1.5.2 Tailored Expeditionary Forces
“...From The Sea” also presented the concept of tailorable expeditionary forces. To support this concept, the Navy and Marine Corps must be restructured around flexible,
forward-deployed Naval Expeditionary Forces which expand on and capitalize upon the
Naval Services’ traditional expeditionary roles. “From the Sea” states “Naval
Expeditionary Forces provide unobtrusive forward presence which may be intensified or withdrawn as required on short notice”. The Naval Service will provide the Unified
Commanders in Chief (CINCs) an Expeditionary Force Package, flexibly and dynamically configured from the available Naval Forces, which ranges from an Aircraft Carrier Battle
Group (CVBG) and its assigned aircraft, submarines, and surface ships, to Special
Operations Forces (SOF) teams. The Submarine Force and its communications systems must be capable of supporting this flexible Expeditionary Force during operations with joint and combined task forces.
1.5.3 Submarine Force
Mirroring the changes in Navy-wide mission priorities, the Submarine Force has shifted its mission emphasis from global sea control to the support of regional conflict ashore [2]. The
Submarine Force Strategic Plan provides a Submarine Force Vision and Mission Statement.
The Vision statement states:
“The U.S. Submarine Force will remain the world’s preeminent submarine force. We will aggressively incorporate new and innovative technologies to maintain dominance throughout the maritime battlespace. We will promote the multiple capabilities of the submarines and develop tactics to support national objectives through battlespace preparation, sea control, supporting the land battle and strategic deterrence. We will fill the role as the Navy’s stealthy,
general purpose warship”.
The Submarine Force Mission statement states:
“The Submarine Force will provide the National Command Authority, Theater
Commanders and Joint Task Force Commanders with:
