts; what role, if any, the Aegis BMD program should play in defending the U.S.

  • Sailors Aboard the USS Cole Tell Their Stories
    Sailors aboard the USS Cole tell their stories Adapted from the broadcast audio segment; use the audio player to listen to the story in its entirety. Master Chief Petty Officer Pamela Jacobsen: “The first thing I remember about that morning going aloft was it was really hot. I don’t know how people live there and stand the heat. I knew I didn’t want to stay up there too long. I remember seeing the port like a place that was carved out of a piece of sand to me.” Lieutenant JG Robert Overturf: “We got there before sunrise. There was this field littered with sunken ships. Destruction all over. To think that we were going to pull into that [port] to refuel was a little bit odd.” Kirk Lippold, Commanding Officer of USS Cole: “I think everybody realized that there was an elevated threat level. But when we pulled in, there was no evidence of a specific threat for that port or for our ship. Shortly after 10:30am, we started refueling the ship and it was routine.” Lt. Elroy Newton: “I went down to the oil lab to take station, and my boss told me, ‘Hey, Chief, you were down here the last two times. Go top side and I will go ahead and take the oil lab.’ So that’s what he did. I headed topside. I took the headset and then we were kind of joking back and forth a little bit. About two minutes after that is when we felt and heard a huge explosion.

Under its new Sponsor-A-Service Member program, the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs put 18 visiting sailors from the USS Antietam in touch with a local family who voluntarily hosted them while the ship was in Saipan earlier this month. “I want to thank... everyone on your island paradise for making our visit ...on Saipan the best Port Call I’ve ever had - ever!” said Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, ship chaplain. “Your kindness and hospitality were like nothing we had ever experienced before.” Mite and other sailors were welcomed into the home of Noel and Rita Chargualaf, the first of Saipan residents to sign up for the program. “Every single man who participated has just raved about the wonderful time they had with the families,” said White. “You truly live in an island paradise and the people on your island are the nicest folks I have ever met.” “For the most, they were just thrilled to be around children and families.

The SM-2 forms part of the Aegis ballistic-missile defense (BMD) program. In “A Double-Edged Sword: Ballistic-Missile Defense and U.S. Alli- ances,” Robert C. Watts IV explores the impact of BMD on America’s relationship with NATO, Japan, and South Korea, finding that the forward-deployed BMD capability that the Navy’s Aegis destroyers provide has served as an important cement to these beneficial alliance relationships.

  • 2017 Progress Report
    Department of Defense Response to Executive Order 13287, “Preserve America,” Section 3: Reporting Progress on the Identification, Protection, and Use of Federal Historic Properties Includes Information on the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force fiscal years 2014-2016 October 2017 Defense Section 3 Report 2 Introduction This report satisfies the requirements of Section 3(c) of Executive Order (EO) 13287, “Preserve America,”1 for the Department of Defense (DoD). The Preserve America EO directs each Federal agency with real property management responsibilities to submit reports on its “progress in identifying, protecting, and using historic properties in its ownership.” The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) developed questions to assist Federal agencies in meeting the reporting requirements of the Preserve America EO. DoD’s consolidated answers to those questions posed by the ACHP includes information on the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force for fiscal years (FYs) 2014-2016.2 This report references policy and guidance documents from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the Military Departments. These documents provide the framework necessary to balance and integrate proactive management of cultural resources with all aspects of the military mission. This report also provides summary data on the DoD Cultural Resources Program. The DoD is a large and complex Federal agency with the critical mission to provide the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States.3 The DoD’s installations and facilities are critical pieces of this national defense mission. The DoD manages the largest portfolio of real property assets (structures and buildings), which includes historic properties, in the Federal government.
