The Center on Irregular Warfare and Armed Groups and the Naval War College Foundation co-sponsored our 2023 Symposium entitled "Exploring Our Maritime Strategies". Attendees included accomplished professionals ranging from the USCG to the CNA. Over this 2-day event our panels discussed a vast array of challenges confronting these maritime regions. Our goal on review is the development of actional policy guidance for the U.S. With the extensive contributions of those attending, we look forward to the follow-up on this mission
