摘要

This paper examines the U.S. Navy's organic mine countermeasure (MCM) concept as it pertains to the operational commander. The U.S. Navy is embarking on a MCM concept that will rely heavily on organic countermine systems tied directly to surface warships, helicopters and submarines. While organic MCM assets will offer some advantages, a close examination of the concept identifies many operational shortcomings. Specifically, the organic MCM concept will do little to assure littoral access for naval and land forces through a mined environment. The Navy hopes that as organic MCM systems mature, the need for dedicated MCM forces will decrease. This will facilitate an 'in-stride' capability for an operational commander to maneuver through mined seas. This paper shows that because of the complexity of the modern naval mine threat and the operational limitations of organic MCM deployment, a substantial dedicated MCM force will still be required to ensure maximum effectiveness in a mined operating area. Despite the sophistication of new MCM technology, mine warfare will remain a slow, tedious, and challenging discipline. Only through a prudent mix of organic and dedicated MCM forces will an operational commander be able to prevail against the formidable naval mine threat.
