A maritime prepositioning force (MPF) operation is the rapid deployment and assembly of a Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) in a secure area using intertheater airlift and forward-deployed maritime prepositioning ships. An MPF operation is a mission-tailored, strategic deployment option that is global in nature, naval in character, and suitable for various employment scenarios. Maritime prepositioning provides a combatant commander with deployment flexibility and an increased capability to respond rapidly to a crisis or contingency with a credible force. The essential purpose of an MPF operation is to establish a MAGTF that is fully prepared to execute an employment mission. Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-32/Navy Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (NTTP) 3-02.3M, *Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations*, provides doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures to plan and execute an MPF operation. It is intended for Marine Corps and Navy commanders, their staffs, and other Service commanders and staffs. This publication supersedes MCWP 3-32/NTTP 3-02.3M, Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations, dated February 2004.

## Glossary References Chapter 1 Fundamentals Of The Maritime Prepositioning Force

A maritime prepositioning force (MPF) operation includes the airlift of Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) and Navy elements, the Navy support element (NSE), and maritime expeditionary security force (MESF) units with selected equipment into an arrival and assembly area (AAA) to join with equipment and supplies that are carried aboard maritime prepositioning ships (MPSs). Maritime prepositioning provides a combatant commander (CCDR) with deployment flexibility and an increased capability to respond rapidly to a crisis or contingency with a credible force. An MPF operation may consist of one ship interacting with a forward-deployed Marine expeditionary unit (MEU) or a maritime prepositioning ships squadron (MPSRON) and a Marine expeditionary brigade (MEB) fly-in echelon (FIE). An MPF operation may also consist of a Marine expeditionary force (MEF) interacting with all three MPSRONs. The MPF is one component of the rapid response capability triad, which also includes the global response force and forward-deployed amphibious forces. Each triad component can be used separately or integrated to further enhance a CCDR's options. An MPF operation is an economy of force measure that allows deployment of an appropriate force if a crisis arises. The MPF
offers an augmentation capability for amphibious operations, but it is not a substitute due to an inherent lack of forcible entry capability. An MPF operation provides a method to rapidly augment a forward-deployed MAGTF; an ongoing amphibious operation; or another joint, multinational, or combined force operation.

## Maritime Prepositioning Force Concept

An MPF operation extends from marshalling through arrival and assembly of the MAGTF to reconstitution of the MPF. The geographic reach of the operation may vary, but the MPF is inherently a strategic or intertheater capability. The execution of an MPF operation involves the following entities:

 Supporting forces, such as the United States
Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), specifically, the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) or the Air Mobility Command (AMC).
 The host nation and supported/supporting
CCDR's organizations.
 Other deployment support agencies that the situation may demand.
While an MPF operation is conceptually simple, strategic dimensions, number of major commands involved as the force transits between theaters and CCDRs, and intricacies of the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) make the operation extremely complex. The overlap of phases and geographic separations places heavy demands on command elements. The scope of the operation may require activating Navy Reserve Component forces to conduct the offload and Marine Corps Reserve Component forces to conduct civil affairs and MAGTF operations. Conflicting demands of deployment and employment will dictate a dynamic planning process that must remain responsive to the current situation. Operational planning must begin and issued to arriving units, the MAGTF's command and control capabilities are established, and the MAGTF commander is ready to execute the mission.

with a risk/threat assessment to determine if an MPF operation is the appropriate force deployment option. Some planning factors are determined late in the decisionmaking process because of the remoteness of the deployment area and uncertainty of the situation. Subsequent operations will impact significantly on execution planning. Commanders must visualize their concept of operations (CONOPS) ashore to determine their arrival and assembly plans, which then determine their deployment plans.

The MAGTF commander will report mission readiness to the establishing authority upon termination of the arrival and assembly phase. Subsequent MAGTF operations ashore are separate from an MPF operation. After the MAGTF mission is completed, the MPF's focus shifts to the reconstitution of maritime prepositioning equipment and supplies (MPE/S) aboard the affected MPSRON.

## The Initiating Directive

If a separate initiating directive is not published, such as during crisis situations or if issued late in the planning process, naval commanders involved in MPF operations will have to act upon information given in alert, warning, or execution orders. From this information, an initiating directive may be formulated and recommended to the establishing authority for approval and promulgation. These orders often do not contain detailed information specific to the MPF.

## Forward Presence And Crisis Response

An MPF operation begins with the decision to employ the MPF MAGTF. Typically, a CCDR as directed by the President or Secretary of Defense (SecDef) and in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) and the subordinate component commandersinitiates an MPF operation and subsequent MAGTF operations. An initiating directive (see app. A for a sample format) provides essential information. It is issued by and at the discretion of the establishing authority, a common superior commander of the commander, maritime prepositioning force (CMPF), and MPF MAGTF commander.

The naval force structure is developed from the National Military Strategy (NMS). Two essential tenets of the NMS are forward presence and crisis response. Forward presence is the reinforcement of US forward-deployed forces and multinational partners, while crisis response is the projection of combat power across the range of military operations. Both are essential ingredients of the NMS.

The CMPF, MPF MAGTF commander, and the commander, Navy support element (CNSE) must quickly determine the requirements and work with higher headquarters (HHQ) to ensure sufficient information and guidance is provided for rapid and efficient execution. If an MPF operation augments an amphibious operation, then the MPF mission and appropriate command relationship guidance is included in the amphibious operation initiating directive.

Strategically based around the globe (see fig. 1-1), Navy forces (NAVFOR) can link-up with MPSRONs in an operational area in a matter of days. This capability demonstrates commitment, reinforces alliances, enhances regional stability, promotes US influence and access, and is especially responsive to regional crises or natural disasters. The MPF is designed to respond independently or with other forces to a variety of Planning is continuous, but the execution phase actually begins with the assignment of a specific mission. The arrival and assembly phase terminates when all prerequisites in the initiating directive are met and the MAGTF is established ashore. The MAGTF is established ashore when adequate equipment and supplies are offloaded considerations and decisions.

MAGTF supports an existing MARFOR or amphibious force.

regional crises. It provides a quick and credible response to deter an escalation in hostilities or engage decisively if deterrence fails.

The essential contribution of an MPF operation is mobility and flexibility, allowing a quick concentration of forces in a specific area. It permits rapid deployment into secure areas where force introduction is unopposed and is expected to remain so throughout the arrival and assembly phase. The MPF enables MAGTF employment by

 Augmenting an amphibious deployment or
operation.
 Occupying or augmenting an advanced base.
The two types of MPF operations are independent and augmentation. Independent operations are those in which the MPF MAGTF becomes part of a joint task force (JTF) that either involves no other Marine Corps forces (MARFOR) or supports allies that are part of the JTF. The key identifier is that the MPF MAGTF remains an independent entity that is not subsumed into another MARFOR, although the MPF MAGTF commander may also be designated as the MARFOR commander in the area of operations. See chapter 3 for more discussion on independent operations.

 Defending key chokepoints along the sea line
of communications (SLOC).
 Establishing a blocking position for offensive
and defensive operations.
 Reinforcing multinational partners with a credible force before hostilities.
 Sustaining relations with multinational partners
by conducting routine exercises and operations.
 Establishing a sizable force ashore to enable
closure of additional forces.
Augmentation forces, as defined in Joint Publication (JP) 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, are forces to be transferred from a supporting CCDR to the operational control (OPCON) or the combatant command (command authority) (COCOM) or of a supported CCDR during the execution of an operation order (OPORD) approved by the President and SecDef. Augmentation operations of the MPF are those during which the MPF
These networks may include railroads, barge traffic, and pipelines.

 Deterring potential adversaries by positioning
MPSs and alerting MARFOR and NAVFOR.
 Adequate force protection capabilities to meet
any potential threat in the AAA.
 Providing a rapid peacetime response in support of foreign humanitarian assistance and
civil support.

## National Military Strategy

 Providing economy of force through the reduction of intertheater airlift requirements and the reduction or elimination of the need to employ amphibious forces capable of forcible entry to
a contingency that does not require such force.
 Augmenting fleet defense by providing tactical
air support from ashore.

## Establishment Of The Maritime Prepositioning Force Magtf Ashore

The MPF plays a key role in the NMS by providing regional focus, force presence options, and an adaptive planning capability that allows it to tailor forces for a particular circumstance. Through regional focus, each MPSRON and the forces from the associated MEF can respond worldwide; however, they remain especially responsive to the theaters that are designated as possible major operations and campaigns, crisis response and limited contingency operations, or those supported by operation plans (OPLANs) or contingency plans.

The essential requirement for an MPF operation is a secure environment that allows for the arrival and offload of ships, aircraft, joining personnel, and materials. To establish the MPF MAGTF
ashore, the following conditions are required:

 A secure environment from the initiation of
strategic deployment through the completion of arrival and assembly.
 Adequate intertheater airlift and aerial tanker
support.
The purpose of this adaptive planning process is to provide leaders with a range of preplanned options to clearly demonstrate US resolve, deter potential adversaries, and deploy and employ forces to fight and win quickly and decisively. As a military component of these options, the MPF provides a CCDR with a wide range of capabilities to determine the size of the force for a particular mission.

 Adequate offload forces, such as MAGTF and
NSE.
 Sufficient airfield space for Marine Corps tactical aircraft, operational support airlift, AMC aircraft, and Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) operations and throughput capability to support the intended airflow.
Force presence options exist because the MPSRONs are forward deployed and serve as an ever-present reminder of US capability and resolve. When teamed with amphibious or other forward-deployed NAVFOR, the MPF can enhance a force presence with potent, complementary capabilities easily recognized by a potential adversary.

## Rapid Response

 An ample port/beach area for timely offload
and throughput. The port must have sufficient
water depth, overhead clearance, and maneuver room to admit MPSs. Beaches and ship-toshore (STS) approaches must be evaluated for hydrographic support and swept for mines and other hazards.
 A suitable transportation network between the
port/beach, airfields, and assembly areas to permit timely arrival and assembly of airlifted units with sealifted equipment and supplies.
The goal of an MPF operation is to establish a MAGTF ashore as rapidly as possible and for it to be fully operational within 10 days following

## Planning

the initial offload. Achieving this goal requires positioning the MPF in areas of concern so that the chief constraint on force deployment is airlift, not sealift closure.

## Flexible Command Relationships

The planning phase begins upon receipt of the alert/warning order and is characterized by two planning methodologies: deliberate planning and crisis action planning (CAP). See chapter 5 for planning information. Deliberate planning is ongoing, preparing for future, hypothetical military operations, while CAP is conducted to respond to present situations that might require a US military response.

## Marshalling

The establishing authority will promulgate command and supporting/supported relationships. Relationships should be as consistent as possible to ensure continuity and reduce potential confusion, but flexible enough to support all MPF
phases and respond to new requirements.

## Sustainment Of The Maritime Prepositioning Force

The marshalling phase (see chap. 6) begins with the arrival of the first unit at a designated marshalling point and ends with the departure of the last unit from a departure airfield. Units organize and complete final preparations to deploy, including preparing personnel and equipment, moving to an aerial port of embarkation (APOE), staging, and loading aboard aircraft.

## Movement

Sustainment of the MAGTF comes from a combination of prepositioned and airlifted materiel. An MPF MEB is a capable force of Marines, Navy, and naval support personnel that, using a full MPSRON, can be sustained for 30 days. The MAGTF may be sustained ashore for a longer or shorter duration depending on the

 Size of the force.  Number of MPSRONs supporting that force.
The movement phase (see chap. 6) entails moving forces by air and sea to the AAA. It begins upon lift off of the first aircraft from the departure airfield or when the first MPF ship transits to the AAA. This phase ends when the last FIE aircraft arrives in the AAA and the last ship arrives at the offload point.

 Inclusion of an aviation logistics support ship
(T-AVB).

## Arrival And Assembly

 Follow-up shipping.  Length of the SLOCs.  Host nation support (HNS).

## Phases Of Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations

The arrival and assembly phase (see chap. 7) begins with the arrival of the first MPF ship or first aircraft of the main body at the designated AAA. This phase ends when adequate MPE/S are offloaded and issued to awaiting units, command and control is established, and the MAGTF commander reports that all essential MAGTF elements of the MPF are combat ready. The arrival and assembly phase includes the following steps:

 Prepare the AAA.  Receive MAGTF, Navy, and Coast Guard personnel and equipment at nearby airfields.
The five phases of MPF operations are planning, marshalling, movement, arrival and assembly, and reconstitution (see fig. 1-2, on page 1-6). The phases are introduced in the following paragraphs and are amplified in chapters 5 through 8.

## Reconstitution

 Coordinate the arrival and offload of equipment and supplies from MPSs.
 Issue MPE/S to arriving units.
 Provide local force protection for arrival and
assembly.
 Establish the MAGTF's combat capability
(force standup).
During reconstitution, the MPSRON is methodically restored to its original strength or properties and to full mission capability. Reconstitution is conducted as rapidly as possible after the MAGTF completes its mission (see chap. 8). Reconstitution also includes regeneration and reorganization operations.

 Prepare the MAGTF mission; for example,
move the MAGTF to the tactical assembly area (TAA) or the line of departure.
Planning Movement Arrival and Assembly

deployment or operation.
 Provides general guidance/approval of rules of
engagement (ROE).
 Considers requests for mobilization and activation of Reserve Components after consulting with the joint staff and Service Chiefs.
 Directs support from other departments and
agencies.
 Provides an initial decision to deploy or
employ forces.
The Services are subject to the authority, direction, and control of the SecDef and the provisions of United States Code, Title 10, *Armed Forces*. The Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force, under their respective Secretaries, are responsible for the functions prescribed in detail in DOD Directive 5100.1, Functions of the Department of Defense and Its Major Components. Specific Service functions are also delineated in that directive. The following list provides common authorities for the Military Services:

## Chairman Of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff

 Administers, equips, trains, and supports forces
provided to the unified commands.
 Supports Service components.  Activates Reserves as directed by the President
or SecDef.
 Exercises administrative control (ADCON)
over forces through Service components.
As the principal military advisor to the President and SecDef, the CJCS provides comments and recommendations on military options and forces available, including MPF employment, as recommended by a CCDR. The CJCS

 Issues appropriate orders to CCDRs in accordance with the crisis action system/JOPES.

## Combatant Commanders

 Tasks and coordinates Services, subordinate
Department of Defense (DOD) agencies, and
appropriate unified commands, such as USTRANSCOM.
 Recommends
interdepartmental
linkages
between operational forces and support agencies.
 Coordinates and provides ROE advice to the
President or SecDef.
Combatant command of the MPF is exercised by geographic combatant commanders (GCCs). The OPCON is inherent in COCOM and may be transferred from one GCC to another only by SecDef order. It is normally delegated through the Navy component commander to the numbered fleet commander; authority may be further delegated to a subordinate task force

## Joint Force Commander

commander, including the Military Sealift Command's (MSC's) sealift logistic commands acting with numbered fleet task force designations. Tactical control (TACON) over MPF
ships is normally delegated to MPSRONs.

## Supported Combatant Commander

A supported CCDR is the commander in whose area of responsibility (AOR) the operation will take place. The supported CCDR

 Determines military options and force requirements.
 Executes the President- or SecDef-issued
orders.
 Coordinates and facilitates HNS.  Issues specific ROE within the AOR.  Coordinates overall security and protection of
assigned forces.
 Allocates resources.  Determines a general location for the MPF
operation.

## Supporting Combatant Commander

A supporting CCDR provides personnel, equipment, supplies, and services to a supported CCDR. The supporting CCDR
Joint force commander (JFC) is a general term applied to a CCDR, subunified commander, or JTF commander authorized to exercise COCOM or OPCON over a joint force. All JFCs are responsible for unified actions that are planned and conducted in accordance with the guidance and direction received from the President and SecDef, alliance or coalition leadership, and military commanders. The JFCs integrate and synchronize the actions of military forces and capabilities to achieve strategic and operational objectives through joint campaigns and operations. They also ensure that their joint operations are, as much as possible, integrated and synchronized in time, space, and purpose with the actions of appropriate other government agencies, allied/ coalition forces, intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and private sector entities, if necessary. Activities and operations involving such nonmilitary entities can be complex and may require considerable coordination by JFCs, their staffs, and subordinate commanders. This effort is essential to successfully integrate the instruments of national power and leverage the capabilities of all participants to achieve national strategic objectives.

 Provides employment options input to the supported CCDR.
 Provides forces/support as directed.  Passes HNS requirements of the MPF to a supported CCDR, if appropriate.
 Issues specific ROE within the assigned AOR.  Provides and coordinates force protection for
the MPF and supporting forces in the assigned AOR.
 Coordinates the allocation of resources with
the supported CCDR and the Commander,
United States Transportation Command (CDRUSTRANSCOM).
 Provides for exchange and support of liaison
linkages with the supported CCDR.
The JFCs also may support a civilian chief, such as an ambassador, or may themselves employ the resources of a civilian organization. For example, in some foreign humanitarian assistance operations, the United States Agency for International Development, through its Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance, may be designated as the federal agency with lead responsibility with the CCDR in a supporting role. Under such circumstances, commanders must establish procedures for coordination, liaison, and information and intelligence sharing. Further, it is important that all levels of command understand the formal and informal military-civilian relationships to avoid unnecessary and counterproductive friction. In such cases where the military does not exercise command over outside agencies, it is extremely important to establish good working relationships where mission accomplishment can be achieved through effective coordination.

## Commander, United States Fleet Forces Command

by operational considerations. The Commander, Military Sealift Command (COMSC) reports operationally to the CDRUSTRANSCOM and administratively to the COMUSFF. The MSC and all subordinate commands and activities are part of the operating forces of the Navy. With its headquarters located in the Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC, MSC provides missionready, permanently forward-deployed MPSRONs and afloat, active-duty staffs for operational tasking.

The Commander, United States Fleet Forces Command (COMUSFF) is responsible for the following functions and tasks:

 Support the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO)
in collaboration with the Commander, US Pacific Fleet by organizing, staffing, training,
maintaining, and equipping NAVFOR.
 Integrate and articulate Fleet warfighting,
readiness, and personnel capability requirements to the CNO.
 Serve as Navy Global Force Manager.  Prepare forces for employment by CCDRs.
The COMSC administratively manages all MSC
forces and, in that role, performs the duties similar to that of a type commander (TYCOM). He exercises ADCON over assigned ships for COMUSFF through its subordinate field activities at all times. The MSC's subordinate organization, Military Sealift Fleet Support Command, and its subordinate ship support units provide deployment, direct logistics, and administrative support to MPSRONs, such as personnel training, material readiness, doctrine, ship characteristics, and budget.

 Provide planning and operational support to
assigned/supported CCDRs.

## Commanders, Marine Corps Forces Joint Force Maritime Component Commander

The Commander, United States Marine Corps Forces Command (COMMARFORCOM) and Commander, United States Marine Corps Forces, Pacific (COMMARFORPAC) provide administrative support to train and deploy their MEFs. The COMMARFORCOM normally leads the initial reconstitution effort, which is typically outside the continental United States (OCONUS).

Joint maritime operations are performed with capabilities/forces in support of the JFC's operation or campaign objectives or in support of other components of the joint force. The JFC normally designates a joint force maritime component commander (JFMCC) to command and control joint maritime operations. As a functional component commander, the JFMCC has authority over assigned and attached forces and forces/assets made available for tasking to perform operational missions.

## Commander, Military Sealift Command Navy Expeditionary Combat Command

The MSC is the naval component of the USTRANSCOM. It provides administrative direction and support of MPSRONs through close coordination with civilian companies to satisfy any extraordinary requirements generated Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) is commanded by a Navy line rear admiral that The NECC provides forces in support of MPF operations through its subordinate organizations the First Naval Construction Division (1NCD), naval construction regiment (NCR), naval mobile construction battalions (NMCBs), and the naval expeditionary logistics support group.

reports to COMUSFF and is headquartered at Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, VA. In January 2006, the CNO established NECC to provide oversight of subordinate Navy expeditionary combat forces and to develop the capabilities required to address emerging missions in the rapidly evolving maritime security environment. The NECC is responsible for staffing, training, equipping, and organizing the Navy's expeditionary forces.

## Navy Expeditionary Medical Support Command

The Navy Expeditionary Medical Support Command (NEMSCOM) constructs and deploys expeditionary medical facilities (EMFs) worldwide. The NEMSCOM is responsible for preparing and fielding the prepositioned EMFs from its headquarters at the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Cheatham Annex in Williamsburg, VA.

## Operational Commanders

With the NECC, the Navy can better balance its force across the blue water (open ocean), green water (littoral), and brown water (riverine)
maritime environments, ensuring effective Navy expeditionary warfighting and closure of capability gaps in global maritime security operations (MSO). The NECC combines the Navy's expeditionary forces under one commander to provide JFC/JFMCC/joint force land component commander (JFLCC) capability across expeditionary operations. The NECC's capabilities include

 Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD).
Operational commanders include the MEF's commanding general and numbered fleet commanders.

 Theater security cooperation support.  MSO.  Riverine operations.

## Commanding General, Marine Expeditionary Force

 Combat engineering and construction.  Expeditionary training.
The responsibilities of the MEF's commanding general are as follows:

 Expeditionary logistics.  Expeditionary diving and salvage.
 Plan, execute, and support MAGTF operations.
 Expeditionary intelligence.  Maritime civil affairs.  Expeditionary medical services.  Combat photography/videography.
 Establish postures of units and elements for
MPF deployment. Readiness, preparation, and support of units and elements are the responsibility of the parent division, wing, Marine logistics group (MLG), or other major subordinate commands as the MEF commander may designate.
 Provide liaison with CDRUSTRANSCOM and
other supporting commanders.
 Determine and assign the appropriate MAGTF.
Based on operational requirements, NECC provides combat-ready forces of mission-specific units or multimission, integrated adaptive force packages (AFPs) to fulfill JFC/JFMCC/JFLCC demands. Navy force readiness and responsiveness increases to support evolving warfare missions in major operations, MSO, and maritime homeland security/maritime homeland defense.

 Shift OPCON over assigned forces to the
MAGTF upon receipt of a warning or alert order.
 Review the MAGTF commander's proposed
course of action (COA), commander's estimate, CONOPS, and employment and deployment plans.
 Direct and coordinate preliminary determination of quantities of basic prescribed loads and accompanying supplies and initiate preparations for release of war reserve material through the war reserve system (WRS).
 Activate the MAGTF deployment and distribution operations center (MDDOC).
 Coordinate Marine Corps base and Marine
Corps air station support to deploying MPF elements.
 Direct activation of the MMCCs and other
movement control organizations.

## Numbered Fleet Commanders

Numbered fleet commanders (2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th fleets) perform the following tasks at the direction of the JFC, Service or functional component commander, or other appropriate authority:

 Designate the CMPF.  Exercise OPCON over assigned NAVFOR.
 Coordinate force deployment and sustainment
provided to the MAGTF commander by external MEF commands and agencies. This coordination includes the airlift requirements of naval
elements supporting the MAGTF, such as NSE
or MESF. Sequencing naval support units must be phased into the AAA to support the force standup of the MAGTF. The MAGTF commander must decide the appropriate deployment window for these units. Normally, NSE and MESF units are part of the advance party.
 Identify additional support requirements to
higher authority.
 Task-organize NAVFOR.
 Provide liaison to external commands and
agencies.
 Request, coordinate, and direct support forces.
 Provide public affairs guidance.
 Provide force protection for NAVFOR and the
MPSRON.
 Evaluate existing plans to determine if they can
serve as a base point.
 Serve as the JFMCC for the JTF when directed.
 Identify units available for deployment tasking.

## Supporting Organizations

 Assist the MAGTF commander with the
review of applicable deployment database development guidance provided by HHQ.
There are a variety of organizations that support MPF operations. They include the following:

 Respond to direction from HHQ to plan task
organization and establish or revise the deployment database.
 Assist the MAGTF commander in analyzing
time-phased force and deployment data (TPFDD) plans for COA development.
 Participate in the COA development process of
a supported CCDR as directed.
 USTRANSCOM, which coordinates strategic
deployment of forces assigned to or in support of the unified commander. This coordination includes en route aerial refueling of MAGTF self-deploying aircraft and intertheater airlift.
 Direct/coordinate deployment database development to include TPFDD and prioritization of forces/sustainment.

Headquartered in Albany, GA, the Marine Corps Logistics Command (MARCORLOGCOM), has primary responsibility for the material readiness of maritime prepositioned material before its commitment to an MPF operation. This responsibility includes maintaining the contracts for and supporting the logistics of MPE/S aboard the MPSRON and providing a technical assistance and advisory team (TAAT) for transitional assistance to employing forces. The MARCORLOGCOM has delegated Blount Island Command (BICmd) as the executive agent for MPF maintenance operations.

## Chapter 3 Command Relationships

Some responsibilities of the establishing authority are to

 Issue the initiating directive.  Establish command relationships within the
MPF.
 Designate the time to start moving the
MPSRON and the FIE.
An MPF is a temporary organization set forth by an establishing authority. At a minimum, it consists of a MAGTF with assigned NAVFOR under the MAGTF command element, an MPSRON, and NAVFOR under the command of the CMPF.

Any MAGTF can employ the MPE/S in the MPSRON. Figure 3-1 represents a typical organization for independent operations.

 Approve arrival and assembly and reconstitution plans.
 Coordinate intelligence collection, processing,
and dissemination.
 Establish the force protection operations center (FPOC) and designate a force protection officer (FPO) to coordinate and integrate all force protection functions and activities.
The establishing authority may be a CCDR, an existing JTF commander, a subordinate unified commander, or a JFMCC. The establishing authority deploys and employs the MPF. As the establishing authority delegates its responsibility for the MPF operation and the MAGTF employment mission, it normally has OPCON over all assigned forces and the authority to exercise general direction of the supporting effort.

responsibilities may be delegated, retained, or subsumed by HHQ, depending on forces available.

 Approve terminating the MPF operation.  Coordinate force disposition instructions when
the MPF operation is complete.
An MPF MAGTF consists of four core elementscommand element, ground combat element (GCE), aviation combat element (ACE), and logistics combat element (LCE). The MPF MAGTF may also contain a naval construction element (NCE). The NCE is a task-organized Navy engineering force, also known as Navy construction engineers (SEABEEs), which reports to one commander and comprises a command element, a construction operations element, and a logistic element. Typically, an NMCB is used for MPF operations and conducts deliberate engineering support to the MAGTF, including major horizontal and vertical construction, facilities repair, water well drilling, and other general engineering support.

There are four command relationshipsCOCOM, OPCON, TACON, and support. The COCOM can only be exercised by CCDRs and cannot be delegated. The OPCON, which is inherent in COCOM, can be delegated, as can TACON and support. In MPF operations, the establishing authority may be delegated with OPCON or TACON over the MAGTF commander and CMPF by the CCDR. The establishing authority is responsible for establishing command relationships and the command and control structure for the MPF operation.

## Magtf Elements

The command element is the MAGTF headquarters, consisting of the MAGTF commander and staff. The command element provides command and control and coordination to effectively plan and execute operations by the other three MAGTF elements. The GCE is built around an infantry unit and it includes combat support units, such as artillery and armor. The ACE is task-organized to provide all or part of the functions of Marine Corps aviation based on the MAGTF's mission and size. The expeditionary airfield (EAF) is controlled by the ACE. The EAF's primary function is to provide a tactical airfield for Marine Corps aircraft. Secondary missions are to increase the sortie generation rate for carrier naval aviation and provide a terminal for strategic and intratheater airlift sustainment. The LCE is task-organized to provide the full range of combat service support (CSS).

## Naval Construction Element

The command relationship established between the MAGTF commander and the CMPF is a key decision. It should provide for unity of effort, simplicity, and flexibility across the MPF operation phases. It should be clearly defined and based upon the establishing authority's assessment of mission requirements. While the establishing authority normally has OPCON or TACON over subordinate forces, the relationship between the CMPF and MAGTF commander is normally supported/supporting. It reflects the same relationship between the commander, amphibious task force and the commander, landing force described in JP 3-02, Amphibious Operations. Where possible, the MAGTF and CMPF should work closely with the establishing authority to ensure the initiating directive reflects the MAGTF/CMPF command relationships best suited for all phases of the operation. The establishing authority is responsible for ensuring that both the supported and supporting commanders understand the degree of authority the supported commander is granted as directed in JP 1, Doctrine for the Armed Forces of the United States.

The NCE provides a standardized and interoperable construction capability using various anchorages for suitability, battle damage, and obstructions before arrival and assembly operations. The UCT gear is not contained on MPSs and nonorganic transportation is required. Some UCT tools include

An NCR is an operational unit exercising command and control over multiple subordinate engineer units or other expeditionary units. It also performs construction program management, coordinates CAP, and validates and allocates resources to subordinate units on behalf of the 1NCD.

## Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Magtf Commander

The MAGTF commander has OPCON over MARFOR and OPCON or TACON over attached NAVFOR. Responsibilities of the MAGTF commander are to

 Prepare an arrival and assembly plan in coordination with the CMPF.
 Prepare an arrival assembly plan in coordination with the CMPF and establish the arrival and assembly operations group (AAOG).
An NMCB is the primary operational naval construction division (NCD) unit for conducting construction and engineer operations. It provides command and control, a full range of contingency engineering capabilities, and limited combat engineering capabilities for a supported unit. These combat engineering capabilities include battle damage repair; construction and maintenance of advanced base facilities; power generation and distribution; vertical and horizontal construction; and water well drilling, distribution, and storage. An NMCB may also serve as the forward echelon for a larger NCR deployment.

 Coordinate with the CMPF on the time-phased
arrival of MPF elements and control measures within the AAA.

## Commander, Maritime Prepositioning Force Commander, Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadron

The CMPF is identified in the initiating directive and has OPCON over all MSC and NAVFOR
assigned to the MPF, except those NAVFOR
attached to the MAGTF. The CMPF and staff originate from a standing Navy organization complete with command and control capabilities, such as naval beach groups (NBGs) or amphibious squadrons. Responsibilities of the CMPF include
An MPSRON consists of a group of civilianowned and civilian-crewed ships chartered by the MSC and loaded with prepositioned equipment and up to 30 days of supplies to support a MAGTF. The commander, maritime prepositioning ships squadron (COMPSRON) is the principal advisor to the CMPF. Responsibilities of the COMPSRON are to

 Coordinate the establishment of an EMF with
the EMF program manager (PM) if the MPF mission so requires.
 Provide technical assistance for operations
involving the MPSRON.
 Coordinate airlift of NSEs with the MAGTF
commander.

during an operation. The MSRONs are multi- Service (Navy/Coast Guard), hardware-equipped, deployable assets that provide centralized planning, control, coordination, and integration of MESF assets for protection of strategic shipping and naval ships worldwide.

