March 12, 2010 — During a speech hardly noted by the press, Admiral Michael G. Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pronounced a dramatic new war doctrine March 3. Let’s see how we got here and what it means.

In late November of 1984, the United States was reeling from the loss of 266 U.S. Marines in Lebanon the previous October 23. The Marines had been deployed there with no fixed mission and no known national interest. This tragedy had occurred on the heels of a war in Vietnam that had ended in disaster.

The United States also was conducting a murky mission in Central America. The slaughter of the Marines and the adventurism in Central American had created a policy struggle between Secretary of State George Shultz and the State Department and National Security Council on the one hand, and Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and the Pentagon on the other. At the National Press Club on November 28, Weinberger announced a new warmaking doctrine that established the following six conditions to be met before the United States became involved in a military conflict.

1. The vital interests of the United States or its allies had to be at stake.

2. Sufficient force had to be applied to ensure an intention to win.

3. Political and military objectives had to be clearly defined.

4. The objectives had to be continuously reassessed.

5. Troops would not be committed without a reasonable assurance of support by American public opinion.

6. A combat role should be undertaken only as a last resort.

The third condition quoted the Prussian military philosopher, Carl von Clausewitz: “No one starts a war–or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so–without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war, and how he intends to conduct it.”

U.S. policymakers and military leaders diligently followed the Weinberger Doctrine in the Gulf War of late 1990-early 1991. But the United States was facing a new international scene of civil wars, ethnic conflicts, failed states, and rogue nations. So decisionmakers fell prey to tendencies to ignore Clausewitz, and to overlook the phrase “as a last resort.” We reverted to the concept of using limited military forces for political reasons involving questionable vital interests.

With this came the Clinton Doctrine, derived from a speech that President Bill Clinton made Feb. 26, 1999. He said in part, “If somebody comes after innocent civilians and tries to kill them en masse because of their race, their ethnic background or their religion, and it’s within our power to stop it, we will stop it.” In short, the United States on its own authority would forcefully intervene to prevent human rights abuses when it could do it without suffering substantial casualties.

So we became the world’s police force.

Then Sept. 11, 2001, brought the Bush Doctrine, in which President George W. Bush said, “To forestall or prevent . . . hostile acts by our adversaries, the United States will, if necessary, act preemptively in exercising our inherent right of self-defense.”

At this point we would stage preemptive war if felt it was warranted. So we had gone from commitment of troops without a mission, to war only as a last resort, to war whenever we felt the moral need to help others, and finally to preemptive war for self-protection.

Then came Mullen’s new doctrine of March 3.

• In future wars, the United States must use measured and precise military strikes, and not overwhelming force.

• Policymakers should consider the use of military force not as a last resort solution in a crisis, but as part of an early response to a conflict or a natural disaster.

• Military forces are some of the most flexible and adaptable tools available to policymakers. Before a shot is even fired, we can bolster a diplomatic argument, support a friend or deter an enemy.”

Embedded in the doctrine is the concept that troops must assume greater risk in order to protect innocent civilians in places such as Afghanistan and Iraq. In addition, it seems that this once again would make the American way of war a diplomatic tool to be used at the drop of a fork.

Indeed, Mullen said, “There is no single, defining American way of war. It changes over time, and it should change over time, adapting appropriately to the most relevant threats to our national security.”

ALAMEDA, CA (KGO) — The newest addition to the Coast Guard’s fleet arrived at its new home in Alameda Sunday.

Officials say the Coast Guard Cutter Waesche is one of the most technologically advanced vessels of its kind. The 418-foot ship has cutting-edge sensors, the ability to move at high speeds, a range of 12,000 miles and a crew of 110.

It is the second of eight similar cutters the Coast Guard is planning to build.

USCG News Release February 26, 2010

Coast Guard’s newest National Security Cutter to arrive at Alameda, Calif. Contact: PACS Keith Alholm - (510) 388-1313

ALAMEDA, Calif. -The Coast Guard’s newest cutter is scheduled to arrive at its new homeport of Coast Guard Island in Alameda, Feb. 28 at 1 p.m.

The Coast Guard Cutter Waesche, named for Adm. Russell R. Waesche, is the second of eight planned Legend Class cutters preceding the Coast Guard Cutter Dorothy Stratton and following the Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf.

“We are proud to bring the Coast Guard’s newest and most technologically advanced ship to its home in Alameda,” said Coast Guard Capt. Lance Bardo, commanding officer of Waesche.

