... This not only creates logistical difficulties, as mine warfare expertise is often far from areas of conflict, but also makes it difficult to incorporate mine warfare operations into training exercises (Hartmann and Truver, 1991~. Mine warfare training should be considered equally with more traditional branches of naval warfare, as the ability of naval forces to operate freely in the coastal zone is dependent on their ability to rid the battlefield of emplaced mines.

... To ensure that battlefield decisions accurately represent prevailing environmental conditions, current doctrine should be updated to use a wider range of environmental data and robust statistical information. · Data Collection and Database Capabilities - The expansion of naval operational focus in shallow water environments necessitates that the naval meteorologic and oceanographic community continue to develop methods for rapid collection of high-resolution environmental data.

... symposium on tactical oceanography successfully identified areas where advances in environmental science and technology will strengthen and enhance the Navy's mine warfare capabilities. The symposium also examined the present state of knowledge and the environmental predictive capability relevant to mine warfare.
