The increasing emphasis on IW is forcing the Navy to reconsider the traditional definition of the "maritime environment" in which the service operates. The jointly signed document, "A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower" outlines the increasing importance that littoral regions and inland waterways such as ports, harbors, and rivers have on our nation's security. The widening nature of this maritime domain will require greater cooperation with the U.S. Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and all of our international partners in the future to ensure stability and security in order to protect our nation from terrorist organizations. The author suggests that the Navy utilize a model developed by the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) to create an "IW Wing" of capabilities designed to build partnership capacity in areas such as foreign internal defense and security assistance. The foundation for such a "Wing" currently exists within the Naval Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC).
