What type of operations require FMF Warfare Officers to engage in interagency coordination?

Engagement in joint naval operations often necessitates FMF Warfare Officers to coordinate with various agencies, both military and civilian. These operations usually involve complex missions where collaboration across different service branches and governmental agencies is crucial for success. For example, joint operations might involve securing shipping lanes and conducting maritime security operations that require input and cooperation from the Coast Guard, Navy, Customs and Border Protection, and even international entities.

This interagency coordination ensures that all operational elements work seamlessly together, allowing for the effective exchange of information and resources, which is vital in achieving shared objectives. Each agency may bring specialized capabilities and insights that enhance mission outcomes, making this coordination a fundamental aspect of joint naval operations.
