DMO
Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) is a U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operational concept that involves spreading naval forces across a wide geographic area rather than concentrating them, making them less vulnerable to enemy attacks and enabling more flexible operations.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) is a U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operational doctrine that leverages disaggregated, geographically dispersed forces across multiple domains (sea, air, cyber, space) to achieve sea control and power projection, particularly in contested environments characterized by advanced anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities.
BACKGROUND
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is the military organisation responsible for the defence of Australia and its national interests. It consists of three services: the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). The ADF has a strength of just over 90,000 personnel and is supported by the Department of Defence alongside other civilian entities that are also members of the Australian Defence Organisation.
