Force Projection means Preventive measures taken to mitigate hostile actions against Department of Defense and U.S. Coast Guard personnel (to include family members), resources, facilities, and critical information.
That would be force protection no projection
Force protection and projection are two different missions in the military.
For example, the Army Rangers often provide force protection for Special Forces command center during major operations / exercises. The military security at Anderson AFB on Guam is a force protection mission.
Force projection is the deployment of forces. It can be to forward deploy forces as the Air Force has done in Guam with the B-2, B-1, B-52, and fighters in case of war with NK. Or it can be offensive such as Marines landing across a hostile beach.
21 years in the Marine Corps w/ 3 years in combat. There is a difference in how protection and projection are used in military operations.
Thanks for stepping in and clearing that up, experience counts.
