Operation Noble Anvil, A Case Study in Expeditionary Aviation Logistics

Abstract

The Marine Aviation Logistics Support Program (MALSP) provides a capability to task-organize sustainable aviation maintenance assets tailored to support the Marine air forces deployed. It enables aviation logisticians to rapidly task organize, deploy, and sustain a Marine Expeditionary F%orce (MEF%) sized Aviation Combat Element (ACE) . Today, American military forces must be prepared to successfully conduct multiple smaller-scale contingencies worldwide.1 An analysis of the MALSP as applied in support of Operation Noble Anvil will determine that the program, as it exists today, must be further developed in order to meet the maintenance and upkeep demands of the Marine Air Ground Task F%orce ACE in support of 21st Century contingency operations.
