The folks at CIMSEC have posted an informative piece on the future direction of Navy IAMD by Captain Jim Kilby of the OPNAV Staff. Jim has forgotten more about IAMD than most of us know, and his appearance on the One-Star List last week was a surprise to no one.
The bottom line for Kilby is that the threats and the systems we field to counter them will drive us toward a higher state of readiness and professionalism in IAMD. Surface Warfare is returning to its Sea Control roots, and IAMD is a big part of that mission. The plain truth is that the world’s most devastating power projection force cannot do its job unless it controls the (maritime) terrain from which it operates. IAMD is key to that proposition.
