Land-based antiship missile systems are an effective tool in countering maritime aggression, and this is being increasingly recognized inside and outside the force. In his planning guidance, Marine Corps Commandant General David Berger wrote, “One possible future [of the Unit Deployment Program] would be the forward deployment of multiple High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) batteries armed with long-range anti-ship missiles.” Employing these systems in the littorals of the western Pacific would disrupt current adversary investments and strategy.
…The need for littoral fires is not unique to the western Pacific. Poland has acquired antiship missiles, and the Baltic and Scandinavian countries have operated them for decades.