The CNSE commands elements of the NBG, naval cargo-handling battalion (NCHB), and others as assigned. The CNSE and associated staff originate from the NBG complete with organic command and control capabilities. Responsibilities of the CNSE are to

 Participate in the planning and conduct of the
offload with the MAGTF commander and COMPSRON.
 Coordinate activities between the landing
force support party (LFSP) and the beach party team (BPT).
A maritime expeditionary security group (MESG) consists of a headquarters staff and subordinate MSRON. The MESG headquarters staff is able to deploy as a battlestaff when required. The MESG has a multi-Service (Navy/Coast Guard) staff that provides operational planning, training, and administrative support for subordinate commands. It has the overall responsibility to ensure that MESF forces are trained, organized, and prepared to meet MESF mission requirements worldwide.

 Exercise OPCON over Marine OPPs and
debarkation teams provided by the MAGTF.
 Recommend Navy Reserve Component augmentation requirements to the numbered fleet commander/JFMCC through the CMPF.

## Commander, Maritime Expeditionary Security Force

The MSRON is normally the largest MESF unit to deploy and may operate independently or in support of other security forces. Two or more MSRONs may combine under a single commander if mission scope requires. Each MSRON consists of a headquarters staff; command and control division; boat division; security division; and a helicopters, visit, board, search and seizure detachment. The divisions can break down into smaller detachments or elements, which make up the AFP, tailored for a specific MPF, assault follow-on echelon (AFOE), or logistics over-theshore (LOTS) mission. This construct augments and relieves the NSE of most of its defensive roles, permitting it to focus on its primary mission.

## Commanding Officer, Expeditionary Medical Facility

The MESF is responsible for protecting and defending the green water operating area for NECC in support of amphibious, seabasing, and MPF operations. Its units are adaptive to mission requirements, scalable, and agile. The MESF's primary mission is force protection. Its units conduct force protection of strategic shipping and naval ships operating in the inshore and coastal areas, anchorages and harbors, from bare beach to sophisticated port facilities.  Specialized units work with maritime expeditionary security squadron (MSRON) staffs to provide intelligence and communications. The MESF units deploy worldwide to detect, deter, and defend an area, unit, or high-value asset (HVA). The MSRON is a subordinate command of NECC. It is under the OPCON of the numbered fleets and control is transferred to the JFMCC
The EMF aboard the MPF is a Navy asset. If offloaded and established in the area of operations, the EMF commanding officer will report to that theater's Navy component commander (NCC). It provides in theater hospitalization for ground forces through a highly mobile modular platform that is rapidly expandable to a 273-bed medical facility.

arrival and assembly plan, and the deployment letter of instruction (LOI). (See app. B for a sample OPORD format and app. C for a sample arrival and assembly format, which is prepared by the MAGTF with the CMPF.)
In a broad sense, the CMPF supports the MAGTF. Supporting relationships typically vary by phase of the operation according to the initiating directive, in which the establishing authority must clarify the requirements for the supported and supporting mission and the parameters for transitioning this command relationship. If possible, the CMPF and MAGTF should work with the establishing authority to ensure CMPF/MAGTF
relationships reflect those that best support each phase of the MPF operation. The initiating directive also includes the following:

 MAGTF commander and the CMPF coordinate
departure of the survey, liaison, and reconnaissance party (SLRP) and the OPP.
 Forces and other resources allocated to the supporting effort.

## Marshalling Phase

 Time, place, level, and duration of the supporting effort.
 Relative priority of the supporting effort.
During the marshalling phase, commanders report to the establishing authority in the following ways:

 Authority, if any, of the supporting commander
to modify the supporting effort in an exceptional opportunity or an emergency.
 The degree of authority granted to the supported commander over the supporting effort.
 CMPF and the MAGTF commander are
change of operational control (CHOP) or TACON to the establishing authority.
 COMPSRON, CNSE, and the MESF and EMF
commanders are CHOP to the CMPF.
Likely MPF command relationships, responsibilities, and actions by phase are discussed in the following subparagraphs.

## Planning Phase

 CMPF coordinates marshalling of the NSE, the
MESF unit, and other naval elements that may be attached to the MAGTF.
 CNSE assigns personnel to the SLRP and OPP
and coordinates with the MAGTF commander for marshalling and movement.
The MAGTF commander and the CMPF report to the establishing authority for planning in the following manner:

 MAGTF commander is OPCON to the MAR-
FOR.
 CMPF is OPCON to the NAVFOR/JFMCC.  NCE is OPCON to the MAGTF commander.
 MAGTF commander has OPCON over all
assigned MAGTF elements and assembles the SLRP and OPP for movement. The MAGTF commander coordinates, assembles, and supports airlift of the MPF FIE with AMC and the contingency response group (CRG) through the supporting MDDOC departure airfield control group (DACG) at the APOE.

All MPF-related command relationships depend on whom the CJCS tasks to execute the reconstitution and where it takes place. Reconstitution may occur in the AOR, outside the AOR, or at an interim maintenance site. The command and control structure in reconstitution is unique because of the participation of personnel in the AOR from the operation and Navy and Marine Corps supporting establishments from CONUS. Key participants during reconstitution in the AOR will normally be

Maritime prepositioned stores are maintained by contract maintenance teams (CMTs) aboard the MPSRON. All MPSs have dehumidified, temperature-controlled storage and built-in maintenance shops and spaces. During ship recertification for inspection, MPE/S are offloaded for testing, maintenance, modification, and rotation.

## Responsibilities Of Headquarters, Marine Corps

 Administer the maintenance contract for Navy
(based on inter-Service support agreements
[ISSAs]) and Marine Corps equipment aboard
MPSs. Civilian personnel, provided by the Marine Corps maintenance contractor (MCMC), comprise the CMT. Control of the CMT is exercised through the contracting officer's representative (COR), who works directly for COMMARCORLOGCOM. Each MPSRON has a COR embarked.
 Account for all prepositioned MPE/S and
maintain custodial responsibility for all other embarked assets to include aviation ground support equipment (AGSE) and ISSA NSE equipment.
In coordination with the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV), Headquarters, Marine Corps (HQMC) exercises overall supervision of MPE/S readiness. The Commandant of the Marine Corps exercises these responsibilities through the Commander, Marine Corps Logistics Command (COMMARCORLOGCOM) (BICmd) and operating forces commanders. Specific HQMC responsibilities are to

 Coordinate the replacement of unserviceable
assets, stock rotation, addition of new items, or deletion of assets.
 Establish policies for administration, control,
and use of MPE/S.
 Provide quality assurance teams for contract
compliance.
 Establish and maintain MPE/S equipment lists

resolve problems that require decisions at the Service or DOD level.
 Establish and conduct periodic inspections of
embarked assets.
 Assign designated equipment and personnel to
support offload and onload during all scheduled maintenance, exercises, and ship recertification cycles. Applicable force commanders determine the specific requirements.

## Responsibilities Of The Commander, Marine Corps Logistics Command

The COMMARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) has primary responsibility for the material readiness of MPE/S before an exercise or contingency

 Ensure applicable force commanders have
ready access to the status of assets, readiness reports are accurate and timely, and supply and maintenance files are updated quarterly as equipment/maritime prepositioning force maintenance cycles (MMCs) occur.

## Shipboard Maintenance

When maintenance is required beyond the capabilities of CMTs, MARCORLOGCOM will decide on the disposition of the item. Other tasks assigned to CMTs include

 Inventory and surveillance of equipment and
supplies.
 Modification of equipment.  Preventive maintenance.  Exercise of equipment within space limitations.
 Maintenance of technical libraries.
 Maintenance of the applicable supply and
maintenance data systems.
The MARCORLOGCOM is responsible for contract administration and coordination of shipboard maintenance activities.

The MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) has overall responsibility for quality control and quality assurance. Quality assurance is the inspection and monitoring of the contractor's efforts by MAR- CORLOGCOM (BICmd). The quality control program is conducted aboard ship. It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure efforts meet established standards.

 Maintenance of applicable equipment manual
record.
 Conducting the joint limited technical inspections (JLTIs) before accepting the equipment back aboard the MPSs.
All CMTs have maintenance and supply skills in commodity areas for maintenance of ground equipment. With shipboard maintenance shops and spaces, complete tool kit test sets, and spare parts, CMTs can perform fourth echelon maintenance on most equipment.

## Responsibilities Of The Commander, Marine Corps Forces

The commander, Marine Corps forces (COMMARFOR) monitors material readiness of MPE/S through reports received from COM- MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) and through access to supply and maintenance files. Other responsibilities of the COMMARFOR are to

 Ensure
that
COMMARCORLOGCOM
(BICmd) and HQMC are included in all plans that affect MPE/S.

Note: Fourth echelon maintenance can in-
clude diagnosing, isolating, adjusting, cali-
brating, aligning, and repairing

detachment responsible for MPE/S in the objective area. The MPE/S are not tactically marked. Embarked materiel is marked only for location, marshalling, and embarkation for reconstitution. Marking codes are established by and coordinated between MARFOR commanders.

 Return MPE/S to full mission-capable condition or provide funds to restore equipment to full mission-capable condition after training exercises or contingency operations.
 Provide readiness acceptance check (RAC)
teams to periodically inspect MPE/S.
 Provide personnel and equipment to debark/
embark MPE/S during periodic maintenance periods and RAC teams to assess equipment
reloaded. The COMMARFOR may provide
augmentation for MARCORLOGCOM maintenance personnel on a "by exception" basis.

## Embarkation

To adjust equipment issue to the requirements of the objective area, such as cold weather or desert, and to variations in the deploying force list, MEFs maintain baseline issue lists predicated on the notional organization of an MPF MEB. These lists serve as a starting point for modification during execution and are passed to the MAGTF
commander on appointment. They also identify equipment shortfalls and reapportion materiel when a ship within the MPSRON is off station. Additional equipment requirements must be transported in the FIE or separately with a follow-on force. The MEFs must ensure that all equipment and some containers are assigned to specific battalions and squadrons in the Marine air-ground task force Deployment Support System II (MDSS II) or the current automated information system (AIS), which is discussed in greater detail in chapter 14. The FIE should equal the table of equipment minus the embarked equipment list. The MDSS II was adopted to be used as the standard issue control system.

The MPSRON is loaded to facilitate timely offload, support some variation in troop lists, and provide an operational capability even when one ship is off station. Load reconfiguration during forward deployment is not feasible, so ships must be loaded at the outset for maximum operational flexibility within design limitations. The ship's master must approve load plans before embarkation. The commander responsible for embarkation provides the ship's master with the weights of vehicles, equipment, containers, fuel, and water being embarked and the calculations for trim, stress, and stability (TSS) using the format provided in the TSS pamphlets for each ship.

Ship TSS must be considered during offload.

## Maritime Prepositioning Equipment And Supplies Property Control Procedures

The MDSS II is the unit-level (battalion/squadron/separate company) deployment planning and execution system that provides a single source automated deployment database. For MPF, MDSS II is the main database that captures and stores all MPE/S that are loaded on each ship. The BICmd is responsible for ensuring that the data in MDSS II accounts for all MPE/S at the nested cargo (content) level detail of all items loaded. The MDSS II provides the information and functionality to do the following:
The key to rapid issue of unit equipment is a flexible, automated issue control system. Lists of equipment are prepared for each unit and

 Assigns level VI and nested cargo level of

a unit during its arrival and assembly operations to the Asset Tracking Logistics and Supply System (ATLASS).
 Provides advance movement data to Worldwide Port System (WPS) and consolidated
aerial port system.
 Receives reference data updates from the
Marine air-ground task force data library (MDL).

## Unit Readiness

Unit readiness encompasses those peacetime postures and preparations adopted for timely employment of forces. They include the assignment, rotation, and modification of unit deployment postures; development of appropriate standing operating procedures (SOPs); and conduct of individual/unit training exercises to prepare forces for short notice expeditionary service. Standing operating procedures should be written at the group and regimental (O-6) level to the Service component level (O-9/10). For detailed infor-mation on unit embarkation readiness see Marine Corps Reference Publications (MCRP) 4-11.3G, Unit Embarkation Handbook, and NTTP 4-01.5, Strategic Mobility and Unit Movement Operations.

## Deployment Postures

The various deployment postures are defined by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). The Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan levies requirements on specified commanders for short notice deployment of certain force levels and contains planning estimates of time needed to marshall MAGTFs for sea or air movement. The deployment guidelines apply to general military capabilities and not any specific force or contingency until execution planning begins.

## Normal Deployment Posture

A unit conducts normal activities while commanders monitor the situation and review plans. No visible overt action is taken to increase a deployment posture. Units not at a home station report their scheduled closure time, the time required to return to the home station if ordered to do so before a scheduled time, and their desired mode of transportation.

## Increased Deployment Posture

route or available to meet projected ship loading schedules. Sufficient lift is positioned and loaded at the POE to move the first increment or to initiate and sustain a flow as required by the plan or directive considered for execution.

A unit is relieved from commitments that do not pertain to the mission and personnel are recalled from training areas, liberty, and leave as required to meet the deployment schedule. Preparation for deployment of equipment and supplies is initiated, predeployment personnel actions completed, and essential equipment and supplies located in CONUS or OCONUS installations are identified.

## Advanced Deployment Posture

All essential personnel, mobility equipment, and accompanying supplies are checked, packed, rigged for deployment, and positioned with the unit at its home station. Commander, USTRANSCOM
confirms movement requirements; identifies airlift, sealift, and intra- CONUS transportation resources; and completes initial movement plans are completed by .

Planning for the actual event at all levels takes time. The executing force should receive alerts and warning orders on when to start preparations for deployment and employment as soon as possible. Circumstances in a developing situation may impede the early issue of warning orders. The actual time available for planning and preparation may be greatly condensed. Regardless of how much time is available, planning must be continuous, concurrent, and eventually directed toward the particular circumstances associated with the actual scenario. The level of unit readiness and deployment posture of the executing force will influence the time required for planning and preparation.

## Marshalled Deployment Posture Standing Operating Procedures

Numerous MPF operation aspects are expedited by promulgating SOPs. Many are also necessary for other requirements, such as embarkation or air movement. Unit readiness SOPs should identify the following:

 Responsibilities and procedures before and
after receipt of an alert order.
 Actions and responsibilities for the unit, including attachments, elements, and individuals.
The first increment of deploying personnel, mobility equipment, and accompanying supplies are marshalled at designated APOEs, but not loaded. Sufficient aircraft/sealift assets are positioned at or en route to the APOE/seaport of embarkation (SPOE) to load the first increment or to sustain a flow as required by the plan or directive considered for execution. Also positioned are adequate CRG, stage crews, and support personnel to sustain the airlift/sealift flow at onload or en route locations.

changes in deployment postures.
 Unit responsibilities for the assurance of operations security (OPSEC).

## On Receipt Of An Alert Order

At the initial receipt of an alert order, the unit executes an SOP recall to assemble the commander and staff to make an initial assessment of what is known about the developing requirements, identify any additional information required, and determine what must be done to prepare and how much time is available. Based on this assessment, the commander provides guidance to the staff and subordinate commanders regarding the division of work, priority of effort, and OPSEC.

## Assembling, Preparing, And Inspecting Deploying Personnel

During assembly, preparation, and inspection of deploying personnel, the following actions occur:

 Assembly and initial briefs for deploying personnel.
 Administration of area-orientated inoculations.  Checking individual readiness for deployment,
including family support, power of attorney, will, or identification tags/card.
 Disposition of personal vehicles and possessions.
 Preparation of individual equipment and seabags.
 Issuance of individual and team weapons and
equipment.
 Disposition of nondeployable personnel and
equipment.

## Preparing And Inspecting Equipment And Vehicles

Equipment and vehicles to deploy are brought to full mission capability and prepared for the objective area and transit. Unit equipment and supplies are palletized and vehicles are prepared for air shipment. Organizational RBE and garrison property is inventoried and disposed of as noted in the SOP and the necessary maps, cryptographic software, and consumable supplies are acquired.

## Exercises And Training

Efficient execution of MPF operations requires exercise and training with the associated procedures. It is seldom possible, because of fiscal and airlift constraints, to exercise the entire process at one time; however, the process can be taught and exercised incrementally to develop the requisite individual and unit skills as discussed in the following sections.

## Individual Training

 Port/beach operation exercises for landing support companies with associated NSE personnel. While actual ship offload training is
preferred, considerable training can be done without it.
 DACG and AACG exercises for landing support companies' supporting establishment personnel associated with unit air movement exercises.
Organizations, such as the Expeditionary Warfare Training Groups and other unit schools, offer FDP&E courses for officers and staff noncommissioned officers (SNCOs). Other training includes

 Embarkation and use of T-AVBs for aviation
maintenance afloat.
 Air movement load planning.
 Depreservation training.

## Readiness Reporting

 Flight ferry planning for fixed-wing, selfdeploying aircraft.

## Unit Training

Unit training can include

 FDP&E courses and programmed texts.
Units assigned to MPF duty will report unit readiness in accordance with the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS) procedures. Equipment readiness is based on the unit's table of equipment and will not consider MPE/S.

 Arrival airfield control group (AACG) and
DACG operations.
 Disassembly and assembly of rotary-wing aircraft to be airlifted to the objective areas.
 Preparing RBE for turnover to parent organizations.
 Preparing unit equipment and supplies for air
movement.
 Affiliation program training for AMC.  NSE basic and intermediate training.
The MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) consolidates equipment readiness information from each MPSRON CMT and provides reports to the MAR- FOR. The MARFOR or designated subordinate commanders report DRRS data as directed. The MPE/S are additive equipment and supplies and do not count as allowance items or prepositioned war reserve. When the MPF MAGTF deploys with their FIE, the RBE may be used to round out the Reserve Component table of equipment.

 MESF training.

## Exercises Force Requirements

Some examples of unit exercises include

 MPF deployment planning exercises.  Short notice alert, preparation, and marshalling exercises for alert units, such as the air
contingency MAGTF.
 SLRP/OPP deployment training.  Offload and MPE/S issue/recovery exercises
for LCEs and other MSEs.
Closure of the MPSRON to the arrival port/beach is crucial to the deployment schedule of the advance party and main body. The main body should arrive after the port/beach arrival of the MPSRON. Otherwise, time and consumable supplies are wasted, the deploying force becomes a burden on the host nation/supported command, and sustaining support requirements interfere with throughput efforts. Specific force requirements

and NSE units.
 Day-to-day airlift capacity depends on many
factors that change from operation to operation. Unit readiness to deploy must be flexible to

cannot be accurately defined until execution planning for the deployment starts. While this process complicates establishing responsive deployment standards, commanders should consider several consistent factors:

 The SLRP and OPP should deploy as soon as
the international situation, national decisionmaking process, and OPSEC requirements permit.
The length of time necessary to deploy the MPF will vary. An inability to deploy the OPP to the MPSRON or the SLRP in advance of MPS closure may extend arrival and assembly time. In-stream offload of ships across a beach will take longer than at pierside. While goals and estimates are established, the actual closure time is situational.

 The MAGTF command element, LCE, and
NSE deploy first to establish command and
control and CSS capabilities in the objective
area to prepare for deployment of combat
forces.

many planning and execution actions involved across the continuum of an MPF operation. (See apps. D through M for checklists to assist the commander and his staff in planning and preparing MPF operations.)
Planning for the MPF is unique in that an MPF operation depends on extensive support from the AMC of USTRANSCOM. Deployment planning requires the use of JOPES, which also supports contingency and CAP. Planning references include the following publications:

## Concurrent And Continuous Planning

The CMPF provides TPFDD for the Navy FIE to the appropriate fleet commander. The MAGTF commander integrates the CMPF TPFDD with the MAGTF TPFDD to ensure coordinated arrival and assembly operations. Notional delivery timelines determine notional TPFDD. Notional destinations are included pending execution planning. Execution planning completes the process through updates of the notional TPFDD using standard JOPES procedures. The updated TPFDD is a means to register the MPF overland, airlift (to include FIE), and follow-up shipping requirements with CDRUS- TRANSCOM. The updated TPFDD also provide the MPF's task organization to military commanders at all levels.

While the thrust of MPF JOPES-related planning concerns deployment, planners must understand that quality deployment plans are the result of detailed MAGTF employment, arrival and assembly, reconstitution, redeployment, and logistic plans. All MPF commanders must plan for the five phases of MPF operations concurrently. Figure 5-1, on page 5-2, illustrates the Planning requires the participation of the primary MPF subordinate commanders. Based on the MAGTF commander's requirement for establishing operational capabilities in the objective area, various element commanders recommend TPFDD updates during deliberate planning and CAP. Build up of CSS, including NSE, and command

## Assessment Of Prospective Arrival And Assembly Areas

and control must precede the introduction of combat elements to conduct the offload. The MPE/S should be issued before the MAGTF prepares for subsequent operations ashore.

With Service commanders providing forces, CCDRs should develop information on the following for prospective AAAs:

 Port, beach, and airfield facilities.  Availability of hardstand and warehousing for
assembly, staging, and storage areas.
 Water, power, and local communications.  Prospective HNS.
A deployment plan is developed as a flexible, easily modified plan that introduces the MPF into the AAA. The completed plan is incorporated into an OPORD during execution planning. Execution planning features reverse planning based on how the MAGTF will be employed. A specific mission and the force required to achieve objectives may require modifications to the TPFDD. Those modifications and the available port, beach, and airfield facilities in the AAA influence the deployment and arrival and assembly plans.

This long-term collection effort has continuous file maintenance requirements.

## Basic Decisions

Once a CONPLAN is prepared and approved, it is the basis for developing real-world execution plans as the situation is assessed. Intelligence planning and collection efforts focus on priority intelligence requirements (PIRs) to verify or refute assumptions. Major changes in a situation require review of the mission and re-examination of the commander's concepts of organization, employment, and deployment. As appropriate, the plan is revised or dismissed and a new planning sequence is initiated.

## Execution Planning

A supported CCDR or designated representative will make, promulgate, and refine basic decisions to begin the planning process (see table 5-1).

Other basic decisions with respect to the mission, operational concepts, and other considerations are also made and refined. Operational considerations, such as force protection in the area of operations, throughput constraints at the arrival airfield or port/beach area, and possible strategic lift shortfalls, may require refinement and modification of basic decisions. Ultimate responsibility and authority to modify basic decisions rests with the supported CCDR or establishing authority.

## Mission

When initiating an MPF operation, the establishing authority determines the MAGTF and EMF missions. The mission ashore is the basis for all Execution planning prepares for the commitment of forces. At the national and combatant command levels, this includes CAP procedures established in JOPES. At theater and task force levels, it includes preparing for deployment and initial employment. Execution planning provides the transition from peacetime posture to the conduct of military operations. Time available for execution planning is generally very compressed and may require abbreviated steps and procedures throughout the planning process. Availability of current CONPLANs and unit SOPs is essential.

## Concept Of Arrival And Assembly Operations

further planning of the MPF operation. The MPF mission focuses on the expeditious deployment and assembly of forces to meet the requirements of the MAGTF commander and EMF commander. The initiating directive usually delineates the following:

 General area of operations.  Required tasks of the MAGTF.  General time period for the deployment.  Time constraints on deployment operations,
such as the availability of aircraft.
 Required time to achieve operational capability.
 Estimated duration of tactical operations.

## Command Relationships

This concept consists of the basic sequence for arrival and assembly, selecting offload sites, procedures for command and control, and a proposal for the offload of supplies and equipment, including bulk liquids. Developing this concept is dictated by the mission, geography, topography, available facilities, and the concept of MAGTF operations ashore. The MAGTF commander develops the arrival and assembly plan in coordination with the CMPF and submits it to the establishing authority for approval. The AAA is established in the initiating directive and must be supportable by CMPF and CDRUS- TRANSCOM. Components of the AAA include the offload location, arrival airfield, MAGTF element unit assembly areas, and anchorages.

## Offload Location

Command relationships should be established that minimize disruption of command and control of MPF operations during the transition from planning to the deployment and execution phases. Supported and supporting CCDRs normally include command relationships in their operations directives.

The CMPF coordinates with the MAGTF commander to determine the beaches and ports for offload. Primary consideration of the CMPF in selecting beaches and ports will be the MAGTF commander's CONOPS ashore.

## Concept Of Magtf Operations Ashore Arrival Airfield

The establishing authority, based on the recommendation of the MAGTF commander, selects the arrival airfield. This choice is approved by USTRANSCOM based on supportability. The arrival airfield must be identified when selecting ports and beaches.

Derived from the MAGTF mission, the concept of MAGTF operations ashore determines the conduct of the MPF operation. When the MAGTF commander receives a mission, he coordinates with the CMPF to conduct a mission analysis or problem framing and establish a basic CONOPS. The concept of MAGTF operations ashore provides the following:

 Objectives.

## Magtf Element Unit Assembly Areas

 The scheme of maneuver ashore.  The general fire support plan.  The concept for logistic support.  The concept for aviation operations.  Warfighting priorities.
Identified by the MAGTF commander, UAAs support the rapid assembly of forces. At this point in the process, MAGTF elements receive and prepare their designated MPE/S for the employment mission.

 The force list and preferred arrival sequence.

## Anchorages

Anchorages are assigned for every MPS. For each of these assignments, explosive safety quantity distance (ESQD) arcs, anchorage depth, bottom type (sandy or rocky), currents, and distance to shore must be considered.

## Concept Of Deployment

Special considerations and control measures also include establishing responsibilities for emergency defense of the MPF during movement and within the AAA and ROE. Both are ultimately the responsibility of the CCDRin coordination with the joint/host nation teamwho is responsible for the area of operations. Security measures range from establishing various security or exclusion zones under international lawas in the case of an independent MPF operationto a more traditional area of operations for an augmentation operation. These measures result in clearly defined mission responsibilities for the following:
After the basic plans for operations and arrival and assembly are formulated, a deployment plan is developed. This plan includes the following information:

 Air space control.
 Marshalling concept.
 Area air defense.
 Overland movement concept.
 Ground security.
 Air movement.
 Sea security areas.
 Sea movement.
 Fire support coordination.
 Flight ferry.  SLRP and OPP considerations.

## Force Protection Special Considerations And Control Measures

Force protection impacts employment, CONOPS, planning, movement of forces, and all activities in the AAA. Force protection responsibilities vary according to the phases of an operation. They are passed down from the establishing authority to the MPF MAGTF/CMPF as applicable and are often shared by the host nation in the AAA (see chapter 10 for detailed information). Initial planning considerations to protect the force include

 Ships en route and in the AAA area.  En route support bases/facilities.  Arrival airfields.  MAGTF UAAs.  Port and beach facilities.
Special considerations and control measures are required for expeditious arrival and assembly of deploying forces: assigning areas of operations ashore and designating coordinating authorities, main supply routes (MSRs), or intermediate staging areas. The MAGTF commander normally determines these measures once basic decisions have been made to establish the AAA. The AAA
must be approved by the establishing authority with the host nation. It is administrative in nature and does not denote command of a geographic land area, although it may be inside an area of operations or a joint operations area. Within the AAA, the MAGTF commander has the following responsibilities:

## Crisis Action And Deliberate Planning

 Prioritization and use of airfields, port and
beach facilities, and transportation networks.
 Air traffic control (ATC).  Logistic/host nation activities.
Detailed responsibilities and actions included in the CAP process are provided in CJCSM 3122.01.

The following excerpt from enclosure E of that document provides some of those details:
described in this chapter present a logical sequence of events beginning with the recognition of a crisis through situational awareness and progressing through the various planning levels of the employment of US military forces. Figures 5-2 and 5-3 depict the activities, functions, products, and actions that take place within CAP.

## Situational Awareness

Crisis is defined, within the context of joint operation planning and execution, as an incident or situation involving a threat to the United States, its territories, citizens, military forces, and possessions or vital interests that develops rapidly and creates a condition of such diplomatic, economic, political, or military importance that commitment of US military forces and resources is contemplated to achieve national objectives.

Operational activities and functions in CAP are the same as in deliberate planning. Procedures Situational awareness is the result when an event with possible national security implications occurs and is recognized, reported, and assessed to determine whether military action may be required. This component of CAP has three partssituation development, crisis assessment, and iterative action.

## Situation Development

Situation development is characterized by three distinct levels that occur as a situation changes situation monitoring, event occurrence, and initial report.

 *Situation Monitoring*. Situation monitoring is
the continuous review and analysis by United States Government (USG) organizations, including the joint planning and execution
community (JPEC), for indicators of incidents
that could develop into a crisis. The CCDRs specifically monitor their respective AORs.
 *Event Occurrence*. An event occurs that may
have possible national security implications.
 *Initial Report*. A commander issues an
operational report to advise the chain of
command of the developing situation. This report provides the President, SecDef, and the CJCS with as much information as possible about the nature of the crisis. The report also

Plan Assessment

contains an assessment of actions being considered, actions already taken within existing ROE, and a succinct discussion of any COAs already under consideration.

## Crisis Assessment

The CJCS, in coordination with the other members of the JCS and the appropriate CCDRs, provides an assessment of the situation from the military point of view to the President and Sec- Def. This collaborative assessment process expands upon the supported CCDR's initial report of the situation and includes a review of current strategy and applicable OPLANs, forces available, expected time for earliest commitment of forces, and major constraints on the employment of forces, including terrorist threat considerations and force protection requirements. The supported command continues to provide status reports, which highlight any significant actions taken within the existing ROE. Depending on the time sensitivity of the situation, the supported CCDR's assessment may include a recommended COA. The Services participate in the supported commander's review of military forces when time permits. The USTRANSCOM reviews the status of strategic lift assets and takes action as authorized and appropriate to improve the disposition and readiness of intertheater lift assets and common user port facilities.

## Iterative Action

Situational awareness is continuous and repetitive throughout the JOPES process. Some options for action are to

 Continue monitoring.  Increase reporting.  Gather additional information.  Publish a CJCS warning order to initiate more
detailed planning.
 Return to precrisis situation monitoring.

## Planning

The planning component normally begins with the issuance of a CJCS warning, planning, or alert order indicating that a threat to national security exists or a response is warranted. Planning includes COA development and selection. The approved COA becomes the basis for the CONOPS, which defines the operation phases and transition criteria, aligns missions with force requirements, and provides termination criteria. The planning component consists of two parts: COA development and detailed plan development.

