Air power plays a big role in successful maritime operations. This fact is well recognized in Air Force doctrinal manuals and in the assignments of important maritime missions to the Air Force. However, integration of Air Force resources and efforts with those of Naval and Marine forces remains a difficult problem. Captain Bradley's study addresses this issue and offers several recommendations worthy of serious consideration. Captain Bradley's study is thought provoking and at times controversial. Whether we agree with his recommendations or not, he forces us to seriously consider a vitally important subject that demands increased attention. Major conclusions of this research are: 1) Establish joint maritime doctrine; 2) Determine the means of conducting maritime missions; 3) Get the equipment; 4) Ensure joint training and exercises; 5) Validate command arrangements; 6) Ensure working-level staff interaction; and 7) Provide doctrinal information.
