At the dawn of the 21st century, the U.S. Navy is seeking to define its missions across the AORs and how it will carry out those missions. During the Cold War, U.S. forward presence operations in many regions were routine and based on in-place or deployed forces that were designed to counter a large- scale, highly capable threat. Interactions with other navies, which to a large extent were bound together through alliances, were predictable, fashioned as they were to counter an expansionist Soviet aggressor. War fighting strategy easily accommodated how the U.S. Navy viewed its unilateral responsibilities, as well as its responsibilities to its partners. In the post-Cold War era, the large, galvanizing threat is gone, most operations will be at the OOTW level and will be conducted in the littoral, as opposed to the high seas. As a consequence, the U.S. Navy must come to terms with the changing circumstances and assess the best way to synchronize its assets with U.S. goals and objectives, which because of the unstable nature of today's international environment, cannot be assumed to be static in the long term. U.S. policy statements make it clear that whenever possible, U.S. forces will seek to respond to requirements for military force in concert with other countries. These responses may take the form of ad-hoc coalitions or bilateral actions with other countries, and may or may not have mandates or consent from the United Nations, NATO, or other international bodies. This being the case, a particularly important question in defining the U.S. Navy's role is how will it operate with its key allies. The fact that navies will be less engaged in classical blue water operations and instead will be more involved in littoral operations enhances the possibility of improvised multinational naval cooperation. Under these circumstances, achieving interoperability becomes much more complicated, for it is no longer simply a question of standardization and compatibility.
