  • 1 the Royal Thai Navy's Theoretical Application of the Maritime Hybrid
    The Royal Thai Navy’s Theoretical Application of the Maritime Hybrid Warfare Concept by Hadrien T. Saperstein In the maritime strategic thought community there has been much talk about the theoretical application of the Maritime Hybrid Warfare concept by second and third-tier naval powers in the Northeast and Southeast Asia sub-regions.i On that theme, a recent publication on the Royal Thai Navy’s maritime and naval strategic thought concluded that the organisation stands at an existential crossroad with the advent of maritime hybrid threats in the grey-zone warfare era and should therefore consider operationalising the aforesaid multi-dimensional maritime concept to its organisational system and material capabilities.ii Since the publication released date though, this conclusion has only become more poignant in light of recent reports that China, a country that has applied the Maritime Hybrid Warfare since 2012,iii has signed a secret agreement giving it access to the Ream Naval Base in Cambodia.iv This newfound foothold at the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand puts a first-tier naval power – the People's Liberation Army Navy – now within striking distance to one of the Royal Thai Navy’s most important naval bases. In response to this event the following article analyses the manner by which the Royal Thai Navy, a second-tier naval power in the Southeast Asia sub-region, could theoretically operationalise the Maritime Hybrid Warfare concept in an effort to combat the soon-to-be present maritime hybrid threats in its internationally-recognised

  • Students Deploy, Provide Emergency Communications Support by Kenneth A
    U.S. Navy photo by Javier Chagoya Students Deploy, Provide Emergency Communications Support By Kenneth A. Stewart The Naval Postgraduate School’s Hastily Formed Networks (HFN) Research Group recently de- ployed to the Central Philippines to support disaster recovery efforts in the wake of Typhoon Hai- yan. HFN Research Group Director, and NPS Department of Information Sciences Lecturer Brian Steckler deployed to the region in advance of his student team to conduct early communications assessments. “I am working with the Marine Corps Pacific Forces Experimentation Center in support of the Third Marine Battalion (3rd MEB). The 3rd MEB is in charge of the initial Marine response to Typhoon Haiyan,” said Steckler. “My first step was to find out where they want to use our commu- nications capabilities and to conduct an assessment to determine local communications needs.” The Hastily Formed Networks group is not just in it for the academic value. We have deployed to other major disasters where we have provided real support to people in desperate need.” U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Travis Beeson HFN teams equipped with satellite-enabled, handheld devices were given the green light to con- duct rapid Information and Communication Technology assessments. NPS’ HFN team also used the advanced communications tools at their disposal to create hastily formed networks. “The communications link is critical, we cannot coordinate if we can’t communicate,” said NPS student and U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Travis Beeson of Versailles, Ohio. “We establish emergency communications between critical HA/DR centers, hospitals and NGOs. According to Steckler, a major complication in a situation like this is aid distribution — some ar- eas do not get enough assistance and others get too much.

The agency is also facilitating equipment transfers to bolster the capabilities of Japan’s partners, with the most recent example being the donation of fi ve Beechcraft TC-90 trainer aircraft to the Philippines to bolster that nation’s maritime security.
