Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the threat analysis across Africa that should be included in Force Design 2030 (FD2030) for the United States Marine Corps. FD2030 is a strategic guidance document with emphasis on Great Power Competition with China, Russia, Korea, Iran and violent extremist organisations. Africa is not mentioned. This is a notable omission, given that high-level interventions by the Marines in the past to Africa have not been overtly successful. Given geo-strategic significances and hot spots, it is inevitable that the Marines will be deployed again landward to Africa or seaward of the continent. Recommendations are made to be included in the document based upon lessons learned from failures in Somalia, Libya and Lebanon and successes in Syria and Iraq, and the experiences of others – France in Mali and Burkina Faso and United States Africa Command. Great Power Competition, violent extremist organisations and the grey-zone phenomenon across Africa are scrutinised, as are intelligence, counterintelligence and hybrid warfare.

美国海军陆战队2030年部队设计忽略非洲

摘要本文探讨了美国海军陆战队应纳入《2030年部队设计》（FD2030）的非洲威胁分析。FD2030是一份战略指导文件，重点关注与中国、俄罗斯、韩国、伊朗和暴力极端主义组织的大国竞争。没有提到非洲。这是一个明显的遗漏，因为海军陆战队过去对非洲的高层干预并没有取得明显的成功。考虑到地缘战略意义和热点，海军陆战队将不可避免地再次部署到非洲大陆的陆地或海上。根据从索马里、利比亚和黎巴嫩的失败以及在叙利亚和伊拉克的成功中吸取的经验教训，以及法国在马里和布基纳法索以及美国非洲司令部等其他国家的经验，提出了将纳入文件的建议。大国竞争、暴力极端主义组织和整个非洲的灰色地带现象，以及情报、反间谍和混合战争都受到了审查。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
