STOVL Air Power: The Ramps, Roads, and Speedbumps to Exploiting Maneuver Air

Abstract

The Navy-Marine Corps Team will never fully appreciate the incredible combat power offered by maneuver air warfare until it exploits the capabilities of and employment concepts for the next generation short-takeoff and vertical-landing (STOVL) aircraft. The 31st Commandant's Planning Guidance states that as the Marine Corps progresses into the 21st century, one goal is to achieve an all STOVL aviation component. In doing so, it will "[provide] effective support to the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) across the spectrum of conflict and enhance its expeditionary utility."