## Course Of Action Development

This planning component step begins when the President, SecDef, or CJCS decides to develop military options. The supported CCDR develops and submits recommended COAs to the CJCS, SecDef, and President in the commander's estimate. The COA development process consists of the following five activities, as stated in CJCSM 3122.01:

 *Mission Analysis*. The supported CCDR carefully analyzes the assigned mission to develop his COA. The supported CCDR determines the military objective, reviews what resources are available for mission accomplishment, analyzes the adversary and the physical conditions that affect the mission, and reviews guidance from the President, SecDef, and CJCS. The primary product of mission analysis is a mission statement, which is distributed to
staff and subordinate and supporting commanders. It clearly and concisely states objectives to be accomplished and the purpose of the operation. The mission statement forms the basis for planning and is included in all relevant planning products, which are shared in the collaborative environment.
 *Planning Guidance Development*. Planning
guidance provides sufficient information to the CCDR's staff and subordinate and supporting commanders for developing military COAs. Use of collaborative tools ensures information sharing and feedback among JPEC members involved in COA development.
 *Staff Estimates*. Staff estimates provide the
foundation for COA selection and the commander's estimate. They identify the COA that best accomplishes the mission and can be supported. The CCDR's staff analyzes each COA from individual functional perspectives to determine supportability and coordinates results in a collaborative environment.
 *Commander's Estimate*. The final product of
COA development is the supported commander's estimate, which describes the COAs considered, summarizes evaluation results, and presents recommendations. It contains the supported commander's preferred COA and supporting rationale as well as essential information for the CJCS, President, and Sec- Def to consider in selecting a military COA.
 *Course of Action Selection*. The CJCS, as
principal military advisor to the President and
assigned missions. The supported CCDR monitors movements, assesses and reports the achievement of objectives, directs action needed to ensure successful completion of military operations, and continues planning as necessary.

SecDef and in consultation with the supported and supporting CCDRs and other members of the JCS, reviews and evaluates the supported CCDR's estimate and provides recommendations and advice to the President and SecDef for their decision. The President or SecDef selects a COA and directs that detailed planning begin. The CJCS issues an alert order, denoting SecDef approval of a military COA. The CJCS may issue a planning order to direct commencement of detailed planning pending the SecDef's approval of a COA.

## Detailed Plan Development

Information pertinent to the operation is continuously updated and assessed and adjustments made as appropriate. The CJCS monitors the deployment and employment of forces, acts to resolve shortfalls, and directs action needed to ensure the successful completion of military operations. The USTRANSCOM manages common-user global air, land, and sea transportation, reporting the progress of deployments to the CJCS and the supported CCDR. Execution continues until the crisis is terminated or the mission is completed. If the crisis is prolonged, the process may be repeated continuously as circumstances and missions change.

## Deliberate Planning

Detailed plan development commences upon receipt of an alert or planning order. The supported CCDR, in collaboration with subordinate and supporting commanders, expands an approved or directed COA into a detailed OPORD and sourced TPFDD by modifying an existing OPLAN, expanding an existing CON- PLAN, or creating a new OPORD when there is no pre-existing OPLAN. The collaborative planning environment and staff estimates developed in deliberate planning are valuable resources for OPORD development and provide for continuous plan refinement as time allows until either the guidance changes or the plan is executed.

## Execution

Execution begins when the President or SecDef chooses a military option in response to a crisis. The President or SecDef authorizes the CJCS to issue an execute order (EXORD) that allocates forcesActive Component/Reserve Componentto the supported CCDR and directs the supported CCDR to conduct military operations. The CJCS EXORD directs the deployment and employment of forces, defines the timing for the initiation of operations, and conveys guidance not provided earlier. The supported CCDR issues an EXORD to subordinate and supporting commanders to direct OPORD execution. Subordinate and supporting commanders execute OPORDs and conduct operations to accomplish As explained in JP 3-35, the deployment, reception, and integration of US air, land, maritime, and special operations forces in support of CCDR requirements is a series of operational events enabled by logistics. The deployment process begins with planning for force projection under deliberate planning or in a crisis. The OPLAN contains a deployment concept and may contain TPFDD that identify force requirements and flow the forces into the theater as required by the CONOPS. Deployment operations enable joint forces to conduct campaigns and major operations and to respond to other contingencies by securing positional advantages that contribute to the achievement of operational and strategic objectives. At any given time there could be multiple requirements to employ military forces. Each operation could have a different strategic priority and could be of a different size and scope. Effectively supporting multiple requirements and applying the right level of priority and resources to each requires effective global force management. The joint deployment process is divided into four iterative and often simultaneous phases: deployment planning; predeployment activities; movement; and joint reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (JRSOI).

 *Deployment Planning*. Deployment planning
occurs during both JOPES CAP and deliberate planning. It is conducted at all command levels
and by both the supported and supporting commanders. Deployment planning activities include all action required to plan for the deployment and employment of forces.
 Predeployment
Activities.
Predeployment
activities are actions taken by the JPEC before
movement to prepare to execute a deployment
operation. These actions include continued refinement of OPLANs from the strategic to
the tactical level at the supported and supporting commands, sourcing forces, completion of operation-specific training, and mission rehearsals.
 *Movement*. Movement includes the movement
of self-deploying units and those that require lift support. This phase includes movements within CONUS, deployments within an AOR,
and origin-to-destination strategic moves.
 *JRSOI*. The JRSOI phase is the critical link
between deployment and employment of the joint forces in the area of operations. It integrates the deploying forces with the joint operation and is the responsibility of the supported CCDR. This planning process applies to deliberate planning and CAP within the context of the responsibilities specified by the CJCSM 3122 series of JOPES publications. The joint planning process is also used by joint organizations that have no specific JOPES responsibilities; moreover, it supports planning throughout the course of an operation after the CJCS, at the direction of the President or SecDef, issues the EXORD. In common application, the joint planning process proceeds according to planning milestones
and other requirements established by the commanders at various levels; however, the CJCSM 3122 series specifies JPEC milestones, deliverables, and interaction points for contingency and
crisis action plans developed using the formal JOPES process.

Deliberate planning encompasses the following four levels of planning detail with an associated planning product at each level:

 *Level 1Commander's Estimate*. This level of
planning involves the least detail, but requires a developed COA.
 *Level 2Base Plan*. This level describes the
CONOPS, major forces, concepts of support, and anticipated timelines for completing the
mission. It normally does not include annexes
or TPFDD.
 *Level 3CONPLAN*. A CONPLAN is an
abbreviated OPLAN that may require considerable expansion or alteration to convert it into an OPLAN or OPORD. It includes a base plan with annexes required by the JFC and a supported commander's estimate of the plan's feasibility. It may also produce TPFDD, if applicable.
 *Level 4OPLAN*. An OPLAN is a complete
and detailed joint plan containing a full description of the CONOPS, all annexes applicable to the plan, and a TPFDD.
Service participation in JOPES processes ensures that Service requirements for common-user strategic mobility and theater logistic support assets are identified. Initial Service deployment data are based on force requirements developed during deliberate planning or the COA development phase of time-sensitive planning. Movement requirements are registered in the TPFDD, the basis for forming ship and intertheater airlift loading plans in execution planning. In a specific geographic region, commanders must provide coordination and control over the MPF FIE, MPSRON, logistic pipeline, and, if required, follow-up shipping and T-AVB. Proper timephasing for the movement of forces is essential to avoid throughput congestion at available ports, beaches, and airfields. The MARFOR and MEFs force lists, the extent to which operational requirements of the potential mission can be identified, and the availability of sufficient NSE assets to support the operation. Provisions should be made for the supported and supporting CCDR to ascertain the current status of MPF forces, such as a case in which MPSs may not be available because of their maintenance cycles or use on an exercise.

should be able to identify their warfighting materiel and equipment priorities for each OPLAN or CONPLAN and translate these priorities into embarkation requirements for the MMC, according to Navy/Marine Corps Departmental Publication (NAVMC) 2907, Maritime Prepositioning Force Prepositioning Objective (PO). The MAGTF employment mission ultimately dictates what to deploy and how to phase it into the area of operations.

## Combatant Commander, Establishing Authority, And Service Component Commanders' Planning

 *Repositioning the MPSRON*. Repositioning of
the MPSRON may be directed by CJCS between COA development and COA selection. Early repositioning of the MPSRON will
reduce force closure times. Under normal operating conditions, MPSRONs can get underway within 24 hours of notification.
 *Mobilizing selected Reserves*. Certain Marine
Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard organizations that support the MPF require mobilization of Reserve component personnel for offload operations. It is then necessary to request activation of selected units as early as possible upon receipt of the warning order. Specific Reserve Component requirements will vary with the type of offload, offload times, and other ongoing commitments. Other Reserve requirements must be addressed by the parent Service. For further information, see JP 4-05, Joint Mobilization Planning.
 *Activating T-AVBs*. Although the T-AVBs are
not part of the MPF, they can be employed to support MPF operations. The use of T-AVBs should be considered during COA development and selection due to their reduced operating status (ROS) and the long lines of communications (LOCs) from SPOEs to seaports of debarkation (SPODs).
The CJCS warning order generates initial appraisals of military options and capabilities. The supported CCDR provides supplementary details for the MAGTF's mission refinement and identification of alternative COAs, either through modification of an existing CONPLAN or development of new options. Service components and other supporting commands are tasked to provide advice
focusing on alternative COAs, constraints and restraints, and identification of major combat forces and transportation requirements. Numbered fleet commanders report capabilities and limitations to CCDRs and assist in the development of Navy COAs. Based on the available information, the supported CCDR constructs a commander's estimate to submit to the CJCS. The USTRANSCOM examines preliminary movement data, assesses requirements, and prepares preliminary force closure estimates. As a separate action, a CCDR in the MPSRON OPCON chain of command may direct the NCC/JFMCC to commence the transit of that MPSRON toward the objective area. Specific actions in the commencement of transit include
The supported CCDR and supporting commander should establish a liaison with CDRUS- TRANSCOM and other supporting agencies involved in force deployment early in the process. This liaison is necessary to ensure that relevant and timely information exchange occurs. Refined TPFDD must be made available to

articulate what combat capabilities must be ready and when. Information for planners working on AAA operations must include the following:

 The mission.  The commander's intent.

## Maritime Prepositioning Force Plans Developmental Hierarchy

There are seven primary plans associated with the five phases of an MPF operation

 Employment plan.
 The priorities of MAGTF capabilities, such as
when involved in a foreign humanitarian assistance or civil support mission. Priority of initial asset distribution may go to the initial security forces, the LCE, then to other MAGTF elements.
 Arrival and assembly plan.
 Deployment plan.
 MPE/S distribution plan.
 A general understanding of the MAGTF commander's area of operations to include depth and breadth.
 Sustainment plan.  Reconstitution plan.  Redeployment plan.

## Arrival And Assembly Plan

The MPF OPLAN is developed in reverse order to the sequence that the MPF operation is conducted. The MAGTF employment plan drives the arrival and assembly plan, which drives the deployment plan, and so on.

The arrival and assembly plan delineates the MAGTF commander's concept for arrival and assembly; sets forth the task organization; and assigns tasks to subordinate elements for beach, port, airfield, and MPE/S issue and initial CSS operations. The plan is coordinated with the CMPF and submitted by the MAGTF commander to the establishing authority for approval. The decision to deploy an MPF is based on the following conditions existing in the AAA:
Planning and deployment sequencing for an MPF operation requires an understanding of the general timelines involved as an MPF operation unfolds. Figure 5-4 is an example of an exercise timeline template; figure 5-5 is an example of a Reserve exercise timeline in the unnamed day on which a deployment operation begins (C-day).

 One or more airfields exists within the AAA
with the capability to do the following:  Recover and launch AMC intertheater aircraft to include CRAF aircraft.

 Recover 2025 AMC transport/CRAF aircraft during 24-hour operations.
 Offload aircraft safely using available apron
space.
 Provide an overflow area for passengers and
cargo to include a helicopter buildup area.
 Provide a minimum ATC capability.  Operate fixed-wing and tilt-rotor/rotarywing tactical aircraft.
The key element in developing the MAGTF's employment plan is the MAGTF mission as assigned by the establishing authority. Beyond the mission, understanding the commander's intent and, most importantly, his priorities and timeline for establishing MAGTF capabilities are critical to the development of the arrival and assembly plan and subsets of it, such as the MPF offload plan or the movement plan and the AAA overlay.

The MAGTF commander must be able to

 A usable port exists within the AAA with the
capability to do the following:
 Berth ships with drafts up to 37 feet to offload pierside.
are essential for integrating MPF activities with force protection responsibilities. Accordingly, terrain management is an essential function of MPF staff planning.

 Accommodate the ship's stern ramp and vehicle weight on the pier (see app. N for ship data).
 The arrival schedule for the FIE.
 Provide a surge offload capability to stage
vehicles, perform initial corrective maintenance, and to stage containers (preferably hardstand).
 The throughput plan. The use of a throughput
matrix by the major and subordinate elements provides visibility for MPE/S (see fig. 5-10 on page 5-17).
 Provide for the offload and possible storage
of fuel, water, and ammunition.
 The preliminary table of equipment and/or
ready for issue (RFI) lists.
 The communications plan.
 Reports.
 If no usable port is available, then a suitable
beach must exist within the AAA with the following capabilities:
 The arrival and assembly plan, which establishes the following:
 Offload MPE/S with access to improved
road/rail networks.
 Time-phased distribution of materials handling equipment (MHE).
 Sufficient staging/maintenance areas suitable
for the offload of MPE/S.
 Mobile electric power (MEP).  Stockage levels.
 Discharge and possible storage of fuel,
water, and bulk liquids.
 Distribution means (unit or point) for consumables.
 Provisions for health services, maintenance,
engineer, and military police support. Plan composition and reports format are normally determined by the MAGTF commander in coordination with the CMPF.
Transportation; all types of petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL); potable water; and security may be provided by HNS agencies or through specific, early, self-support arrangements that should be incorporated into MPF deployment planning to ensure such commodities are available.

## Offload Planning Arrival And Assembly Plan Format And Enclosures

Offload of an MPSRON or a portion of an MPSRON can be conducted pierside, in-stream, or by a combination of both. The establishing authority determines the offload method based on recommendations by the CMPF and MAGTF commander.

There is no set format for the arrival and assembly plan, but an LOI or the JOPES format is acceptable. The arrival and assembly plan encompasses the early establishment of sufficient unloading and throughput forces (LFSP and NSE) from the AAA to the TAAs. The arrival and assembly plan may include the following enclosures:

 The AAA overlay, in which MPF terrain management, associated control measures, and force protection units must be graphically represented to provide a comprehensive display of units and activities. Overlays, such as the AAA, port, beach, and airfield (as seen in figs. 5-6 through 5-9 on pages 5-15 through 5-16),
A pierside offload is the quickest and most efficient method. During a pierside offload, all vehicles are driven off the ship's ramp and containers are lifted using the ship's or host nation's cranes. An important consideration for pierside offload is the tidal variance. Ports with drastic changes in water depth between high and low tide may limit available offload time due to the angle the ramp rests against the pier, since some vehicles cannot negotiate the stern ramp if the angle is too steep.

The MPSs can execute an in-stream offload using organic cranes and embarked lighterage. Environmental factors and the sea state before the offload starts affect any decision on in-stream offload methods. The two methods of in-stream offload are lift-on/lift-off (LO/LO) and roll-on/ roll-off discharge facility (RRDF).

## Lift-On/Lift-Off

Once the RRDF is constructed, the ship lowers its stern ramp onto it. Rolling stock is driven down the ramp, across the RRDF onto a causeway ferry, and then transported to the beach landing site. This movement requires significant embarked lighterage. This method of offloading rolling stock onto causeway ferries is much faster than the LO/LO method. The MPSs have different ramp certifications. Planners should verify the ships being used and the weight limitations for each ship's ramps to ensure that particular vehicles can be offloaded via the ramp onto the RRDF.

The LO/LO operations are slow and cumbersome. All embarked equipment and containers are lifted off using a ship's crane from ship to lighterage and moved to the beach landing sites.

## Roll-On/Roll-Off Discharge Facility

The RRDF, a floating pier made up of embarked lighterage, is generally the preferred in-stream offload method. The NSE constructs the RRDF with the following lighterage:
Once the SLRP has evaluated the AAA, it will decide on the offload method and adjust timelines accordingly. The timelines of the MAGTF's ability to be combat ready are affected by the offload method, the limited capability of the MPSRON to move containers, and the time required to match ammunition with weapon systems.

 Two powered causeway sections.

## Bulk Liquids

 Seven nonpowered combination modules.  One docking module.  One loading module.  Two warping tugs.
Each MPSRON carries equipment and supplies in containers that enable fuel and water facilities to be established ashore quickly. Bulk liquids can be transferred from ship to shore using the buoyant hose line system. The NSE, operating under favorable sea state and weather conditions, can set up a 10,000-foot hose in 10 hours. If the beach gradient requires a longer hose line, MAGTF (LCE) pumps may be required to establish intermediate pumping stations.

After the RRDF is assembled, a single warping tug is required to keep it on station. The seven combination modules, docking module, ramp module, and warping tug are located on each maritime prepositioning force ship. There is one RRDF in each MPSRON.

Maximum effective pumping distance is 10,000 feet for each product.

## Transition To Employment

 Plans for follow-on or other assigned missions as directed.
 Recommends, in coordination with the
MAGTF commander, disposition of MPF shipping.
 The MPSRON must monitor
 The status of offloaded materials, such as
fuel and water, ashore as compared with HNS capability, MAGTF storage capacity,
MAGTF usage rates.
Upon the MAGTF commander's determination that the MAGTF is ready to undertake the assigned mission, the MAGTF commander, in coordination with CMPF, will request termination of the MPF operation. A smooth transition from deployment, through arrival and assembly and employment requires detailed planning and coordination and a focus on MAGTF readiness.

The MAGTF's plans for transition to employment should include the following:

 Clear delineation of responsibility for force
protection and local security.
 Notification to HHQ that all units/detachmentsas they become operationally ready are not required to assist further in arrival and assembly tasks.
 Shortfalls in storage areas/facilities ashore,
as they may necessitate use of one or more MPSs as a station/warehouse facility until sufficient facilities are developed ashore. Shortfalls may require MPSs to function as mobile CSS facilities for inshore operations, positioning and repositioning as necessary along the coast parallel to the MAGTF movements. This situation is an example of a "withhold shipping" requirement.
 Use of TAAs for subsequent or concurrent tactical operations.
 Plans for response to hostile action during
arrival and assembly.
 The shift of OPCON to the CDRUS-
TRANSCOM, with the concurrence of the supported CCDR, when the MPSs are released from MPF operations to be used as common user sealift.
 Allocating staff planning efforts among arrival
and assembly, deployment, and preparatory activities for subsequent employment.

## Disposition Of Maritime Prepositioning Force Components

 The level of force protection that can be provided, which is a key consideration regarding the amount of time the MPSRON remains in the offload area.
Upon termination of the MPF operation, various MPF components are assigned new duties or released to their parent commands or other agencies. Timing and disposition of the MPF must be planned with as much detail as possible. The MAGTF, CMPF, MPSRON, and NSE each have responsibilities

 Lighterage that may be needed for offload of
assault follow-on echelon and follow-up shipping after an MPSRON departure. Lighterage operators are part of the NSE. Other considerations for retaining lighterage include fueling, repair and maintenance, sheltering or harbor facilities, and maintenance of in-stream water and fuel hoses deployed.
 The MAGTF must

 Anticipate command relationship changes,
such as independent JTF operations or augmenting another MAGTF.
 Support mission requirements.
 The NSE may remain in place if reconstitution, backload, and redeployment are imminent. For anticipated long-term MAGTF employment in the vicinity of the AAA, the NSE or designated elements may remain as lead elements of semipermanent or long-term naval support. The port/beach would remain

the MPF offload commences.
 Ready-to-load dateThe date when a unit will

open for resupply, reinforcing, or joint logistics over-the-shore (JLOTS) operations. The NSE will perform these tasks until the operation terminates or is relieved by Army terminal units. If needed ashore, the EMF will be offloaded, staged, and signed over to the NCC/ JFMCC for transport to the assembly site.

 Available-to-load dateThe date specified for
each unit in a TPFDD indicating when that unit will be ready to load at the point of embarkation.

## Deployment Plan

 Earliest arrival date (EAD)A day, relative to
C-day, that is specified by a planner as the earliest date when a unit, a resupply shipment, or replacement personnel can be accepted at a
POD during a deployment. Used with the latest
arrival date (LAD), it defines a delivery window for transportation planning.
The deployment plan prescribes the MAGTF
commander's concept for deployment. It organizes the movement groups and assigns tasks and responsibilities. It entails FDP&E, marshalling priorities, the air and sea movement plans, and identifying the FIE.

 LADA day, relative to C-day, that is specified by the supported CCDR as the latest day when a unit, resupply shipment, or replacement personnel can arrive at the POD and support the CONOPS.
 RDDThe date that a force must arrive at the
destination and complete unloading.
The FDP&E provides definition of available and required movement dates in JOPES. It examines deployment options to identify the assets required to move planned forces to the required destinations by airlift and sealift.

 CCDR's required dateThe original date, relative to C-day, specified by the CCDR for arrival of forces or cargo at the destination; shown in the time-phased force and deployment data to assess the impact of later arrival.

## Initial Planning

The FDP&E is based on the commander's requirement for the force to arrive as reflected in JOPES/TPFDD. It begins with the required delivery date (RDD) and requires the war planner to determine transit times and possible en route delays during each movement leg.

Initial planning includes the following actions:

 Analyze the mission objectives of the force.  Identify force requirements.  Develop COAs.  Analyze existing deployment plans/TPFDD.
Using reverse planning, the FDP&E works backwards from the RDD to determine a timeline for movement dates from the origin to the POE, continuing through the POD to the ultimate destination. It is highly interactive with JOPES and requires constant plan coordination and TPFDD refinement.

 Analyze lift requirements.

## Specific Planning Days And Deployment Dates

 Prepare the MAGTF and CMPF for deployment.

## Plan Development

The following notional dates are significant to deployment planning:
Plan developers must

 N-dayThe unnamed day an active duty unit
is notified for deployment or redeployment.
 Refine and establish mission warfighting priorities and objectives.
 C-dayAn unnamed day when a deployment
operation commences or is to commence.
 Develop a CONOPS.
 Refine the force and equipment list.

## Air Movement Plan

 Refine the deployment plan/TPFDD.  Provide a refined deployment plan/TPFDD to
the supported CCDR for a transportation feasibility estimator and throughput analysis.
 Schedule the movement of MPF units.

## Marshalling Plan

At a minimum, the marshalling plan must do the following:

 Designate marshalling areas.
Movement of MPF elements by air involves the intertheater airlift of personnel, equipment, and helicopters, and the flight ferry of the MAGTF's fixed-wing and tilt-rotor self-deploying aircraft. Air movement is planned by the MAGTF commander in coordination with the establishing authority, MPF element commanders, the MEF/ MARFOR strategic mobility office, and AMC planners. A general air movement plan is developed that prescribes the organization and movement of units. It is later refined with validated TPFDD and compiled in the air movement sequence table (see table 5-2).

 Identify transportation requirements and allocate transportation assets for movement to marshalling areas.

## Air Movement Sequence Table

 List agencies responsible to control movement
to marshalling areas and the APOE.
 Establish staging areas at departure airfields.  List inspection areas and procedures for the
flow of deploying personnel, equipment, and supplies through the marshalling areas.
Table 5-2 reflects MAGTF and Navy TPFDD movement priorities and group organization for deployment. It lists TPFDD ULNs based on the estimated time of arrival in the AAA, nominally the LAD.

loads.
 Disseminate procedures for coordinating with
other Services and external support agencies.
The air movement sequence table and the air movement requirements listed in the TPFDD enable movement control agencies to track, identify, and account for deploying elements.

Legend: FAST
fleet antiterrorism security team Airlift requirements documented in the TPFDD and AIS deployment databases are the basis for developing specific aircraft load plans once the exact aircraft allocation is known. The MAGTF commander uses JOPES procedures to update the TPFDD with planned aircraft loads for submission to higher, adjacent, and supporting commanders. To assist in updating the TPFDD, the MAGTF commander may use the following air planning information submitted by deploying elements:

 Amount of cargo and passengers to move.
however, independent operations may require establishment of coordination methods to allow for unhindered air operations, whether carrier or land based, in and around the AAA. Control zones; checkpoints; ordnance procedures; and approach, holding, and arrival/departure patterns will be established as necessary. Integration of air command and control procedures with the host nation is necessary to ensure the safety and security of all forces involved. The Marine air command and control system must coordinate with joint and multinational air command and control systems.

 Availability of cargo and passengers at the
APOE.

## Arrival Airfield

 Distance to deploy the force.  Diplomatic clearances.  APOE/aerial port of debarkation (APOD)/en
route support base capabilities.
 APOD/AAA air space security.  Airflow command and control and communications systems.
 Deployment sequence.  Aircraft loading factors.  Airlift tempo and throughput coordination.
The arrival airfield must meet specific requirements, which are discussed in chapter 7. If the arrival airfield and fixed-wing base of operations are separate airfields, no conflict will exist and the ACE aircraft may deploy to the base of operations prior to completing the airlift. Should one airfield serve as both an arrival airfield and fixedwing base, security and operational considerations may require early employment of fixedwing aircraft during FIE arrivals and may significantly impact throughput. The following must be considered when selecting the arrival airfield:

 EAD/LAD at the APOD. Normally, there is a
3- to 4-day difference between the EAD and LAD to facilitate CDRUSTRANSCOM and AMC scheduling and reduce service costs.
 Priority and use of airfields.
 Host nation airfield facilities may require
expansion/duplication, causing planners to find alternate locations.
 ATC requirements.
 Capacity of approaches and traffic patterns
(such as ramp space, capacity of visual and instrument approach) and departure procedures for the airfield will affect throughput. To enhance airfield capability, expeditionary visual and instrument approach assets will embark early in the FIE.
To provide JTAV and ITV of capability upon commencement of airlift, the MAGTF airlift liaison element (ALE) and the supporting MEF coordinate with the major subordinate commands to ensure cargo and passenger data for each aircraft mission is entered into the TPFDD.

## Additional Airfields Airspace Management

Parking space limitations and the desire to separate fixed-wing, rotary-wing, or tilt-rotor operations may indicate a need for an additional airfield to accept immediate deployment of helicopters. An additional airfield increases arrival The supported CCDR must coordinate early with the host nation to establish appropriate air control measures. In an augmentation operation, standard expeditionary air control measures apply;
airfield throughput and reduces the problems associated with the simultaneous operation of fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and tilt-rotor aircraft.

## Sea Movement Plan

Sea movement includes the MPSRON and other assigned ships (T-AVB and escorts). The numbered fleet commander prepares the sea movement plan that identifies those forces for replenishment and security purposes en route and in the AAA. The initiating directive will specify the command relationships and responsibilities for sea movement (see table 5-3).

Ship movement is planned by the numbered fleet commander, in coordination with the establishing authority, MAGTF commander, and the CMPF to embark the OPP and ensure the coordinated arrival of the MPSRON in the objective area with associated airlifted forces. Ship movements are normally timed to arrive no earlier than 24 hours before the initial airlifted elements and SLRP deployment is timed to arrive in the operating area 8 to 9 days before ship arrival.

## Flight Ferry Plan

This plan addresses the self-deployment of MAGTF aircraft. It specifies flight routes and schedules; assigns movement increment designations; and provides details for air search and rescue, en route support, aerial refueling, and diversion airfields. The MAGTF commander develops this plan with his ACE commander. Direction for and approval of the plan comes from the CCDR through the establishing authority. Both the MARFOR and AMC may provide aerial refueling and the MAGTF must coordinate strategic refueling support with those organizations' planners. The flight ferry and airlift plans, though similar, have different requirements that must be coordinated by the supported and supporting CCDRs. Movement of AMC aircraft and fixed-wing and tilt-rotor MAGTF elements must be coordinated to avoid saturation of staging bases, weather divert alternates, and ATC facilities. En route support bases must possess sufficient ATC, navigational aids (NAVAIDS), command and control, billeting and messing, POL, maintenance, and service facilities. Overflight rights may impact inflight refueling and staging base requirements. Supporting and supported CCDRs will provide flight route clearance and security for staging bases and flight routes within their AORs. The use of JOPES ensures coordination of the flight ferry operations.

## Deployment Command And Control Measures

Certain control measures must be decided early. Generally, these measures and their associated tasks and functions are grouped into those required for marshalling and movement.

## Marshalling Control

Marshalling control functions include

 Marshalling areas.  OPSEC.  Inspections.  Briefings.  Ground movement to APOEs.
 Load procedures.

## Survey, Liaison, And Reconnaissance Party And Offload Preparation Party Deployment

The success or failure of the MPF operation may be determined by the effectiveness of the methods established to distribute, account for, and control the issuance of MPE/S. Methods and controls should be described to all MPE/S users in the distribution plan as part of the arrival and assembly plan. An effective distribution plan contributes to throughput and ensures strict accountability and security. Technical assistance from the MAR- CORLOGCOM (BICmd) TAAT facilitates the distiribution of MPE/S. All MPE/S should be designated to specific battalions, ACE squadrons, and separate companies using the MDSS II after the MMC. This designation ensures that MPE/S go to the correct unit, which reduces the amount of equipment in the FIE. Consideration must be given to personnel, equipment, the container operations terminal (COT) lot, and MPE/S accountability to execute the distribution plan.

## Personnel

Adequate numbers of trained personnel must be provided to plan and manage the distribution of equipment and supplies. Personnel are sourced Two unique requirements of an MPF operation are preparing MPS and MPE/S before arrival in the operating area and assessing the port/beach and arrival airfield before the FIE arrives. Planners should request authority from the supported CCDR for the earliest possible deployment of the OPP and SLRP. Any MPSRON repositioning may dictate early OPP deployment. Early SLRP
deployment is required to validate geodetic, tainer structure will preclude it from being certified to be embarked aboard the MPS.

## Maritime Prepositioning Equipment And Supplies Accountability

from the MAGTF, NCE, EMF, and NSE, and they serve in the SLRP, AAOG, arrival and assembly operations elements (AAOEs), and LFSP. Key personnel familiar with the distribution plan should deploy with the SLRP to perform reconnaissance of the proposed staging areas, identify HNS to assist the distribution, and reconcile disparities between physical inventories on MPS and load plan equipment lists with the officer in charge (OIC) OPP.

## Equipment

Once all MPE/S are offloaded, accountability for them will transfer from MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) to the MAGTF commander, who will subsign them to MSEs. Upon completion of the MAGTF's mission, MPE/S accountability transfers back to MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd)
through the SPMAGTF/combat logistics regiment/combat logistics battalion executing the reconstitution.

## Sustainment Plan

Adequate quantities of AIS equipment are essential for the distribution system to work properly. The AAOG, AACG, LFSP, AAOEs, and NSE should possess the automated data processing equipment (ADPE) necessary to fulfill their control and accountability requirements. Local equipment checklists should be developed to reflect the type and quantities of assets to establish connectivity with the MPF.

