  1. Mainstreaming mine warfare: Fleet initiatives C N A Sabrina R. Edlow CNA 26 July 2001 MINWARA conference

  2. Unclassified MIW Framework Not embedded in current CVBGs • Countermining1 • Intelligence collection and surveillance • Notification of imminent mining • Interdiction • Post-interdiction intelligence evaluation and dissemination • Mine countermeasures • Active MCM • Passive MCM: signature control/threat awareness • Mining: offensive, defensive, protective 1C5F/CTF 50

  3. Unclassified Dedicated Dedicated Org Supporting Org Assigned 1999 2005 2010 + Parallel evolutions Mainstreaming mine warfare JV2010 Forward from the Sea OMFTS Transition landscape

  4. Unclassified Mainstreaming Doctrine Organization Training Materiel Leadership and Education People Facilities + = Systems Capabilities Realizing capabilities

  5. Unclassified Transition time line 1st warfighter package—FY05 All CVBGs/ARGs —FY2010+ BEGIN NOW On-scene warfighting capabilities Mainstreaming Organic systems In conjunction with system development In conjunction with system introduction

  6. Unclassified MIW Force MCM Force Fleet Level of knowledge Navy Fleet Present “top heavy” condition Entire Navy Envisioned condition with a “solid” foundation Envisioned growth in MIW knowledge

  9. Unclassified MIW Framework Not embedded in current CVBGs • Countermining1 • Intelligence collection and surveillance • Notification of imminent mining • Interdiction • Post-interdiction intelligence evaluation and dissemination • Mine countermeasures • Active MCM • Passive MCM: signature control/threat awareness • Mining: offensive, defensive, protective 1C5F/CTF 50

  10. Intelligence collection and surveillance • Critical elements • Realistic mine threat assessment • Tailor to likely mine laying process • Adequate coverage requires high priority • Begin early

  11. Notification of imminent mining • Critical elements • Well-defined and achievable mine threat indicators • Dovetailed to interdiction plan for rapid response • Pre-greased ROE • Begin early N2 N3 JAG

  12. Interdiction and intel evaluation • Critical elements • Dovetailed to mine threat indicators for rapid response • Assets available for tracking/destruction; tied with ROE • Potential targets: land, surface, submarine • Requires short-tether; assets limited by competing missions • Well-matched, permissive ROE • Interdiction assets equipped to provide timely intel evaluation

  13. Mine countermeasures • Critical elements • Well-defined and achievable mine countermeasures plan, to include force protection • Asset availability, given competing missions • Timely dissemination of mine threat areas

  14. Mining • Critical elements • Well-defined and achievable goals and mining plan • Asset availability, given competing missions • Potential losses (re: Desert Storm) • Permissive ROE

  15. Fleet initiatives • C2F • MIW assessment for JTFEXes: GW, HST, ENT; TR (Aug 01) • Challenges: SOOT MIW operational experience, more realistic exercise scripting (intel, TCS, ROE) • Develop cross-JTFEX trends/lessons learned • Expand throughout IDTC, leveraging CCDG-2/ DESRON-26 IDTC initiatives; more focus on ARG • C3F • MIW assessments for JTFEX to begin with STE in Nov 01 • CNA serving as SOOT, facilitating more realistic scripting

  16. Unclassified Mainstreaming/transition to organic MCM focus • Mainstreaming–independent of organic transition • Command structure; signature control/threat awareness • ISR, I&W, ROE, interdiction (land/sea, air/surface/subsurface), and mining given competing missions • Needs to span entire IDTC, not just JTFEX, and tie to certification process • Navy committed to deploy first organic MCM-capable CVBG in FY05 (actual systems available tbd) • As organic capabilities are realized • Mine reconnaissance, localization, neutralization, clearance, and avoidance given competing missions; command structure
