The Implications of Tiltrotor Mobile Combat Formations on Future War

Abstract

Tiltrotor mobile formations provide decisive, asymmetric mobility advantages to the GCE and increase the MAGTF's forcible entry options at reduced response times. Leveraging the mobility advantage of the MV-228, the USMC can develop a tiltrotor mobile force which provides an unparalleled crisis response force, flexible defensive options, and a decisive offensive formation. This paper develops operational concepts for the tiltrotor beyond a replacement for the CH-46E and examines the implications of formations which can move quickly around the battlefield
