Other military services train and deploy or wait for surge requirements to emerge. For the Coast Guard, “24/7” is the reality of operational tempo and demands. “Deployment” is not a phase of the development of the force; it is an everyday activity. Strategic Culture and Its Relationship to Naval Strategy. 24 Roger W. Barnett The Chief of Naval Operations has called for the creation of a new maritime strategy. Its predecessor of the 1980s was looked upon favorably by the naval community because it was in harmony with Navy strategic culture. If a new strategy is to be successful, it too must resonate with Navy strategic culture. The Limits of Intelligence in Maritime Counterproliferation Operations . 35 Craig H. Allen The long-term practical and political success of the Proliferation Security Initiative will be determined in large measure by the availability of timely and accurate intelligence, and by whether decision makers and operators are more willing to err on the side of safety or caution. Asia Rising China’s Future Nuclear Submarine Force Insights from Chinese Writings. 55 Andrew S. Erickson and Lyle J. Goldstein While Western defense analysts have tended to focus on China’s diesel submarine force, Chinese open-source writings suggest that PRC strategists are keenly aware that nuclear submarines form a potent means to project power into far-flung sea areas and also may be critical to Beijing’s evolving strategic deterrence objectives.

Grubb, U.S. Navy The Republic of China owns one of the world’s great merchant marines. But would the ships it has registered overseas run a Chinese blockade? Could Taiwan sustain itself, even at a basic level, if they did not? Leadership and Decision Duty at All Costs. 103 George M. Clifford III When, if ever, should an American military officer request to depart in protest because of policy objections? When, if ever, should an officer who has departed for such reasons speak publicly about those objections? An Episcopal priest (and retired U.S. Navy chaplain) offers a model for use in answering those and other such anguishing questions. Organization and Management Purple Medicine The Case for a Joint Medical Command . 129 Capt. Arthur M. Smith, MC, U.S. Navy Reserve (Retired), Capt. David A. Lane, MC, U.S. Navy, and Vice Adm. James A. Zimble, MC, U.S. Navy (Retired) The Military Health System requires radical restructuring to ensure medical readiness, improve cost management, and integrate health care delivery. A new Joint Medical Command would be able to articulate—and implement—more effectively the medical support required by an increasingly joint and interdependent defense establishment.
