A True Return to Our Amphibious Roots: An Emerging Concept for Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations

Abstract

The Marine Corps can best serve the Joint Force and our nations security leaders by adding capabilities that will enable the Marine Corps to conduct Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) in support of an integrated naval campaign. EABO is a solution to assist the Navy in the conduct of its sea control mission with a force structure optimized for the conduct of crisis response missions. Through historical analysis and a review of existing capabilities and concepts EABO is revealed as both historically significant, operationally relevant in the current environment, and plausible with the addition of existing capabilities.
