Abstract
- The article reports that an unconventional spin on the U.S. Marine Corp's tradition of forcible amphibious entry could counter modern anti-access/area-denial weapons (A2/AD) threats. The Navy has used the ocean's size to evade detection, to gain surprise and appear unexpectedly, and to distance itself from shore-launched threats. However, A2/AD have changed the naval landscape as states and non-state actors that lack sophisticated ships or aircraft increasingly threaten the Navy's access.
