3. Relationships of Maritime Strategies and Plans
6. Genesis NSPD-41 / HSPD-13, “Maritime Security Policy” (Dec 21, 2004)
- established MSPCC
- required development of NSMS
- required creation of 8 maritime security plans 180 days from date of NSPD/HSPD (June ’05) As might be expected, the Maritime Security Policy Coordination Committee is made up of representatives of:
…..The Vice President, the SECSTATE, Secretary of the Treasury, SECDEF, the Attorney General, Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Commerce, SECDOT, Secretary of Energy, SECDHS, Director-OMB, U.S. Trade Representative, Director of Central Intelligence, CJCS, Director-FBI, Director NCTC.
The NSMS was to be a an effort led by both the SECDEF and SECDHS to “lead a Federal effort to develop a comprehensive National Strategy for Maritime Security to better integrate and synchronize the existing Department level strategies and ensure effective/efficient implementation.”
and, of course, we are all familiar with the myriad of supporting strategies that have followed suit under the NSMS. Notably, these follow-on plans were to be guided by the security principles of the overarching NSMS.

7. Entering Premises MTS contributes to global economy
Oceans are the domain of everyone
Maritime domain is large/harsh/dangerous and difficult to surveil and “police”
large global common not under any jurisdiction
Few coastal nations have a “coast guard” to police their territorial seas/EEZ
This difficulty facilitates + conceals illegal activity
For above reasons, since 9-11, the maritime domain and the MTS have become a desired AO + “modus operandi” for terrorists. ….and to complement this last point, recent intelligence indicates that the Al-Qaida organization is purchasing ships and learning how to operate them and the maritime infrastructure. ….and to complement this last point, recent intelligence indicates that the Al-Qaida organization is purchasing ships and learning how to operate them and the maritime infrastructure.
8. Threats to Maritime Security Nation-States (conventional)
Terrorists (WMD)
Transnational Criminal and Piracy threats (Straits of Malacca, South China Sea, Caribbean)
Environmental Destruction (DS/DS)
Illegal Seaborne Immigration
9. Strategic Objectives Defense of U.S. / prevention of WMD use
Detect/deter/interdict/defeat terrorist attacks in the maritime domain, and prevent unlawful exploitation
Protect maritime-related population centers and CI
Minimize Damage and Expedite Recovery
Safeguard oceans and its resources from unlawful exploitation/intentional critical damage
10. National Strategy for Maritime Security A model view of the NSMS. Note the foundation is maintaining commerce and mobility across borders. The overarching concern is for freedom of the seas The strategy identifies four strategic objectives and seeks to achieve them through five “actions”A model view of the NSMS.

11. Strategic Actions Enhance International Cooperation
Maximize maritime domain awareness
Embed Security into commercial Practices
Deploy Layered Security
Assure continuity of the MTS
12. Enhance Intn’l Cooperation Standardized international security and WCO organizations
Use of automation for security
Rapid exchange of intel amongst/across international realm
Offering $ help/training in enhancing port security
ISPS, Maritime liaison officers
13. Maximize Domain Awareness Vessel Detection (AIS)
Notice of Arrival (eNOA’s)
Sensor technology
International coalitions to share intel/awareness
14. Embed Security into Commercial Practices Close partnership into Government and Private maritime sector.
eNOA
Both Gov’t and Private entity PVA’s
Access to private waterfront facilities
Surveillance/security of private waterfront facilities
15. Layered Security Means security measures at each of following points of vulnerability: transportation, staff, passengers, conveyances, access control, cargo, ports and security en route
DHS, DOJ, DOD and DOS will collaboratively work together to integrate/align all USG maritime security programs (NSPD-41/HSPD-13)
16. Layered Security (cont’d.) Physical Protection
Physical Cargo Inspection
Interdiction of pers and materials
Military and LE response
17. Assure Continuity of MTS Assure continuity of MTS for vital commerce and defense readiness:
-common framework w/clearly defined roles for those charged with response and recovery
- ready forces are properly trained/equipped (WMD)
- carefully prepared/exercised plans
- extensive coordination among public, private & intn’l communities
18. Supporting Implementation Plans Annex A:
- National Plan to Achieve MDA
- Global Maritime Intel Integration Plan
- MOTR Plan
- International Outreach/Coordination Plan
- MIRP
- MTS Security System Recommendations
- Maritime Commerce Security Plan
- Domestic Outreach Plan
22. Conclusions Concerted application of collective capabilities to:
- increase awareness of MDA
- enhance maritime security frameworks domestically + internationally
- deploy layered security based on LE authority, private sector competencies + military capability
- pursue R&D of WMD detection capability
- improve response posture/capability
23. Questions ?
It is the policy of the United States to take all necessary and appropriate actions, consistent with U.S. law, treaties and other international agreements to which the United States is a party, and customary international law as determined for the United States by the President, to enhance the security of and protect the U.S. interests in the Maritime Domain.”
