SOF-MAGTF Capabilities Integrations Analysis and Operational Modeling (Continuation)
Abstract
The Strategic Shaping and Reconnaissance (SSR) concept is the Marine Corps' special operations contribution to the national defense requirements for both strategic competition and when required, conflict. This research, working in conjunction with ongoing NPS efforts examining Expeditionary Advance Base Operations (EABO), focuses on exploring, assessing and identify mechanisms that will allow United States Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) to better serve as abridge for capabilities integration with SOF and deployed MAGTFs to fully maximize the complementary capabilities of each formation. Specifically, this effort going NPS efforts examining Expeditionary Advance Base Operations (EABO), focuses on exploring, assessing and identify mechanisms that will allow United States Marine Forces Special examines MARSOC operating concepts with a focus on Strategic Shaping and Reconnaissance (SSR) and the tie-ins to the USMC Expeditionary Advanced Based Operations (EABO) concept for 21st Century warfighting in the contact, blunt, and surge layers of competition and conflict. This research examines SSR activities across the spectrum of cooperation, competition, and conflict to gain awareness of adversarial intentions and capabilities in order to deter, disrupt, deny or increase the adversary's risk.
