FOrCE FOCus DAY Monday, May 21, 2012
The role of our amphibious forces and their operational success undoubtedly hinges on the environments in which they must
function. Anti-Access, Defensive Mine Warfare, and Ballistic Missiles are capabilities that contribute to the growing defense
against amphibious assaults. As different countries continue to develop these capabilities, it further threatens to preclude mission
success for the amphibious forces. What the amphibious operatives must focus on now is how to overcome such defenses.
The sessions of this Focus Day will tackle these issues by first exploring these defensive technologies and then examining the
potential adversaries that may field them in the amphibious battlespace. The in-depth presentations will add insight into the
issues that high-level policy makers must address in the coming future.
