Maritime Exclusion Zones: A Tool for the Operational Commander?
1992
Young, Timothy C.
This paper will examine wartime Maritime Exclusion Zones in an effort to determine their usefulness to an operational commander conducting wartime operations at sea. After a brief introductory discussion, historical uses of exclusion zones will be examined. The strategies employed by the historical examples will next be discussed in an attempt to explore the operational purposes which might be served by the use of such zones. Next, the legal ramifications of exclusion zones will be explored. Finally, conclusions and recommendations will be drawn. It is my thesis that, although Maritime Exclusion Zones may have some operational value, they are not a tool which should be routinely used by the operational commander.
