      abstract = {The Horn of Africa is among the most dangerous areas of  the world for maritime activity. Given the scarcity of  regional capabilities to police these waters, Coalition  naval forces maintain a maritime security presence in the  region. These forces have had some notable successes, but  face a complex challenge in suppressing piracy and human  smuggling. At the heart of this maritime problem is the  vast and ungoverned land area of Somalia, in which chaos  creates too many incentives and not enough deterrence for  maritime criminal activity. The recent creation of a United  States Africa Command (USAFRICOM) places the landmass of  Africa (except Egypt) inside the AFRICOM AOR. As a result,  the dynamic waters surrounding the Horn of Africa will soon  lay on a seam between the USCENTCOM AOR and USAFRICOM AOR,  creating new challenges and opportunities for conducting  maritime security operations in the region. This paper will  first discuss the operational factors that affect maritime  security efforts to date. It will then examine command and  control implications brought about by the creation of  USAFRICOM and the combatant commanders' shifting seams of  responsibility. Finally, it will make recommendations on  how to work effectively across this dynamic seam of  responsibility to the benefit of both USAFRICOM and  USCENTCOM.},
