Developing the New Marine Littoral Regiments to Operate Effectively with the Navy's Composite Warfare Command

Abstract

The USMC is developing a new unit, the Marine Littoral Regiment (MLR), to conduct Expeditionary Advanced Basing Operations (EABO) in potentially contested maritime environment. In order for the MLR to work well, it should be assigned to function as the Expeditionary Warfare Commander (EXWC) under the USNs Composite Warfare Command (CWC) construct. In addition, the MLR should employ a new Light Amphibious Warfare (LAW) vessel to provide the USMC strategic, operational, and tactical advantages that support both the EABO concept and the USN's Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) concept.
