EIDWS Common Core 110 OPERATIONS

• Discuss the mission of the following primary warfare areas:

• (a) ASW: Anti-Submarine Warfare is the destruction or neutralization of enemy submarines. It

includes the action taken by aircraft, surface ships, and other submarines. The goal of ASW is

to deny the enemy the effective use of its submarine.

• (b) SUW: Anti-Surface Warfare is the destruction or neutralization of enemy surface

combatants and merchant ships. The aim of ASUW is to deny the enemy the effective use of

its surface warships and cargo-carrying vessels.

• (c) IW: Information Warfare is the action taken to achieve information superiority over the

adversary by influencing his information and information-based processes, systems, and

computer-based networks, while defending our own. IW capitalizes on the growing

sophistication, connectivity, and reliance on information technology. The ultimate target of IW

is the information-dependent process, human or automated. Intelligence and communications

support are critical to conducting offensive and defensive IW.

• (d) AW: Air Warfare is the action required to destroy or reduce an enemy‟s air and missile

threat. It includes the use of interceptors, bombers, antiaircraft guns, surface-to-air missiles

(SAMs), air-to-air missiles (AAMs), and electronic attack (EA) procedures. It also includes the

destruction of the missile threat before and after launch. Other measure to reduce the effects

of hostile air actions include cover, concealment, dispersion, deception (including electronic),

and mobility.

conventional or nuclear missiles. This includes targets assigned to nuclear strategic forces,

building yards, and operating bases from which an enemy is capable of conducting or

supporting air, surface, or subsurface operations.

• (f) NSW: Special Warfare is distinguished by unique objectives, weapons, and forces, and is

characterized by the following:

-Principally offensive, involving high physical and political risk

-Directed at high-value, critical, and often perishable targets

-Principally politico-military in nature and subject to oversight at the national l level

-Frequently covert or clandestine

-It includes special mobile operations, unconventional warfare, coastal and river

interdiction, beach and coastal reconnaissance, and tactical intelligence

operations.

• Explain how the Reserve Component integrates with the Active Component:

– The Naval Reserve supports the overall mission of Navy as prescribed by Title 10, U.S.C.,

which states, “Be prepared to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations at sea in

support of the U.S. national interests.” Navy performs this mission under the guidance of

reference (a) and within the framework of the strategic concept for littoral warfare described

in the DON White Paper, “...From the Sea,” expanded upon in “Forward ...From the Sea” and

continued in “The Navy Operational Concept”.

• Explain the purpose of a mobile detachment:

• “The mission of the Reserve component is, as defined in Section 10102 of Title 10 U.S.C., to

„provide trained units and qualified persons available for active duty in the armed forces, in

time of war or national emergency and at such other times as the national security may

require…‟ Throughout the Cold War this meant training and structuring the Naval Reserve for

full mobilization in support of a global conflict.

• References (a) through (f) direct a new strategy which demands the Selected Reserve

(SELRES) be prepared to respond to the entire spectrum of requirements, including war or

national emergency, contingency operations, military operations other than war (MOOTW),

Peace time Contributory Support (PCS), humanitarian operations, full or partial mobilization

(including pre and/or post mobilization) and at such other times as the national security may

require.

– Ref A through F are references in the Total Force Policy OPNAVINST 1001.21B

• Naval forward presence, using components of both Active and Reserve forces, serves to deter

aggression, enhance regional stability, protect and promote U.S. interests, improve

interoperability with allies and provide timely initial crisis response.

• Discuss the purpose of Direct Support Asset:

– Fleet commanders depend upon NAVSECGRU deployable assets to meet quick reaction

mission requirements. These assets -- should be maintained ready for deployment at all

times. The inability to deploy all assets, even in the absence of imminent tasking, is de-facto

a CASREP condition. Specifically, the inability to deploy a DIRSUP suite within 48 hours is

an authorized CASREP situation. This criterion is intended for two specific circumstances:

a) when equipment failures preclude suite deployment

b) when a suite (just returned from deployment) is not ready for re-deployment within 48

hours, due to PMS/checkout requirements CASREP criterion does not apply to suites

which have been partially deployed. Partial deployment is viewed as an operational

choice and not degradation of an available asset.

