Maddison, Royal Canadian Navy President’s Forum . 17 Command of the Sea An Old Concept Resurfaces in a New Form . 21 Robert C. Rubel “Command of the sea” is not and maybe should not be a doctrinal term, but its utility as a tool for strategic analysis has reemerged. Some may be uncomfortable with its hegemonic overtones, but current and sophisticated understanding of it should improve programmatic analysis and tactical development. Between Peace and the Air-Sea Battle A War at Sea Strategy . 35 Jeffrey E. Kline and Wayne P. Hughes, Jr. A war-at-sea strategy, by confining conflict to the sea without land invasion or strike, would provide U.S. political leadership less intrusive ways to deter war, resolve crises with less threat of escalation, and in peacetime inspire allied engagement. Building the Purple Ford An Affordable Approach to Jointness . 41 Robert P. Kozloski It can be argued that the inefficiencies that appalled Harry Truman during World War II are now worse, and more costly, despite several efforts since then to reform the Defense Department. But the “easy choice” of reducing end strength to survive the forthcoming budget reductions should be considered only after all means of reducing unnecessary overhead have been exhausted. Drowning Stability The Perils of Naval Nuclearization and Brinkmanship in the Indian Ocean . 64 Iskander Rehman The epicenter of Indo-Pakistani nuclear rivalry is drifting outward from the subcontinental land- mass into the Indian Ocean, from the dusty plains of Punjab and Rajasthan into the world’s most congested shipping lanes. If this haphazard naval nuclearization remains unchecked, its destabiliz- ing effect will spill over into the Persian Gulf and beyond.

The future may see new aspects of an old role, a “postmodern” naval diplomacy. German War Gaming . 106 Milan Vego Modern war gaming arose in Germany in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and greatly contributed to the superb quality of the German military in the twentieth. Aspects of the German approach would have substantial value for the U.S. military today.

Maddison, Com- mander Royal Canadian Navy, provides a tour d’horizon of the emergent maritime operational environment and the challenges it poses to the navies of the United States and its friends and allies around the globe. In an arresting comment, he notes that “the complex and dynamic interrelationships among influence, com- bat, and stabilization activities may lead to new and more adaptive approaches to campaign planning, as well as more flexible command organizations at the tacti- cal and operational levels both at sea and ashore. Fighting forces themselves will undoubtedly become much more extensively networked to meet the demands of a highly cluttered, confused, complex, and legally constrained battle space.” In such an environment, moreover, it is even more imperative for nations to work together to safeguard international maritime order, beginning with the deliberate nurturing of what he terms “strategic trust.” Admiral Maddison’s remarks were originally presented in the form of an address to students and faculty at the Naval War College.
