WASEX Planning Factors UNCLASSIFIED
WASEX Concept • WASEX: • A “War at Sea Exercise” to practice and/or rehearse a sustained large-scale live maneuver • Mission: • Protect the Carrier and Expeditionary Strike Groups from OPFOR Surface Action Group conducting blockade and anti-ship operations for a 48 hour window within a defined, high-density battle space during RIMPAC Force Integration Training (FIT) Phase UNCLASSIFIED
WASEX Concept(cont.) • Mission Objective: • Find, Fix, Track, Target enemy surface formations, submarines, and threat aircraft in order to ensure no blue losses while the CSG/ESG conducts air and surface operations • Purpose: • Demonstrate resolve in supporting and protecting regional allies and friends while exercising freedom of navigation in international waters IAW international law and RIMPAC ROE UNCLASSIFIED
WASEX Construct • War at Sea Exercise: • CSG/ESG v SAG • CCSG9/CESG assumes CTF 170 duties and reports to MOC • Strike group is free to maneuver as required • Generic Air-to-Surface, Surface-to-Surface, Sub-surface threats IAW RIMPAC Order of Battle • Dynamic Targeting (DT) / Time Sensitive Targeting (TST) as required • One, continuous 48 hour event • Force Integration Training (FIT) Phase UNCLASSIFIED
WASEX Constraints • (RFI) Is CTF 176 doing their own WASEX brief? If so, does their information need to be in this brief? • (RFI) Does CTF 176 WASEX conflict w/ ESG Backload? • Changes: • Added times for follow-on events • Modified delays language • CVN will operate within 120 nm of Hickam AFB during fixed-wing flight operations • CVW-2 required to conduct divert operations • Not Blue Water Certified • CSG/ESG concurrently conducting WASEX • CSG/ESG concurrently conducting TASWEX • Geography divides southern Air and Sea Space along the central HWY • RIMPAC schedule does not allow for delays in event execution (RIMPAC schedule compressed…) • CSG: TASWEX immediately following WASEX • TASWEX scheduled to commence 1200 on 22 JUL • ESG: PHOTOEX immediately following WASEX • All CSG/ESG ships must be in position NLT 0500 on 25 JUL UNCLASSIFIED
