Episode notes
SEALs' Adaptability Explains Land Success
- SEAL teams succeed far from the sea because they are deliberately trained to adapt across environments: sea, air, land.
- Recent emphasis returns them to maritime skills (diving, submarine ops) to restore maritime roots and options.
Combine Naval Interdiction With Decisive Pressure
- If the U.S. intends to pressure transnational criminal networks, pair naval interdiction with precision kinetic options and clear messaging.
- Use decisive, calibrated force that signals leaders they face existential consequences to rapidly change adversary behavior.
Pacific Power Projection Faces Missile Saturation
- Projecting power in the Pacific now competes with adversary missile concentrations and cheap precision weapons.
- Naval strategy must combine layered defenses (missiles, EW, decoys) and new tactics to survive in missile-dense environments.
