The mission of expeditionary port security and harbor defense is presently interpreted as tactical force protection and anti-terrorism. This view incorrectly identifies the major threat to strategic mobility assets at the endpoints of sea lines of communication and within ports of debarkation. Operational commanders must focus on more than individual vessels and facilities to achieve a layered defense. The Naval Coastal Warfare (NCW) community is designated to plan and execute operations to protect harbors, ports, and vessels that enter these areas. The planning process must properly structure NCW forces to achieve FP/AT measures at the tactical level, unity of effort at the operational level, and full dimensional protection at the theater-strategic level.
