Navy/Marine Corps TacAir Integration: Providing the MAGTF Increased Capability on a Budget

Abstract

The discussion of Naval/Marine Corps Tactical Aircraft (TacAir) Integration has reached a feverous pitch over the last several months. Emotions run high both for and against the concept. In an effort to achieve greater combat capability, while using the limited resources planned for by the Department of the Navy, it is the Navy/Marine Corps Team's collective goal to streamline its ability to support the Marine Air-to-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) without sacrificing efficiency. To that end, the Chief of Naval Operations and the Commandant of the Marine Corps have enthusiastically endorsed the concept. It is my intent to provide a point of departure as we investigate and discuss the advantages and disadvantages associated with the plan.
