About the report:
How does a Department of the Navy oriented toward preparation for warfighting also organize, train, and equip forces ‘‘for the peacetime promotion of the national security interests and prosperity of the United States,” as required by the National Defense Authorization Act? Specifically, what kind naval forces are needed to compete with the People’s Republic of China below the threshold of armed conflict?
The Chief of Staff to the Secretary of the Navy asked the Center for Naval Analyses at CNA for near-term recommendations to address this challenge. A whole-of-CNA analytical effort resulted in dozens of recommendations under three priority areas established by the Secretary of the Navy: (1) strengthening maritime dominance; (2) building a culture of warfighting excellence; and (3) enhancing strategic partnerships. The report outlines large strategic investments in naval capabilities that are required in order to fulfill expanded peacetime and wartime roles. It highlights potential trade-offs the Navy faces in an era of global competition with the People’s Republic of China.
