This book was released on 1998-09-01 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marine Corps has embraced the concepts of Operational Maneuver From The Sea (OMFTS) and Ship-to-Objective Maneuver (STOM) as the next progression in the evolution of amphibious warfare. These related concepts envision harnessing emerging technologies to allow the projection of naval power ashore faster and from greater distances than in the past. Additionally, both concepts identify the ability to conduct sea-based logistics (SBL) as a key requirement for successful implementation. Sea-based logistics involves executing a wide range of logistical functions from a sea-base rather than from sites traditionally established ashore. Acknowledged enhancements are required to realize a complete SBL capability; however, the ability to provide some measure of sea-based sustainment exists today. This thesis models the sea-based sustainment of Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) (MEU(SOC)) forces deployed from Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) ships. Missions are developed for analysis; each is coupled with an appropriate force package of personnel and equipment density. Sustainment requirements and available transportation capacities are then determined and compared for each mission. This comparison along with several excursions provides insight into the nature of sea-based sustainment feasibility. It also gauges potential limitations for sea-based sustainment.

This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS) is a Marine Corps concept that shifts the emphasis from blue-water superiority to power projection in the littorals. OMFTS treats the sea as maneuver space, and moves forces directly from ship to objectives ashore with little or no prior build-up of supplies ashore. This thesis develops the Sea-Based Logistic Optimization Model (SBLOM), an integer programming model that assesses the feasibility of conducting sea- based logistics in an OMFTS scenario based on capabilities of current and future assets, e.g., the Landing Craft Air Cushion and the MV-22 Osprey aircraft. SBLOM minimizes (when feasible) the initial fuel requirement of the Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) (MEU(SOC)) ashore, and develops a fuel-delivery schedule from the sea using the lift assets available on a group of three or four ships known as an Amphibious Readiness Group (ARG). Using two OMFTS scenarios, SBLOM is run with the ARG at stand-off distances of 50, 70, and 100 nautical miles. The scenarios involve a humanitarian mission and an amphibious raid. In all cases, the use of sea-based logistics is feasible: An optimal delivery schedule is developed that meets the daily fuel requirements of the MEU(SOC) and maintains sufficient fuel levels the throughout the mission's duration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tradition has continued to the present day with the current Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable). The purpose of this thesis is first to assess Marine Corps hybrid operations in specific historical cases in order to rate the Marine Corps' historical performance in such roles. Secondly, the thesis will provide an assessment of the current MEU(SOC) program, with emphasis placed on its relevance in current and future operations, as well as deconfliction with established Special Operations Forces (SOF) that fall under the auspices of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea mines have been important in naval warfare throughout history and continue to be so today. They have caused major damage to naval forces, slowed or stopped naval actions and commercial shipping, and forced the alteration of strategic and tactical plans. The threat posed by sea mines continues, and is increasing, in today's world of inexpensive advanced electronics, nanotechnology, and multiple potential enemies, some of which are difficult to identify. This report assesses the Department of the Navy's capabilities for conducting naval mining and countermining sea operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marine Corps has formed a vision of how to conduct future amphibious warfare through its development of Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS), Ship-to-Objective Maneuver (STOM), and Sea-based Logistics (SBL) concepts. These concepts have forces deploying directly from ship to objectives ashore with a reduction or elimination of logistics infrastructure ashore. Combat forces operating ashore will be sustained directly from a sea-base with support from ship-to-shore transporters. By sea basing logistics functions, there will be a much greater demand upon these transporters. This thesis models the sea-based sustainment of Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) forces deployed from amphibious warfare ships. A scenario for analysis is developed with force packages of personnel and equipment located at certain locations ashore during different days of an operation. Sustainment requirements and available transporter capacity are then determined and compared for twenty-seven cases comprising different ship-to-shore distances, different levels of aircraft attrition due to enemy interdiction, and different footprints of mobile logistics forces deployed ashore. This comparison provides insight into the ability of SBL to sustain forces ashore conducting rations in accordance with OMFTS and STOM concepts.
