Operation Atlantis

Abstract

The Joint Force currently does not have a plan to conduct logistics operations in support of a no notice Joint Forcible Entry Operation (JFEO) from the littorals. The Maritime Prepositioned Forces are currently not postured to support operations along the Western Coast of Africa or either coast of Central and South America. A concept that calls for a variety of submersible cargo craft that can be both manned or unmanned would benefit offensive operations in the type of environment described above. Additionally, the technology currently exists to complete the building of new or retrofitting old craft that can meet the prescribed criteria.
