This paper presents a proposed role for the United States Maritime Patrol Air (MPA) force component in the National Military Strategy. It is asserted that the current structure and employment of MPA is outdated due to changes in the threat posed by the Soviet submarine forces, but that a viable MPA force is still required. The proposed strategy is based upon the authors' vision of a smaller, restructured VP community in the year 1995. The strategy focuses on the MPA role in countering the more likely threats presented by regional crises and contingencies while maintaining the ability to respond rapidly with a credible ASW force in the event of a return of the Soviet threat. Operational issues such as employment plans, the requirement for forward deployed sites, integration and coordination with United States and other allied forces, and the Total Force concept are addressed.
