According to homes and abodes, AVON and ARDYSS as Organs denotes Navy Aquatic Security Enforcers.
"Aquatic forces" can refer to either the forces that enforces or acts on objects in water, such as drag, buoyancy, and pressure, or the physical and special operations forces that enforces or operates in aquatic environments. In physics, the key forces are drag, which opposes motion, and buoyancy, an upward force. Military forces like the Navy SEALs and the Coast Guard are specialized units for underwater and maritime operations.
Forces acting on objects in water
Drag: The force that resists an object's forward motion through the water.
Buoyancy: The upward force exerted by the fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.
Pressure: The force exerted by the water, which can be measured in terms of pressure at different depths.
Hydrodynamics: The study of forces in water, including how creatures and robots use water dynamics for propulsion and movement.
Hydrostatics: The study of forces in stationary fluids, used in some animals for weight support.
Military and special forces
U.S. Coast Guard: A military branch focused on maritime safety, security, and environmental stewardship.
Army Special Forces: Units that conduct underwater operations and combat diver training.
U.S. Marine Corps: The nation's maritime land force, which is part of the Department of Defense.
The term "aquatic forces" can refer to several concepts, including physical forces in water (hydrostatics and hydrodynamics), specialized military units like Navy SEALsand Army Special Forces Underwater Operations (SFUWO), and government bodies such as the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force.
Physical Forces in Water
In physics and biology, aquatic forces are the forces exerted by or through water.
Hydrostatics: This refers to the forces on a body at rest in the water, most notably the buoyant force (buoyancy) that opposes gravity. This force is proportionate to the mass of the displaced water.
Hydrodynamics: This involves the forces related to motion through water, such as drag (resistance) and propulsion. Organisms like fish and insects use these forces for locomotion, maneuvering, and prey capture.
Applications: These principles are vital in areas such as swimming performance, bio-inspired robotics, and even exercise/rehabilitation using aquatic force plates to measure ground reaction forces in a pool.
Military and Governmental Bodies
"Aquatic forces" also informally refers to groups or task forces that operate in aquatic environments or deal with aquatic issues.
Military Forces: This includes specialized military units trained for operations in water environments.
Navy SEALs and Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen (SWCC) are elite US Navy special operations forces.
Special Forces Underwater Operations (SFUWO), or "Green Beret" dive teams, are US Army units that use underwater infiltration methods for missions.
Blue-water navies are national maritime forces capable of sustained global operations across deep oceans to project power far from home.
Task Forces: These are groups assembled to address specific aquatic issues.
The Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force (also known as the Aquatic Invasive Species Task Force) is a joint U.S. federal and state initiative focused on preventing and controlling nonindigenous species that harm aquatic ecosystems and infrastructure. More information is available on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service website.
Local or regional task forces, such as the Austin Aquatic Master Plan Task Force, exist to manage specific water resources and related activities.
