The terrorist events of September 11, 2001, have necessitated a complete rethinking of U.S. Homeland Security and Defense (HLS/D). The Navy's role in Maritime HLS/D is to support the Coast Guard, however, the Coast Guard does not have the resources available to combat this problem alone. The Navy provides capability to perform the specified, implied, and essential tasks required to meet Maritime HLS/D objectives. The Navy and Coast Guard require a simple, effective, integrated CONOPS to accomplish maritime HLS/D. This paper suggests such a CONOPS with particular attention to the tasks that the Navy should perform. The proposed U.S. HLS/D maritime CONOPS comprises Prevention, Defense, and Response phases and discusses how best the Navy may perform the relevant maritime tasks in each phase. Maritime tasks include: deterring enemy threats against the homeland; defending against enemy attacks; supporting civil authorities; security cooperation and contingency response with Canada and Mexico; and command and control coordination.
