SEABASING REQUIREMENTS DEVELOPMENT DEMANDS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT WITH CONGRESSIONAL DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, JOINT STAFF, DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY, MARINE CORPS, INDUSTRY AND MULTI-NATIONAL LEADERSHIP GIVEN ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO THE NATIONAL DEFENSE. IN ADDITION, DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND FOR THESE CAPABILITIES FROM COMBATANT COMMANDERS AND THE NEED TO FULLY INTEGRATE SEABASING CAPABILITIES THROUGHOUT NAVAL, JOINT AND MULTINATIONAL FORCES, MANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES NECESSITATES DIRECT GENERAL OFFICER PARTICIPATION.
