Which term is Mine warfare; The use of mines for control/denial of sea or harbor areas, and mine countermeasures over, under or upon the surface?

• A. Mine warfare
• B. Anti-Submarine Warfare
• C. Mobility
• D. Intelligence

Answer: (A)

Mine warfare covers the use of naval mines to control or deny access to sea routes and harbors, and also the mine countermeasures used to detect, identify, and neutralize those mines. This field includes both offensive mining and defensive countermining, with technicians operating in all states—floating on the surface, suspended in the water column, or resting on the seabed. That broad scope is what links laying mines with the procedures to counter them. Anti-Submarine Warfare focuses on submarines, Mobility on moving forces and assets, and Intelligence on gathering and analyzing information practice; none describe the combined mining and mine-clearing activities described here.