• Discuss the primary services provided by the following deployable METOC teams:

– (a) Mine Warfare UUV Platoon:

• NOMWC provides a unique capability for port/harbor and shallow water mine warfare

tactical intelligence preparation of the operational environment (IPOE) and mine hunting,

using man portable unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) operated by small rapidly

deployable teams.

• The teams are fully equipped to operate from sea or shore as an expeditionary unit.

Currently, they are the only Navy component with the primary mission, functions, and tasks

to provide support during a maritime threat response in confined waters. NOMW C is

augmented with civilian subject matter experts from NAVO C EANO to support the

processing of data and generation of tactically relevant environmental products.

• Acoustic data collected from UUVs are processed with the environmental post mission

analysis system to provide a near real-time description of the seafloor characteristics using

sonar imagery to distinguish between mine-like objects, man-made objects and natural

features. Newly collected imagery is then compared to historical imagery to eliminate

known objects from having to be investigated further. This process results in a significant

reduction in operational timelines, which translates into ports and harbors being opened

for commercial traffic as well as freedom of maneuver for naval forces.

• Discuss the primary services provided by the following deployable METOC teams

(cont):

• (e) Fleet Survey Team (FST):

• Survey teams, comprised of highly trained civilian and military hydrographers, are

deployed globally aboard hydrographic ships, boats and aircraft to provide navigation-

quality surveys that meet international standards and Fleet requirements. These teams

work in coordination with U.S. cartographers and foreign hydrographers when operating in

their territorial waters, to produce updated navigation charts.

• The Navy‟s fleet of survey ships and hydrographic survey launches are deployed around

the world to collect hydrographic and bathymetric data in support of U.S. Fleet Forces

Command validated requirements. These platforms are equipped with the latest

commercially available multibeam systems, global positioning systems, side scan sonar

and other oceanographic equipment. Furthermore, the latest computer technology and

state-of-the-art data processing and data management systems are used.

• The Fleet Survey Team is a rapid-response Navy command that excels at conducting quick

turnaround hydrographic surveys in locations around the world using air-transportable

rigid hull inflatable boats. They also manage the Hydrographic Cooperative program with

foreign nations to conduct joint surveys in territorial waters of the participating nation.

• Discuss the IO Core Capabilities:

– Information operations (IO) involve actions taken to affect adversary information and

information systems while defending one‟s own information and information systems.

– They apply across all phases of an operation, the range of military operations, and at every

level of war. They are a critical factor in the joint force commander‟s (JFC‟s) capability to

achieve and sustain the level of information superiority required for decisive joint operations.

– IO capitalize on the growing sophistication, connectivity, and reliance on information

technology. IO target information or information systems in order to affect the information-

based process, whether human or automated. Such information dependent processes range

from National Command Authorities-level decision making to the automated control of key

commercial infrastructures such as telecommunications and electric power.

– Many different capabilities and activities must be integrated to achieve a coherent IO strategy.

Intelligence and communications support are critical to conducting offensive and defensive IO.

The thoughtful design and correct operation of information systems are fundamental to the

overall conduct of IO. Additionally, to achieve success, IO must be integrated with other

operations (air, land, sea, space, and special) and contribute to national and military objectives.

– Intelligence support is critical to the planning, execution, and assessment of IO. The joint staff

intelligence representative(s) assigned to support the IO cell should be the liaison for

intelligence support for all IO planning.

– Intelligence must be timely, accurate, usable, complete, relevant, objective, and sufficiently

detailed to support an array of Department of Defense (DOD) IO requirements, including

research, development, and acquisition and operational support. Intelligence preparation of the

battlespace is vital to successful IO. Support from non-DOD and non-US sources also may be

required.

• Define the roles of the U.S. Navy Blue and Red Teams:

• Blue Team:

• 1. The group responsible for defending an enterprise‟s use of information systems by

maintaining its security posture against a group of mock attackers (i.e., the Red Team).

