Abstract
There is currently no single document that aids a Joint Task
Force Commander or their staff in understanding the complexities of
Anitair Warfar (AAW) during amphibious operations by maritime
forces. Historically, the Navy has been concerned with the Outer
Air Battle. This involves vast distances over the ocean, but does
not cover amphibious operations. With the down sizing of the U.S.
military as a result of an end to the "Cold War", there will be
fewer overseas bases and assets to conduct contingency
amphibious operations. The authors review the current and future
concepts and doctrine, Command, Control, and Communications, and
weapon systems of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps for AAW during amphibious operations. The authors propose that the Amphibious
Defense Zone Coordinator (ADZC) paradigm be accepted so that an
integrated air defense of the Amphibious Objective Area (AOA) and
the Carrier Battle Group (CVBG) are treated as subsets of the same
overall AAW plan.
