Panel: Pace of Awesome Navy Freedom of Navigation Operations Stressing Force.
Freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea puts stress on the fleet when the Navy could use that time more effectively “to train up for high-end conflict,” a national security expert who served in the Trump administration said Friday.
Speaking at a Center for Strategic and International Studies Forum, Elbridge Colby, former deputy assistant secretary for strategy and force development, said “there is a cost” to U.S. 7th Fleet in these operations that can be measured in lost time in “restoring our warfighting edge.”
The co-founder of the Marathon Initiative cited Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s recent remarks at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, where he unveiled the Battle Force 2045 plan. Esper said, “It’s more important to prioritize modernization and future-readiness over the demands of today.”
In an answer to a follow-up question, Esper said the “Navy also has an ambitious mission set that includes peacetime activities, competition activities – you have to demonstrate presence – forward presence, the ability to control sea lanes, the ability to work with partners and allies and do those things. So anyone day, we have nearly 100 or so ships deployed doing these things. …(But) you don’t build a force around a single scenario.”
Colby said the operations “really don’t stop anything,” like China’s militarizing of artificial islands.
The State Department has repeatedly stressed Washington won’t tolerate China’s excessive claims to territories. Australia, France, Germany and the United Kingdom have joined in condemning China for ignoring U.N. tribunal ruling on the question.
Other U.S. allies might be cool to support the move. Glaser said that while “no country wants to see China as a dominant power,” Seoul has been slow to see the South China Sea as being important to its own security. “It’s not going to be an easy lift,” Glaser said.
The South China Sea is “the critical open field” where “China is working to establish that dominance” that it does not have in the East China Sea and the Taiwan Straits.
Looking ahead to what happens after the American presidential election, Glaser said the United States needs “to play some part” in the Code of Conduct being adopted by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations with China.
Colby said Washington needs to remember it is “not the peaceful rise of China anymore” when it comes to future relations. In terms of security, this is especially true when it comes to Taiwan.
Glaser said in an era of competition there were areas where the two can cooperate, such as climate change. Any administration would “have to be careful not to let China bog us down in process. … They talk us to death.”

Aye indeed matey :)
The Problem.
Why are we being censored?
Why are we being attacked daily?
Why are we being condemned by Congress?
1984 thoughtcrime?
What happens when people are no longer allowed to think freely?
What happens when people are no longer allowed to challenge their authority?
What happens when people no longer fight back? -Q
The Solution.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a BACK-CHANNEL to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (A 'SHIP’) that provides the scattered (‘FREE THINKERS’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment). -Q
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable. -Q
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’. -Q
Tune in to the backchannel and listen to the beautiful latest hits of Peace, Hope, Justice & Freedom. WWG1WGA.
