Rear Admiral Jeffrey Garrett testified before Congress about the need for the U.S. Coast Guard to maintain polar icebreaking capabilities to operate effectively in the Arctic. He noted that the Coast Guard currently has only one operational icebreaker, Healy, and that Polar Star will return to service in 2013 but rely on outdated 1960s technology. Garrett argued that at least two new icebreakers are needed to accommodate growing demands in the Arctic from activities like energy development, shipping, research, and tourism as well as fulfill national sovereignty responsibilities. Maintaining icebreaker capabilities is important for the Coast Guard to carry out its missions and engage with communities in the challenging Arctic environment.

L3 Presentation at Williams Foundation Seminar on New Approaches to Air-Land ...ICSA, LLC
In this presentation by Mr Victor King, L-3 Mission Integration, to the Williams Foundation, the focus was upon how to leverage commercial technologies to augment C2 and ISR capabilities for the ADF.
The seminar focused on the way ahead with regard to air-land integration.
Air Force needs to be capable of delivering air and space power effects to support conventional and special operations in the land domain. Air Force’s Plan Jericho and Army’s Plan Beersheba need to align if there is to be a coordinated approach to integrating air base operations, air mobility, close air support, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and rotary wing aviation. To date, little attention has been paid to the integration of technology across service lines, the development of integrated tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) and a coherent joint collective training program. Air Force and Army need to remediate existing deficiencies and implement a capability management process that leaves it postured to take advantage of the transformative nature of fifth generation technology. The seminar explored the art of the possible in future Air-Land operations.
The new airship has the potential to be more than an order of magnitude more cost-effective than current ISR air and spacecraft.
It's capabilities and potential as an ISR, comms relay, surrogate satellite, and/or other critical airborne functions are unmatched.

Brigadier Chris Mills on the future of Air-Land integrationICSA, LLC
The Australian Army perspective on the evolving framework for air-land integration under the impact of evolving technologies was provided at the Williams Foundation seminar by the current Chief of Staff of the Army, Lt. General Angus Campbell and by Brigadier General Chris Mills, Director General, Army Modernization.
The Chief of Staff clearly underscored that the land wars of the past decade are not the template for moving forward and saw the need and opportunity to shape new ways to integrate airpower with ground maneuver forces in providing for more effective capabilities in the contested battlespace.
The second was the reshaping of Army modernization to achieve the force envisaged by the Army Chief of Staff. Brigadier General Mills provided a hard hitting look at the Army and how the evolving force could shape a more distributed operational and decision-making force, one which he saw as providing for 21st century ground maneuver forces.
This briefing was what Mills presented at the seminar.
In this April 2016 presentation by Ed Timperlake, the question of how to reshape US strategy to deal with the second nuclear age is the focus of attention.
Are we trapped by our historical knowledge of “deterrence?”
Professor Bracken: “If the United States doesn’t have a flexible, reliable nuclear posture it can’t deal effectively with other countries who do. It is the ultimate vulnerability that shapes other security choices.”
Preparing, Engaging and Prevailing in 21st Century ConflictICSA, LLC
In this briefing delivered in Rome on October 3, 2014, Robbin Laird and John Blackburn discussed the challenges of dealing with 21st century conflicts and the approaches being taken by the USMC and the RAAF to dealing with these challenges. The seminar was sponsored by Airpress and held at the Centro Alti Studi per la Difesa (CASD). The briefing was followed by a presentaton by the Italian Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Lt. General Preziosa.

Air Vice Marshal John Blackburn on 21st Century Force DesignICSA, LLC
In the last formal presentation of the Williams Seminar on air-sea integration, John Blackburn, the former Deputy Chair of the Williams Foundation and a past Deputy Chief of the RAAF, addressed the challenge of building from the ground up a truly integrated force. To do so, requires more than the significant efforts the services are each doing working to shape cross modernization; it required a new approach to force structure design.
He then announced that on 6 March 2017, the Foundation will run a one-day Seminar on the topic of Integrated Force Design, stepping beyond the focus on airpower, sea power and Land power to one of integrated power. He also announced the Foundations plan to run a case study Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) in order to explore how we could achieve an Integrated Force Design.
"We will explore a new way of working together at the integrated level and we intend to some analysis with force characteristics of this future integrated force. We aim to help the project officers think beyond their own projects to design in greater capability to leverage one another from the outset, from the design level. In fact, the challenge is ensure that the aperture is wide within individual projects to have the kind of interactive dynamic developments which a joint force design process can unleash. Unfortunately many projects often narrow the aperture to a replacement mindset in order to save time.
We want the project officers of individual projects to be able to say: "Okay, in my project as well as replacing what I had today, I've got to make sure that the capability I'm designing be a part of the future kill web rather than a force component networked or connected in an after-market after thought.
We see that as the main challenge and the opportunity to design the future force, integrated at birth."
Professor Jakobsen on the Danish Way of WarICSA, LLC
On April 17, 2015, a joint symposium on the evolution of airpower was co-sponsored by The Sir Richard Williams Foundation (Australia) and the Centre for Military Studies of the Department of Political Science of the University of Copenhagen.

