Military Monday with John D. Gresham and Author/Game Designer Larry Bond

At the beginning of 2015, few people could have imagined the political and military events that would occur in the following 12 months, much less how much they would revolve and depend upon Seapower around the globe. From the South China Sea and the Caspian, to the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean, Seapower has made a massive comeback in terms of importance and for world leaders trying to exercise their options. What made 2015 so special however, as been the diversity of nations deciding to employ their navies in positive, decisive actions across the globe. Russia, China, England, France, Japan and dozens of other nations have deployed Seapower for everything from Freedom of Navigation preservation, to counterterrorism in the Middle East. And while the United States Navy and Marine Corps were there also, tight rules of engagement and highly limited foreign policies restricted their use. Clearly, for the first time since the end of the Cold War, worldwide Seapower employment has become a genuine and favored option for national leaders across the globe.

Gresham (@greshamj01) for Military Monday (@MilitaryMonday on the Writestream Radio Network (@Writestream)) at 1 PM Eastern time.
