I think I might turn this into a series: #ExplainingMineWarfare (pt. 2) One of the biggest differences between mine warfare and more traditional (advertised) forms of naval conflict is its relationship to the environment. Both employing and countering naval mines require detailed analysis of weather patterns, tides, currents, water depth, oceanic composition, and sea floor make up. While this kind of information might relate to other types of combat operations - try telling a missile tech or gunner that the phase of the moon affects the trajectory of a Tomahawk or 5-inch shell and see how they react. Mine warfare's relationship with the environment becomes especially important when conducting mine countermeasures. Once a mine is placed and set it becomes a more-or-less static object and the challenge is to work through or around environmental impediments to find and neutralize it. Even in the most ideal circumstances the environmental conditions are, at best, a neutral factor when planning and executing operations. In the worst circumstances the environment actively impedes operations. While it might sound crazy, this means that whatever adversary placed the mines becomes largely irrelevant at the tactical level and the ocean takes their place. Essentially, mine countermeasures a somewhat bizarre struggle against nature in a high-stakes game of Where's Waldo. #minewarfare #minecountermeasures #environmentalanalysis #transitioningmilitary #navy

A few of the Marine Corps’ FD2030 big brains shared some thoughts that are worth a few minutes of my fellow Marines’ time. They could have easily gone further in their analysis of Title X and argued that FD2030 is less a revolution than it is a course correction. After 20+ years of trading the capabilities Title X demands for those the GWOT mission required and for acquisition efficiency in latching on to Joint programs we were big, heavy, and slow. That isn’t what the fleet will need us to be and we are starting to see evidence of it. FD2030 is the hard decision we needed to get back to our ideal fighting weight, get back on the water, and regain our operational mobility.

Excellent read! The team behind this article has presented a powerful argument. I couldn't agree more with their comments, especially regarding the requirement to provide a fleet marine force, seize or defend advanced naval bases, and conduct essential land operations in support of naval campaigns. While answering the nation's call in recent decades, we have drifted away from our roots as a maritime expeditionary force in readiness. Our focus has been on power projection, primarily through the ARG/MEU, but it's time to shift our path. We must contribute to sea control, deterrence, power projection, and security in the maritime environment as a land-based littoral force. The trends in maritime challenges make it clear that Force Design 2030 is the way forward.

Thought-provoking article concerning how today's conflicts influence and reinforce the central ideas behind the USMC's Force Design 2030. The critics would be wise to read an excerpt from the USA's 2005 Army Campaign Plan, which reflected its thinking before OIF consumed its attention: "Being expeditionary is far less about deployability than about operational and tactical agility, including the ability to reach routinely beyond organic capabilities for required effects [emphasis added]. If, in the process, the Army can leverage our sister services’ mobility, reach, and lethality to satisfy some of those mission requirements, all the better. To achieve that, we must expand our view of Army force design to encompass the entire range of available joint capabilities. [emphasis added]" There are no sacred cows. Time-phased and domain-federated operational approaches in armed conflict are predictable. Joint Force design doesn't exist. Perhaps it should.

What a great article. I highly recommend all Marine officers read this article and share it with your Marines. One of my favorite lines from this article. “We contend that the continuously evolving indicators from observable security challenges are serving to reinforce the trajectory of the Marine Corps — based on what the American people require the service to be capable of doing, particularly as defined in Title 10 U.S.C. § 5063.”

The history of the largest explosions #37 The West Loch Disaster: A Devastating Chain Reaction and Its Lasting Impact On May 21, 1944, a tragic explosion rocked the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, leading to one of World War II’s deadliest naval accidents. Known as the *West Loch Disaster, this catastrophic event unfolded when an explosion aboard LST-353 set off a chain reaction of fires and detonations across moored Landing Ships, Tanks (LSTs), which were being prepared for **Operation Forager**, the invasion of the Mariana Islands. In the span of 24 hours: ·      Six LSTs sank. ·      163 naval personnel lost their live ·      396 were injured. The explosions and fires spread rapidly, sinking ships and damaging shore facilities, destroying 11 buildings and overturning vehicles. The damage was not confined to the vessels themselves—burning debris and oil created an uncontrollable inferno, threatening even more ships and spreading throughout the harbor. A final explosion occurred late in the evening, capping off an event that would forever change naval safety protocols. The disaster was kept secret for years, with details only emerging when the event was declassified in 1960. The quick and destructive nature of the incident highlighted the risks posed by crowded staging areas filled with munitions and fuel. While the exact cause was never fully determined, the damage was clear. The loss of ships, equipment, and lives slowed preparations for Operation Forager, though the mission itself was delayed by only one day. Despite the overwhelming destruction, the disaster served as a wake-up call for the U.S. Navy, leading to sweeping changes in how munitions and fuel were handled aboard naval vessels. Though less known than other events at Pearl Harbor, the West Loch Disaster remains a stark reminder of the devastating power of explosions at sea and the importance of rigorous safety protocols in high-risk environments. #WestLochDisaster #NavalHistory #WorldWarII #EOD #EOKHUB #MaritimeSafety #maritime #NAVY #USA

Sea wolf Submarine got ability to purse through the iceberg The Seawolf-class submarines, which are nuclear-powered attack submarines operated by the United States Navy, are designed to operate under the ice in Arctic and Antarctic regions. While they are not specifically designed to "pursue through" icebergs, they are capable of breaking through thin ice and surfacing through ice cover when necessary. The Seawolf-class submarines feature a reinforced sail structure and a strengthened hull to withstand the pressures encountered when operating under ice. They also have specialized equipment, such as sonar systems and ice detection sensors, to navigate and detect potential obstacles while submerged beneath the ice. While the Seawolf-class submarines are capable of operating in icy conditions and surfacing through ice cover, it's important to note that they are not designed to actively pursue or break through large icebergs. Instead, their primary mission is to conduct undersea warfare and intelligence-gathering operations in a variety of environments, including icy waters.