## Container Operations Terminal Lot

The Services are responsible for sustaining their forces, so they must be prepared to establish their own resupply pipelines. As such, the MAGTF and MARFOR will identify requirements in JOPES for follow-up and sustainment shipping to include the following:

 Supplies and equipment needed that were not
part of the prepositioning objective or the FIE.
 Items for sustainment beyond the 30 days
available on MPSRONs. See MCWP 4-12, Operational-Level Logistics; JP 4-01.4, Joint
Tactics, Techniques and Procedures for Joint
Theater Distribution; and JP 4-09, Joint Doctrine for Global Distribution.
 Personal demand items (Class VI) and food
supplements (Class I) typically required by O+10. These are listed as nonunit records in the TPFDD.
The combat logistics regiment/combat logistics battalion will establish a COT lot in the combat service support area (CSSA). Each MPSRON may offload more than 2,000 containers, many containing the sustainment of the MAGTF, but UAAs may not be initially set up to receive containers. These unit-specific containers may go into the overflow area of the COT lot until the UAA is prepared to receive them. Grading roads and leveling the ground of the COT lot is critical to the timely distribution of materials in containers. After containers are unloaded, empty containers are returned to the CSSA COT lot for temporary storage until the reconstitution phase. Commands that desire to use empty containers for other purposes, such as bunkers, armories, or office spaces, must obtain permission from MARCORLOG- COM (BICmd) through the MAGTF commander.

Containers are critical to reconstitution and are expensive to procure. Damage done to the con-

## Reconstitution Plan

 Time considerations and allowances to accomplish reconstitution.
 A ship certification schedule.  Retrograde plans.  Future operational commitments.
Advance planning will facilitate the success of the MPF reconstitution and should focus on ground equipment and supplies, NSE, and AGSE.

## Redeployment Plan

The goal of reconstitution is to re-establish the full function of MPF assets with the desired expeditionary capabilities to support an MPF MAGTF as rapidly as possible. The decision to reconstitute MPE/S aboard MPSs that have been employed in an operation is made at the CJCS level based on CCDR recommendations. A CCDR, the Services
(Navy and Marine Corps), and CDR- USTRANSCOM are directed by the CJCS to execute the reconstitution. In small operations or exercises, such as one ship being offloaded, the responsible CCDR will initiate actions to reconstitute. Once initiated, the MPF reconstitution process must be coordinated with the GCC and included in redeployment planning (see chap. 8). Options for location of reconstitution sites include the area of the MPF operation or an alternate geographic location. Factors that may contribute to this decision include

 Whether the MPS will be reconstituted in the
same form or altered to accommodate changes in operational requirements and capabilities.
Redeployment is the transfer of forces and material to support another JFC's operational requirements or to return personnel, equipment, and material to the home/demobilization stations for reintegration/out-processing. Redeployment of the MAGTF and MPF elements from one area of operations to another involves the backload of MPE/S previously placed ashore from the ship. The conduct of redeployment depends on the MAGTF's assigned mission and the distance from the POE to the new objective area. During redeployment, JOPES procedures are used.

 Possibility of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) attack or decontamination requirements.

## Chapter 6 Marshalling And Movement

Deployment encompasses all activities from the origin or home station to the destination, specifically including within CONUS, intertheater, and intratheater movement legs and staging and holding areas. Deploying echelons, organized by plane or ship teams, assemble at their home station, prepare for deployment, and move according to the established plan or when called to stage at APOEs or SPOEs.

## Marshalling

Marshalling for sea and air movement is covered in JP 3-02.1, Amphibious Embarkation and Debarkation, and Department of Defense Regulation (DODR) 4500.9-R, Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR). Parent commands supervise preparation for deployment (see chap. 4), outlining required actions before and after an alert order and procedures that should be included in unit readiness SOPs. Movement to APOEs/SPOEs is accomplished with organic transportation as much as possible. Requests for transportation in excess of organic capability are coordinated by the MMCC. The CMPF transportation requirements for elements deploying by airlift are coordinated with the MAGTF commander. The AMC exercises overall control of airlift operations at APOEs. The AMC CRG establishes an air operations center or air terminal operations center at the airfield, through which all information related to onload or offload operations is disseminated. Coordination between the moving unit, DACG, and CRG is critical to an orderly movement of transport aircraft through the APOE. The arrival of unit equipment and personnel for onload must be sequenced to avoid bottlenecks at the APOE. The parent MEF and MSEs of the MPF MAGTF provide an officer at the APOE to coordinate the arrival of unit equipment and personnel with DACG and CRG. The CRG, DACG, and APOE installation commanders must coordinate with each other to ensure that sufficient ramp space for aircraft parking and equipment staging is available to support the airlift flow. The DACG, in coordination with the APOE installation commander and the base operations support group (BOSG) or station operations support group (SOSG), ensures that shelter and messing for deploying personnel are provided. Helicopter disassembly areas should be located away from passenger and cargo staging areas, yet close enough that aircraft can be towed to the staging area. This area should be large enough for MHE to move safely between aircraft. Helicopter disassembly requires cranes, forklifts, tow tractors, light units, and ramp space for work and staging. For SPOE operations, normal embarkation procedures and relationships apply.

## Sea Movement Group And Air Movement Group

The MPF is divided into two movement groups based on deployment modesea or air. The sea movement group is divided into movement elements that deploy from the same SPOE at approximately the same time. The air movement group (collectively called FIE) is divided into elements that deploy from different APOEs at different times (see fig. 6-1, on page 6-2).

## Sea Movement Group Elements

The MPSRON will move as directed by the fleet commander. Movement should accommodate the earliest possible embarkation of the OPP. The MPSRON will meet with escorts, if assigned, and transit to the AAA. The TAV-B and follow-up shipping proceeds as directed (see app. N for MPSRON capabilities and characteristics).

## Offload Preparation Party

The OPP initially deploys by air but arrives in the AAA as part of the sea movement group aboard the MPSRON (see chap. 7 for OPP functions, app. I for the OPP checklist, and app. O for a notional OPP table of organization).

## Follow-Up And Sustainment Shipping

Follow-up shipping provides lift for additional critical items that are not in the MPS prepositioning objective and could not be lifted as part of the FIE. Depending on the length of the MPF MAGTF employment mission, sustainment shipping is coordinated to provide all classes of supply past the 30 days aboard the MPSRON.

## Air Movement Group Elements

Air movement is a continuous, progressive operation that transports successive elements of the deploying force to the objective area. The total time required depends on the number, type, and initial locations of forces to deploy, aircraft availability, range, and throughput considerations. Some critical low-density/high demand (CLD/HD) and other sustainment items may be shipped by air.

## Survey, Liaison, And Reconnaissance Party

See chapter 7 for SLRP functions; app. H for the SLRP checklist; app. O for a notional SLRP table of organization; and app. P for the SLRP report format.

## Advance Party

The advance party consists of personnel designated to deploy before the main body to form the AAOG, LFSP, the remainder of the NSE (those not deployed in the OPP or SLRP), and the AAOEs (see chap. 7). The CMPF and the MAGTF commander task-organize the advance party. Primary tasks are to arrange for the reception of the main body, offload the MPSRON, and distribute MPE/S. It may also include the command elements of the MAGTF and CMPF.

Note: Forces must not be introduced into the
area of operations faster than logistic sup-
port can be provided from the offload and
throughput processes.

## Main Body

The main body of the FIE is the force (less the flight ferry) that remains after the OPP, the SLRP, and the advance party deploy. Movement of the main body is sequenced to support the offload/arrival and assembly operations. It is essential that the main body's flow be relatively uninterrupted to permit expeditious arrival and assembly and force standup.

## Flight Ferry

Flight ferry operations involve the transit of selfdeploying aircraft of the ACE and aerial refueling support. Supporting refuelers may be provided by the MARFOR or AMC. Different aircraft types may require different planning considerations. If self-deploying aircraft are to use the same arrival airfields as the airlift aircraft, detailed coordination with AMC is required. Profiles/routes should be established for each type of aircraft. The final en route staging base should be located within 1,000 nautical miles (nm) of the destination arrival airfield, facilitating movement of the ACE to the arrival airfield without the requirement for additional tanker support.

## Movement Control Organizations

A movement control organization is required to provide unity of effort and support the interface with the JOPES. Sea movements are planned and executed by the fleet in accordance with their normal movement control procedures. The COMMARFOR, as the primary user of airlift, is responsible for coordinating the air movement. Consequently, the CMPF coordinates with the MAGTF commander for marshalling and movement of Navy personnel by air. Coordination for air movement is made directly with CDRUSTRANSCOM and other supporting agencies. Reports of the movement are made through normal chains of command, keeping all commands informed (see fig. 6-2, on page 6-4). See also MCWP 4-11.3, Transportation Operations; JP 4-01, Joint Doctrine for the Defense Transportation System; and JP 4-01.3, Joint Tactics, Techniques and Procedures for Movement Control.

## Magtf Deployment And Distribution Operations Center

The MDDOC is the MEF commander's principal movement control organization responsible for movement and marshalling support. Through coordination with AMC, the MDDOC promulgates the air movement schedule with the parent commands that execute the marshalling activities of the FIE. The MDDOC coordinates directly with MSC and NCC on movement of the MPSRON.

## Magtf Movement Control Center

The MMCCs are organized from the MLGs/LCEs or the supporting establishment in geographic proximity to the marshalling units. They are tasked by the MDDOC to provide organic/commercial transportation, transportation scheduling, MHE, and any other logistic support required by the parent commands during marshalling. The MMCCs (MLGs/LCEs) provide a DACG for the APOE as directed by the MDDOC.

## Departure Airfield Control Group

The DACG is the primary contact with the AMC
CRG at APOEs. A DACG is responsible for receiving deploying equipment and personnel from the units at the APOE. It coordinates with the CRG to ensure that the cargo and personnel are properly prepared for air shipment and delivers cargo to the ready line.

## Arrival Airfield Control Group

The AACG is the primary contact with the AMC CRG at APODs. An AACG is responsible for receiving and moving personnel, equipment, and supplies from the aircraft flight line to initial staging areas.

## Airlift Liaison Element

The MAGTF commander will establish an ALE, which includes personnel from the MAGTF and MSEs, at each APOE to coordinate with the DACG. The ALE is normally located in the staging areas at designated APOEs. Responsibilities of the ALE are to
The command and control for this area is the unit movement control center (UMCC). The UMCC coordinates with the MMCC on their planned movement to the APOE or SPOE. For more detail on movement control, see MCWP 4-11.3.

 Establish a liaison with the DACG and other
deployment support agencies.

## En Route Movement Control Center

 Assist in final preparation of vehicles and
equipment in accordance with DODR 4500.9-R.
 Ensure that required dunnage shoring and tiedown materiel accompany unit loads to the joint inspection area.
 Provide load plans, personnel, and cargo manifests with appropriate copies to the DACG
according to DODR 4500.9-R.
 Assemble personnel, supplies, and equipment
into sequenced preplanned aircraft loads in accordance with established load plans.
The MEF commander may form ALEs, SLEs, and en route movement control centers (EMCCs) to support the deploying MAGTF by monitoring the air movement and informing the MDDOC of any delays in the movement of the FIE and flight ferry. If an unacceptable delay in the deployment of critical personnel or equipment needed for the arrival and assembly phase does occur, the EMCC OIC will direct the offload and reload of personnel and equipment onto other aircraft.

## Tactical Airlift Control Element

 Ensure plane team/troop commanders are
appointed and properly briefed on their responsibilities.
 Ensure aircraft loads arrive at the joint inspection area at times required/coordinated with the DACG.
 Ensure correction of all load discrepancies
found during joint inspections.
 Adjust aircraft load sequence.  Deploy with late departing MAGTF elements
on the last few aircraft in the airflow.
If an intermediate staging base or advanced base is required for AMC aircraft, a CRG deploys to that location to coordinate AMC activity there. The MAGTF may deploy an EMCC with the CRG to coordinate support for MPF FIE assets that may be delayed at the staging base. Since civilian contract carriers determine their en route support requirements, they are responsible for supporting MPF FIE passengers delayed en route because of aircraft maintenance problems.

## Sealift Liaison Element

The MAGTF commander establishes a liaison element at each SPOE to provide for coordination with the Marine air-ground task force offload liaison team (MOLT) and element embarkation personnel. The sealift liaison element (SLE) includes personnel from the MAGTF and MSEs and is normally located in the staging areas at designated SPOEs. The SLE establishes liaison with deployment support agencies as required and assists in the final preparation of vehicles and equipment.

## Unit Movement Control Center

The CRG coordinates all aspects of the airlift mission, including aircraft movement control, communications, and technical supervision of loading and marshalling of aircraft. An advanced echelon (ADVON) deploys ahead of the main CRG to coordinate strategic and AMC requirements at the arrival airfield. Areas of concern include ramp parking, runway conditions, cargo marshalling areas, and airfield support, such as crash/fire/rescue, NAVAIDS, or personnel support. The ADVON coordinates with the SLRP through the airfield coordination officer (ACO) to obtain services from US forces and the host nation. The ADVON may deploy equipment to establish communications with AMC command The deploying unit establishes an area where it marshals for movement to the APOE or SPOE.

and control agencies and the ACO before the main CRG arrives.

## Host Base/Stations

Host base/stations assist marshalling units by providing local logistic support, MHE, transportation, security, staging areas, and other support required by the deploying unit. If required, host base/stations assume custody of RBE. Marine Corps bases and Marine Corps air stations establish a BOSG and SOSG, respectively, which coordinate their support efforts for the deploying MAGTF.

## Ports Of Embarkation

Installation commanders at or near POEs provide MHE, transportation, and security. They also provide other support as requested by the deploying unit.

## Chapter 7 Arrival And Assembly

Arrival and assembly is a crucial phase of an MPF operation and includes the following:

 Initial preparation of the AAA.
that all essential MAGTF elements have attained combat readiness. Simultaneous or subsequent movements from the UAAs for tactical operations by the MAGTF are not considered part of the MPF operation.

 Coordinated arrival and offload of MPE/S
from the MPSRON in port, across a beach, or a combination of both.
 Reception of the FIE.

## Arrival And Assembly Plan

 Preparation, movement, and distribution of
MPE/S.
 Security.  Preparing the MAGTF for its employment
mission.

## Responsibilities Of The Magtf Commander

As applied to MPF operations, Tab A (MPF Arrival and Assembly Plan) to Appendix 14 (Amphibious Operations) to Annex C of the JFC's OPORD contains the arrival and assembly plan. This annex is written by the MAGTF commander, in coordination with the CMPF, and approved by the establishing authority. For a sample arrival and assembly plan, see appendix C.

## Survey, Liaison, And Reconnaissance Party

The MAGTF commander is responsible for arrival and assembly operations, including the reception and throughput ashore of MPF equipment, supplies, and personnel. Throughput is a function of the distribution and movement system. Implicit within throughput is processing personnel and materiel within a specified period of time through a processing point. Accountability of MPE/S upon offload will transfer from BICmd to the MAGTF commander and, eventually, to the MSEs' AAOEs at the UAAs.

## Commencement And Disestablishment

The arrival and assembly phase begins with the arrival of the first MPS or the first transport aircraft mission of the main body at the designated AAA. This phase ends when adequate MPE/S are offloaded and issued to awaiting units, command and control communications are established, and the MAGTF commander reports The SLRP normally deploys to the AAA under the OPCON of the MAGTF. Early SLRP deployment assesses conditions and reports observations as soon as possible to the MAGTF and associated commanders. The SLRP composition is task-organized after the warning order is received and the concept for deployment is developed. The SLRP must be self-sustaining and include, as appropriate, representation from the MAGTF, CMPF, MESF, NCE, EMF, and CNSE staffs. A MAGTF officer is designated, in coordination with CMPF (if designated), as the SLRP OIC. Criteria for selecting the SLRP OIC should be based on knowledge of MPF requirements with consideration given to the diplomatic skills needed to interact with high-level host nation civilian and military representatives.

## Magtf Offload Liaison Team

offload at the AAA. On activation, the OPP deploys to join the MPSs before sailing, during transit, or when they arrive at the AAA. Ideally, the OPP should deploy to join the MPS at least 96 hours before AAA closure. If this is not feasible, the OPP should be positioned in the AAA and board the MPS as soon as possible.

The MOLT coordinates the offload of MPE/S between the NSE OPP OIC, the ship's master, and the Marine OPP OIC. The team also acts as the AAOG liaison aboard the MPS flagship. The MOLT tasks are to

 Maintain up-to-date automated ship load plans
for all MPSs and the associated AIS deployment data for all MPE/S.
 Conduct AIS database training.
 Provide OPP OIC with ship data and special
instructions.
 Coordinate berthing and workspace requirements onboard MPSs before the OPP embarks.

## Technical Assistance And Advisory Team

The OPP OIC is a Navy officer designated by CNSE. The Marine OPP contingent operates under the cognizance of the senior Marine officer, who is called the assistant OPP OIC. On arrival aboard the MPSRON flagship, the OPP
commander will report to COMPSRON to obtain specific directions about shipboard activities. Although dependent on the COMPSRON while embarked, the OPP's responsibilities and priorities are established by the MAGTF commander in coordination with the CMPF. The relationship between the OPP and the ship's master parallels that of an embarked unit commander and the commanding officer of amphibious ships. The OPP OIC conveys the MAGTF commander's offload priorities to the COMPSRON and ship's master. Those priorities define the objectives for offload preparation by the MPSRON, MCMC, and OPP.

## Organization

The TAAT is a task-organized group of 6 to 12 Marines and civilians from BICmd provided to the MAGTF commander upon request. The mission of the TAAT is to advise and assist the MAGTF staff with determining the configuration of MPE/S that best satisfies his desired capabilities aboard each MPS and to provide throughput planning to include issuing the MPE/S during ship offload operations. The TAAT also acts as a facilitator to maintain accountability and ensure complete documentation during offload and arrival and assembly operations. A TAAT can perform the same functions during retrograde, onload, and reconstitution operations.

## Offload Preparation Party

The OPP comprises personnel from the NSE, naval embarked advisory team (NEAT), MAGTF and designated force protection units. The OPP is embarked on the MPSRON by O-day minus 4(O-4). The OPP headquarters consists of key personnel from the Navy (the OPP OIC and the OICs from the NSE and NEAT) and the MAGTF (the assistant OPP OIC). The OPP OIC transitions to be the OCU OIC on O-1 (Navy-day) to provide continuity of operations. The assistant OPP OIC, designated by the MAGTF commander, may transition to become the MAGTF offload liaison officer (LNO). The OPP headquarters is normally billeted aboard the flagship, depending on ship availability.

The OPP is a temporary task organization under the OPCON of the MAGTF commander. It consists of maintenance, embarkation personnel, and equipment operators from all MAGTF MSEs and the NSE. The OPP's task is to prepare MPE/S for

## Arrival And Assembly Organizations

The OPP OIC publishes the daily OPP situation report (SITREP) (see app. Q). Remaining personnel within the OPP are assigned to specific ships within the MPSRON and are designated as an OPP detachment. The OPP detachment OIC is the senior Marine or Sailor aboard that ship and supervises the preparation effort of Marines and Sailors aboard. The OPP detachment OIC reports directly to the OPP OIC, providing information relevant to the daily OPP SITREP.

## Tasks

Arrival and assembly organizations are a composite of personnel from the SLRP, OPP, and the advance party. The advance party is task-organized by the MAGTF commander and consists of personnel designated to form the nucleus of the arrival and assembly organizations. Primary tasks of the advance party are to arrange for the reception of the main body and MPSRON and provide force protection to the beach, port, airfield, and UAAs. At a minimum, the advance party consists of the LFSP (with personnel augments from the other MSEs), the entire NSE, and Marine, Navy, and Coast Guard force protection units. The advance party should arrive in the AAA on O-4 to prepare for the MPSRON's arrival on O-2 and NSE's preparations on Navy-day.

## Arrival And Assembly Operations Group

Each OPP detachment prepares all the MPSRON
ships' offload systems, lighterage, and embarked MPE/S for offload. The OPP's responsibilities include preparing the ships' cranes, winches, fuel/water discharge systems, and initial depreservation and preparation of MPE/S. The OPP must be thoroughly familiar with MPS configurations and load plans. Preparation of the ships' equipment and MPE/S to support the offload include

 Ship's cargo handling systems, such as cranes,
winches, slings, container handlers, the container loading system for the Logistics Vehicle System (LVS), fuel, and water discharge systems.
The AAOG's function is to coordinate and control arrival and assembly operations. It consists of personnel from all MAGTF elements plus liaison from the CNSE, EMF, and NMCB (see fig. 7-1 on page 7-4). Responsibilities of the AAOG include

 Lighterage.
 Monitor the airflow of the FIE into the AAA.
 NSE equipment for in-stream and beach offload (table of authorized materiel control numbers [TAMCNs] that start with "X").
 Coordinate and monitor the throughput and
distribution of MPE/S from the MPS to the UAAs, specifically the AAOEs within those areas.
 MHE and vehicles required to support the offload (TAMCNs that start with "B" and "D").
 All other equipment.
 Coordinate the association and configuration
of MPE/S with designated organizations.

## Disestablishment

 Provide initial command and control functions
for the MAGTF in the AAA.
 Direct and coordinate AAOE operations.
The OPP disestablishes upon arrival of MPSs and completion of offload preparations. Members remain aboard to form the nucleus of the debarkation team, augmented as required by MAGTF and NSE personnel who arrive with the FIE.

 Ramp allocation and aircraft parking.  ATC.

## Arrival And Assembly Operations Element

 Fuel storage and dispensing.  Aircraft rescue and firefighting.  Allocation of facilities and real estate.
Each element within the MAGTF and NSE establishes an AAOE to perform the following tasks:

 Flight clearance.  Airfield improvement.  NAVAIDS.
 Provide initial command and control activities
within their assembly areas until arrival of the
element commander.
 Arresting gear.  Airfield lighting.
 Obtain receipts for MPE/S and verify items
with the AAOG.
 Interface with the AACG.

## Landing Force Support Party

 Distribute MPE/S to unit equipment reception
points (ERPs) according to the MAGTF commander's distribution plan.
 Provide a liaison with the AAOG.  Coordinate security in UAAs.  Oversee preparations for combat.  Provide throughput reports to the AAOG as
directed in the arrival and assembly plan.

## Airfield Coordination Officer

The LFSP is a task-organized unit composed primarily of personnel and equipment from the LCE. The headquarters is usually sourced from that MLG's transportation support battalion (TSB) and NSE and augmented by other MAGTF elements. The LFSP controls the throughput of personnel and MPE/S at the port, beach, and airfield. The LFSP falls under the OPCON of the AAOG OIC (see fig. 7-2).

The ACO is designated by the MAGTF commander under the cognizance of the ACE and acts as the single POC for HNS and other support peculiar to aviation operations at the airfields. Non-AMC support requirements identified The four principal throughput organizations of the LFSP are the port operations group (POG), beach operations group (BOG), AACG, and MMCC.

under the overall direction of the LFSP and in coordination with the ship's debarkation officer (see fig. 7-3).

The functions of the POG are to

 Establish overflow areas for MPE/S.  Provide surge vehicle operators.  Establish communications with the LFSP and
ship's debarkation officer.
 Establish liaison with host nation port authorities for operations and MHE, longshoreman support, and dunnage.
 Provide MHE support, including shore-based
cranes, forklifts, tractors, dollies, or lighting.
 Assist Navy cargo handling force detachments
in ship offload as directed and transport cargo to overflow areas.
 Establish bulk fuel/water reception and transfer
facilities as directed.

## Port Operations Group

 Be prepared to continue port operations for follow-up shipping.

## Beach Operations Group

The POG is task-organized from the TSB's beach and terminal operations company and the Navy cargo handling force. The POG may be retained after arrival and assembly for the offload of follow-up or sustainment shipping and for retrograde of damaged equipment. It prepares the port before the MPS arrives and the throughput of MPE/S as they are offloaded. The POG operates The BOG is task-organized from TSB's landing support company and the NSE. It operates under the overall direction of the LFSP and in coordination with the OCU (see fig. 7-4, on page 7-6). It

may be retained after the arrival and assembly for the offload of follow-up or sustainment shipping. The functions of the BOG and associated NSE BPTs are to

 Provide the beach area command and control
for MPE/S throughput.
 Organize and develop the beach area to support
the MPE/S throughput, including designating
and establishing overflow areas.
The MMCC operates under the cognizance of the MDDOC during unit movement, force tracking, and maneuver/convoy planning. Its functions are to plan, validate, allocate, route, manage, prioritize, coordinate, and track all transportation issues. This support may include reception, staging, and onward movement of forces. See JP 3-35 for more information. The MMCC normally includes operations and logistic representation. Size and complexity of MPS arrival and assembly

 Coordinate the transfer of bulk liquids.  Offload lighterage at the beach.  Provide direction for drivers to move vehicles
from the lighterage off the beach.
 Provide surge vehicle operators.  Prepare for follow-up operations.

## Arrival Airfield Control Group

The AACG is responsible for the control and coordination of the offload of airlifted units and equipment and provides limited CSS to those units. It is task-organized around a nucleus provided by the landing support company of the TSB and is structured and staffed to provide continuous operational support for multiple aircraft. Normally, the AACG deploys with the advance party to initiate operations at the arrival airfield. The AACG coordinates with the LFSP and the CRG at the arrival airfield (see fig. 7-5).

operations determine the actual structure of the MMCC. Tasks of the MMCC include
NSE. Boat crews report to the OCO for ship and beaching assignments.

 Plan transportation support, develop policies,
provide guidance, and recommend movement priorities and procedures for movement control
and highway regulations guidance to the MDDOC.
The beach party group (BPG) and its BPTs are the NSE units responsible for beach operations. The BPG coordinates with the OCO and advises him about areas available for causeway/boat landings and transferring bulk liquids. The BPG, which may be TACON to the LFSP, coordinates with the BOG.

 Plan, coordinate, and oversee large or special
movements with the MDDOC.
 Issue convoy clearance for approved movements when delegated by the MDDOC.
 Provide highway movement planning assistance to the MDDOC to designate MSRs and
establish control measures to support the MAGTF commander's CONOPS.
For pierside offload operations, all is the same as for in-stream offload operations except there is no BPG required. Lighterage may be offloaded and placed ashore or in the water as directed by the OCO. Specifics on manpower requirements to support the offload of MSC and MPS is provided in JP 3-02.1.

 Coordinate movements with the FPO to ensure
appropriate security is in place.

## Port Operations Ship-To-Shore Movement

The CMPF is responsible for accomplishing the offload of MPE/S (in-stream or pierside). The OCU executes the offload, under the direction of the offload control officer (OCO), who reports to the CNSE. The CNSE coordinates with the AAOG for offload matters. The OIC of the OPP becomes the OCO upon arrival of the ship and completion of offload preparations.

Offload of the MPSRON in a port, especially simultaneous offloading of more than one ship, accelerates throughput. A port offload requires fewer personnel, reduces the potential for MPE/S damage or loss, and is far less susceptible to the effects of sea state and weather. It does, however, require more coordination with the host nation, which increases the likelihood of encountering restrictions on handling and transporting ammunition, POL, and hazardous cargo. Civilian ship traffic, labor unions, and general port congestion must also be considered. As a general comment, MPF deployment to a port with sufficient pier space and staging areas to accommodate the simultaneous pierside offload of an entire MPSRON is an unlikely scenario. Manpower required for such multiple offloads will very quickly overcome the MAGTF/NSE's personnel staffing.
For in-stream offload operations, the ship's debarkation officers report to the OCO. The ship's debarkation officer's responsibility is to coordinate the efforts of the Navy cargo handling detachment, Marine debarkation teams, and the lighterage control team to most efficiently offload each ship. The Navy cargo handling detachment will conduct the LO/LO while Marines conduct the roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) or move principal end items (PEIs) under the hatch square.

## Port Area

A port area is organized by the POG commander under overall direction of the LFSP commander.

Lighterage consists of improved Navy lighterage system (INLS), causeway ferries, warping tugs, and MPF utility boats that are maintained by the To offload, it may be necessary to establish port overflow areas within the port terminal. Overflow areas should be able to accommodate temporary staging and handling of MPE/S.

## Petroleum, Oils, And Lubricants And Ammunition

Ammunition and POLs should not be held in the port or port overflow areas. They should be transported directly to LCE storage sites. Ground ammunition goes to LCE storage sites and aviation ordnance goes to ACE storage sites.

## Port Authority

If the host nation's port authority is not functioning, the CMPF or SDDC assumes this responsibility. If the host nation's port authority is functioning, the CMPF designates a Navy port LNO to coordinate activity between the MPSRON and the host nation. The port LNO advises the port authority regarding cargo characteristics (including hazardous cargo) and offload requirements that may impact port activities. The port LNO also coordinates with HNS representatives on the following:

 Environmental data (tides, winds, obstructions), NAVAIDS, and harbor information required for safe operations.
 Berths/anchorages.  Tug/pilot services.  Firefighting services.  Pierside services.

## Beach Operations

A beach offload may be the only way to bring MPE/S ashore or a beach operation may be conducted with a port operation to accelerate the overall rate of discharge. The advantages of accelerated throughput must be weighed against the disadvantages inherent in beach operations.

Simultaneous beach and port operations significantly expand the size of the LFSP and NSE. A beach operation for an MPF operation is similar to the general offloading period of an amphibious operation. The overall consideration in beach organization is throughput of cargo to inland destinations. The BOG must make the best possible use of existing beach exits and hard surfaces available for staging and road networks. The proximity of existing bulk liquid storage or areas suitable for installation of amphibious bulk liquid transfer systems (ABLTSs) and means to transport bulk fluids (pipeline or tanker) to airfields must be considered. Trafficability across the beach to staging areas and roads must be evaluated. The beach must be organized to accommodate a number of landing points and to facilitate lighterage control. Normally, one colored beach is required for one MPSRON. Each colored beach is segmented into four num-bered beachesone each for wheeled vehicles, containers, tracked vehicles, and bulk liquids.

## Arrival Airfield Operations

The arrival airfield is located within the AAA and, ideally, in proximity to the offload port or beach. Arrival airfield operations must meet the concerns and requirements of the CRG, AACG, and ACO. Designation of offload ramps and holding areas are accomplished jointly by the CRG and AACG. Holding areas are established sufficiently clear of the offload ramps to avoid congestion and to support loading of passengers and equipment for further transport to assembly areas. Temporary facilities are established close to holding areas for medical and other support, such as portable toilets, shelter, or water, for arriving units. Facilities are also established for AACG and CRG support, such as command and control, communications, computers, billeting, and messing.

## Maritime Prepositioning Equipment And Supplies Distribution

is prepared for employment in accordance with the MAGTF commander's CONOPS. Force standup actions include

 Create consolidated memorandum receipts
(CMRs)
 Establish the COT and execute the MAGTF
container plan (see fig. 7-8 on page 7-11 for a notional COT).
 Prepare for reception, staging, onward movement, and integration.
 Distribute element/unit MPE/S in containers.
 Associate collateral equipment to PEIs/configure PEIs.
Effective execution of the distribution plan, as discussed in chapter 5, is paramount to maintaining accountability of MPE/S and ensuring items are delivered to the correct UAA and received by the AAOE. The AAOE conducts inventories and inspections of all designated MPE/S to ensure the element is ready for standup. The UAAs are geographic locations for the reception and employment preparation of MSE/NSE MPE/S (see fig. 7-6 on page 7-10).

