Amphibious Capabilities Based Assessment
Abstract
The Amphibious Capabilities Based Assessment (CBA) will identify capability gaps, capacity shortfalls, and risks in the amphibious force in the 2030s and beyond in the context of the Navy's projected roles, missions, and tasks. It will evaluate and prioritize the spectrum of mission needs and required capabilities for the future amphibious ships to support operational concepts in a contested environment; namely Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO), Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE), and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). It will provide recommendations for potential non-materiel and materiel approaches to the gaps, including the need for modified or new amphibious ships to meet future needs and pace future threats. This analysis will ensure the Marines have the platforms, tactics, and equipment they need to operate effectively in the new USMC missions and operational profiles. This assessment will act as the analytic basis for the development of an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and inform a future Analysis of Alternatives (AoA).