Typically the Blue Team and its supporters must defend against real or simulated attacks

1) over a significant period of time, 2) in a representative operational context (e.g., as part

of an operational exercise), and 3) according to rules established and monitored with the

help of a neutral group refereeing the simulation or exercise (i.e., the White Team).

• 2. The term Blue Team is also used for defining a group of individuals that conduct

operational network vulnerability evaluations and provide mitigation techniques to

customers who have a need for an independent technical review of their network security

posture. The Blue Team identifies security threats and risks in the operating

environment, and in cooperation with the customer, analyzes the network environment

and its current state of security readiness. Based on the Blue Team findings and

expertise, they provide recommendations that integrate into an overall community

security solution to increase the customer's cyber security readiness posture. Often

times a Blue Team is employed by itself or prior to a Red Team employment to ensure

that the customer's networks are as secure as possible before having the Red Team test

the system.

• Red Team:

• A group of people authorized and organized to emulate a potential adversary‟s attack or

exploitation capabilities against an enterprise‟s security posture. The Red Team‟s

objective is to improve enterprise Information Assurance by demonstrating the impacts

of successful attacks and by demonstrating what works for the defenders (i.e., the Blue

Team) in an operational environment.

EIDWS Common Core 110 OPERATIONS

• Discuss Maritime Domain Awareness:

– Background: Navy has recognized for some time that its operational focus was broadening from

primarily blue water to include the littorals. Although regional conflict remains a prime concern,

Navy is increasingly faced with non-traditional challenges such as disaster relief and irregular

opponents who employ asymmetric methods and capabilities against U.S. interests. In under

governed areas of the global commons, such as the littorals of failed states, Navy confronts

networked adversaries thriving in the “gray area” between criminal activity and armed conflict.

Worldwide economic trends have accelerated the pace of maritime commerce and reinforced the

need to keep the global maritime commons secure. The oceans are growing in importance as

both arteries of the global economy and back alleys of the criminal underworld.

– The role of naval power in securing the maritime domain gains in prominence when viewed in

context of economic growth promoting political stability. Commerce craves security. Improving

maritime security and safety are cornerstones of the National Strategy for Maritime Security

(NSMS) and hinge upon developing systems and processes that help the world community, the

United States, and the U.S. Navy attain akin understanding of maritime activity. Performing

Maritime Change Detection, the identification of anomalies from established trends and patterns,

will enable commanders to take appropriate action before security is compromised or crises

erupt. This is a primary goal of MDA.

– Core Assumptions:

• Acquiring and sharing maritime information with a broad array of partners reduces

vulnerability to attack and improves cooperation toward maritime security and safety.

• U.S. agencies and international partners perceive positive return on investment and

recognize benefits of cooperating to achieve common maritime security goals.

• Overcoming cultural and policy barriers to information sharing requires changes in business

practices and information security procedures.

• State the purpose of a MOC:

– Maritime Operations Centers (MOCs) are the Navy‟s Operational Level Warfare Command and

Control organizations.

– The MOC initiative delivers global maritime capabilities throughout the full range of military

operations. Critical enablers of the Maritime Strategy, MOCs provide commanders with people

and processes enabled by common, interoperable, networked systems to enhance global

maritime capabilities.

– The MOC is a subset of the MHQ, which enables the conduct of Naval and joint operations as

required by the Commander. The diverse functions of the MHQ that relate directly to the

operational level of war and the employment of naval forces to accomplish assigned missions

will be assigned to directorates and implemented through the cross-functional B2C2WG

construct of the MOC.

– Intelligence, most functions within Operations, and Plans and Policy are fully integrated in the

MOC to enable and enhance the MHQ‟s ability to plan, direct, monitor, assess, and execute

operational-level missions and maritime security operations. The MOC is defined as the

collective name for the boards, bureaus, cells, centers and working groups that execute the

maritime operations within the maritime headquarters. The MOC shall be capable of operations

with staff consolidated in one location or in a distributed fashion from multiple locations

simultaneously, including Navy units and bases, afloat and ashore.