 Conduct limited technical inspections (LTIs)
and operational checks of vehicles and equipment.

## Force Standup

 Boresight weapon systems.  Calibrate all equipment.  Perform required maintenance.  Perform standup logistic training and available
LCE to support tactical operations as required.
 Move FIE personnel and cargo to UAAs.  Establish potable water production capability.  Prepare runways for sustained operations. Prepare aircraft beddown sites.
Standup is a set of actions required to prepare units for operational missions. Force standup occurs after all arrival and assembly operations are completed and all MPE/S have been distributed to and received by the AAOEs in their UAAs. The AAOE is the command and control node for the UAA, which may have multiple ERPs for specific units of that MSE (see fig. 7-7 on page 7-10). Detailed planning by each MAGTF element is required so that the element

 Assemble EAF as necessary. Establish initial supply dumps.

## Chapter 8 Reconstitution

The fifth phase of MPF operations is reconstitution. It involves regenerating and replenishing the MPE/S to attain the prepositioning objective and re-establish the warfighting capability aboard the MPS as rapidly as possible upon completion of MAGTF employment operations. Reconstitution of the MPS may include replenishing equipment and supplies from CONUS.

Detailed planning for reconstituting the MPF is the responsibility of the designated MARFOR commander with the supporting establishment. Specific in theater reconstitution objectives and operational and logistical factors will ultimately influence the supported CCDR's guidance to the MARFOR. In addition to the supported CCDR's planning guidance, the Service headquarters provides its guidance to the Marine component commander to ensure that operational requirements in support of all CCDRs are considered in the planning effort. To assist the MARFOR in planning and coordinating, an executive coordination group (ECG) is established by HQMC
Deputy Commandant for Plans, Policies, and Operations (PP&O), with OPNAV Director, Expeditionary Warfare (N85), during initial MPS reconstitution planning. The ECG develops the framework for reconstituting the MPS and advises the MARFOR on the priorities of the Service headquarters. Reconstitution is fully complete once MPSRONs redeploy, reintegrating with and completing their MMC.

## Section I. A Total Process

Reconstitution includes planning, establishing a command and control structure, developing and maintaining supply lines, assembling supporting personnel and equipment, deployment, site development, coordination, redeployment, and completing the process at BICmd (see fig. 8-1). It could also include reorganizing forces, redistributing resources, and regenerating and replenishing equipment and supplies needed to fully execute reconstitution operations. Reconstitution focuses on those efforts in theater to rebuild the MPF capability with in theater resources for a specific time (normally not exceeding 6 months) and may include limited replenishment from CONUS to achieve the CCDRs' and MARFOR's readiness objectives. Extensive replenishment of MPE/S will primarily take place in CONUS during the MMC process. It may take 3 to 5 years after a major regional conflict to fully reconstitute the entire MPF. Reconstitution is conducted in two distinct phasesplanning and execution.

## Phase IPlanning

 Coordinate with MARFOR and CCDR staffs
affected by the MPF employment to develop future requirements and review reconstitution objectives.
The planning phase comprises three stages predeployment, post-employment, and transition to execution.

 Source the ECG members to report for planning to the senior member of the ECG (PP&O, Operations Division).

## Stage IPredeployment

The predeployment stage begins with establishing the ECG, followed by, at a minimum, the following actions:

 Coordinate with PP&O reconstitution and
redeployment planning team to ensure that priorities for MPF reconstitution and guidance in theater and outside the AOR and CONUS are included in the HQMC planning guidance message.
 Review ECG structure, working groups, membership, objectives, and tasks.
 Recommend changes to the MMC to the Deputy Commandant, PP&O, and associated changes to ship's maintenance and hull certifications to MSC (through PP&O) as required.
 Develop a reconstitution liaison support team
(RLST) battle roster of members to deploy in the theater of operations to support the MARFOR with reconstitution planning and coordination requirements. Details on the organization and tasks of the RLST are discussed
later in this chapter.
 Hold an initial planning conference (IPC) to
develop timelines and initiate coordination of requirements with the designated MARFOR.
 Coordinate with CCDR to request MARFOR
decisions on locations for reconstitution backload, maintenance, washdown, and staging areas. The IPC is designed to collectively review doctrine, refine procedures, and begin initial reconstitution planning at the Service headquarters and supporting establishment levels based on initial MARFOR input.

## Stage IiPost-Employment

 Develop and publish reconstitution planning
guidance message based on CNO/Commandant
of the Marine Corps guidance (see app. S).
 Schedule an IPC to review options, recommendations, and initial planning guidance.
Once the MPF employs and is conducting MAGTF operations ashore, the ECG coordinates coordination of the reconstitution of the MPS. During this stage, the ECG and RLST must

the mid-planning conference (MPC). The MPC is usually held before terminating MAGTF operations. It marks the end of advance planning and the beginning of operational planning and execution. Conference participants bring an assessment of their reconstitution capabilities and requirements. The MARFOR's representative brings the proposed retrograde plan and a summary of operational considerations, which may impact reconstitution operations. Actions required during the MPC include the following:

 Review and validate MPF operational and
logistic requirements.
 Establish the composition of support personnel to include MEF LNOs and Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) PM representatives for deployment to reconstitution sites.
 Schedule the MPC in CONUS or in theater
(depending on anticipated required timeline) to accomplish the following:
 Prepare sourcing and prepositioning objective
attainment strategies for MPF reconstitution. Attainment is the process of assembling the
quantity required of an item from new acquisitions, the stores' systems, or unit tables of equipment.
 Review the amount of MPE/S from the MPS
and the impact on attainment planning factors.
 Develop plans, orders, and LOIs.
 Review MPE/S usage and damage reports to
plan the overall attainment timeline.
Reconstitution liaison support team coordinates with the MARFOR and CCDR's staff to prepare for deployment into the theater of operations. This deployment supports on-site planning and

 Review/validate the established prepositioning objective and recommend changes for future prepositioning objectives based on attainment, fielding, and acquisition factors.
 Review HQMC published guidance on the
overall redeployment, deactivation, and reconstitution plan to verify its possible impact on MPS reconstitution, such as available units.
 Review the list of equipment to be returned
to the MPF reconstitution area, required equipment condition codes, unit equipment preparation responsibilities, and locations to which equipment must be returned so the SPMAGTF/LCE can prepare to reconstitute aboard the MPS.
 Review MPS and MPSRON priorities for reconstitution within the context of other requirements, such as assets for follow-on missions, MEUs, equipment redeploying back to home station, theater sustainment stocks, and other prepositioned assets.
 Establish
MARCORLOGCOM
support
composition, to include BICmd TAAT, for deployment to the reconstitution site.
 Review the sourcing and organization for the
reconstitution elements, such as SPMAGTF/ LCE (see app. T for notional tables of organization and equipment [TOEs]).

## Stage IiiTransition To Execution

Stage III begins with establishing a designated redeployment day (R-day) when MARFOR and NAVFOR units may begin reconstitution. Before the first MPSs can be backloaded with MPE/S, they must be prepared for long-term storage. At least 60 days of preparation activities, such as maintenance, cleaning, level-A packaging, and preservation, will likely occur before the first ships' MPE/S are staged and ready for backload, which usually takes place between R-day and R+60. The MARFOR then schedules a final planning conference (FPC) in theater once R-day is established to accomplish the following:

 Review the redeployment timeline and impact
to reconstitution operations.
 Develop a final timeline and estimated completion dates for reconstitution of the MPS in theater with assistance of the RLST. This plan
requires final approval from the MARFOR in coordination with the CCDR and Service headquarters.

 Finish preparing staging, washdown maintenance, and warehousing sites.
 Review and submit critical, high demand, support equipment requirements to the MAGTF LCE. Examples of such equipment are LVS, MHE, container-handling equipment (CHE), and generators.
 Review available equipment from CONUS
(MARCORLOGCOM and Naval Facilities
Engineering Command [NAVFAC]) and determine the impact on the timeline and on the last date to ship assets from CONUS.
 Review the overall process, including
 MPE/S turn-in, receipt, and inventory procedures.
 Advance lists of equipment to be returned to
the reconstitution sites.
 Required MPE/S condition codes.  Unit responsibilities for the preparation of
MPE/S for turn-in locations.
Reconstitution differs from redeployment in purpose and scope, both in terms of the redeployment of the MAGTF and the redeployment of the MPSRONs. During the reconstitution phase, units no longer involved in the MAGTF employment mission either redeploy or are reassigned to support the reconstitution mission. These concurrent, mutually supporting actions call for detailed integration in planning and execution to ensure adequate personnel remain in theater to assist in the MPF reconstitution effort.

## Phase IiExecution

Reconstitution occurs outside and within CONUS. Depending on force protection, available infrastructure, number of MPSRONs being reconstituted, and reconstitution asset locations, OCONUS execution may occur in locations outside the AOR and include CONUS
from CONUS occurs for those assets that MAR- CORLOGCOM and NAVFAC can transport into the AOR within the reconstitution timeline. Assets may also be available in theater. The operational/ redeployment timeline, directed by the supported CCDR, will ultimately determine the extent and duration of in theater reconstitution.

efforts that could expand beyond BICmd. When planning for reconstitution, regeneration, and replenishment actions, the MMC process must be fully integrated with the overarching plan to ensure seamless attainment of the prepositioning objective. The RLST ensures this process transitions from in theater operations to CONUS.

## Stage IiContinental United States (Blount Lsland Command)

Note: Transition continues until all the
MPSs are integrated with the MMC schedule
and the normal maintenance and hull certifi-
cation process is underway. A repositioning
of prepositioned capabilities aboard MPS
must also support global operational re-
quirements that cross CCDR AORs if more
than one MPSRON is used to support
MAGTF operations ashore.

## Stage IOutside Continental United States (In Theater)

The COMMARCORLOGCOM is designated by HQMC as the executive agent to coordinate the reconstitution of Navy and Marine Corps MPE/S
in CONUS and support reconstitution requirements OCONUS. The BICmd is the executive agent for MARCORLOGCOM for the maintenance and readiness of MPE/S. Fiscal, intertheater airlift/sealift, storage facilities, labor, and equipment production are all variables that influence the selection of reconstitution sites. Past operations show that the most effective reconstitution in CONUS occurs at BICmd with depot-level repairs at Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, GA, and support from the Defense Logistics Agency.

The supported CCDR designates the Marine component commander in the AOR to reconstitute the MPF. A SPMAGTF or LCE performs the functions to reconstitute the MPE/S to its preconflict status or a designated operational readiness status. During reconstitution, replenishment of assets

## Section Iii. The Executive Coordination Group

The ECG is an O-6-/GS-15-level group, led by an O-6, established with representatives from HQMC, OPNAV, the operating forces, and the Navy and Marine Corps supporting establishments to promulgate reconstitution planning guidance. The ECG reports to the Marine Corps Requirements Oversight Council/Navy Requirements, Resources, Review Board, as required, to update Navy and Marine Corps leadership on all reconstitution efforts. Reconstitution planning guidance is promulgated to the MARFOR/NAVFOR/NAVAIRSYSCOM
to assist in planning and executing the reconstitution of the MPE/S aboard MPSRONs. The ECG is established by HQMC (Deputy Commandant, PP&O) with OPNAV N85 to provide oversight of the reconstitution planning process and remain active during actual reconstitution operations. Figure 8-2 illustrates the ECG membership.

The ECG establishes an RLST to deploy to the theater of operations to help the MARFOR coordinate and plan the MPS reconstitution. The RLST serves as a liaison to the Service headquarters for any additional guidance. The ECG and RLST remain active throughout planning and execution until reconstitution is completed in theater and transitions to the MMCC under the control of the MDDOC. Planning will normally begin in CONUS and then transition to the theater of operations. The ECG will be established when one or more of the following occurs:

 A Marine component commander requests that HQMC establish the ECG to
assist in planning.
 Detailed MPF planning begins to support potential contingency or combat
operations.
 MPF operations start.
Once the ECG is established, an IPC is conducted by HQMC and OPNAV to review and establish working groups; assign lead agencies; review goals, objectives, and procedures; and develop initial planning guidance.

## Reconstitution Liaison Support Team

all MPF program policy and requirements (see fig. 8-4 on page 8-14). The RLST considers the following factors in its planning process:

 Key personnel are identified in a battle roster.  Augments, such as MARFOR/MEF LNOs, are
called forward.
 The RLST deploys before MPE/S offload to
assist in reconstitution planning.
The RLST is an O-5-/GS-14-level and below group, headed by a colonel O-6, consisting of deployable members from the ECG and respective groups in support of in theater reconstitution. It focuses on areas that require strategic- and operational-level planning and coordination to ensure the MPSRONs are reconstituted to their original prepositioning objective or designated readiness/attainment levels (see fig. 8-3).

 Select RLST members attend MPF professional military education.
 Select RLST members participate in at least
one MPF exercise each year.
 The supported command provides infrastructure support to the RLST (see app. V for requirements).
The RLST addresses the following tasks:
The purpose of the RLST is to facilitate reconstitution by providing on-site expertise in MPF policy, logistic chain, and total life cycle management.

 Coordinate hazardous materials (HAZMAT)
disposal.

## Navy Support Element (Navy Subcell)

The NSE subcell is led by the NBG and must

 Identify NSE reconstitution funding requirements.
 Develop a reconstitution organization.  Develop a long-term staffing rotation plan.  Identify execution functions to support NSE
reconstitution, including addressing Navy lighterage issues, such as repair and maintenance. Navy lighterage should be returned to and reloaded on the same MPF ship from
which it was offloaded. Powered Navy lighterage should be fueled/defueled as appropriate.

 Ensure NBG communications equipment is
repacked and returned to MPF ships or FIE storage (non-MPF) and that communications
gear is removed from CESE and Navy lighterage.
 Coordinate washdown and agricultural inspections of NSE gear.
 Coordinate disposal of all HAZMAT.
 Ensure that key NSE capability sets, including
in-stream offload and beach support operations to support the MEU's portion of the capability package, or its "slice," remain intact and are ready for backload on MPF flagships and
alternate flagships. The NSE must designate an inventory management agent from the inception of operations.
 Plan for the procurement of long lead-time
items.
 Arrange for supercargo personnel to accompany NSE equipment.
 Address attainment of NSE equipment, including estimating required spares and replacing
consumables used during MPF operations;
ensure adequate packing and crating arrangements are made.

## Fiscal Cell

The fiscal cell is led by the deputy commandants for Programs and Resources and I&L (LPO-3 [Strategic Logistics and Mobility Team]). Its tasks are to

 Maintain and upgrade equipment to RFI
condition of NSE CESE that is part of the table of allowance for NSE equipment (T/A-55) loaded aboard the MPS, including conducting JLTIs, reassociating collateral equipment stock list 3 (SL-3), and identifying depot-level repair requirements.

packing, packaging, and preservation (PP&P) of all T/A-55 tent camp support equipment, including its segregation by MPSRON.
 Prepare and distribute funding guidance as
required.
 Ensure NBG CSWs are repacked and ready for
reloading on MPS.

## Section Iv. Execution Organizations And Functions Marine Corps Forces

agricultural/customs inspections and the backload aboard the MPS.

## Host Nation Support

For speed and economy, the use of HNS and contracting should be maximized. The quality and availability of the HNS depends on the nature of the operation, willingness of the host nation to lend assistance, and host nation resources.

## Staging Area

A SPMAGTF or LCE is usually assigned as the MARFOR's executive agent for reconstitution, while the CMPF coordinates Navy requirements. This responsibility is realized by the participation of the MPF MAGTF LCE in planning, establishing the reconstitution site/CSSA, and maintaining the MPE/S during the MPF
MAGTF's employment operation. The actual reconstitution SPMAGTF/LCE task-organizes personnel from units in theater, units not deployed, or a combination of both. The scope of the reconstitution efforts and personnel rotation/
redeployment plan influences the unit/personnel makeup of the SPMAGTF/LCE.

Selecting an efficient staging area contributes significantly to the overall effectiveness of the reconstitution process. The following criteria are used by the SLRP to evaluate the AAA and may be used when choosing a reconstitution site:

 Staging area layout.  MPS configuration.

Note: The reconstitution LCE, when as-
signed, should not be confused with the MPF
MAGTF LCE as it focuses specifically on re-
constitution. The MPF MAGTF LCE is re-
sponsible for logistical support and
redeployment of the MPF MAGTF.

 Security.  Location.  HNS availability.

## Reconstitution Letter Of Instruction

 Power and communications requirements.  Vehicle access to the site.  Equipment washdown and USDA inspection
area.
 Availability of transportation and MHE.  Waste disposal requirements and availability
of waste disposal facilities.
 Availability of maintenance and replenishment facilities.
 MPE/S database entry and accountability
checkpoints.
Based on HQMC policy guidance and the priority of the reconstitution effort, the MARFOR will publish an operational-level LOI. The LOI should outline available reconstitution areas, facilities, timelines, subordinate unit task organization, general MPE/S turn-in guidance to operating units, force protection, and theater limitations. This HQMC guidance may include the redeployment, deactivation, and reconstitution of all forces following a major operation.

 Ammunition handling and storage requirements.
 Proximity to a suitable airstrip.  Remote area requirement for AGSE.  Availability of temporary shelter.
Once the SPMAGTF/LCE is assigned, it will publish a tactical-level LOI to task subordinate units and outline specific processes for MPE/S, such as receipt, maintenance mobile loading, containerization, movement, washdown, staging,

 Container yard requirements.

## Safety Waste Management

Factors that negatively affect safety during reconstitution in the AOR are

 Large amounts of equipment and ammunition
on hand.
 Unknown condition of the equipment.  Varying levels of skill among operators, technicians, and host nation personnel.
 Limited supervisor knowledge of assigned subordinates' characters and expertise.
Media attention and environmental oversight call for corrective measures/actions to safeguard public health. The NAVFOR should demonstrate a concern for the environment of the host country, its inhabitants, and the health of all personnel. As a result of recent court cases, US personnel may be charged for violations of US environmental regulations committed on foreign soil. In the absence of specific guidance, the following steps instruct personnel to:

 Expeditionary conditions in the AOR.
 Time constraints.
 Declare any hazardous waste or HAZMAT off
limits.
 Physically segregate or barricade questionable
material.
 Properly mark material using English and host
nation languages.
 Notify appropriate agencies or headquarters to
obtain assistance.
 Be certain to follow host nation laws if they are
stricter than military regulations.
When convened, the HSS planning group promulgates safety precautions and conducts safety training for personnel executing reconstitution. Personal involvement, emphasis on safety by commanders, effective training, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by all personnel will improve safety. All personnel are considered to be safety observers and must understand the principles of activity risk assessment and management, which instructs personnel to

 Determine the hazards involved in the planned
activity.
 Assess the risks.  Determine the impact the activity may have on
safety; assess the probability of an accident.
 Pay attention! Even hazards with low mishap
probability may have very serious consequences.
The SPMAGTF/LCE should have a person assigned and trained as a HAZMAT officer. This officer, in concert with the establishing authority's safety or HSS personnel, should plan for any HAZMAT contingencies that may arise. Solutions to HAZMAT problems and its disposal, though interim in nature, should realistically accommodate the regulations of the host nation. If host nation or international agencies cannot provide prompt action to safeguard the health of US forces and the general public, assistance should be requested through the chain of command.

 Make risk decisions. There are risks in every
evolution; proper planning can reduce them to an acceptable level.
 Develop controls. There are three types of
controls: engineered (best), administrative (less effective), and personal protection (least desirable).
For a further discussion on safety standards, see Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 5100.19, Navy Occupational Safety and Health (SOH) Program Manual for Forces Afloat:

 Volume I, SOH and Major Hazard-Specific
Programs.
 Volume II, *Surface Ship Safety Standards.*
 Implement and enforce controls. How often are
the controls evaluated and who is responsible for enforcement? Because situations change, the objective is to continually identify and assess risks, make risk decisions, implement controls, supervise, and provide feedback.
 Volume III, *Submarine Safety Standards*.

## Commander, Maritime Prepositioning Force

The SPMAGTF/LCE reviews MPSRON ship load planning considerations, including applicable federal maritime regulatory requirements and the requirements for the dangerous cargo manifest. It also assesses the condition of equipment and supplies. During initial reconstitution planning, the designated MARFOR (MLG for training exercises) in charge of planning and executing reconstitution of the MPF provides a MARFOR-led SPMAGTF/LCE planning cell to support the ECG OPT. Members include SPMAGTF/LCE
planners, MARFOR/MEF, NBG, NECC, and NCF representatives.

The CMPF has OPCON over all NAVFOR and MSC assigned to the reconstitution effort, except those NAVFOR that are assigned to the SPMAGTF/LCE. The CMPF acts as the senior Navy representative and is responsible for ensuring that NSE, NCE, and EMF reconstitution efforts comply with the overall plan. In addition to Marine Corps units, the SPMAGTF/LCE commander may have OPCON over the NCE based on designated locations and overall structure/
requirements. The CMPF has OPCON over the NSE and the EMF at the reconstitution site. Responsibilities of the CMPF are to

 Coordinate airlift of those OPCON NSE, NCE,
and EMF forces required for reconstitution with the SPMAGTF/LCE commander.
Cell objectives are to coordinate planning guidance from COMMARFOR, the Navy fleet commander, and the CCDR's staff with the ECG OPT. During the execution phase, the SPMAGTF/LCE provides an LNO to the RLST to coordinate resolution of issues as required. This cell also

 Coordinate the phased arrival of NAVFOR in
support of reconstitution; ensure effective control measures are in place within the AOR to maintain appropriate levels of accountability.
 Designate the SSO until in theater reconstitution completes.
 Coordinate termination of the reconstitution
with the SPMAGTF/LCE commander.
 Develops an LOI in conjunction with the
TAAT to provide detailed guidance on the processes required to complete in theater reconstitution.
 Assists in developing a timeline for reconstitution.
 Ensure all Navy assets are returned to the
appropriate MPS as outlined in the MPSRON's spreadload plan.
 Determines covered and open lot staging
requirements for area and volume.
 Determines warehouse space requirements for
storage of consumables.

## Reconstitution Special Purpose Magtf/Logistics Combat Element

LTI schedule to receive equipment from the operating forces.
 Determines maintenance requirements.
The reconstitution SPMAGTF/LCE taskorganizes to support those functions outlined in MARFOR reconstitution LOI. Not all functions will take place in theater due to possible restrictions placed on the MARFOR component commander by the CCDR. These restrictions may limit the amount of time allowed for reconstitution in theater and may defer it to a more secure or supportable environment (see app. T).

Technical assistance and advisory team taskorganizes from military and civilian personnel assigned to MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd). It provides the MARFOR and SPMAGTF/LCE with the technical assistance and expertise to reconstitute the MPE/S. The TAAT is OPCON to the MARFOR and is in direct support of the

## Section V. Planning Guidance

Reconstitution planning guidance is published by HQMC with OPNAV to provide Service-level guidance to reconstitute a globally capable MPF.

Guidance is normally published in defense message system (DMS) format to the MARFOR conducting reconstitution operations (see app. S). This guidance is often published as part of the overarching reconstitution guidance for all Marine Corps units. The initial draft is developed by the ECG/OPT and coordinated with the MARFOR and the CCDR's staff.

## Prioritization

policies in Marine Corps Order (MCO) P3000.17, Maritime Prepositioning Force Planning and Policy Manual.

## Planning Goals

Once the order to execute the reconstitution is issued, technical advisory experts arrive in theater for the MPC or FPC if MPC is held in CONUS. Successful reconstitution requires that priorities for acquisition, equipment maintenance, and supply preparation must be established as soon as possible. This prioritization helps ensure that items are ready to be loaded as required, which is critical until the last MPS is loaded and reconstitution is completed.

## Deferred Reconstitution

As a result of consumption, damage, and destruction of MPE/S, prepositioning objective attainment in theater will likely be less than it would be if accomplished at BICmd. With less than a full complement of the prepositioning objective, decisions affecting the global prepositioning of the prepositioning objective should be made by the ECG. The RLST, as the in theater representative for the ECG, coordinates global prepositioning/ distribution of the prepositioning objective with affected operating forces, supporting establishment, and Service headquarters. Examples of short- and long-range prepositioning objective goals are to

 Perform operational and intermediate maintenance on equipment before backload.
 Attain the prepositioning objective in Class V
ammunition while in theater.
Following the MAGTF employment operation, the COMMARFOR may recommend deferring reconstitution until the MPS returns to CONUS
or moves to an alternate location. The recommendation for deferment should be forwarded to the supported CCDR with a copy to HQMC. The CJCS issues additional direction, including possible partial reconstitution at an interim maintenance site.

 Attain the prepositioning objective for Class III
supplies within six months of departure from the AOR.

## Headquarters, Marine Corps Operations Division Unit And Personnel Requirements

The MPF prepositioning objective provides a list of all equipment and supplies to be embarked aboard MPS by COMPSRONs 1, 2, and 3. It provides information for MPE/S acquisition, deployment planning, and procedures to support the Supporting units and personnel are designated in the reconstitution LOI and additional requirements are promulgated by separate messages. The

## Guidelines For Maritime Prepositioned Equipment/Supplies

SPMAGTF/LCE provides most personnel, while other personnel in the AOR fall into the following four categories:

## Custody

 Military personnel who participated in the
operation.
 Follow-on military personnel who did not participate in the operation.
 Civilian contractors.  Other nonmilitary persons. To reduce messing
and billeting requirements, personnel redeploy when they are no longer required.
In accordance with MCO P3000.17, the MPF MAGTF commander is accountable for MPE/S once offloaded. United States Marine Corps Technical Manual 4790-14/2C, Logistics Support for Maritime Prepositioning Ship (MPS) Program Maintenance and Materiel Management, contains useful custody guidance, including

 Unit commanders are accountable for MPF
equipment assigned to their units.

## Funding Availability And Requirements

 Equipment inducted into the intermediate
maintenance cycle becomes the responsibility of the maintenance activity.
 The SPMAGTF/LCE accounts for items on
MDSS II.
 Subordinate units of MSEs conduct a JLTI and
inventory of all MPE/S with the MSE before turnover in the UAAs.
 Before MPE/S turn-in by the MSE, a complete
JLTI and inventory of all MPE/S must be conducted between the MSE and the SPMAGTF/ LCE in the reconstitution assembly area.
Funding availability and requirements and fiscal guidance and responsibility vary substantially depending on how MPE/S are employed by the MAGTF. Headquarters, Marine Corps (Programs and Resources), NAVAIRSYSCOM, NAVFAC, and the OPNAV resource sponsors provide fiscal guidance. The level of equipment damage and number of repairs necessary and supplies consumed by the operating forces influence the fiscal guidance and level of funding. The following guidelines should be used when developing reconstitution funding requirements:

 Unit commanders are responsible for the
accountability of Class V items until turned in to the SPMAGTF/LCE. The SPMAGTF/LCE is accountable for those items until they are turned in to BICmd.
 Within the AORGenerally, the MARFOR/
NAVFOR assigned reconstitution responsibility fund host nation/in theater costs, including repair parts, messing and billeting, port costs, wharves and dockage, and stevedore contracting requirements.
The success of locating sources of supplies and equipment and the level of attainment readiness depends on work accomplished by the attainment planning group. Attainment responsibilities are listed in MCO P3000.17 and COMMARCOR- LOGCOM is the executive agent for attainment sourcing priorities. Considerations for optimal sourcing and attainment readiness include the following:

 In CONUSWhen MPE/S require intensive
maintenance, reconstitution will be funded by COMMARCORLOGCOM and accomplished at BICmd. The NAVAIRSYSCOM funds AGSE requirements and NAVFAC funds NSE and NCF requirements.
 MPF reaching its desired mission capability
status as defined by the supported CCDR.
 The prepositioning objective measuring the
attainment to be reached on all MPSRONs as they plan for the MMC.
Table 8-1, on page 8-28, shows funding considerations and the organizations responsible for specific funding requirements.

 HQMC promulgating logistic guidance for
redeployment.
 COMMARCORLOGCOM directing handling
of pre-staged war reserve stocks.
 Issuing instructions by COMMARFOR (AOR)
for use of defense reutilization and marketing
office facilities as an alternate source.
 Redeploying operating forces unit MPE/S
according to the prepositioning objective.

## Hazardous Materials

Care must be taken when loading HAZMAT
cargo. Provisions in the Department of Transportation's Hazardous Materials Regulations (see US Code, Title 49, *Transportation*) and exemptions granted in accordance with Naval Surface Warfare Center Technical Report 91-630, ESQD Arcs for Maritime Prepositioning Ships, should be reviewed carefully. Any exemptions granted provide relief only from the requirement of the hazardous materials regulations specifically cited; all other requirements must be met. The MPS ships' masters will normally have the hazardous materials regulations and applicable exemptions available for review.

## Maintenance

Equipment preparation requirements in this section are essential because there is no certainty that an MPS will complete its MMC before another commitment. For maximum operational readiness, maintenance and reconstitution are accomplished in the AOR as much as possible. The TAAT provides assistance with maintenance planning and execution. Based on the results of the unit commander's LTI, the following minimum maintenance should be performed on all equipment before loading:

 Change fluids.  Replace all filters.  Check batteries; replace as needed.
 Replace water coolant with 50/50 antifreeze
mixtures.
 Fuel vehicles to three-fourths of a tank or 110
gallons, whichever is less; add biocide as needed.
Additional maintenance requirements will depend on the condition of equipment returned and the results of the LTIs. The using unit for the equipment will accomplish the following:

 Complete a thorough LTI.  Document corrective maintenance required to
attain mission-capable status on equipment.
 Complete order forms for repair parts.  Complete washdown and steam clean, as
required.
 Satisfy
USDA
and
customs
inspections
requirements.

## Selective Interchange

Selective interchange to support mission accomplishment is one of many options for maintaining equipment readiness. Due to the adverse effect on MPF readiness and increased costs, selective interchange should be regarded as the last alternative. Authority to approve selective interchange should be at the MARFOR level. Commanders must consider the long-range impact and operational consequences and balance these against their immediate supply requirements before forwarding such requests.

## Navy Equipment And Supplies

Coordination for reconstitution of Navy equipment and supplies should be accomplished by Navy cell members with assistance from NAV- FOR/MARFOR and the SPMAGTF/LCE. Timing is critical because the backload of the MPS is not normally possible until reconstitution of the MAGTF is complete. Planning and execution of this portion of the reconstitution must be accomplished as early as possible. Navy equipment should be embarked according to the load plan and prepositioning objective. Lighterage repair may require the capability to dry-dock or lift craft from the water to accomplish structural and mechanical repairs to bring lighterage to a mission-ready status.

