The Navy We Need: Maritime Dominance in a World of Interlocking Supply Chains

Dr. Paul DeLuca from RAND will give a presentation at the MIT Security Studies Program's Wednesday Seminar.

Summary: Global supply chains depend heavily on movement of goods and material by sea, but force structure requirements for the U.S. Navy have been largely focused on priorities besides sea control. Many factors impact supply chain vulnerability, but the physical facts of ocean transportation might not be understood or appreciated. This presentation will describe the relationship between maritime forces and supply chain security and insecurity.