The 418-foot cutter has a top speed of 28 knots, a range of 12,000 miles and a crew of 110. It’s equipped with a 4,000 square-foot flight deck that is outfitted with an automated landing and dual track hangaring system.

Waesche is also equipped with two Short Range Prosecutor small boats that can be deployed and recovered from the stern launch system, increasing the ability to launch and recover boats in heavy seas.

The ship will be commissioned at a ceremony on Coast Guard Island in May.

“I look forward to the future accomplishments of this ship and crew as it contributes to the safety of America’s coasts,” said Bardo.

Adm. Russell R. Waesche was the Coast Guard’s longest serving Commandant who presided over the greatest expansion of the service in history. Waesche ensured the integration of the U.S. Lighthouse Service into the Coast Guard and is also credited with the organization of the Coast Guard Reserve. He graduated from the Revenue Cutter School of Instruction and was commissioned as an Ensign in 1906. Waesche retired from active duty Coast Guard service and passed away shortly thereafter in 1946. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

SAN DIEGO - History was made when two of the Coast Guard’s Legend-class National Security Cutters; Bertholf and Waesche were documented during their transit together on the waters off the coast of Southern California, Friday, Feb. 26, 2010. Crewmembers from each of the cutters gathered on the flight deck in formation of the cutters’ perspective hull numbers. (Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Jetta H. Disco) The National Security Cutter (NSC)is the flagship of the fleet, capable of meeting all maritime security mission needs. It is the largest and most technically advanced class of cutter in the Coast Guard, with robust capabilities for maritime homeland security, law enforcement and national defense missions.

NSC: Project Description

Any Mission, Anytime, Anywhere

At 418 feet, the lead ship in the new Legend-class of national security cutters is designed to be the flagship of the U.S. Coast Guard’s fleet, capable of executing the most challenging maritime security missions including supporting the mission requirements of the joint U.S. combatant commanders. The NSC is the largest and most technically advanced class of the Integrated Deepwater System (IDS) program’s three major classes of cutters and will replace the aging 378′ High Endurance Hamilton class cutters that have been in service since the 1960s.

Capability Compared to legacy cutters, the NSC’s design will provide better sea keeping and higher sustained transit speeds, greater endurance and range, and the ability for launch and recovery, in higher sea states of improved small boats, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles - all key attributes in enabling the Coast Guard to implement increased security responsibilities. Such duties include exerting more effective jurisdiction over foreign-flagged ships transiting U.S. waters. Deepwater’s more capable maritime security cutters, for example, will enable the Coast Guard to screen and target vessels faster, more safely and reliably before they arrive in U.S. waters - to include conducting onboard verification through boardings and, if necessary, taking enforcement-control actions.The NSC will serve as an integral part of the Coast Guard’s collaborative inter-agency effort to achieve maritime domain awareness and ensure the safety of the American public and sovereignty of U.S. maritime borders.

Evolving Mission Requirements Just as the multiple maritime and military roles of the U.S. Coast Guard have grown in scope and significance since the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States, so too have the NSC’s capability requirements evolved to be responsive to today’s ever-more challenging operational missions and threats. ” The Coast Guard’s Deepwater Program existed prior to 9/11″, said Blore at the keel-laying ceremony for “Waesche”, “as did our Coast Guard, as did this shipyard. For Deepwater to modernize and recapitalize the Coast Guard, we need to change with the threat.”

NSC Structural Design Not atypically for a first-in-class ship, during the Coast Guard’s review of the NSC’s design from 2002 to 2004, concerns were raised about certain aspects of the ship’s structure that could prevent it from achieving its required 30-year service life. Specifically, Coast Guard and independent technical experts questioned whether some of the cutter’s structural components would experience fatigue damage prior to the service-life objective, a critical consideration given the extended, high-tempo operations expected of the NSC. After thorough review, the Coast Guard determined that it is in the U.S. Government’s interest to increase the fatigue tolerance of the NSC to ensure that the ship’s basic structures will meet its projected 30-year service life. Engineering changes to address the desired structural enhancements were developed in collaboration with the U.S. Navy and other naval engineering experts for approval by the Deepwater Program’s technical authority, the Engineering and Logistics Directorate at U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In the end, Coast Guard officials say, the NSC will be designed to achieve a 30-year fatigue life and built to deliver 21st Century capabilities to the Coast Guard in a way that will enhance the safety of its crew and allow the Coast Guard to execute its central missions more effectively, efficiently, and safely.

Status

The U.S. Coast Guard conducted preliminary acceptance of Waesche (WMSL 751)on Nov. 6, 2009. Stratton is 35% complete.
