MAGTF's for NEF's: Revolutionary Adaptive Force Packaging or Getting by with Less

Abstract

As amphibious shipping transitions to a 36 ship fleet and the capability to forward deploy with a sustainable expeditionary force decreases, what concepts will best allow the CINC to retain the warfighting capability he has come to expect from naval forces? Concepts for Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) employment within the notional Naval, Expeditionary Force (NEF) are explored. Limitations of sustainability and mission accomplishment of present MAGTF configurations are addressed. Projections as to the viability of future expeditionary force packages are portrayed. Finally, recommendations as to future Navy-Marine Corps actions are summarized.
