Who is Ready to Make a Decoy Fleet?
By CDRSalamander | December 2, 2020
One of the challenges our navy faces it that we have not had a serious challenge at sea for generations. Throughout human history, a recurring theme at war is having to relearn – and some cases reinvent – the forgotten tactics, tools, and methods of previous conflicts. Some things almost disappear or are forgotten for the most basic reasons – they are not sexy or are difficult to justify in peace.
In our post 9/11 conflict, some of my favorites on the land side are the utility of military working dogs, RPG cages, and long-range marksmanship. For the maritime side, the top of my list is Riverine.
What other things are out there we should be thinking about if we are looking at the need to challenge a regionally dominate Communist Chinese naval force in their backyard at the other end of the Pacific?
