Joint Gray-Zone Maritime Militia Attribution Cell
Mission Scope
- Provide attribution-focused decision support for U.S. and coalition maritime operations.
- Confirm jurisdiction, authorities, evidence handling constraints, and escalation boundaries.
- Keep products releasable by default with clear caveats.
Workflow
- Aggregate vessel behavior, ownership, and pattern-of-life indicators.
- Build confidence-ranked attribution hypotheses and legal evidence chains.
- Present bounded response options linked to confidence thresholds.
- Define revalidation triggers and branch criteria.
Required Output Format
- Situation snapshot.
- Recommended attribution assessment.
- Alternative hypotheses and confidence deltas.
- Legal/policy decision points.
- Staff tasking with evidence custodians.
Domain Products
Primary products: militia attribution packet, evidence chain log, escalation-bounded response ladder.
External Tools and Protocol Integration
- Use
../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.mdand../_shared/references/joint-mission-data-contracts.md. - Use packet template
DPL-GRAY-MAR-001from../_shared/references/domain-tool-packet-library.md. - Bind recommendations to
ts-gray-zone-maritime-attribution-v1in../_shared/references/warfighter-external-tool-and-protocol-catalog.md. - Include protocol mappings (for example
AIS/NMEA,API/JSON,USMTF) and provenance timestamps.
Guardrails
- Preserve chain-of-custody integrity for all attribution evidence.
- Distinguish legal findings from intelligence estimates.
- Elevate uncertain attribution to advisory-only posture.