Brigadier General Chris Mills, Australian Army, New Approaches to Air Land In...ICSA, LLC
Air forces need to be capable of delivering air and space power effects to support conventional and special operations in the land domain. Air-Land integration is one of the most important capabilities for successful joint operations.
The last decade has seen a significant shift in how airpower has supported ground operations. With the introduction of systems like Rover, the ability of airpower to provide precision strike to the ground forces saw a significant change in fire support from a wide variety of air platforms. Precision air dropping in support of outposts or moving forces introduced new capabilities of support.
Yet this template of air ground is really focused on air support to the ground whereas with the shift in the global situation, a much wider set of situations are emerging whereby the air-ground integration approach will become much wider in character, and the ability to insert force rapidly, as a precision strike capability, and to be withdrawn will be a key tool in the toolbox for decision makers.
Fifth generation enabled operations will see a shift to a distributed C2 approach which will clearly change the nature of the ground-to air command system, and the with the ability of fifth generation systems to generate horizontal communications among air assets outside the boundaries of a classic AWACs directed system, the change in C2 will be very wide ranging.
BG Mills provide a perspective from the Australian Army's approach to modernization with regard to a way ahead for the Australian Defence Force.

“SEMPER PARATUS is our guide, Our fame, our glory too.”
- Captain Francis S. Van Boskerck, USCG (1927)
“The Coast Guard has made its motto one of its seven basic missions, Search and Rescue, Aids to Navigation, Ice Breaking and Ocean Science, Marine Inspection, Law Enforcement, Military Readiness, and the seventh, Semper Paratus - Always Ready for the next mission.”
- SEMPER PARATUS: The Meaning. William R. Wells, II. (2006)
Climate change has made it possible for previously impassable regions of the Arctic to become accessible by ships. As such, some main routes have emerged: the Northern Passage, covering the Alaskan and Canadian coasts; the Northwest Passage, which passes the Norwegian and Russian coasts; and the Transpolar Sea Route (TSR), which is still underused. The Northern Sea Route (NSR) and the Arctic Bridge have also emerged as significant passages that shipping lines can access to transport goods.

The core GATR capability is really about rapid response.
In an article by Debra Werner of Space News published on December 5, 2017, the role of GATR was highlighted.
Cubic Corporation’s GATR satellite antennas continue to provide communications links for residents and community leaders in Puerto Rico more than two months after Hurricane Maria devastated the U.S. territory and nearby Caribbean islands.
Employees of GATR Technologies, part of Cubic Corporation’s Mission Solutions Division, were in the U.S. Virgin Islands working to reestablish communications in the wake of Hurricane Irma, when Help.NGO’s Disaster Immediate Response Team and Cisco Systems’ Tactical Operations Team called for assistance in Puerto Rico.
Victor Vega, GATR Technologies director of emerging solutions, and his colleagues packed inflatable satellite antennas in suitcases and brought them to areas of Puerto Rico where hurricane-force winds and fallen trees had dismantled the terrestrial communications infrastructure. They installed inflatable GATR 2.4 meter antennas on rooftops, including two U.S. Army National Guard buildings that served as a distribution point for food and water.

