1/ Started browsing Army FM-3-0, to look at it form the Maritime angle and also regarding #Sealift.

This will be a rambling🧵over several days ....

2/ Firstly, the word counts:
"Maritime" is found 232 times, but mostly in part of a list of the various domains
"Sealift" is found 9 times

3/ There is an entire chapter on the Maritime Domain:
Here are the table of contents for that chapter

4/ Early on, there is a general description of the various domains, and here is the description of the maritime domain:

5/ This section describes interdependencies among land & maritime domains:

6/ My favorite blurbs about #Sealift:
"As a general rule, once mobilized, it takes at least 30 to 45 days for most Army forces stationed within the United States to deploy to a theater when their equipment is shipped via strategic sealift"

7/ And also re #Sealift:
"Most Army equipment travels via strategic sealift. It will take weeks or months for the equipment to arrive in theater."
With my favorite anecdote about ACCESS (or lack thereof), 🇹🇷 during OEF

8/ Taking a pause here, but happy to see some good stuff in there. Some quotes belong on T-shirts & bumper stickers, or even carved in granite.

Look fwd to reading Chapter 7 on the Maritime Domain in detail.

@mercoglianos

9/ Wondering if this bumper sticker is available at #AUSA2022 ?

10/ Fascinating that US Army FM 3-0, Chapter 7 on #MaritimeDomain, includes a vignette on the British WW2 defeat by Imperial Japanese in Malaya & Singapore, as a lesson on "faulty assumptions"
