The United States (US) possesses the largest and most powerful Navy in the world. However, the greatest maritime force ever assembled is not without capability gaps. The Navy requires a vibrant riverine capability in order to provide Combatant Commanders a versatile brown water force. This versatility is highlighted by the ability to train host nation forces, conduct irregular warfare (IW), logistics, amphibious assault, direct fires, surveillance, and maritime interdiction. In addition, they are a viable option to meet the challenges presented in either new generation warfare or great power competition.