## Aviation Ground Support Equipment

Reconstitution of AGSE is accomplished by a combined Marine/civilian contractor field team with a Marine officer assigned as the team's OIC.

Depending on the objective and guidance provided, the team may be able to reconstitute all AGSE in the AOR. The only task not normally within the capability of a fully outfitted field team is equipment calibration.

## Loading

Equipment and supplies designated for an MPS shall be loaded by an NCHB (or other designated organization) and individual MPS crews according to the ship's loading plan. The NCHB coordinates with members of the SPMAGTF/LCE to ensure that proper load distribution, weight, and ships' trim and stability thresholds are maintained.

## Containers

Containers become tempting objects for other uses besides transportation and storage. Consequently, MPS container shortages could exist during reconstitution. To ensure availability, COMMARCORLOGCOM or Commander, NAVAIRSYSCOM (for EAF containers) has been assigned ownership and accountability of all MPF containers. Following arrival and assembly, all containers are staged in a secure area or, at the discretion of COMMARFOR, staged on available MPSs.

Note: Containers staged on an MPS may not be available when needed if the MPS is operating in the common user sealift pool.

Staged containers may be used for alternate purposes on approval of COMMAR- CORLOGCOM; however, strict accountability of all containers should be maintained. Appropriate consideration must be given to maintaining the material condition of containers designated for alternate uses. Containers should be loaded according to the approved load plan with the assistance of TAAT and NCHB. Those containers required at the earliest stages of the arrival and assembly phase should be readily accessible when needed.

## Force Protection

The CCDR is responsible for security but normally delegates this responsibility to the commander of the MARFOR within the AOR during reconstitution. The NAVFOR/JFMCC is responsible for internal security of living quarters, workspaces, staging areas, and loading areas. Assigning additional security responsibilities to NAVFOR/JFMCC may detract from efficient reconstitution functioning. Simultaneous requirements for security at numerous locations, such as an APOE, SPOE, washdown sites, and staging areas, will exceed the capabilities of Navy personnel and require coordination with external agencies. Security forces, other than internal security forces defined in the reconstitution table of organization, will be provided from all available sources as directed by MARFOR (AOR). External security support may be provided by the Army, multinational forces, HNS, and other NAVFOR/JFMCC. Security for the reconstitution phase should be assured before completing the MPF MAGTF's retrograde plan. Transfer of responsibility for security should be explained in the OPLAN/ OPORD. Security considerations are based on current intelligence. All plans, force assignments, and turnovers should be completed before moving equipment and supplies to a staging area and considerations should be made regarding

 Antiterrorist measures.  Shipboard internal security.  Security at the APOE, SPOE, staging area, and
remote sites.

## Section Vi. Washdown And Inspections

Before the backload, all MPE/S must be washed and inspected if the offload occurred OCONUS. Inspections include a US Customs/USDA post washdown inspection and a Coast Guard hull certification inspection. Both inspections require a substantial amount of planning, personnel, and coordination. Coordination and liaison may be required between Services, agencies, units, and the host nation. Reconstitution can become very difficult if the washdown and inspections are not properly planned or properly executed. The MARFOR develop a comprehensive plan for the washdown. A corresponding LOI published by the SPMAGTF/LCE details the process. The following planning guidance is provided to assist the MARFOR and the SPMAGTF/LCE:

 Provide a certification in writing of MPE/S that will not be included in the
washdown. List equipment and supplies by shipboard stowage areas.
 Negotiate host nation agreements for adequate freshwater washdown facilities at the desired washdown site.
 Designate the washdown OIC of the SPMAGTF/LCE.  Execute washdown operations and provide technical advice.  Follow inspection and cleaning procedures outlined in applicable regulations,

all roads in between. The amount of hardstand needed will vary with the number of vehicles and time available.

The NAVFOR provides the inspection team, which consists of one military entomologist and two preventive medicine technicians for a MEU- size washdown and at least double the requirement for an entire MPSRON.

## Establishing Site Criteria

The actual washdown area should have at least 130 feet on either end of the washrack assembly and 50 feet on either side. The mobile load cleaning and staging area should be at least 80 feet wide and 330 feet long. The size needed for clean vehicle staging depends on how soon the backload can begin. If vehicle and cargo decks onboard ship must be cleaned before backload can occur, then a staging area that can hold about 250 vehicles, including prime movers and towed loads, will be needed. Vehicles must not become recontaminated during backload.

To properly execute a washdown, the chosen site must have hardstand, a hard surface which, even when wet, will not allow soil to transfer to the tires of the clean vehicles. Areas where hardstand is absolutely essential are those associated with actual washing of vehicles, the areas for vehicles and equipment awaiting backload, and support a total load of 45,000 pounds. Locallymanufactured washracks must be weight tested and certified before use.

## Cleaning And Inspection Procedures

Approximately 250,000 gallons of water are needed for a MEU-sized force with 300 wheeled vehicles, including prime movers and towed loads. Water pressure should be checked to ensure that 212-inch fire hoses can operate at a minimum recommended pressure of 90 pounds per square inch. Adverse weather can delay or interrupt a washdown. A physician familiar with cold weather medicine should be consulted before a washdown is scheduled where the effective temperature, including wind chill factors, might fall below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

The cleaning and inspection program in theater does not preclude a USDA inspection upon return to CONUS; however, it does contribute significantly in minimizing delays at the port of entry. Adherence to guidelines set forth in applicable publications for inspections standards is crucial.

The following washdown procedures apply:

## Selecting Washracks

 Conduct a backload/washdown conference for
the commander, NAVFOR, COMMARFOR, SPMAGTF/LCE, COMPSRONs, and USDA inspectors.
 Emphasize organization and training of washdown crews.
 Identify essential equipment required for washdown operations and plan to reembark it last.
 Equipment and supplies that did not go ashore
need to be staged in a noncontaminated area. Inspectors should check these areas during the early stages of washdown operations.
 Move contaminated vehicles (except tanks),
equipment, and supplies to the washdown site.
The design and number of washracks largely determine the speed at which washdown operation can be conducted. The number of washracks depends on time available. The washdown operation proceeds at an average rate of one vehicle for each individual washrack for each hour of daylight. The washdown site should have a minimum of 20 wheeled vehicle and 10 tracked vehicle washracks for each MPSRON. This number could double when reconstituting two or more MPSRONs and redeploying organizational equipment. Each MPS has washracks stored on the weather decks that can be used for exercises as well as contingencies.

 Vehicle drivers/assistant drivers must remain
with assigned vehicles/mobile loads throughout the washdown.
 Stage containers and palletized supplies in a
pest-free area for cleaning.
 Move vehicles to a washing station as determined by inspectors.
 Reload material from mobile loads aboard
clean vehicles and back load the clean vehicles and supplies upon final inspection.
If washracks are not available, they can be manufactured from steel "I" beams. Two "I" beams (20
to 25 feet long with one end elevated 12 feet)
should be spaced apart no more than 5 feet and no less than 412 feet and secured by two lateral braces to make one washrack. Beams should rest with the flanges at the sides to form a track for vehicle wheels. Each washrack must be able to

The following preparatory procedures apply for USDA inspections:
Note: Steam may remove valuable protective coatings.

 Sweep/vacuum the vehicle cab and all storage
and tool compartments before arriving at the washrack.
 Remove and clean the battery and battery box.
Replace batteries as required.
 For tracked vehicles, remove all soil from

treads are not recontaminated before backloading.
 Remove the outside dual wheels and spare tires
and place them in the back for later cleaning at
the washrack.
 Remove all padlocks, seat cushions, detachable
sideboards, canvas sides/tops, and any personal
gear brought ashore; leave them at the mobile load staging area.
 Clean containers and pallets, including all
boxes and equipment. Break down pallet loads if necessary. Padlocked boxes must be inspected. Personnel with keys should be available to prevent inspection slowdown; if they are not, locks must be forced open.
 Hand pick or sweep grass or vegetation from
the radiator.
 Let down the sides of all trucks that have drop
sides.
 For Class V pallets and crates, avoid water
cleaning and use compressed air as much as possible.

## Chapter 9 Maritime Prepositioning Force Maintenance Cycle

MEB requirements within the constraints of MPS capacities. Since the capacity to preposition all MPE/S may not always be possible, embarkation analyses and potential tradeoffs in prepositioning certain types of equipment must be examined before new assets are procured or sources from existing stocks are used for MPF.

Interoperability of the MPF is the ability of a MEB- or other-sized MAGTF sourced from MARFORCOM or MARFORPAC to conduct MPF operations with any of the associated NSEs and MPSs from any of the three MPSRONs. Interoperability is achieved when ships are loaded and documented with as-loaded ships' deck diagrams and the multiple plans and reports described in this chapter. It is enhanced through common

 MPF operational and logistic planning.  Ship load plans and AIS documentation.  Training.  Close association with NSE planners and
MPSRON staffs.
The tailoring process begins when proposed changes or additions to MEB structure/capabilities result in desired changes within the MEB table of equipment. Recommendations from the forces may include increases in MPE/S. Before changes can occur in the prepositioning objective, a space assessment or maintenance requirements review should be conducted to determine if the MEF's desire to add equipment to the prepositioning objective is feasible. Equipment obsolescence may drive changes. These issues are discussed and agreed upon during the tailoring conference.

The MPF program sponsor (HQMC Expeditionary Policies Branch) chairs an annual MPF Program Review Conference that brings all Navy and Marine Corps MPF program representatives together to discuss operational issues and review MPF policy and procedures that affect the MPF program.

Replacement gear is not normally added to MPE/S unless there is a significant quantity increase or a major change in the equipment's configuration. Hence, it is imperative that PMs become familiar with the tailoring process to ensure that reviews of any newly fielded assets occur as they relate to the MPF program. The process ends with a decision and a coordinated plan to adjust the prepositioning objective, which will be implemented through the next scheduled MMC for the designated MPSRON's 36-month cycle. Specific procedures are located in NAVMC 2907.

The MPF Program Review Conference is a sounding board for policy issues before they are forwarded to the prepositioning oversight working group. This group's issues are brought to the attention of the Marine Corps Requirements Oversight Council/Navy Requirements, Resources, Review Board as required to resolve or develop recommendations for the CNO and the Commandant of the Marine Corps to guide decisions on Service-level MPF policy and management matters.

## Maritime Prepositioning Force Tailoring Process

The MPF logistic sponsor (HQMC LPO) chairs the MPF tailoring conference. The following commands and staff organizations are designated as the lead agencies for initial determination of prepositioning requirements:

The length of the MMC has been extended to 36
months vice the previous 30-month requirement due to the addition of the maritime prepositioning force (enhanced) (MPF[E]) ships. United States Code, Title 46, *Shipping*, mandates that each ship must go into dry dock every 5 years for a hull inspection. The mandate also provides for an underwater survey in lieu of dry docking, allowing ships to have an underwater hull inspection every other 36-month cycle. Due to this requirement, MPE/S are offloaded, tested, modified, inventoried, calibrated, maintained, and modernized. Shelf life stocks are rotated, if necessary.

## Maritime Prepositioning Equipment And Supplies Continuum

The MPE/S continuum consists of four phases acquisition, supply, MMC, and afloat. See figure 9-1). After each 3-year afloat phase, MPSRONs cycle back to the MMC phase.

## Acquisition Phase

Validated Marine Requirements Oversight Council materiel solutions are then forwarded to the Force Structure, Resources and Assessment Directorate, Joint Staff (J-8), to begin its assessment required within the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System. The J-8 personnel compare the Marine Corps capability document with those of other Services to ensure there is no duplication and that the capability does not interfere with joint interoperability. The capability is also considered for possible application by one or all of the Services. If applicable to other Services, the capability will be formalized into the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System; however, if the J-8 determines the capability is Marine Corpsspecific, the validated materiel solution is then inducted into the Marine Corps programming and budgeting process by the advocate. Finally, the item enters the Total Force Structure Management System and is sent to the appropriate MPSRON TOE by the MCCDC CDD.  Marine Corps Systems Command subsequently publishes a letter of adoption and procurement or a user's logistics support summary for fielding the new item. Key questions to ask before an item is acquired are
Activities conducted during the acquisition phase are programming and budgeting, procurement, delivery of PEIs, and issuing initial provisioning packages. Depending on the procurement lead times for certain items, this phase normally lasts
12 to 60 months.

 Is this item going to be placed on MPSs? Is the
appropriate MPSRON TOE being proposed for inclusion into the prepositioning objective and NAVMC 2907?
 Is this a new item? If so, does anything need to
be dropped from the equipment list? If yes, what has to come off the MPS or equipment list to accommodate this new item due to square or cubic footage and net explosive weight limitations?
 Is this a replacement item? If so, is there an
increased requirement for stowage space? When is the item to be fielded? Is the item going to be fielded prior to the conduct of the MMC?
Any command may initiate a universal need statement (UNS) to improve an existing capability or provide a new one. The UNS must be signed by a general officer and endorsed by the MARFOR. The MCCDC staffs the UNS to the appropriate HQMC advocates and, if a nonmateriel solution is warranted, action will be assigned to the appropriate MCCDC organization, such as the Training and Education Command or CDD. If a materiel solution is warranted, an initial capabilities document is modified or drafted. All

 Are there special maintenance requirements
that cannot be met while afloat for 36 months that may prohibit the asset from performing its
intended capability? If yes, the asset should not be prepositioned.
During the MMC phase, the applicable MEF commander may assign a liaison team to the BICmd. The BICmd prepares the MPS load plans and other planning-related documents. This phase is completed once the MPS returns from dry-dock or hull recertification and embarkation of the revitalized stocks is completed.

## Afloat Phase

These are only a few questions that need to challenge each proposed new MPE/S item. These proposed prepositioning quantities are still subject to review by the MPF tailoring system (specific procedures are provided in NAVMC 2907).

## Supply Phase

The afloat phase begins at the completion of the ship's backload. Scheduled and nonscheduled shipboard maintenance is conducted by the maintenance contractor. Some MEF-level exercises are periodically conducted in support of the joint staff and unified commander's MPF training plans. In addition to normal training benefits, these exercises also provide an opportunity to adjust the load and make repairs to equipment, which, due to space restraints aboard the ship, could not normally be conducted.

## Maritime Prepositioning Force Maintenance Cycle Planning Documents

This phase begins immediately once PEIs and supplies have been delivered to a specific government activity. Items are entered into various AISs to manage maintenance, embarkation, and accounting actions. Inventory activities that manage shelf life expiration dates are undertaken in this phase and stock rotation is considered. Due to the MMC being extended to 36 months, shelf life criteria had to be modified. Nonextendable, "Type I," shelf life items have a shelf life code of "Q" (36 months), where at least 30 of the 36 months must be remaining at the time the MPS sails. Extendable, "Type II," shelf life items have a code of "6" (24 months), where at least 18 of the 24 months must be remaining at the time of sail, unless otherwise authorized by the MEF.

The BICmd combines MEF guidance, the published MEB table of equipment, and the NAVMC 2907 designated for that MPSRON to create plans.

## Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadron Spreadload Plan (By Ship)

When the MPS onload is complete, BICmd provides the MEF with a list of PEIs and SL-3 (component listing) shortages that do not meet the minimum criteria (key information for units compiling their FIE requirements). This 6- to 18-
month phase runs concurrently with the MMC activities conducted before the afloat phase.

## Maritime Prepositioning Force Maintenance Cycle Phase

Maritime prepositioning force maintenance cycle phase takes approximately 18 months, which includes the MEF's planning efforts. Actual ship offload and backload takes about 2 months.

The MPSRON spreadload plan ensures that PEIs are embarked in accordance with MCO P3000.17. End items normally cannot be stowed on a ship to increase their priority in the MPSRON offload sequence unless they provide essential capabilities to the forces, they were loaded in error during a previous cycle, or the unload sequence of the ships changed. This situation is especially true for SAC 1 [stores account code one] assets funded by BICmd.

## Major Subordinate Element Plan

The MSE plan assigns PEIs to a specific MSE, such as the GCE or ACE. This allocation of assets is determined by requirements stated in the published MEB table of equipment and complies with the quantities listed in NAVMC 2907.

## Master Plan

be assigned to the same MSE as the PEI. While exceptions to this policy are unavoidable, they must be kept to a minimum and identified to the MEF. Several mobile load reports provide different levels of information. The "commodity mobile load report" provides the greatest amount of details to the readers. It lists information on assets to be loaded on a particular platform, the owning unit, if vehicles have a winch, stowage location, and maximum height allowed.

## Square Load Plan

The master plan provides information needed to identify all assets being loaded in containers, mobile loaded, square loaded, or in the armory.

## Capability And Habitability Sets Plans

The square load plan identifies all rolling stock and break bulk (MPSRON 2) items, plus any deck-loaded containers. The primary tools for this plan are the MDSS II and ICODES. These systems function to provide a database and twodimensional deck diagrams.

## Association Plan

The association plan is made up of those items that are not SL-3 using-unit-responsible items, but are required or desired by the forces to be loaded with another PEI.

## Armory Plan

Before an MMC, the MEF commander is responsible for submitting recommended changes to the capability/habitability set plans. The same sets exist in each MPSRON, but the contents may be loaded differently in set containers. Once BICmd receives the lists of assets making up each of the capability/habitability sets, their contractors must ensure that current prepositioning objectives and previous maintenance cycle's ships breakout facilitate the commander's desires. Capability/ habitability sets are designated by MSEs and should be filled by that MSE's PEI allocations. Sets are normally located on the weather decks for rapid access.

## Container Plan

The armory plan consists of all items to be loaded into the armory for security reasons. This includes all weapons organic to tanks, light armored vehicles (LAVs), amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs), and pilferable items, such as scopes and binoculars. The armory association plan provides a list of the weapon systems and their associated weapons with the quantity to be loaded.

## Battery Plan

The container plan provides each MSE with a listing of all items and capability and habitability sets components to be containerized. Whenever possible, sustainment MPE/S should be loaded into containers to increase mobile loading capacity. Several variations of the container plan provide vital information to personnel loading or configuring the equipment.

The battery plan shows the breakout by ship of the battery core block listed in NAVMC 2907.

## End Of Ship And End Of Maritime Prepositioning Force Maintenance Cycle Reports

Marine Corps Technical Manual 4790-14/2 provides the establishment of the RAC team. The RAC team is made up of representatives of the MEF who will be on TAD to BICmd in support of their MPSRON's MMC. Team composition varies depending on the commander's intent, but is generally made up of an OIC and embarkation At the end of each ship's cycle, all data for the load out on that MPS is turned over to the RAC
and supply personnel. The RAC operates in coordination with the quality assurance effort to ensure the time-constrained maintenance cycle is not hindered. It also provides additional guidance as ships are loaded. The RAC team is OPCON to their parent MEF commander and ADCON to BICmd during the MMC.

Training encompasses maintenance recovery teams, commodity desktop procedures, quality inspection reports, review of current Marine Corps directives as they relate to the operation of MMC and RAC teams, and forms used by BICmd's quality assurance personnel. The RAC team's responsibilities are to

 Determine the last publications review conducted by MCMC personnel on publications used in the maintenance effort to ensure a current publications status and applicability.
During a ship's cycle, the MEF commander may send RAC teams while equipment is being worked or after it is staged for backload to ensure equipment meets prepositioning standards and is fully mission capable. Each MEF publishes a RAC LOI that covers operations, administration, and logistics of the RAC team. This LOI may include the following:

 Review the current calibration control records
on MPE/S to verify that the tools required for
calibration are in fact being sent out for calibration.
 Composition and staffing of the RAC team.  TAD order writing authority.  Leave and liberty procedures.
 Ensure that each of the RAC team commodity
areas are provided the most current modifications instructions from their parent commands before arrival at BICmd.
 Disbursing support.  Casualty reports.
 Review all PEI record jackets for completeness
before acceptance.
 Postal instructions.  Clothing and equipment.  Legal administration.  Individual responsibilities.
 Review all applicable technical manuals,
instructions (modification and technical), and safety alerts to ensure their currency and proper application.
 Other matters the MEF commander deems necessary.
 Review the modification control records for all
PEIs to ensure that required modifications have been applied and recorded.

## Operational Planning

 Review the SL-3s used for SL-3 inventories to
ensure that current publications are being used.
 Ensure that equipment support records and
associated forms are present and current data is maintained.
 Ensure that all MPE/S meet the minimum
requirements of applicable orders and manuals and that all records reflect this status.
 Ensure that the embarkation plan approved by
the MEF is executed.
The MMC is a maintenance and supply regeneration, reconstitution, and embarkation operation that focuses on the combat readiness of the MPE/S. Plans generated by BICmd are used to accomplish this operation. Execution of those plans is the responsibility of BICmd with monitoring and concurrence by the RAC team. Operational planning requires extensive attention to detail to ensure a successful MMC.

## Predeployment Training And Team Responsibilities

Any changes to the prepositioning objective will be brought to the immediate attention of the RAC team OIC and must be accompanied by a letter of approval from the Commandant of the Marine Corps (LPO). This authorization is maintained in Predeployment training of RAC teams is essential since there is little time after arrival at BICmd.

files and brought back to the MEF upon completion of the MMC.

## Maritime Prepositioning Ship Loading

assets and appropriate offload systems, such as ramps and cranes, are functional before Navy-day. The MPF utility boats also serve as waterborne ambulances and passenger transfer ships. Lighterage is essential for the STS movement, such as sea transportation and throughput of MPE/S.

## Lighterage, Amphibious Resupply, Cargo, And Amphibious Assault Vehicles

Marine Corps Order P3000.17 policy states that MPSs are to be loaded to allow for effective use of space and a load that supports employment and interoperability. This policy differs significantly from embarking amphibious shipping to support forcible entry operations.

On O-day, the lighter(s), amphibious resupply, cargo (LARC) is the first off the stern ramp. The LARCs are safety ships for the AAVs as they splash into the water and are STS guide boats for an in-stream offload. Early offload of LARCs and AAVs on O-day permits the debarkation team to move equipment throughout the ship for easy access and rapid offload. Important for beach salvage operations in the surf zone, LARCs can be used as tow vehicles on the beach especially when the beach size is limited in width and depth.

The MPSs are loaded for arrival and assembly operations while remaining cognizant of potential threats, such as criminal acts, terrorism, or overt hostile action. This administrative loading must focus on a rapid offload at a port facility or an instream location. Load planning must be flexible enough to accomplish either, depending on the situation in which the MPSRON is to be offloaded and the height, weight, and TSS considerations.

## Rough Terrain Container Handlers

The RTCHs are critical to the handling of containers. Some of the first containers to be handled will be for the NSE or capability/habitability sets, so RTCHs are the most critical throughput item in the equipment list after the lighterage. Accordingly, they are typically positioned in two general locationsnear the stern ramp so they are the next item offloaded after the LARCs and AAVs in RO/RO operations and under the best available hatch square after lighterage is removed in LO/LO operations.

Depending on the class of the MPS, a general pattern or load plan template has evolved to facilitate the arrival and assembly operations in theater and provide efficiencies to minimize the time required for force standup and throughput. Each MPS has different operating characteristics and deck configurations that can enhance or limit load/offload capabilities for MPF planners. Accordingly, planning for the backloading of MPSs during reconstitution and the MMC must consider items, such as MPF utility boats and lighterage, amphibious cargo and assault vehicles, and container handlers, in developing load plans and assessing the operational impact during execution.

## Maritime Prepositioning Force Utility Boat And Lighterage

For in-stream offload operations, MPF utility boats and lighterage are placed in the water on Navy-day. Therefore, the OPP must ensure these If three RTCHs are assigned to a particular ship, one will be placed near the stern ramp with the remaining two RTCHs placed under the hatch square. During LO/LO operations, this configuration provides an immediate capability of two RTCHs. For RO/RO operations, three RTCHs can be made available through a discharge over the side and down the stern ramp. The number of containers during in-stream operations will be fewer than for a pierside offload. Regardless of

## Ground Transportation And Throughput Equipment

the number of RTCHs assigned to each ship, the embarkation of each RTCH must support LO/LO and RO/RO operations, with emphasis on an instream (LO/LO) offload. This loading technique ensures maximum flexibility for employment of this vital asset and is consistent with the number of containers that can be transferred ashore.

## Navy Support Element

The LFSP is responsible for all ground transportation and throughput. To ensure that the LFSP has sufficient tools in a resource-constrained environment, the LFSP has OPCON over all the "B" (engineer) and "D" (motor transportation) TAMCNs. Once the offload is almost complete, control of the TAMCNs reverts to the MSEs to which they are assigned (GCE or ACE).

Centralized management of these assets must be planned and throughput matrices assist MPF planners to determine the best stowage location of each PEIfor example, critical ground nodes that may require significant earthmoving capability are roads, COT lots, ammunition supply points, fuel farms, and water storage facilities.

## Maritime Prepositioning Force Marine Expeditionary Unit Equipment List

The NSE is the recipient of MPE/S through two critical nodes in the overall throughput planthe beach (in-stream offload) and port (pierside operation). These nodes must be available very early in the operation. The NSE is responsible for getting the MPE/S to the high water mark; the LFSP is responsible for throughput from the high water mark over the beach. Therefore, the NSE's MPE/S must be readily accessible when embarking or backloading the MPS. Proper prepositioning of the NSE allows it to deploy to the AAA in the SLRP, OPP, and advance party before Navy-day and be operational within the first 24 to 48 hours of arrival and assembly operations. High offload priority PEIs for the NSE are their D7G bulldozers, forklifts, floodlight sets, and capability sets. These NSE PEIs are identified with an equipment code and assembly numbers in the NAVMC 2907. Embarkation of the NSE's MPE/S must facilitate the debarkation, STS throughput, and beach and port operations. The first three PEIs that must be on the first barge ferry during instream offloads are

 INLS bow modules, which have a hydraulic
raise/lower mechanism that eliminates the requirement for the forklift to lift the barge ferry fingers.
 NSE's D7G bulldozer, which prepares the
beach and pushes the causeway ferry out to sea.
The MPF MEU's slice is loaded on the primary and alternative flagship due to these ships' command, control, communications systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. The MEU's portion does not take up all the ships' stowage area; it is small enough to allow for stowage of additional MPE/S. The intent is to load the notional MEU slice MPE/S so that they can generally be offloaded without having to remove MPE/S that are not in the MEU slice equipment list. However, this is not always possible due to height and weight restrictions and TSS considerations. During execution, the MEU/ MAGTF commander may determine that he needs more or less equipment than the MEU slice planned. An MPF is inherently flexible for providing the appropriate mix of equipment to support the MEU/MAGTF commander's CONOPS; however, there is no flexibility regarding MEU

slice ammunition containers as they will be loaded below the weather decks/capability and habitability sets.

## Commander's Warfighting Priorities

The key planning consideration is that all of the warfighting components must be accessible within the first few days. If fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft are in the top five warfighting priorities, then a portion of their ordnance needs to be planned for containers positioned higher in the container stacks, which are subject to TSS and compatibility issues, and their AGSE must be prioritized ahead of other AGSE. Planning of warfighting priorities helps achieve key capabilities that may be needed early in MAGTF operations and assists the AAOG and Marine Corps debarkation officer to determine the critical path of MPE/S for offload.

The MEF commander can influence the MPS load plans through the active participation of the MEF staff during MMC planning and through the RAC team during the MMC. These capabilities can be articulated by specifying warfighting priorities (normally no more than five priorities). Some examples of warfighting priorities are armored reconnaissance, fixedwing attack, heavy armor, operational maneuver, rotary-wing attack, and counterbattery fires.

Historically, the PEIs that support these priorities are the LAV, F/A-18 Hornet, MV-22 or AV-8B Harrier II tilt-rotar and fixed wing aircraft, M1A1 tank, AH-1 Cobra helicopter, and the LW
155 howitzer. For an MPF planner to translate these capabilities into reality, the embarkation team must consider unhindered access to numerous components during arrival and assembly operations, such as

 M1A1 tanks.  Fuel trucks.
 Vehicle transport to haul ammunition and supplies.
The MEF commander selects these warfighting priorities based on current OPLANs for major operations and CONPLANs for limited contingency operations. During execution, the MAGTF commander may select different warfighting priorities. These priorities provide focus of effort for the mission at hand, whether it is a show of force, combat, foreign humanitarian assistance mission, or stability operations; however, those general foreign humanitarian assistance or stability mission requirements can be satisfied with the flexible capabilities inherent in the throughput equipment, capability/habitability sets, and MREs. The MPS embarkation plans must be able to support across the range of operations while maintaining the overall embarkation plan to support the concept for which the MPF MAGTF and MPF MEU were designed.

## Critical Path Analysis During Execution Planning

Operators and logisticians should color code MPS load plans based on the type of ship and MPS load plan colors used by BICmd. Color codes for MPS load plans are

The actual MPS load configuration may help or hinder the development of this capability. The American Overseas Marine (AMSEA) class ships allow rapid offload of most M1A1 tanks; whereas, the Waterman class ships limit the initial offload of M1A1 tanks to the MPF MEU slice (4 tanks).

arrival of forces in the AAA identified in the TPFDD should coincide with the offload and movement of a capability's MPE/S into the AAOEs and ERPs. An excess number of personnel in theater can create unnecessary burdens on the LFSP and AAOEs for transportation, billeting, and messing that detract from the primary purpose of throughput and force standup.

 Transportation and throughput itemsturquoise.

## Spreadload Concept

The critical path for the offload of equipment and containers can be determined by considering the MPE/S that best support force standup and when force capabilities need to be established. During MMC and reconstitution planning, color-coding aids in assessing MPS load plans and their compliance with the MEF commander's guidance.

The general rule of MPS embarkation is that no more than one-third of a PEI's total quantity is loaded on a specific ship. This allocation ensures that if one ship needs maintenance or was damaged or destroyed, the MPF could continue its mission. Some exceptions to this rule are

 The MEU slice is loaded only on the primary
and alternate flagships.

## Magtf Operational Standup Time

 There are limited quantities of PEIs. Certain
PEIs have small quantities, at times no more than one or two.
 The EMF is restricted in its ability to be spread
loaded. Even though modular and scalable configurations exist, intermodular dependencies must be considered. Construction battalion maintenance units under 1NCD are trained to support EMF construction.
Force standupthe most critical issue facing MAGTF commanderscan be optimized by following the aforementioned loading criteria during MMC and OCONUS reconstitution and ensuring that rapid and responsible accountability and communications systems are considered in the AAA. The MDSS II must be fully employed and is best supported by a communications architecture with wireless data transmission capability. This capability allows the AAOG, LFSP, and AAOEs to have full visibility of MPE/S during arrival and assembly activities, locate critical bottlenecks, and forecast when prioritized warfighting capabilities are operational.

 The EAF is loaded on three ships though there
is no operational imperative for rapid offload and EAF assembly. The key to the EAF's setup is stabilizing the soil, which is done by the NCE and may take up to three weeks to complete. The NMCB capabilities are spreadloaded aboard three ships for each squadron.

