The document discusses the U.S. Marine Corps' maritime prepositioning ships and strategy. It outlines plans to enhance capabilities through the use of roll-on/roll-off cargo ships coupled with mobile landing platforms. These platforms will provide increased throughput and selective offload capabilities. The mobile landing platform is described as providing vehicle transfer between prepositioning ships and shore via landing craft air cushion vehicles. The first mobile landing platform, the USNS Montford Point, is discussed as being near completion.

In July 2011, Second Line of Defense sat down with Col. Mark Desens to discuss the recent deployment of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. Earlier we had discussed, with Col. “Ozzie” Osborn, the 15th MEU, the evolution of the ARG as a very flexible combat structure and set of assets.
http://www.sldinfo.com/the-amphibious-ready-group-a-core-national-capability/
Col. Desens led 26th MEU through two deployments; the first in Sept. 2008 – April 2009 and most recently Aug. 2010 – May 2011. His deployments included exercises throughout the Central and Africa Commands, and operations in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Libya.
Indeed, one might refer to the Agile Response Group rather than to the Amphibious Ready Group. We crafted a slideshow, which shows the flexibility of the ARG during a deployment. The 26th MEU is shown during its multi-month deployment, which included Operation Odyssey Dawn.
http://www.sldinfo.com/the-agile-response-group-or-the-arg-reconsidered/
We noted: “it is clear that the range of operations capable of being executed concurrently is not widely grasped in the strategic community.”
The USMC is shaping a 21st century approach to force insertion and to the sea base as a key element of such an approach. A key element of working the way ahead is the USMC approach to digital interoperability in shaping an integrated force with reach range and punch.
Bold Alligator 2012 and the Expeditionary Strike GroupICSA, LLC
Bold Alligator 2012 was significantly more than an amphibious exercise. And in a real sense it was not. It was a littoral force engagement exercise leveraging the seabase to operate over a very large battlespace. And it was an exercise which pick up some of the lessons learned off of Libya and are carrying them forward into the 21st Century.
When compared to the last major amphibious exercise conducted in 1996 “Operation Purple Star,” one of the clear differences was the impact of the Osprey. The speed and range of the Osprey demonstrated in both Libyan operations and in Bold Alligator provided glimpses of the future. The seabase can be linked ship to ship, from ship to shore, from shore to ship and back again. During the exercise, the Osprey landed on the USNS Robert E. Peary, a T-AKE ship and, indeed, participated in the raid 185 miles away on Fort Pickett.
As the chief coalition officer involved in the exercise, Lt. Commander Pastoor argued, “This really is about power projection from the sea and the ability to move the insertion force from and to the sea base and to operate throughout the battlespace.”
The promise of the ESG enabled by the Osprey and the coming F-35B is really rather simple. The ESG enabled by the Osprey and the F-35B is neither a Carrier Battle Group nor an Amphibious Ready Group. It is far more flexible than a CBG, in that it is a modular mix and match capability, which clearly can include allies as it did in the Exercise or in the operations off of Libya. And it is not simply an “ARG on steroids,” as one of the Harrier squadron commander noted. “It is far more capable.”
An ESG will allow for an economy of force whereby the ARG-MEU can be scaled up to include other sea based on air assets to allow for dominance of the battlespace. It is scalable both in terms of assets contained within the sea base or contributed by various land support structures, air or ground.
According to the 2nd MEF commander in the exercise, Brigadier General Owens, who will soon be moving to Okinawa, by strengthening the ability of the seabase to provide for logistics ashore, one can insert force without moving an iron mountain with it ashore. And “we get away from that image of amphibious assault where we’re going into a limited area, and that you have limited places you can land, so the enemy knows you’re coming to one of these two places. The goal of the ESG is to hit them where they’re not!”
The distributed character of the sea base seen in this exercise and highlighted by the evolving ESG allows for a modular mix and match quality. And this mix and match quality can embody the key elements of what one wants in 21st century forces: presence, economy of force and scalability.

General Deptula on the Evolution of the PRC AirforceICSA, LLC

These four slides provide an overview on the shift of the USMC over the next decade, a shift referred to by the Corps as the distributed laydown. The distributed laydown started as a real estate move FROM Okinawa TO Guam but it clear that under the press of events and with the emergence of partnering opportunities the DL has become something quite different. It is about re-shaping and re-configuring the USMC presence within an overall strategy for the joint force and enabling coalition capabilities as well.
The distributed laydown fits the geography of the Pacific and the evolving partnership dynamics in the region. The Pacific is vast; with many nations and many islands. The expeditionary quality of the USMC – which is evolving under the impact of new aviation and amphibious capabilities – is an excellent fit for the island quality of the region.
The USMC is building out four major areas to operate FROM (Japan, Guam, Hawaii and, on a rotational basis, Australia.) But as one member of the MARFORPAC staff put it: “We go from our basic locations TO a partner or area to train. We are mandated by the Congress to train our forces, and in practical terms in the Pacific, this means we move within the region to do so. And we are not training other nation’s forces; we train WITH other nation’s forces to shape congruent capabilities.”
The basic template around which USMC training activities operate is at the intersection of three key dynamics: the required training for the USMC unit; meeting select PACOM Theater campaign priorities; and the partner nation’s focus or desires for the mutually training exercise or opportunity.
In effect, the training emerges from the sweet spot of the intersection of a Venn diagram of three cross cutting alignment of interests.

Exercises and training are central to shaping coherent and effective capabilities to deal with 21st century challenges. The US and the Pacific allies are working within a wide-ranging exercise regime to reach more effective outcomes for future contingencies and current operations.

The title of the Williams Foundation Seminar held on October 24, 2019 was “the requirements for fifth generation manoeuvre.” But those presentations which dealt with the industry and the government-industry relationship highlighted that the legacy approach to setting requirements which not deliver effectively fifth-generation manoeuvre capabilities.
The industrial-government eco system is evolving and that evolution needs to deliver cross-domain integration which requires government and industry to work together more effectively. And moving passed stove-piped platform acquisition and finding ways to shape Australian defense architectures which can subsume systems bought abroad within a more integrated Australian set of capabilities are two of the key tasks facing the Australian defense system.

The core GATR capability is really about rapid response.
In an article by Debra Werner of Space News published on December 5, 2017, the role of GATR was highlighted.
Cubic Corporation’s GATR satellite antennas continue to provide communications links for residents and community leaders in Puerto Rico more than two months after Hurricane Maria devastated the U.S. territory and nearby Caribbean islands.
Employees of GATR Technologies, part of Cubic Corporation’s Mission Solutions Division, were in the U.S. Virgin Islands working to reestablish communications in the wake of Hurricane Irma, when Help.NGO’s Disaster Immediate Response Team and Cisco Systems’ Tactical Operations Team called for assistance in Puerto Rico.
Victor Vega, GATR Technologies director of emerging solutions, and his colleagues packed inflatable satellite antennas in suitcases and brought them to areas of Puerto Rico where hurricane-force winds and fallen trees had dismantled the terrestrial communications infrastructure. They installed inflatable GATR 2.4 meter antennas on rooftops, including two U.S. Army National Guard buildings that served as a distribution point for food and water.
