U S Navy Program Guide 2017

U.S. Navy Program Guide - 2017

The U.S. Navy is ready to execute the Nation's tasks at sea, from prompt and sustained combat operations to every-day forward-presence, diplomacy and relief efforts. We operate worldwide, in space, cyberspace, and throughout the maritime domain. The United States is and will remain a maritime nation, and our security and prosperity are inextricably linked to our ability to operate naval forces on, under and above the seas and oceans of the world. To that end, the Navy executes programs that enable our Sailors, Marines, civilians, and forces to meet existing and emerging challenges at sea with confidence. Six priorities guide today's planning, programming, and budgeting decisions: (1) maintain a credible, modern, and survivable sea based strategic deterrent; (2) sustain forward presence, distributed globally in places that matter; (3) develop the capability and capacity to win decisively; (4) focus on critical afloat and ashore readiness to ensure the Navy is adequately funded and ready; (5) enhance the Navy's asymmetric capabilities in the physical domains as well as in cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum; and (6) sustain a relevant industrial base, particularly in shipbuilding.

US-China Strategic Competition

The book maps the strategic competition between the U.S. and China, its history, and the contemporary outlook of their armed forces. It analyses the wars fought by each of these forces, their military operations, operations other than war, and draws up a comparative analysis between the military doctrines of both nations. The author examines the implications of American and Chinese military doctrine and the varying degrees of cooperation, competition, and potential conflict in the Western Pacific. Finally, the book argues for possibilities of cooperation between the two superpowers and suggests ways of minimising potential future conflict. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of international relations, military and strategic studies, and Asian studies.