## Improvement Of Force Closure Times

 Because of its configuration, the Class IX block
can be stowed most efficiently and effectively on the primary and alternate flagships to support the MPF MEU and MPF MAGTF force modules.

## Trim, Stress, And Stability

Considerations regarding TSS ensure that the ship can operate safely when underway or at anchor The principal means to improve force closure times is to position or move the MPSRON before the deployment order. The secondary means is the marriage of sound embarkation load planning and the MAGTF commander's warfighting priorities developed during MMC operational planning and identification of force movement requirements in the TPFDD. The timing of the within the parameters of its operational design. It also addresses lists, hogging, and sagging. A list is a tilt to port or starboard, which affects the ship's operating characteristics. Movement of heavy vehicles, such as AAVs or tanks, can rapidly create a list for the MPS. During Operation Fiery Vigil in the Philippines, movement of several tanks on "B" deck caused a 17-degree list to port on the MV *Lummus* and created an unsafe condition for OPP operations on "D" deck.

Hogging is when the bow and the stern of the MPS are heavy, and the middle of the ship rides high in the water. Sagging is when the middle of the ship rides lower than the bow and the stern.

Hogging and sagging place excess stress on the structure of the MPS and should be avoided.

## Load Lines Bunkering Plan

Every bunkering plan (ship's fuel) must comply with international load line treaties and the requirements of marine insurance underwriters. Compliance with load line requirements is essential to avoid having the ship declared unseaworthy. The underwriters mandated that all ships carry a reserve of 25 percent more fuel than is required for the planned voyage.

## International Conventions

Rules were established in 1875 that required ships to have their hulls marked with the depth that they could be loaded safely in various areas of the world and through all seasons of the year. Hence, the world was divided into zones designated as tropical, seasonal tropical, summer, and seasonal winter. An allowance was made for the buoyancy of fresh and salt water. These factors and the resulting markings were determined to give greater free board to ships facing increased hazards of the sea as seasons changed. American ship owners were placed under the obligations of the old rules through the first International Load Line Convention agreement of 1930, which Congress ratified in 1931. Since then, the United States has adopted the International Maritime Organization 1966 Load Lines Convention and subsequent amendments to it, along with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea protocols of 1974, 1978, and 1988.

## Classification

Actual load lines are determined by classification societies, such as Lloyd's of London, when ship designs are submitted for approval.

## Enforcement

The Coast Guard enforces load line regulations. Regulation breaches have led to courts of law holdings that overloading makes a ship unseaworthy. The ship owner is deprived of any legal protection for loss or damage sustained by an unseaworthy ship. Marine insurance underwriters have successfully resisted any claims for restitution of loss when a ship has been loaded deeper than its maximum depth line. For voyages where a ship crosses from one zone to another, the ship must be loaded so that when it crosses the depth zone line, it meets the prescribed draught limits of the new zone.

## Capability And Habitability Sets

Typical sets are detailed below although quantity changes may occur due to attainment or changes in the capability sets during the MMC.

## Food Services Capability Set

Each set supports 750 to 1,000 persons, while the maximum capability supports 4,000. For an MPF MEB, additional equipment must be offloaded before the reception to support a feeding volume of more than 18,000 Marines and Sailors.

## Habitability Set

80,000 gallons. Each container will be designated for the LCE.

## Naval Cargo Handling Battalion Capability Set

Each set contains slings and other materials to conduct LO/LO operations.

Each set provides basic protection from the elements. Each container (module) has equipment and supplies to outfit 80 Marines. The MARFOR/MEFs designate the number of modules for each MSE.

## Naval Beach Group Capability Set Health Service Support Capability Set

Each set provides the materials to function as an AAOE and provide camp support.

Each set provides surgical capability and patient holding for a minimum of 20 casualties. The HSS block consists of AMALs 631, 632, 635, 636,
639, and 640.

## Ammunition Load Planning Fuel Capability Set Compatibility

Each set consists of containers loaded with one ABLTS and 14 expeditionary refueling systems for the LCE. Each set also consists of one tactical airfield fuel dispensing system (TAFDS) and two helicopter expeditionary refueling systems for the ACE.

## Electrical Distribution Capability Set

Ammunition must be segregated and loaded by its hazardous classification; for example, white phosphorus must be segregated from high explosives. Often, general-purpose cargo containers are stacked between and over these incompatible cargoes, which emphasizes the need to ensure the proper use of HAZMAT/explosives labels and placards.

## Fueled Principal End Items

Container 1 provides direct support electrical power. Containers 2 and 3 are general support base camp electrical power generators. Container
4 is loaded with sufficient equipment to provide long-term humanitarian assistance support.

## Security Capability Set

Fueled PEIs cannot be stowed in the same space as ammunition. They must be separated by watertight hatches and doors; for example, on AMSEA class ships, the number three hold can contain rolling stock and containers. If ammunition containers were placed in hold three, there would be a severe operational impact on stowage area.

Each set provides the GCE commander with a capability to deter pilferage and terrorist activity. Each set contains tentage, communications, and engineer assets.

## Weather Deck Stowage Water Capability Set

Ammunition is not normally stored on the weather decks due to its susceptibility to damage from the environment. It is stored in the environmentally-controlled holds below the weather decks.

Each set consists of two tactical water purification systems (TWPSs) and four 20,000-gallon collapsible water storage tanks. The TWPS can generate 1200 to 1500 gallons of fresh water each hour; the total stowage capacity for each set is

## Deck Strength

Ammunition container loaded weight is limited to
45,000 pounds. When half-high containers were obtained to store ammunition, the standard 8- by 8- by 20-foot container space could now accommodate 90,000 pounds. However, the deck strength may not be able to sustain that amount of weight with four to six half-high containers stacked in a space designed for two or three standard 20-foot containers. The heavy weight of ammunition calls for it to be stowed in the bottom-most holds or stowage locations of the MPS.

## Maritime Prepositioning Force Marine Expeditionary Unit Ammunition

Designated ammunition types are identified in prescribed loads to support MEU equipment. Container stowage configurations of each class of ship will determine the best method of ammunition stowage.

## Chapter 10 Force Protection

 *Engage*. The MPF force protection assets
engage attackers with a layered, distributed set of sea-, land-, and air-based platforms. These assets require well-trained watch standers, robust communications, and well-developed ROE for best effectiveness with minimal risk of fratricide.
All MPF operations require an environment secure enough to accommodate all phases of an MPF operationto allow for arrival and assembly of the force and eventual reconstitution and redeployment. To ensure a secure environment, adequate security and force protection capabilities need to be planned and made available to meet potential threats.

 *Mitigate*. The MPF force protection assets
lessen attack effects by redeploying forces to compensate for casualties and by protecting MPF assets and other mitigation activities in the vulnerable period immediately following an attack.

## Force Protection Planning

The CCDR is responsible for force protection during MPF operations, which are most vulnerable during the movement phase and least vulnerable upon completion of the MAGTF's force standup. Surface escorts, augmented by air surveillance assets, are assigned force protection responsibilities during the transit from the marshalling points to the AAA. After the MPSs CHOP to CMPF, the CMPF is responsible for protecting the MPSRON. The MPF force protection concept is to deploy and employ force protection assets to *deter*, detect, and *engage* attackers in order to mitigate the effects of attacks that do occur.

The primary goal of force protection planning (see app. W for a force protection plan format) is to ensure safe transit and a secure AAA for the entire MPF operation. This goal can only be accomplished through vigilance and a determined effort to maintain situational awareness across all phases of the operations.

## Situational Awareness

 *Deter*. The MPF force protection assets deter
attack by presenting visible, credible evidence to observers that attacks from any point will be detected and defeated. Deterrence is also accomplished by creating uncertainty in the minds of observers about the actual extent of defensive measures. It should be accomplished by a layered combination of active and passive measures.
 *Detect*. The MPF force protection assets detect
possible attacks with a network of sea-, land-, and air-based observers and electronic sensors. The cluttered environment and short reaction times in MPF AAAs require sophisticated and rapid contact assessment procedures.
To counter threats, the MPF commander must maintain situational awareness of the complete tactical situation across the phases of an MPF operation. That awareness includes the in theater threats faced by the CCDR and the subordinate force protection commanders. In addition to the ability to detect, situational awareness includes the ability to integrate/fuze, evaluate, and report all surface, subsurface, air, and land contacts inside and outside the AAA. Situational awareness is a result of well-coordinated command and control. Contacts may be tracked, evaluated, and reported by a variety of organic and nonorganic sensors in a distributed command and control architecture that is responsive to the establishing authority's needs.

The goal of situational awareness is a common operational picture (COP) of the battlespace shared by the CCDR, the MAGTF commander, the CMPF, and their subordinate force protection elements. A COP facilitates decisionmaking, since commanders who have nearly identical situational awareness can develop COAs in a timely manner. Maintaining situational awareness for planning and during operations is vital. For continuous situational awareness, a close relationship must be developed between those who provide force protection security and those who provide intelligence support. Upon gaining situational awareness, planning begins with a careful threat assessment and assignment of sufficient landward, seaward, and air security elements within an integrated force security organization to mitigate the threat.

## Force Protection Assessment

A force protection assessment involves a threat analysis, a survey of the proposed AAA, and a review of the available/assigned force protection assets. Threats to MPF operations vary significantly during each phase of an MPF operation and may include deep water submarines and longrange aircraft during the transit phase and combat swimmers, mines, and small craft in the AAA. Due to the MPF's vulnerability to infiltration, the MPF area of operations must ensure that defensive coordination occurs among participating commands. The types of threats an MPF faces are

 Level I threats, which include agents, saboteurs, sympathizers, terrorists, and civil disturbances.
 Level II threats, which include small tactical
units, unconventional warfare forces, guerrillas, and significant stand-off weapons threats.
 Level III threats, which include large tactical
force operations, such as airborne, helicopterborne, amphibious, infiltration, and major air
operations.
Counterintelligence and intelligence sources should be solicited to provide tailored threat assessments for the designated AAA and its approaches before and during MPF operations. These threats can be defined early in the mission planning process through intelligence preparation of the operational environment. Refer to JP 3-10, *Joint Security Operations in Theater*, for further guidance.

## Survey, Liaison, And Reconnaissance Party

In addition to situational awareness and assessments, planners must be aware of key responsibilities and actions that must occur during each phase and the capabilities provided by each force protection organization. The SLRP organization is staffed and equipped to serve as the initial "eyeson" to begin force protection planning in earnest. The SLRP is generally detailed to assess the proposed AAA. It is imperative that the FPO or his designated representative and air, sea, and land security personnel be assigned to the SLRP to conduct a force protection assessment. This assessment should include identification of locations for shore-based surveillance assets, determination of the ability of a host nation to support/ augment force protection measures, survey of piers and potential boat maintenance facilities, identification of improvements needed in potential static defensive positions, or development of fields of fire for landward security forces. Planners can conduct a detailed force protection assessment using the SLRP checklist.

## Force Protection During Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations Phases Marshalling And Movement Phases

The NCC is responsible for the security and force protection of MPF shipping; however, the establishing authority/FPO should coordinate with the NCC when planning for escort operations, routing MPSs to the AAA, determining the and verification that ships anchored pierside or underway in the AAA are not threatened and strategic aircraft and the flight ferry can fly safely into the AAA.

point where the MPSs CHOP to the CMPF for operations and force protection, and subsequent use of escorts for security at the AAA. Primary objectives during these phases include the phased deployment of security and force protection assets to the AAA and preparing the AAA for MPF ship arrival. Assets are normally sequenced into the AAA in the following order to accomplish their tasks:

 Q-route establishment, which includes the
coordination of defensive mine laying, identification of primary and alternative routes through the AAA to the offload areas, and coordination of periodic MCM sweeps through the Q-routes to ensure that they are clear.
 Landward security elements establish secure
perimeters at the pier, beach, and airfield areas; link-up with host nation landward security elements; and conduct EOD sweeps of piers, port
facilities, adjoining roads, and berthing areas. These elements may be flown in from outside the theater of operations or detached from the in theater MEU embarked in the deployed amphibious ready group.
The aforementioned assets test security response measures to simulated air, land, and sea threats, which include coordinated responses at the air/ land/sea contact point, communications effectiveness, and host nation interoperability. They declare the AAA safe to enter for the strategic/ tactical aircraft and MPS.

## Arrival And Assembly Phase

 Command, control, communications systems,
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance elements conduct layered surveillance operations, establish the security/force protection
command and control organization, and coordinate security measures with host nation agencies. These elements may be flown in from outside the theater of operations and/or provided from prepositioned/deployed assets.
This phase includes MPS arrival, offloading, and force standup. The primary focus of security and force protection is steady-state operations, continuous re-evaluation of security effectiveness and requirements, and daily coordination among force protection commanders and elements. Specific MPF mission tasks that must be defended in this phase include

 Offloading and STS movement of troops and
supplies.
 Installation, operation, and maintenance of
ABLTSs.
 Seaward security elements establish security
zones at the offload areas, conduct mine countermeasures (MCM)/EOD sweeps of the piers
and anchorages in the AAA, and link up with
host nation seaward security elements for coordinated seaward security response. These elements may be flown in from outside the theater of operations and/or provided from prepositioned/deployed assets.
 Deployment, assembly, installation, and operation of an RRDF.
 Establishment and operation of one or more
support camps for the NSE and other elements that, where possible, are integrated as part of a larger joint or regional camp.
 Force protection elements of the intertheater
airlift are retained by the supported and supporting CCDRs and secure the AAA in advance of ship and aircraft arrival, which involves the following:
 Establishment and operation of arrival and
assembly airfields.
 AAA sanitization, which includes the coordination of overlapping organic and nonorganic surveillance coverage, implementation of seaward threat interdiction procedures, coordination with host nation security forces,
 Installation, operation, and maintenance of offshore petroleum discharge systems (OPDSs) and OPDS utility boats.
 Deployment and operation of elevated causeway system-modular.
 Changing operational control among various
forces in/out of the force security organization as required through maritime patrol aircraft, surface pickets, MCM ships, or host nation assets.
 Deployment, assembly, installation, operation,
and maintenance of causeway ferries and supporting MPF utility boats for offload and the
floating causeway pier.
 Maintaining vigilance and the tactical edge
through controlled testing of surveillance effectiveness and security response measures.

## Reconstitution Phase

An important consideration when planning the integrated defense of an MPF offload area is the positioning of the ships to be offloaded. Often, this may be geographically constrained. As discussed in MCWP 3-35.8, Tactical Boat Operations, and NTTP 3-07.2.1, Antiterrorism/Force Protection, the operational limit of small security boats is highly dependent on sea state. Additional precautions must be considered if boats are required to be operating on the open water and out of sight of land. Beyond that distance, the JFMCC or appropriate task force commander may be required to task other available assets to protect the offload ships. Additional actions and considerations necessary include the following:
The CCDR is responsible for security, but will normally delegate responsibility to the COMMARFOR (AOR) during reconstitution.

The NAVFOR is responsible for internal security of living quarters, workspaces, staging areas, and loading areas. Assigning additional security responsibilities to them may detract from efficient reconstitution functioning. This phase includes the reconstitution and redeployment of the MPF, to include the phased redeployment of force protection and surveillance assets. The primary focus is the safe and secure departure of friendly forces from the AAA. This phase involves the following:

 Daily planning and coordination among the
FPO, air security officer (ASO), SSO, LSO, and host nation commanders, including command-level reassessment of the threat and force protection posture.
 MPS departure, which includes the escort and
hand-off from CMPF security forces to escorts assigned by the NCC. Responsibility for force protection is generally passed from CMPF to the escort commander at a designated point near the outer boundary of the AAA.
 Evaluating and verifying the performance of
deployed tactical sensor systems, including determining radar shadows, conducting acoustic range checks for predictions validation, and verifying optical sensor coverage and overlap.
 Daily operations reporting, with daily force
protection status information and commanders estimates forwarded from the SSO, ASO, and LSO to the FPO and from the FPO to the
establishing authority.
 Phased redeployment of seaward security and
command and control forces normally commences after the MPF ships depart the AAA. In a contingency situation, these forces may remain in theater and transition to other missions under the theater CCDR's OPLAN, such as JLOTS support, port security and harbor defense, and SLOC defense.
 Re-evaluation of security requirements and
requests for additional force protection assets when warranted; for example, MPSs may be
moved from anchorage to pierside or vice versa, which could require additional (or the rearrangement of) surveillance and force protection assets to conduct the mission.
 Landward security, base camp, and airfield
security forces redeployment, which are generally the last to redeploy. In a contingency situation, these forces may remain in theater and transition to other missions under the theater CCDR's OPLAN.
MESF and subordinate unit characteristics and capabilities, refer to US Navy Maritime Expeditionary Security Force Concept of Operations, MESF CONOPS (signed on 11 April 2007).

## Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron

Simultaneous requirements for security at numerous locations (an APOE, SPOEs, washdown sites, and staging areas) may exceed the capabilities of naval personnel and necessitate coordination with external agencies. Security forces, other than internal security forces defined in the reconstitution table of organization, will be provided from all available sources as directed by COM- MARFOR (AOR). External security support may be provided by the US Army, multinational forces, HNS, and other NAVFOR. Security for the reconstitution phase should be assured before finalizing the MAGTF's redeployment plan.

Transfer of responsibility for security should be explained in the OPLAN/OPORD.

## Security Support By Navy Support Elements

The MSRON is normally the largest MESF unit to deploy and may operate independently or in support of other security forces. Two or more MSRONs may combine under a single commander if mission scope requires. Each MSRON consists of a headquarters staff and maritime expeditionary security, boat, and command and control divisions. The divisions can be broken down into smaller detachments or elements that make up an AFP tailored for a specific MPF, AFOE, or LOTS mission. This construct augments and relieves the NSE of most of its defensive roles, permitting it to focus on its primary mission.

## Defensive Capabilities Of The Maritime Expeditionary Security Force

All NSE forces are equipped with small arms as well as crew-served machine guns. They have the ability to defend the beach, seaward approaches, and associated base camp from enemy attacks of up to platoon size. They can also defend convoys traversing to offload staging and marshalling areas.

Note: NSE units have the ability and re-
sources to set up defensible camp entry con-
trol points (ECPs) and staff a defensive
perimeter; however, using the NSE in a de-
fensive role will detract from its primary
mission. Therefore, other supporting forces
should take on defensive responsibilities as
soon as practical.

## Maritime Expeditionary Security Force

The MESF is staffed and equipped to defend against level I and II threats, augmenting other forces in a level III threat environment. The number and type of weapons with which MESF deploys depends on the type of mission and what is specified in the request for support. The introduction of the MESF into an area of operations in support of an MPF operation must be carefully planned and timed to ensure optimum use of these unique resources. The MESF counters a wide range of threats, including surface craft, swimmer delivery vehicles, swimmers, and land forces. Threat objectives may include the destruction or disabling of military vessels, port infrastructure, or the collection of intelligence. The MESF can provide

 Ground defense operations:
 Ground, point, and area defense.  Airfield/aircraft security and defense.  Rapid response.  Land convoy escort.  Surveillance/reconnaissance.
The COMUSFF CONOPS describes the MESF as a subordinate command of the NECC. They are under the OPCON of the numbered fleets and control is transferred to the JFMCC during an operation.

The scenario in figure 10-1 is an independent MPF operation. In this example, the operation includes the airlift of personnel with equipment into an AAA at an APOD to join with prepositioned equipment and supplies carried aboard the MPSRON, which must be offloaded across the beach. The command and control structure required for defensive operations is

 Search and rescue.  Customs.  Theater security cooperation support.  Humanitarian and civic assistance.  Defense support of civil authorities.
 The NBG commander normally assumes the
duties as CMPF for independent MPF operations, such as an in-stream offload. In his absence, the CNSE assumes the duties of CMPF.
 If the CNSE assumes the role of CMPF, the
commander, PHIBCB assumes the duties of CNSE.
The MESF commander ordinarily serves as the force security officer (FSO) and is assigned forces to carry out the security mission.

 The commander of the MESF assumes duties
as FSO and reports to the CNSE.

## Force Protection Command And Control

 The LSO and SSO billets are also filled by
MESF personnel.
If an MESF AFP is not deployed, the FSO, LSO, and SSO billets are filled from the CNSE force structure. In this case

 The beach support commander assumes duties
as LSO.
 The OCU watch officer assumes the dual
responsibility of SSO.
Note: The OCU is a watch organization, not an individual.

The CCDR executes command and control through a dedicated force protection organization headed by the FPO, which includes an SSO, an LSO, an ASO, and their subordinate security response forces. The TACON of interdiction and response assets is normally delegated to the SSO, LSO, and ASO to facilitate rapid response to potential threats. The CCDR's decisionmaking process is enhanced through a COP of the battlespace shared with subordinates and force protection commanders and their security elements using reliable and secure communications.

## Security Control Centers

The following information discusses the command and control procedures during MPF missions where defensive combat operations can be anticipated, suggesting the command and control architecture for a coordinated defensive To facilitate coordination between the key security organizations, security control centers should be collocated. Figure 10-2 shows an MPF instream offload area with the various control centers identified.

## Offload Control Unit

situation as it develops ashore and at sea and allows forces ashore to fully integrate and interact with afloat commanders and platforms. The MAST should be located in a prominent geographic position where its radar and sonobuoy processing capability can be best used. Detailed capabilities of the MAST are found in NTTP 3- 10.1, *Naval Coastal Warfare Operations*.

## Air Security Operations Center

The OCU, manned by the NSE, is established to manage the offload operation. This operation includes assigning lighters to ship lighterage control points, monitoring STS movement of lighters, ensuring safe lighterage operations, managing available craft, establishing lighter anchorage sites outside of the area, coordinating lighterage casualty evacuations, and controlling lighterage entry and exit to/from the offload area. When the operation commences, the OCU will be the key coordinating body for the lighter usage plan. The OCU must be physically located ashore or afloat in a position that affords the best visibility of the lighterage operating area.

## Mobile Operations Center

The air security operations center (ASOC) is led by the ASO and provides a critical capability that is focused on the potential air threat. The vulnerability of MPF operations to air attacks and the speed that attacks can occur requires a command and control node that can assimilate a complete air picture for the entire AAA. The ASOC provides a fused tactical picture from air surveillance sensors and systems. From the ASOC, various interdiction assets under the TACON of the ASO are directed to investigate, interdict, and neutralize suspected threats. Due to the extensive command, control, communications systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements for data collection and dissemination, the ASOC should be collocated with the headquarters element, the joint force air component commander (JFACC), or the JFMCC if no JFACC is establishedwhoever provides the greatest connectivity. The ASO is responsible for the ASOC's ability to
The mobile operations center (MOC) directs the movements of MESF security boats and landward security forces. Ideally, there should only be one MOC and it should be located in a position overlooking the harbor and lighterage lanes in order to best employ the MESF security boats and the landward security forces. However, depending on the scope of the offload and geographic constraints, there may be multiple MOCs. Each MOC takes reports from its designated area and forwards them to the LSO or SSO in the tactical operations center (TOC). While the SSO may also operate from a remote MOC dedicated to seaward security, it is normally collocated with the TOC.

 Assess the air security situation and recommend additional asset requirements to the FPO.
 Develop an air surveillance and security
response plan.
Note: The FSO, LSO, and SSO should be collocated in the TOC to provide optimum coordination.

 Ensure layered, overlapping surveillance coverage of the entire AAA.
 Establish and promulgate air security and air
exclusion zones.
 Coordinate with the host nation for air security.  Coordinate security response actions at the sea/
land/air contact point with the SSO, LSO, and FPO.
The mobile ashore support terminal (MAST)
system is collocated with and is an integral piece of equipment in MOC operations. The MAST is a mobile unit that is transportable by land, surface ship, or air, which provides versatile sensor, command, control, communications systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. These capabilities display the tactical

the TOC or co-locate with the OCU. If the MESF arrival is delayed, the CNSE will designate the OCU watch officer or other officer as SSO. Upon arrival, the MESF SSO is integrated with the defensive force structure only after situational awareness is satisfactory.

## Assignment Of Landward Security Officer

The beach support unit (BSU) is an element of the NSE, providing lighterage support and maintenance, ground transportation, and camp support operations. The BSU watch officer and staff direct and track BSU operations and maintain situational awareness of the broader NSE operations. In a benign operating environment, the BSU tracks literage status, transportation, and camp operations, but may have security responsibilities also.

## Navy Support Element Headquarters/Tactical Operations Center

The LSO is responsible for the coordination of all landward security forces, including all base reaction forces, ECP, perimeter defense, patrols, and convoy defense detachments. The LSO comes from MESF forces when deployed or from the Marine Corps or Army if a security element still exists in the base camp or joint security area (JSA). Alternatively, the CNSE may assign the beach support commander as the LSO. Figure 10-3, shows a landward security command and control structure. Forces participating in landward security of a base camp are under the FSO. The LSO directs all units participating in perimeter defense, reaction force, or ECP operations. This structure might include elements of the MESF or NSE line companies and be supported by available Marine Corps and Army security elements while they are in the offload area in the JSA.

The TOC is the command and control node for the CNSE. The TOC receives communications from the OCU, BPG, BSU, and the defense unit. Commander, maritime prepositioning force may direct the FSO to co-locate with the CNSE. The TOC coordinates all activities to successfully execute both STS movement and security missions. The TOC watch develops a fused common picture of throughput, movement, and force defensive actions, which improves watchstander efficiency, communications flow, and situational awareness on lighterage and security. This common picture, most importantly, is used to deconflict craft inbound to the HVAs and mitigate the possibility of fratricide. The TOC is best centrally located within the base camp that is both defensible and provides easy access to all surrounding security forces and command centers.

In order to prevent fratricide, it is imperative that fighting positions maintain good communication. The LSO should have communication with fighting positions, but additional communication should be provided between positions if possible.

## Assignment Of Seaward Security Officer And Boat Control

The SSO reports directly to the FSO on seaward security matters. This individual must be specifically trained for waterborne surveillance and force defense. The SSO is responsible for the security around the offload area and the coordination of all available waterborne security assets. The SSO is normally an officer from the MESF boat detachment with extensive training in security operations. The SSO may operate from

boats. The Coast Guard may also interact with host nation port security boats that are conducting waterborne security. If a Coast Guard PSU is assigned, the PSU commanding officer will assume SSO responsibilities.

## Harbor Defense

Harbor defense involves the protection and management of harbors, ports, anchorages, offload areas, shore facilities, strategic shipping, and naval ships against waterborne threats. Adequate harbor or beach defense requires a combination of CSW emplacements and boat patrols.

Maritime prepositioning force operations are primarily executed in a secure environment, level I or II threats must be anticipated. Force protection assets may be sourced from Army, Marine Corps, or Navy military police; Coast Guard port security units (PSUs); or the host nation. Seaward defense is further broken down into small boat operations and harbor defensive tactics. Landward defense discusses optimal base set up and the coordination of security patrols and convoy escort in the rear area.

## Seaward Security

Static, land-based CSW emplacements for seaward defense are deployed as needed on piers, on anchored or moored ships, or on the protected assets themselves to support waterborne operations. These emplacements are especially necessary when a limited number of boats are available. Since the primary function of these emplacements is for seaward defense, they report to the SSO, not the LSO. To ensure continuous coordination and avoid blue-on-blue situations, all shore CSW positions and patrol boats must be on the same tactical radio net. The SSO-controlled boat control net is the primary net, regardless of the forces providing security. The CSW emplacements only engage waterborne targets on approval from the SSO on the security boat control net.

Additional procedures for harbor defense can be found in MCWP 3-35.8 and NTTP 3-07.2.1.

## Patrol Boat Operations

With armed craft from multiple units trying to defend and operate within an offload area, beach, harbor, or port, the risk of fratricide is high. This danger is compounded during nighttime operations. To help mitigate this risk, seaward security is organized into two elementsharbor defense and boat patrols in the vicinity of the beach and base camp. The MESF patrol boats provide the primary defense against waterborne threats, but may be replaced or augmented by NSE or other forces. They actively patrol the waters near the beach area and around HVAs in the harbor area.

Additionally, patrol boats may be in a position to engage hostile forces on land. Prior to any patrol boats engaging enemy forces ashore, such action must be coordinated with the LSO using the FSO net, a communications architecture discussed later in this chapter, to prevent blue-on-blue engagements and to ensure that the landward threat is being engaged with the most effective defensive assets.

Boat detachments from the MESF are the primary units that conduct seaward security, but all units involved in seaward defense must understand the basics of boat patrols. In the event that MESF is delayed arriving in theater or is tasked in another area of operation, NSE MPF utility boats may be required to conduct security patrols. Full information on small boat tactics and security patrolling The Coast Guard is also organized, trained, and equipped to provide port security functions. If requested, the Coast Guard may provide PSUs, maritime safety and security teams, law enforcement detachments, boarding teams, and patrol procedures can be found in MCWP 3-35.8. The basic tactics used are sector or screen defenses.

boats are available, they will both be deployed near the outer edge of the sector they are protecting, beyond the ship offload area if possible. A
two-boat patrol can adequately cover approximately a 25 square nm harbor, beach approach, or security zone around an HVA. For both safety and security reasons, a single boat patrol should only be deployed as a last resort, taking into consideration the following factors

 Threat no greater than level 1.  Never for use on the open ocean.
 Must always be supported by floating barriers,
static weapons emplacements, and/or augmenting boats.
Patrol boats are lightly armed small crafts designed for close-in waterborne defense and are not equipped to engage hostile forces beyond a level II threat. The optimum minimum defensive posture is a three-boat patrol, with two boats operating forward of, around, or just beyond the offloading area and one boat maintaining its position in the rear near the beach approach to react to threats. A fourth boat should be kept in standby at a nearby safe haven, ready to augment as necessary if the threat escalates. These security boats will set up a security zone around the offload area. Threat, warning, and assessment areas are all parts of the security zone. For further information on security zones, see MCWP 3-35.8.

The single boat takes a position near the center of the area it is required to cover. The boat moves to the right or left as needed to intercept contacts. Upon disengagement from the COI(s), it should return to a central position immediately to be prepared for follow-on tasking.

Figure 10-4 shows an example of a three-boat patrol. If threat conditions warrant, one or two additional boats may be deployed outside the immediate harbor or beach approach to extend the range of interception and detection of contacts of interest (COIs) and escort vessels through approaches entering and leaving the operating area.

