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 ....

@mercoglianos @zach_ota @Navy_Hipple @cdrsalamander @cgberube @WDMills1992 @salisbot @johnkonrad @NavMechEng @will_yale Image
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 Image
4/ Early on, there is a general description of the various domains, and here is the description of the maritime domain: Image
5/ This section describes interdependencies among land & maritime domains: Image
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" Image
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 Image
9/ Wondering if this bumper sticker is available at #AUSA2022 ?

@mercoglianos @Navy_Hipple Image
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"

@BDHerzinger @graham_euan @raylockman @historyogi @cgberube @salisbot @DrTimHuxley ImageImage
8.1/ This one is for you @mercoglianos & all the Navalists out there.

@johnkonrad @BDHerzinger @Navy_Hipple @McCainJack @NavMechEng @cgberube @NavMechEng Image
@mercoglianos @johnkonrad @BDHerzinger @Navy_Hipple @McCainJack @NavMechEng @cgberube 8.3/ Just one more..... I may have a problem. Image

When do you all start hitting refresh on the DoD Comptroller Budget page?

Do you wait until the press conference starts?
Or do you start now?

3/ Oh, I guess you don't have to wait until the press conference for some of the budget materials. Some of the #FY25NavyBudget press materials are posted online already.

1/ CRS Report by Ron O'Rourke:
Defense Primer: Geography, Strategy, and U.S. Force Design

This report really breaks down the baked-in force design assumptions.
Although the word "Army" is not in there once.🤔

crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF… ImageImage
2/ "Although U.S. policymakers do not often state explicitly in public the goal of preventing the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia..."

huh. Image
3/ "Strategy Is a Policy Choice, Force Design is a Consequence" Image

An important reference for all China watchers.
Will some take time to read & digest this. Image
2/ "In foreign policy, 🇨🇳’s leaders chose to preserve close ties with 🇷🇺even after the country’s unprovoked invasion of 🇺🇦, increased the brazenness of 🇨🇳’s confrontations in the #SouthChinaSea and around 🇹🇼, and made more aggressive pushes for overseas basing options" ImageImage
3/ "China’s aggressive activities in the #SouthChinaSea led to dangerous encounters between Chinese and other countries’ ships and aircraft in the region." ImageImage
