■ 미국의 무력시위(武力示威)



2004년6월2일 펜타곤(Pentagon)은, 美 해군이 7개 항모전단(航母戰團)[CSG, Carrier Strike Group]을 동원해서 분쟁지역에 신속 전개하는 훈련 「Summer Pulse 04」를 6월 첫째주부터 8월까지 실시한다고 발표했다.



「Summer Pulse 04」는, 6개 CSG를 30일 이내에 분쟁지역에 전개하고 2개 이상의 CSG를 3개월 이내에 추가 배치 내지 이미 배치된 CSG와 교대하거나 다른 분쟁지역에 배치할 수 있도록 대기시키는 함대대응계획(艦隊對應計劃)[FRP, Fleet Response Plan]의 일환으로 美 해군에서 실시하는 첫 훈련이다.



향후 대규모 CSG 배치가 확실시 되는 지역 (1) 한반도 (2) 이란 (3) 시리아 (4) 중국-대만. 현재 서태평양에는 두개의 CSG가 배치되어 있다.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 2, 2004



Navy Tests New Operational Construct



Seven Carrier Strike Groups Underway for Exercise "Summer

Pulse 04"



The Department of Defense announced today that this summer,

simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike

groups (CSGs) will demonstrate the ability of the Navy to

provide credible combat power across the globe by operating

in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and coalition

military forces.



"Summer Pulse 04" will be the Navy`s first exercise of its

new operational construct, the Fleet Response Plan (FRP).

FRP is about new ways of operating, training, manning, and

maintaining the fleet that results in increased force

readiness and the ability to provide significant combat

power to the President in response to a national emergency

or crisis.



Beginning this week and continuing through August, the Navy

will exercise the full range of skills involved in

simultaneously deploying and employing carrier strike groups

around the world. "Summer Pulse 04" will include scheduled

deployments, surge operations, joint and international

exercises, and other advanced training and port visits.



Under the FRP construct, the Navy can provide six CSGs in

less than 30 days to support contingency operations around

the globe, and two more CSGs can be ready in three months to

reinforce or rotate with initially responding forces, to

continue presence operations in other parts of the world, or

to support military action in another crisis.



"Summer Pulse 04" will exercise the logistics and shore

infrastructure necessary to execute a large scale surge

operation, stress the operational concepts in the Navy`s Sea

Power 21 strategy, and improve Navy interoperability with

numerous allies and coalition partners as well as other U.S.

military forces.



The seven aircraft carriers involved in "Summer Pulse 04"

will include: the Norfolk-based USS George Washington CSG

and the San Diego-based USS John C. Stennis CSG, both

currently deployed, and Yokosuka, Japan-based USS Kitty

Hawk.



The Mayport, Fla.-based USS John F Kennedy CSG will begin a

combined and joint exercise early this month, followed by a

scheduled overseas deployment.



The Norfolk-based USS Harry S. Truman CSG will conduct a

scheduled training exercise followed by overseas pulse

operations with the Norfolk-based USS Enterprise CSG,

beginning early this month.



USS Ronald Reagan will conduct operations in the U.S.

Northern Command and U.S. Southern Command theaters during

the ship`s interfleet transfer from Norfolk, Va., to its

Pacific Fleet homeport of San Diego.



The near-simultaneous deployment of seven carrier strike

groups provides the Navy and the joint combatant commanders

an opportunity to exercise the FRP while maintaining the

ability to respond to crises around the globe, enhance

regional security and relationships, meet combatant

commander requirements including forward presence, and

demonstrate a commitment to allies and coalition

partners. "Summer Pulse 04" is scheduled to conclude in

August.



For more information on the "Summer Pulse 04" events and to

schedule coverage opportunities, please contact Fleet Forces

Command media office at (757) 836-3600.

Enterprise Deploys for Summer Pulse 04



Story Number: NNS040603-01



Release Date: 6/3/2004 9:25:00 AM



By Journalist 2nd Class Fletcher Gibson, USS Enterprise

Public Affairs



ABOARD USS ENTERPRISE, At Sea (NNS) - USS Enterprise (CVN

65) deployed June 3 with the embarked squadrons of Carrier

Air Wing (CVW) 1), sending more than 5,000 Sailors to

participate in Summer Pulse 04, the simultaneous deployment

of seven aircraft Carrier Strike Groups (CSGs) over the

summer months designed to demonstrate the ability of the

Navy to provide credible combat power across the globe by

operating in five theaters with other U.S., allied and

coalition military forces.



Summer Pulse 04 will be the Navy`s first exercise of the

Fleet Response Plan (FRP). FRP is about new ways of

operating, training, manning, and maintaining the fleet that

results in increased force readiness and the ability to

provide significant combat power to the President in

response to a national emergency or crisis.



Beginning this week and continuing through August, the Navy

will exercise and refine the full range of skills involved

in simultaneously deploying and then employing carrier

strike groups in numerous locations around the world.



Summer Pulse 04 will include scheduled deployments, surge

operations, joint and international exercises, and other

advanced training at home and abroad, and port visits.



Under the FRP concept, the Navy can provide up to six CSGs

in less than 30 days to support contingency operations

around the globe, and two more CSGs can be ready in three

months to reinforce or rotate with initially responding

forces, to continue presence operations in other parts of

the world, or to support military action in another crisis.



Summer Pulse 04 will exercise the extensive logistics and

shore infrastructure support necessary to successfully

execute a largescale surge operation, and improve Navy

interoperability with numerous allies and coalition

partners, as well as other U.S. military forces.



The six other aircraft carriers involved in Summer Pulse 04

will include the USS George Washington (CVN 73) and USS John

C. Stennis (CVN 74) strike groups, both currently deployed,

and Yokosuka, Japan-based USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63).



USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) CSG will begin a combined and

joint exercise early this month, followed by a scheduled

overseas deployment. USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) CSG will

conduct a scheduled training exercise followed by overseas

pulse operations with Enterprise (CVN 65) CSG, beginning

early this month.



USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), which left Norfolk, Va., May 27,

for its new homeport of San Diego, will conduct operations

in the U.S. Northern Command and U.S. Southern Command

theaters during the ship`s interfleet transfer.



The near-simultaneous deployment of seven carrier strike

groups provides the Navy and the joint combatant commanders

a unique opportunity to exercise the FRP while maintaining

the ability to respond to crises around the globe, enhance

regional security and relationships, meet combatant

commander requirements including forward presence, and

demonstrate a commitment to allies and coalition partners

across the globe.



"This is as big a Navy mission as anything else we`ve done,"

said Capt. John Lockler, Enterprise operations

officer. "We`re showing the flag, showing our power, and

showing our ability to deploy and operate with these

countries."



Enterprise`s role in Summer Pulse 04 will range from

exercises in the northern Atlantic Ocean to the

Mediterranean Sea, and include cooperative missions with

European and African nations including England, France,

Spain, Morocco, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The

entire deployment will culminate in Majestic Eagle, a multi-

nation exercise in and around the Eastern Atlantic.



"Majestic Eagle is the largest of all the exercises we plan

to do," said Lockler. "It will involve surface forces, air

forces and submarines, all operating in a NATO environment."



The Enterprise crew will gain valuable training by operating

with foreign militaries. By the end of the exercises, the

goal is for U.S. and European ships to operate in the same

region and coordinate surface and air operations without

conflict.
