Airsea Battle: Can the Air Force and the Navy Get Along? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288411337)

Littoral waterways around the world include the principal shipping lanes and the navigational chokepoints of world commerce. The United States currently enjoys global hegemonic status and is able to project military power at will. However, the explosive growth of military technologies may soon enable America's adversaries to establish anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) strategies to threaten maritime chokepoints. A2/AD strategies potentially limit freedom of navigation and may soon directly challenge American ability to project and sustain power globally. To meet this challenge, the US is developing a joint Air Force and Navy AirSea Battle doctrine. Inter-service collaboration between the Air Force and Navy is not without its problems due to long-standing rivalries. This study is an analysis of challenges to the development of a joint US Air Force and Navy AirSea Battle doctrinal concept.