Good morning Mr. Chairman and distinguished members of the Committee. Thank you for
the opportunity to participate in today’s hearing.
As a Coast Guard officer, I spent much of my career serving in the nation’s multi-mission
polar icebreaker fleet, operating in both polar regions as well as supporting these operations in
staff assignments ashore. For most of my career, polar operations only occasionally involved
the Coast Guard’s better-known “bread and butter” missions—an infrequent icebreaker search
and rescue case, or building navigational aids on Alaska’s North Slope, for example. Instead,
most icebreaker operations in the past 30 years have supported defense logistics and an
increasing demand for scientific research from a variety of governmental agencies.
As the Subcommittee is aware, transformational changes in the Arctic are significantly
challenging our national interests and eliciting the need to support them. Energy development
activities, increasing maritime transportation, continuing research needs, expanding tourism,
environmental concerns, services for communities in Arctic Alaska and intensifying
geopolitical issues are driving an Arctic “awakening” that we can’t ignore. As the
Commandant has repeatedly emphasized, these trends all affect the statutory responsibilities
of the U.S. Coast Guard.
I believe the Coast Guard has, within its resources, struggled valiantly to stay abreast of new
Arctic challenges. Seasonal deployment of Coast Guard cutters, boats, aircraft and
specialized teams to Arctic Alaska have tested equipment capabilities and procedures and
enhanced Arctic operational experience. But the most critical—and effective—capability that
the Coast Guard could apply to its expanding Arctic responsibilities is largely missing from
the scene. At a time of growing need, our polar icebreaker capabilities are steadily drifting
into obsolescence.
With only USCGC Healy in operational condition during the upcoming year, consequences of
icebreaker disinvestment are beginning to emerge. The Coast Guard has been unable to
deploy an icebreaker for Arctic multi-mission purposes for over two years, and planned
science missions for USCGC Polar Sea have had to be cancelled. Perhaps most ominously, a
Coast Guard icebreaker will not be available for critical U.S. Antarctic Program support two
months from now, after the unexpected withdrawal of foreign contracted icebreaking services.
When Healy is engaged in dedicated science support, or undergoing maintenance, the Coast
Guard has no polar icebreakers for other Arctic or Antarctic missions or contingencies.
2. These mission gaps will be somewhat mitigated in 2013, at least for the short term, when
USCGC Polar Star is scheduled to return to service. Although I was privileged to serve in
both of the Polar-class ships, and am very proud of the 70 years they have collectively served
the nation, the Coast Guard will nevertheless be depending on 1960’s technology that is
expensive to operate and subject to the risk of additional failure.
During the High Latitude Study, as we considered present and future Arctic demands on the
Coast Guard, it became evident to me is that the Coast Guard’s lower-48 “footprint”—
geographically distributed logistics bases, boat stations, air stations and sector offices—would
be an extremely expensive and inappropriate blueprint for needs in Arctic Alaska. Moving
sea ice, shallow coastal waters and permafrost make vessel mooring facilities, for example,
very difficult to engineer. Moreover, the seasonality of operational demand and long
distances would also make fixed installations less efficient.
Instead, a polar icebreaker patrolling offshore provides an ideal Arctic mobile base. With
helicopters, boats, cargo space, heavy-lift cranes, extra berthing, configurable mission spaces,
and command, control and communications facilities, an icebreaker can respond to
contingencies and be augmented with special teams and equipment as needed. This is not to
deny that some shore infrastructure would be needed. But an icebreaker can move to where
the action is, carry out Coast Guard missions, engage with local communities and other
federal, state and local agencies, exercise response plans, and simultaneously provide a visible
national presence.
What is clearly called for is a continued level of icebreaker capability to accommodate the
developing Arctic demand for Coast Guard services as well as fulfill the need for broader
national sovereignty and presence. We must maintain near-term capabilities, keeping Polar
Star and Polar Sea available for polar operations, and move forward to build two new
icebreakers that can meet future needs more effectively and more efficiently. These are
among the recommendations of the National Research Council’s 2007 report on icebreaker
capability. The subsequent High Latitude Study and Polar Icebreaker Recapitalization
Analysis further inform the issue, and provide a sound basis for an icebreaker acquisition
effort.
A review of U.S. requirements would not be complete without examining how other nations
are confronting developments in the Arctic. Our declining polar capabilities place us
distinctly in the minority. The other four Arctic nations are actively acquiring new ice-
capable assets, most notably the multi-vessel building programs of Russia and our Canadian
allies. Non-Arctic nations, most notably China, are building icebreaking ships and have
announced plans for increased Arctic involvement. Even smaller nations, such as South
Korea, South Africa and Chile, have recently acquired or are planning new polar ships.
In summary, I believe that if the United States is to protect its Arctic interests and retain its
leadership role in both polar regions, we must have the ability to be present in those places,
today and in the future. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for considering these important issues and
for the opportunity to be here today.
