R C E

WE ARE A MARITIME NATION. Freedom of movement and freedom of access are key to our national security and economic stability.

LITTORALS CONTAIN THE KEY GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT POINTS. The Navy-Marine Corps team is uniquely organized, trained, and equipped to assure access and influence in the

littorals.

AMPHIBIOUS WARSHIPS ARE MORE THAN TRANSPORTS. They are versatile, interoperable, warfighting platforms, capable of going into harm’s way and serving as the

cornerstone of America’s ability to project power & respond to the range of crises.

CONNECTORS ARE CRITICAL ENABLERS. Connectors are a necessary component of naval expeditionary capability and require adequate resourcing.

OUR AMPHIBIOUS REQUIREMENT IS BASED ON 2.0 MEBS

CONDUCTING SIMULTANEOUS FORCIBLE ENTRY OPERATIONS. The USMC amphibious shipping requirement is based on war plans containing the assault echelons of 2 MEBs

conducting simultaneous forcible entry operations.

MPF IS A PROVEN CAPABILITY. The Maritime Prepositioning Force provides global coverage, forward presence, and crisis response.

SEABASING ENABLED CAPABILITY PROVIDES EMPLOYMENT OPTIONS. The introduction of the T-AKE, MLP and LMSR into the MPF program provides a seabasing-enabled capability for

employment options that span the range of military operations.

AMPHIBIOUS COMBAT VEHICLES WORK TO BRIDGE THE SEA AND LAND

DOMAINS. Critical Link - Amphibious Combat Vehicles enable surface access from the sea for the joint force…cross the surf

zone…rapidly get off the beach…and facilitate maneuver to the objective.

ANNUAL REPORT for

AFLOAT MAGTF REQUIREMENTS

The Annual Report for Afloat MAGTF Requirements provides Navy and

Marine Corps capability developers an overview of key programs managed

and monitored by Seabasing Integration Division, Combat Development &

Integration.

The Annual Report also provides a list of requirements for the Afloat MAGTF

to operate in the sea base and to extend naval power ashore through the

conduct of amphibious naval expeditionary operations. The Afloat MAGTF

Requirements List includes capabilities required on amphibious ships,

prepositioning ships, connectors and selected capabilities (MV-22 certification)

on T-AVBs, T-AH, LCS, LCC, JHSVs. The Afloat MAGTF Requirements List

was developed through coordination with multiple seabasing and

expeditionary warfare stakeholders. It is not intended to represent all Marine

Corps requirements.

The AMR was developed by identifying topics that have a significant impact on

the MAGTF’s ability to conduct the full range of military operations.

Each item has a corresponding requirement, a recommended solution, and a

brief description of how the topic impacts the MAGTF. Each topic is evaluated

in correlation to warfighting functions required by the MAGTF and associated

Universal Naval Tasks and Marine Corps Tasks.

K E Y P R O G R A M S Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) is in the Materiel Solutions Analysis (MSA) phase of the acquisition process. An Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and a Fleet Vehicle Mix Study have been completed. A Systems Engineering IPT has developed system concepts and underpinned initial requirements development.

� A draft Capability Development Document (CDD) is undergoing Service and DoN review in anticipation of a Milestone Decision.

LHA 8 will contain a two spot well deck and a reduced island flight deck allowing the MAGTF to conduct simultaneous vertical and surface employment and persistent sustainment while executing amphibious operations. An inventory of eleven active big deck amphibious warships is necessary to sustain global operational requirements. A MAGTF aboard LHA 8 will have greater connector capacity and increased operational tempo. This capability is essential for the MAGTF conducting Ship to Objective Maneuver (STOM).

� Jan 2012 CDD completed JROC staffing � Jan 2013 preliminary design reviews complete

The Afloat MAGTF C4 Required Capabilities (AMC4RC) letter is promulgated annually to identify the capabilities required by the Marine Corps while embarked aboard and operating from amphibious warfare ships, maritime prepositioning ships and the joint high speed vessel.

� 2012 AMC4RC signed by DC CD&I and submitted to OPNAV N2/N6 The integration of MLP completes the Seabasing Enabled (SE) LMSR/MLP/T-AKE triad capability within MPF and provides the MAGTF greater capacity to close, assemble, employ, sustain and reconstitute expeditionary forces in the sea base.

� MLP 1 – USNS Montford Point (est Delivery May 2013) − Keel laid 19 Jan 2012 − 91% build as of 27 Nov 2012 − Available for tasking in FY15

� MLP 2 – USNS John Glenn (est Delivery Mar 2014) − Keel laid 4 Dec 2012 − 25% build as of 27 Nov 2012 − Available for Tasking in FY15

The Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) began in 2000 with four craft per year to provide an additional 10 years of service life to the 20 year service life of the original craft. This program, along with Navy’s LCAC sustainment and potential LCAC SLEP extension initiatives, is critical to maintain the non-displacement craft component of Navy’s landing craft fleet and maintain the balanced connector capabilities needed for amphibious and expeditionary operations.

� Current program is two LCAC SLEP per year � Adequate funding is critical to return to and maintain the four craft per

year originally planned and required.

Program Objective Memorandum (POM) Capabilities Based Assessment Management (CBA) Management is designed to inform multiple capability development venues such as the Marine Corps Force Development Process, the Navy Capability Development Process and the Future Naval Capability Development Process on current seabasing capabilities and gaps and facilitate collaborative solution development and integration.

