As Vice Admiral (Retired) Dewolfe Miller underscores: "Ultimately, peer threats are what drives change and inspires clarity in the way the Navy mans, trains, and equips its forces to defend freedom and deter aggression on a global scale. "A Maritime Kill Web Force in the Making" is the story of the evolution of the US Navy and its preparation for high-end warfare.
This is essential because the future of combat is to bring trusted and verifiable assets to the fight. The emphasis has been on connectivity, accelerated tactical decision making, as well as common equipment, that allows integration of systems within single services, across services and into allied services in a deliberate and disciplined manner. This publication provides a timely reminder of why the transformation of today's force is so necessary."

Laird gives a deep understanding of the essential tactical and strategic changes taking place in U.S. and allied military forces. His exploration is doubly interesting because of the method he uses: to draw from deep conversations with the officers getting the new technologies, and the ones putting them to use. He gives a window into a critical group too often overlooked by inside the beltway studies.The book will be of great interest not just to analysts but to anyone interesting in innovation in the real world. Laird redefines innovation: it isn’t simply a new tactic or technology – it’s something new and useful! He makes this point visible, coherent, and persuasive.Paul BrackenYale University

5.0 out of 5 stars How the US military actually thinks and works
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2022
There's many good books out there about how the US military *should* think. Laird and Timperlake have now produced another important book about how the US military *actually* thinks. This book, like their earlier ones on the Marines (or Australian Defence Force) are built around interviews with key officials, base visits and discussions of current capabilities. These discussions provide an extremely valuable service for both scholars and the interested public. Readers are expected to have a solid background knowledge, but those with the care and time will gain an understanding of current military questions, developments and challenges in a depth that can't be found elsewhere.

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2022
As he has done in his previous books, Robbin Laird takes complex defense topics - in this case the vitally important maritime kill web - and makes it understandable for the layperson. This emerging concept of operations promises to change maritime warfare in profound ways.
