This book examines the dynamics of coalition naval operations.
Since the end of the Second World War, few nations possess the
capacity for large scale, sustained and independent naval
operations; and even those that do, such as the USA, often find it
economically, militarily and politically expedient to act
multilaterally. As such, coalition naval operations increasingly
became the norm throughout the twentieth-century, and there is
little sign of this abating in the twenty-first. Multinational
operations provide a number of benefits, but they also present a
number of challenges. Examining the dynamics of coalition
operations involving the Royal Navy (RN), Royal Australian Navy
(RAN) and the United States Navy (USN) during the Korean War,
Vietnam War and the Iraq War, this book provides a broad overview
of naval interoperability between the three navies. Using the naval
gunfire support (NGS) capability as a lens through which to analyse
operations, the study explores a diverse range of issues,
including: command and control, communications, equipment
standardisation, intelligence, logistics, planning, rules of
engagement, tactics, techniques and procedures and training.
Approaching the subject through both historical and contemporary
perspectives not only provides a unique assessment of the variation
in the effectiveness of interoperability over time, but also offers
a platform for better understanding and enhancing the performance
of future coalition naval operations. Based on extensive archival
research in Australia, the UK and the US, as well as wide-ranging
interviews, this book sheds new light on the dynamics of conducting
coalition operations. This book will be of great interest to
students of naval history, strategic studies, sea power, maritime
security, military studies, and IR in general.