The Ship-to-Shore Connector (SSC) program will produce LCAC 100s to replace legacy LCAC and LCAC (SLEP) craft that have reached their useful service life. The LCAC 100s will provide increased payload and reliability. The LCAC 100 class craft will enhance the MAGTF's ability to conduct ship to objective maneuver.

� Detailed design and construction contract awarded to Textron, July 12. � Build plan includes delivery of one test & training craft and one

production representative craft in 2017 and 2018 respectively, using R&D funding.

The Dense Pack Access Retrieval & Transit (DPART) will provide a suite of Li-Ion and hybrid diesel/Li-Ion powered material handling equipment that will complement existing MHE to selectively access wheeled/tracked vehicles and containers and omni-directionally move MAGTF equipment in confined spaces (including ships underway, hangars and land based facilities) to connectors for movement to shore, using a common remote control architecture.

� RORO C-LMS: Roll-on/Roll-off Container-Lifting Maneuver System � ORLAM: Opposed Ramp Lift & Maneuvering System � ANT-LWV: Autonomous Naval Transport - Large Wheeled Vehicle � SPIDR II: Selective Positioning Independent Deck-cargo Re-locator

The Prepositioning Capabilities Based Assessment will develop a balanced prepositioning strategy that integrates maritime, ashore, CONUS, and OCONUS prepositioning capabilities for deployment and employment of scalable naval forces in support of projected Combatant Commander requirements.

� Preliminary recommendations January 2013

LHA-6 provides the MAGTF with an enhanced aviation platform designed to maximize F-35B and MV-22 capabilities. SID will support OT&E and assist MAGTF integration through embarkation and warfighting function employment.

� 27-28 Nov 2012 LHA 6 Wargame IPC � May 2013 LHA 6 Wargame

The current fleet of LCU-1600 class craft has exceeded its 25 year expected service life. The LCU sustainment program is critical to maintain the Navy’s displacement craft component of the landing craft fleet at the 32 craft needed to complement the non-displacement LCAC to provide heavy lift fleet inventory required to enable ship-to-shore employment of forces from the sea base.

� Continued funding required until the planned SC(X) program can produce the LCU replacement craft.

LX(R) is the future amphibious warship providing surface and air connector interface and capable of deploying, basing, employing and sustaining MAGTF personnel, equipment and supplies.

� LX(R) Analysis of Alternatives Methodologies approved Nov 2012 The Surface Connector will recapitalize the aging displacement craft fleet. This combined displacement, non-displacement surface connector inventory is critical to enable the maneuver of forces in seabased operating environments.

� The Initial Capabilities Document is pending Navy Capability Board review and approval

� Analysis of Alternatives is programmed for mid-2013. N/MSIC is a collaborative, long-term venture between the Navy and the Marine Corps that applies a holistic, enterprise approach to MAGTF-ship integration. Specifically, it is intended to optimize MAGTF employment aboard L-Class ships by informing key stakeholders (Requirements, Acquisition, PPBE) on alternatives in: 1) Ship design, 2) MAGTF equipment fielding, and 3) Methods of MAGTF employment from ships. All aspects of this effort encompass direct and unique modeling and simulation (M&S) activities to inform Naval Integration issues.

� Supporting LHA-6 Operational Test & Evaluation � Provides Virtual Sand Table (VST) model development for flight

deck/hangar deck ops � Supports LX(R) Analysis of Alternatives (AoA)

NSFS, with necessary range and effects to support expeditionary operations in the littorals, is an essential complementary capability to aviation and ground-based indirect fires.

� Three DDG-1000 class destroyers capable of firing Long Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP) due to deliver in 2016, 2018 and 2020.

� Joint Fires in Support of Expeditionary Operations in the Littorals (JFSEOL) AoA 2010 recommended 5-inch extended range projectile to compliment DDG-1000 LRLAP.

� N96 JFSEOL AoA Follow-on Study Sept 2012 upheld AoA results and reinforced complimentary effect of NSFS within the Joint Fires Triad

The EMRG remains a viable science and technology effort with definite applications relevant to Joint Forcible Entry Operation (JFEO) at ranges from 50NM up to 110NM.

� EMRG completed phase 1 of its Innovative Naval Prototype (INP) program in CY12 and is proceeding along phase 2 program schedule.

� EMRG Hypervelocity Projectile endorsed by N96, N95 and DC, CD&I has potential applicability to NSFS, anti-surface warfare, anti-ship cruise missile defense (ASCM) and anti-ship ballistic missile defense (ASBM).

O P E R A T I O N A L I N P U T Information and lessons learned from operations and exercises, capability gap analysis and advocates that impact the MAGTFs ability to conduct missions across the range of military operations.

The Seabasing Integration Division (SID) sought out and solicited operational input from

various activities and forums. The outcomes and lessons learned from the examples below contributed significantly to the development of the Annual Report for Afloat MAGTF

Requirements.

BOLD ALLIGATOR

2012 Bold Alligator 2012 was an Expeditionary Strike

Group / Marine Expeditionary Brigade

synthetic, scenario driven, simulation

supported, amphibious exercise conducted from 30 January-10 February

2012. BA 12 helped identify a wide range of

gaps associated with the execution of seabasing

and amphibious operations.

AMPHIB OAG The Amphibious Warfare

Operational Advisory Group meets annually to

discuss and report amphibious warfare

challenges, priorities and issues.

MEU OAG The Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) Operational

Advisory Group (OAG) is a forum for vetting issues and

serves in an advisory capacity to the Deputy

Commandant for Plans, Policies and Operations. The OAG examines MEU related issues for review and consensus prior to

submission to other forums for analysis and solution

planning.

MEU EMBARKATION MEU embarkation
