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

1/ #FY23NDAA Senate SASC draft #S4543:
James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (NDAA)

Some of my favorite sections, starting with IndoPacific issues:
2/ #FY23NDAA #S4543:
Sec 1072
SecDef "shall develop a Joint Concept for Competing" to "define the role of the US Armed Forces in long-term strategic competition with specific adversaries"

Good to get this concept less squishy.

@BDHerzinger @DEricSayers
3/ #FY23NDAA #S4543 Sec 1252:
Sense of Congress on US defense alliances and partnerships in the IndoPacific region.

First part highlights previous statements by leadership.

1/ Industry Engagement Day event for the DoD Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve (RDER).

Opportunity for #SeaPlane ideas.

@david_alman
@zach_ota

defense.gov/News/Releases/…
2/ Components will propose experiments to be conducted in near-term Joint exercises and compete for RDER funding. The Secretary will select among proposed experiments based on alignment to the Joint Warfighting Concept and potential to yield demonstrable warfighting utility.
3/ Hope someone in recommending leasing 🇯🇵US-2 #SeaPlanes for:
⚓️ Support to USMC EABO
⚓️ Contested Logistics support
⚓️Combat SAR
⚓️Illegal Fishing Patrol
⚓️ISR
⚓️ASW
