Equipping the Nmesis Battery

Abstract

As the Marine Corps seeks to meet the strategic guidance set forth in the 2018 National DefenseStrategy, the organization must replace legacy weapons systems that are less effective within the littoralcombat area. As part of the Navy and Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS), theMarine Corps will incorporate the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) as one capability that will contribute to theNavys freedom of maneuver within an enemys weapon engagement zone (WEZ). Designated as theROGUE-Fires system, the Marine Corps solution is an unmanned Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) thathas the ability to mount either the NSM or the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) family ofmunitions. This studys purpose is to assess the ideal equipping solution to ensure a NMESIS battery canaccomplish its Training and Readiness (T and R) standards, assuming that it will be financially unfeasible toequip each unit with a full complement of 18 systems per battery. By limiting systems per battery inCONUS, the Marine Corps can reallocate additional funds toward replacing other legacy systems identifiedin Force Design 2030. Data used in the study included Total Force Training requirements, MOS-specifictraining objectives, and current unmanned system operators training objectives to formulate an example oflikely T and R standards for a NMESIS battery
