The ARG as Self-Contained Force Package: Reconfiguring the ARG to Provide Adequate Organic Self Protection Capabilities

Abstract

The Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) has insufficient force protection capabilites to successfully carry out its missions without excessive risk of catastrophic loss. Doctrinally the AREG is protected by external assets, which in reality are seldom available. Therefore, the ARG should be reconfigured to provide adequate organic force protection capabilites. Recommend augmenting the ARG with an AEGIS cruiser, 2 LAMPS ME III helicopters, and an SSN.
