Our naval and military leadership has determined that regional conflict will replace the Soviet Union as the threat facing the global stability in the next century. To meet the challenges of regional stability will require a new maritime strategy which must be successful across the spectrum of conflict and geography. It must also reflect the defense policy of deterrence, crisis response, forward presence and force reconstitution. Naval forces, the linchpin in any future strategy, must develop a regional maritime strategy with global application. To respond to the reality of the new threats facing the world those naval forces must be expeditionary in nature. This paper will review the past maritime strategy, the new regional focus, the regional threats and the manner in which regional maritime forces can be used to project forward deployed power to attain U.S. goals.