Boat Patrol Sector Defense. Lighterage lanes and HVA anchorages are surrounded by security zones. To conserve assets, the size and configuration of the security zone should be kept to the minimum necessary to ensure the safety of the protected assets. These designated security zones These additional boats should patrol out to 5 nm from the harbor or beach and, if escort is required, be prepared to escort craft out to the patrol boat operational limit of 15 nm. If only two are divided into patrol sectors. The size and configuration of the sectors depends on

 Threat capabilities.
 The SSO coordinates prosecution of the COI.
Other lighterage communication traffic should be kept to an absolute minimum while the contact prosecution is taking place.
 Threat axis.  Offload traffic.  Possible civilian harbor traffic.
 Once the situation has been resolved, the SSO
relinquishes control of the augment craft back to the OCU.
 Environmental conditions.
 The augment boat acknowledges the shift
again.
 Number of patrol boats available.
 The SSO relinquishes the net and returns to
guard.
Boat Patrol Screen Defense. Small boats may provide a security screen to protect the flanks of the operating area to and from the beach. The number of boats required depends largely on the distance from the offloading ships to the beach. At least two boats are needed on each flank. When the lanes are being actively used to move high value cargo and personnel to and from the beach, a security zone should be established on each flank.

The MPF utility boats and crews may have less experience or performance capability than an MESF craft conducting the same escort or security mission. The procedures in the following paragraphs apply to augment boats. If the time is available, the augment boat crews should be trained to work directly with the MESF. Lighterage is also employed for screen or sector defensive tactics:

## Augmenting Boats

 *Screen Defense*. In a flanking screen, the lighterage passes through a defended lighterage lane. The basic procedure is as follows:  OCU coordinates lighterage movements.  SSO coordinates small boat patrols to defend
the lighterage lanes.
 SSO maintains guard on the lighterage control net to maintain situational awareness.
 *Sector Defense*. In a sector defense, the lighterage passes from sector to sector. The small boat patrols may either randomly patrol assigned sectors while lighterage passes through the sectors without escort or provide close escort and conduct direct hand-off to small boats in adjacent sectors when the threat is significant.
When a limited number of MESF security boats are available, they may be augmented by craft of opportunity, such as NSE MPF utility boats or landing craft, mechanized (LCM) with weapons mounted. These craft may be anchored or stationed in a position to augment the security boats or tactically employed to cover patrol areas. Ideally, such assignments would be made during a preunderway brief. In a more short-duration situation, the tasking may be assigned to the NSE augment boat by radio as the threat events unfold, such as when a COI is entering a warning zone and the assigned security boat is prosecuting other COIs. With all communications on the lighterage control net, the recommended procedure is as follows:

 The SSO requests control of the augment boat.  The OCU watch officer responds and acknowledges that the SSO has control of the augment boat.
Figure 10-5 shows lighterage traveling from the offload area to the beach with two boats patrolling each flank of the screen. Figure 10-6 shows a lighterage escort within a sector defense. The MESF boats are tasked to escort lighterage from the anchorage/offload area into the harbor or beach. In this relatively extreme

the SSO.
example, the offload area is 15 nm from the beach. During planning, the distance of offload areas from the beach is a key consideration to ensure coverage by the MESF, other CCDR, or JFMCC assets if required.

Note: Three 5-nm by 5-nm sectors are em-
ployed in figure 10-6. Each sector is assigned
two boats with an additional two boats
patrolling the immediate harbor/beach area.
Using all boats in this manner may leave no
maintenance or stand down time for boats.

 If lighterage is not under close escort and is
passing through a security zone when it comes under threat
Figure 10-6 may require additional boats, either assigned from additional MESF forces or augmenting boats from the NSE. The procedure for this sector escort operation is

 The coxswain should immediately transmit a
request for assistance over the lighterage control net.
 The OCU watch officer controls the lighterage
control net and guards on the boat common net.
 The SSO monitors this net and will vector
escort boats to assist.
 The SSO guards on the boat common and
lighterage control nets and controls the security boat control net.
 If the lighterage has the means for self-defense, the coxswain must consider the ROE before engaging the enemy.
 Security boats coordinate with lighterage on
the boat common net and with the SSO on the security boat control net.
 If the coxswain does not see boats moving to
assist within 30 seconds, he should repeat the
call on the boat common net.
 Lighterage enters sector 1 and checks in with
the security boats on the boat common net.

## Landward Security

 The security boat escorts the lighterage to sector 2 and hands off defensive responsibilities to
the next boat patrol on the security boat control net. Escort and escort transfer procedures can
be found in NTTP 3-10.1.
The JFC has overall responsibility for rear area security. During MPF operations, Marine Corps forces continue to provide security for the marshalling area and may be delegated responsibility to coordinate area patrolling, depending on the tactical situation and threat. The LSO is responsible to the FSO for defense inside the beach offload area, base camp perimeter, and any designated satellite locations, such as airfields.

## Base Camp Defensive Force Structure

 If the lighterage coxswain sees a threat that its
escort boat may not be aware of, he should
pass the information over the lighterage control
net that the SSO is monitoring. The SSO, in control of the escort boat, will vector the escort boat as required. If the coxswain sees no response within 15 seconds, the he should pass the information directly to the escort over the boat common net.
 If the lighterage comes under threat of attack,
several things must be considered  The coxswain will take action as required to
defend the lighterage.
 If the lighterage has the means for self defense, the coxswain must consider the ROE before engaging the enemy.
 Lighterage personnel should hold fire on all
weapons on the side that escort craft are engaging to avoid a friendly fire incident with its escort craft.
The MESF AFP has landward garrison forces with small arms and CSW assets. Together with MAGTF security elements and host nation forces, the MESF provides security for the MPF operation. If the MESF AFP is properly sized, the NSE can concentrate on its primary mission without having to contribute to base camp security. Personnel assigned to supporting defensive operations should not be arbitrarily drafted from the populace; rather, they should comprise a previously identified trained security detachment trained in camp security, defense, and convoy TTPs. Each NSE base camp has a designated commander, which is usually the CNSE for NSE operations.

 In emergencies, lighterage coordinates fire
with its escort on the boat common net.
Base Camp Physical Security. The physical security arrangements for a base camp typically consist of the following:

 Secure outer fence perimeter.
All forces billeted in an NSE base camp should be prepared to assign 10 percent of their personnel to support the LSO's defensive force. Accordingly, these personnel should be identified and trained prior to deployment. In situations where augmentation is required and arriving units lack trained personnel, the FSO may conduct on-thejob training to ensure these forces contribute to the overall effort.

 Two ECPs (entrance gates with gate guards in
hardened positions). Access to the base camp should be through only one ECP with the second ECP reserved for emergency use. Security forces should provide overwatch of the ECP.
 Rapid reaction force of at least a 10-person
squad with two high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV) and mounted
weapons, such as an M2, M240B, or MK19.
 Fixed firing/fighting positions must provide a
total of 360-degree visibility and fields of fire.
For further information on rear area doctrine, see JP 3-10.

The PHIBCBs form the preponderance of the NSE's capability to provide personnel and equipment for camp defense, ECP security, convoy security, camp reaction forces for quick response to threats, and CSW emplacements for perimeter defense. The NBG, ACU, beachmaster unit, and NCHB can also contribute. The NSE forces trained in security operations may be integrated with the landward security structure as required or maintained as a ready response backup. The preferable situation is to base the NSE with the MPF MAGTF LFSP ashore until such time as it may be absorbed back into its parent LCE. This allocation enables the NSE to focus on its core responsibilities. Host nation security personnel may provide assets at key defensive areas, usually ECP, to act as local law enforcement/translators. The NSE and the host nation security force should exchange liaison personnel.

Patrolling. Patrolling is the primary means of ensuring rear area security and protecting the LOCs. Designated forces provide security patrols in the rear area in and around the beach offload site. Upon receipt of a warning order from the LSO, units ensure that the designated patrol leader develops and issues the patrol order, conducts a rehearsal, and coordinates with the communications officer so communications assets are met. In order to establish effective patrols, the following should be considered:

## Defensive Procedures

 The LSO and FPO will direct patrols and
maintain continuous communication.
 Patrols remain within covering range of the
CSWs unless otherwise directed.
 Security patrolling is a continuous action;
perimeter units ensure that the security area is constantly monitored without compromising fighting position readiness.
 Direct, face-to-face liaison shall be conducted
by both units (the patrol and the personnel on the line) at the initial passage point when the tactical situation allows.
The NSE forces integrate with rear area security forces to provide for deconfliction, mutual support, and a coordinated defense. The NSE security force does not normally deploy outside of the base camp perimeter unless conducting convoy security operations. For further information on defensive procedures, refer to JP 3-10, NWP 3-10, Naval Coastal Warfare, NTTP 3-10.1, and MCRP 3-41.1A, MAGTF *Rear Area Security*. Defensive procedures include base camp physical security and patrolling.

 A guide will be provided by the stationary unit
to guide the lead elements of the mobile patrol
unit to the release points.
 Recognition signals between the patrol and the
personnel staffing the security perimeter must be absolutely clear.
In a situation where MARFOR are conducting rear area security patrols, NSE and accompanying forces do not conduct defensive patrols outside the base camp. Careful coordination must exist between the LSO and the joint security coordinator (JSC) to ensure that perimeter defenders do not fire on friendly patrols. The JSC ensures that rear area patrols stay clear of defended base camps; however, perimeter defenders must be warned of potentially friendly forces operating in the rear area. This communication is coordinated between the FSO and the JSC on the security command net. For more information on patrolling, see MCWP 3-11.3, *Scouting and Patrolling*.

## Air Security

The air security response is the most notional of the three security nodes. Unlike landward security, airward security must be requested and integrated from completely non-MPF-related supported CCDR's assets. The air security response is a shared responsibility involving sea, air, and land force capabilities and coordinated by the ASO. Relatively few platforms possess the capability to encompass the entire air security picture from surveillance to engagement. Assets that may assist with the air security response include

 Navy surface combatants, such as cruisers or
destroyers.
 An amphibious ready group with an embarked
MEU.
 Host nation aviation assets or joint force aviation assets under the control of the JFMCC or JFACC when established.

## Communication Architecture

It is imperative that all defensive units can communicate on their assigned nets. A communications plan should be promulgated before any preplanned operation or one should be acquired by MESF forces arriving in theater.

## Navy Support Element Defensive Communications Nets

The recommended arrangement for the NSE
communications nets are

 *NSE Command Net*. The NSE command net,
controlled by CNSE, allows subordinate NBG commands to receive and communicate external reports to CNSE as required. It is an ultrahigh frequency (UHF) secure net using portable radio communications (PRC) or single-channel ground and airborne radio system (SINCGARS) radios.
 *Lighterage Control Net*. The OCU (or OCU
watch officer in the absence of an OCU) maintains overall control of this net. The OCU watch officer exercises control of craft as required. It is a UHF secure net using SINCGARS radios. The SSO monitors this net to maintain awareness of lighterage coming in and out of the seaward operating area and to pass information to assigned picket boats.
 *Convoy Internal Net*. The convoy commander
controls this UHF secure net. Convoys communicate internally as required using handheld radios.

## Security Force Nets

The recommended arrangement for defensive security force-related nets is as follows:

 *Security Command Net*. This net is a secure
voice net controlled by the JSC. It is used to communicate with the FSO and rear area commanders and is designated for force
coordinate seaward security operations and responses. Users include security boat patrol leaders and CSW teams covering seaward approaches to the area of operations. It is a UHF secure net using handheld radios.

protection issues related to subordinate commands. It is a UHF secure net using satellite communications (SATCOM) radios. This net is used to coordinate with Marine or Army rear area guards staffing checkpoints in the JSA of NSE convoys that are en route.

 *FSO Command Net*. This net is a secure voice
radio net continuously operating and guarded by the harbor defense commander and controlled by the commander, MSRON (or other
FSO). It is designated for force protection issues-related to subordinate commands,
including the SSO, MESF sensor detachments,
and the LSO. It is a UHF secure net using
PRC/SINCGARS radios.
 *Security Boat Control Net*. This net is a secure
voice radio net controlled by the SSO and used by security boat patrol leaders for security boat command, control, and coordination. It is a UHF secure net using PRC/SINCGARS radios. The NSE security boats may have difficulty complying with a UHF requirement because
SINCGARS radios in NSE MPF utility boats
being used as security boats may have to operate in the very high frequency (VHF) secure range depending on the type of SINCGARS radios available.
 *Camp Tactical Net (LSO Net)*. The LSO controls this net, which is the base security commander if the NSE is assigned to fill the LSO role. The LSO communicates tactical direction to and receives tactical reports from line companies and security command posts, convoys, and security patrols, as well as additional tactical information. It is a UHF secure net using SINCGARS radios.
 *Security Net*. The LSO controls this net on
which security reaction force personnel communicate updates from roving patrols, coordinate reaction squads, and report security issues to security command posts as required. This net is a UHF secure net using handheld radios. If MESF units are present in theater, NSE personnel under a MESF LSO in charge of landward base defense will use this net. It is also used as a coordinating net for ECP reports to the LSO and for the coordination of ECP security guards and convoys en route.
 *Boat Common Net*. This net is an unsecure
voice radio net used by afloat units for safety and navigation coordination and particular attention must be given to disclosures of potentially damaging information. A free net, it is controlled by the SSO and uses a predesignated VHF bridge-to-bridge channel. Boat crews will ensure that positive radio communications are established prior to getting underway and are maintained at all times with the officer in tactical command while underway, unless otherwise directed by appropriate emission control imposed by the officer in tactical command. Boat crews must maintain communications network integrity and be aware of each communications net during debarkation and patrol, especially when other flight, landing, or amphibious assault craft operations are underway. The security boats must monitor multiple communications nets.
 *SSO Net*. The SSO nets are secure voice radio
nets used and controlled by the SSO to

## Chapter 11 Intelligence

intelligence requirements; and supporting information systems operations.

## Command And Control

Detailed intelligence on the threat situation and unfriendly capabilities, vulnerabilities, and estimated COAs within the area of operations is critical to support early MAGTF planning requirements and decisionmaking. For uncertain conditions, similar intelligence is required on host country military, paramilitary, and law enforcement forces with which the MAGTF will need to coordinate operations.

## Weather Conditions And Key Infrastructure

The likely large geographic separation of the MAGTF commander and the CMPF will generally preclude forming a combined intelligence center as in an amphibious force. This situation, coupled with the geographic separation from the JTF, will challenge MPF command and control. Detailed command and control, intelligence CONPLANs, SOPs, area intelligence studies, and supporting information systems are critical to the support of early planning requirements.

## Required Intelligence Capabilities

Comprehensive, accurate intelligence on the weather conditions and key infrastructure questions is of critical concern to support MAGTF planning and decisionmaking. Early assessment of basic intelligence products and databases will satisfy most initial intelligence requirements. In particular, detailed and continually updated intelligence will generally be required on the following:

 Ports and harbors.  Airfields.
An MPF operation's required intelligence capabilities are similar to those of any other operation in that they must have the capacity to do the following:

 Roads, railways, and other LOCs.  Telecommunications and utility infrastructures.  Other key facilities in the area of operations.
 Perform intelligence preparation of the battlespace and situation development covering a broad maneuver space.

## Task Organization And Deployment Phasing

 Analyze threat forces to determine centers of
gravity and critical vulnerabilities.
 Conduct detailed terrain, hydrographic, port,
airfield, and LOCs analysis to support MPF operations.
 Ensure information systems connectivity and
interoperability with national, theater, and joint forces' intelligence assets, which provide intelligence support before the MPF MAGTF arrives in the area of operations.
The JTF, theater, and other Navy intelligence operations satisfy most MAGTF PIRs until organic MAGTF assets are operational in the area of operations. This situation places great importance on effective integration of joint, naval, and MAGTF intelligence planning and operations; clear identification of MAGTF PIRs and other

 Characteristics of the transportation network
between the port/beach and the airfield.
 Location and characteristics of potential
anchorages.
 Coordinate standoff collection assets that can
satisfy force requirements from beyond visual and radar range of the shoreline or "over-thehorizon."
 Hydrographic data, to include tides, currents,
beach gradient, composition, trafficability, beach frontage and depth, surf conditions, and channel information.
 Provide organic imagery, signals intelligence,
human intelligence, counterintelligence, remote sensor, geospatial information and services (GI&S), and ground and aerial reconnaissance assets that can satisfy MAGTF tactical collection requirements as the MPF enters its area of operations and starts operations.
 Predominant weather conditions and their
effects in the area, to include visibility, winds, flying conditions, astronomic data, and typical sea states.
 Incorporation of the FPOC into the intelligence
system.
 Coordinate dissemination systems that link
widely dispersed joint forces, NAVFOR, and
MARFOR afloat and ashore.

## Command Responsibilities Intelligence Requirements

Command intelligence responsibilities vary with each high-level command. Commands include the establishing authority, MAGTF, MPF, NSE, and the MPSRON.

## Responsibilities Of The Establishing Authority

Specific intelligence requirements will be situationally dependent. A good source to aid all planners with identifying intelligence requirements is the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity 1540-002-95, Generic Intelligence Requirements Handbook (GIRH). The following notional intelligence requirements reflect intelligence gaps typical for MPF operations:
The intelligence responsibilities of the establishing authority are to

 Determine, validate, and prioritize intelligence
requirements and consolidate intelligence needs of MPF elements.
 Threat force locations, dispositions, compositions, and activities within the AOR, particularly as they impact the requirement for a secure area and pose threats to MPS movement.
 Coordinate the collection, processing, production, and dissemination of intelligence to MPF elements.
 Review and forward requests for intelligence
and counterintelligence support.
 Location and characteristics of an airfield suitable for AMC and CRAF aircraft operations and the throughput capability to support the projected airflow.
 Establish liaison with appropriate intelligence
agencies.
 Location and characteristics of an adequate
port/beach for timely offload of the MPSRON. A port must have sufficient water depth, overhead clearance, and maneuver room for the
ships.
 Coordinate the production and dissemination of
all-source intelligence/counterintelligence studies, estimates, and other products to support MPF requirements.

## Responsibilities Of The Magtf Commander Responsibilities Of The Commander, Naval Support Element And Commander, Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadron

The intelligence responsibilities of the MAGTF
commander are to
The CNSE and COMPSRON must

activities as part of the overall targeting function.
 Coordinate with other MPF elements for intelligence planning.
 Identify intelligence command and control and
information systems requirements.

## Responsibilities Of The Commander, Maritime Prepositioning Force

Intelligence responsibilities of the CMPF are to
Because of the nature of MPF operations and the variety of OPLANs, MPF elements may receive intelligence support from more than one unified command. Intelligence support is provided by intelligence agencies or organizations in response to validated intelligence requirements forwarded and validated through appropriate operational chains of command. This support may come from national agencies or in theater, joint, or naval organizations

 Some national agencies include

## Chapter 12 The Communications Plan

communications systems and coordination of the entire communications network.

 Assignment of call signs, frequencies, communications security (COMSEC) equipment, keymats, codes, and authentication systems.
 Instructions on countermeasures, cover and
deception, security, recognition and identification, NAVAIDS, and other special communications and electronic functions.
 Communications-electronics logistic support.
The communications plan reflects the command and control requirements of the establishing authority, the MAGTF commander, and the CMPF. Communications systems connect commanders, enabling them to exercise command and control requirements, whether commercial (host nation, United States, or multinational), military (United States or multinational), or a combination of both. Communications planning starts during the development of an OPLAN (execution planning) and continues through all phases of planning.

 Communications with AMC command and
control agencies during all phases of the operation.

## Content Of The Communications Plan

The communications plan is prepared in detail for use by commanders at all echelons. The format should be standardized for use by any unit assigned to support the MPF operation. Information and instructions in the plan could be provided in annex or appendix form, reducing the preparation and reproduction necessary and minimizing errors.

## Planning Factors

The communications plan must consider internal and external command and control requirements for each phase of the MPF operation. It must support mobilization from home stations, during en route movement and arrival and assembly, and for force employment. The communications plan must be adaptable to changes in activities, command relationships, and task organization. The plan details the circuits, channels, and facilities required to support the MPF operation and should include the following:
When constructing a communications plan, the following factors should be considered:

 General coverage of the communications situation, including assumptions, guiding principles, and the CONOPS for communications employment.
 Communications equipment and COMSEC
material must be compatible and of sufficient quantity to support all phases of the MPF operation.
 An announcement of the communications mission.
 Delegation of communications tasks and
responsibilities to MPF elements.
 Detailed instructions on the organization,
installation, operation, and maintenance of
 Communications requirements change during
phases. Coordination between MPF elements and supporting units is necessary so that essential communications requirements are continually met. Communications requirements vary with the location and method of employment.
 Supervise MPF communications.  Ensure that all communications shortfalls are
consolidated and addressed to the CCDR.
 The use of Service and foreign civilian communications systems should be maximized to be consistent with OPSEC and COMSEC policies.

## Responsibilities Of The Magtf Commander

The MAGTF commander must

 Prepare the MAGTF's communications plans
for MPF and subsequent operations.
 The location of the MPF operation dictates the
extent of coordination required within and among areas of operation. Communications systems must support command and control requirements whether the operation is independent or an augmentation. Independent operations require a standalone communications plan; augmentation operations require a plan
that complements the augmented force's communications plan.
 Activate the communications systems to
include the deployable Global Command and Control System (GCCS) capability to support
internal and external MAGTF command and
control.
 Identify requirements during each phase of the
MPF operation.

 Supervise FPOC communications.
Each major element is responsible for establishing and maintaining required communications with its subordinate elements. The establishing authority ensures that supporting commands that are unique to the marshalling phase are included in appropriate communications plans. Any MAGTF internal communications must support the orderly marshalling of units, personnel, and equipment for air movement. Commercial and existing systems, augmented by minimum tactical circuits, provide the primary means of communication. Tactical communications must be provided by units external to the deploying MAGTF. The NTF will rely on organic systems.

## External Communications

The establishing authority ensures that joint communications facilities are available for marshalling forces. External communication for the MAGTF is provided by existing commercial and garrison (base) facilities or by units external to the deploying MAGTF. For example, the MAGTF establishes communication with AMC through the CRG at the APODs and APOEs. Forces marshalling at airfields rely on MAGTF communications systems. The NTF uses existing communications systems.

## Movement Phase

The MPF elements deploy their forces to the AAA by different modesthe MAGTF by air, the MPSRON by surface. The resultant communications requirements are satisfied by a variety of means. The movement phase is generally characterized by increased reliance on deployable, tactical systems as MPF command and control requirements shift to the AAA.

## Internal Communications

Elements of the MPF must establish reliable communications with their subordinate elements. Requirements are normally satisfied with existing systems. The CMPF ensures that communication is kept to a minimum because of limited available circuits. A combination of host nation commercial telephones and single-channel radios, which are provided by the supporting organization, establishes connectivity between APOEs, APODs, en route advanced bases, forward logistic sites or intermediate staging bases, and the AAOG; however, host nation communications assets should be kept to a minimum to maintain OPSEC. Once the AAOG is established, the MAGTF establishes communications with the MEF operations center and the DACGs at APOEs to initiate ITV and JTAV of FIE personnel and equipment. The CRG provides communications for the AMC command and control system at departure, arrival, and en route airfields. Designed to provide AMC positive control over AMC aircraft, this net offers a possible alternate means to pass emergency traffic. The SLRP is one of the first MPF elements to deploy. It is supported by a MAGTF communications team with sufficient capability to communicate with the MAGTF's main body if there is no other means of communication. Once the NSE begins movement, its communications connectivity depends on aircraft communications assets while airborne and base communications facilities during aircraft en route stops. The MPSRON uses existing communications systems or requests augmentation from a NEAT detachment.

## External Communications

The previously identified types of communications between MPF elements remain available. The establishing authority should ensure that communication within the AAA is integrated. Any MAGTF communication to the CMPF (and adjacent commands as required) is accomplished through home station facilities and communications systems activated in the AAA. Secure en route communication is required to ensure the commander has positive command and control of the MAGTF throughout the movement phase. A limited MAGTF capability exists with the employment of portable SATCOM equipment at en route stops. Maritime prepositioning ships squadron relies on existing systems.

## Arrival And Assembly Phase

Arrival and assembly is the most crucial phase of the MPF operation. Because of scope, operational intensity, and wide dispersion of units, the communications system required for command and control becomes increasingly complex. Effective communications must be established for efficient functioning of all elements.

## Internal Communications

Proper identification and coordination of internal communications requirements are important to successful arrival and assembly operations. Close staff liaison must be maintained from the outset of the execution planning phase to ensure that all communications requirements are identified.

The MAGTF tactical communications system is installed, operated, and maintained as personnel and equipment arrive in the AAA and MPE/S becomes available. Initially, the MAGTF must rely on single-channel radio, but, when multichannel radio and telephone systems are activated, single-channel radio systems become a secondary means of communication. Communications nodes for DMS traffic for MAGTF
elements shift from home-based communications centers to tactical communications centers. The communications architecture must support the data transfer of accountability information as in MDSS II throughput within the AAA, using wireless modems, local area networks (LANs), and wide area networks. The MDSS II and associated ship and aircraft load plan files require robust communications architecture due to their size. The MPSRON uses existing communications systems. Navy and Marine Corps units must bring interoperable, handheld radios to conduct shipboard operations.

## External Communications

Forces rely on deployable communications systems for DMS traffic and telephone service, but existing host nation assets are also used as much as possible with due consideration for OPSEC. The establishing authority should employ host nation communications facilities (if available and capable of providing the desired service) and keep the CCDR informed about communications capabilities. A separate communications facility is required for classified message traffic. The MAGTF's external communications are provided from secure voice, DMS traffic, GCCS (SECRET Internet Protocol Router Network [SIPRNET]), e-mail (Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network [NIPRNET]), and data transfer. Essential external connections are provided from MAGTF assets. Dedicated and special purpose circuits may require the use of joint staff- or CCDR-controlled communications assets. The MPSRON, naval coastal warfare unit, and NEAT use existing communications systems. The COMPSRON provides an alternate communications guard for the NSE or other MPF elements. Marine air-ground task force SATCOM assets include the enhanced AN/TSC-93B transportable ground receiver suite. These assets provide initial command, control, communications systems, and intelligence systems connectivity and support to rapidly establish a forward-deployed MAGTF headquarters. The AN/TSC-93B is sourced from the communications battalion as required. Table
12-1 and table 12-2, on page 12-6, show the equipment and personnel that are needed for MAGTF SATCOM.

## Reconstitution Phase

During in theater reconstitution, to the extent that OPSEC will allow, users employ commercial telephone systems, including mobile international maritime satellite systems with

## Chapter 13 Logistic Planning

Logistic planning must be comprehensive, provide maximum flexibility, and address the multifaceted character of the operation, including the following:

 Integration with existing logistic systems. To
reduce deployment and unique support requirements, one goal in MPF logistic planning is to use existing logistic systems and infrastructure as much as possible.
 Marshalling and movement to POEs.  Interrelated air and sea movements.
 Maximum use of host nation and inter-Service
support.
 Arrival and reception in the AAA.
 Preparing and distributing MPE/S.  Supporting tactical operations.  Reconstitution operations.

## The Objective And The Planning Continuum

Planning must focus on providing continuous support for the duration of the MPF operation, subsequent employment operations, and establishment of a logistic/sustainment pipeline through normal channels. Plans to support an MPF operation must be consistent with plans to support subsequent operations.

## Using Existing Facilities

While the MAGTF employment mission is not part of the overall MPF operation, the commander's CONOPS for that mission drives logistic planning. The objective of logistic planning is to anticipate requirements and incorporate them within and across the planning continuum as follows:

 Logistic requirements based on the mission,
CONOPS, troop lists, equipment lists, operational environment, and enemy capabilities.
Since constraints affect logistic planning, the logistic plan must use existing facilities to meet requirements and the planner must develop the concept of logistic support to maximize their use. Those facilities include beaches, ports, arrival and tactical airfields, and the intratheater transportation network.

 The time-phasing of CSS capabilities into the
area of operations.

## Beaches

 LCE task organization.
Some key factors to consider regarding beaches are as follows:

 Egress and transportation networks to inland
destinations.
 Developing the CSS concept of the broad functional areas of supply, maintenance, transportation, general engineering, health services, and other services. See MCWP 4-11, Tactical-
Level Logistics.
 Availability of staging areas near offload
points.
 Sustainment based on the length of the operation.
 Availability of bulk fuel storage facilities.
 Offload planning.
 Suitable near-shore and offshore hydrographic
conditions.
 Sufficient MHE and dunnage to offload transport aircraft.
 Landing points and safe havens for lighterage.
 Airfield lighting to support 24-hour operations.
 Availability of ammunition storage sites.

## Tactical Airfields Ports

Key factors to consider regarding ports are -
Tactical airfields require several considerations. They include fuel requirements, storage areas, maintenance and supply, rescue and firefighting, weather, and air traffic control.

 Berthing to accommodate ships of the
MPSRON, such as water depth, length, overhead clearance, and maneuver room.

## Fuel Requirements

 Port services, such as  NAVAIDS, pilots, tug
boats, oily water discharge, or hotel services.
 Offload capability, such as pier space, staging
areas, covered storage areas, pier width, available cranes, capacity, or MHE availability.
 Proximity to the arrival airfield, UAAs, and
beach.
 MSRs availability.

## Arrival Airfields

Key factors to consider regarding arrival airfields are as follows:
Fuel requirements involve the type, quantity, and quality of POL the host nation is willing to provide and the compatibility of systems, whether host nation to US aircraft or host nation to TAFDSs. Maximum use of existing storage and transportation facilities is critical because the initial POL offload saturates tactical systems. The number of TAFDS sites is based on the location of aircraft and the need for separate fueling areas. Installation spacewith safety buffer zones and room for expansion of systems must be considered in addition to interference with other airfield facilities. See MCWP 4-11.6, Petroleum and Water Logistics Operations, and JP 4-03, Joint Bulk Petroleum and Water Doctrine.

 Runways and taxiways that can support AMC/
CRAF aircraft.

## Class V(A) Issue, Loading, Arming/Dearming, And Storage Areas

 Sufficient capacity to support the arrival and
assembly planmaximum (aircraft) on ground (MOG).
 Aircraft staging areas for MOG area sufficient
for AMC/CRAF and MAGTF air operations.
Procedures must be established before tactical aircraft arrive. The Class V(A) ordnance storage area should be as close as possible to the aircraft loading area, but far away enough to comply with existing explosive safety regulations.

## Aircraft Maintenance And Supply Support

 Instruments and NAVAIDS. An ATC capability with radar-assisted landings and takeoffs and effective radar surveillance and communications sufficient to achieve positive airspace control is desired.
 Availability of staging areas for temporary
staging of airlifted elements, such as personnel and cargo.
All MAGTF aircraft initially receive organizational maintenance using support equipment offloaded from the MPSRON and supplies from the fly-in support package (FISP) that accompanies the FIE. If the T-AVB is deployed, intermediate maintenance activity (IMA) mobile maintenance

 All-weather transportation networks linking
the airfield with the beach/port UAAs and TAAs.
facilities can be configured into administrative or working modules during the transit to the AAA. If a portion of the IMA remains afloat, space for maintenance and supply facilities at the airfield may be reduced.

## Aircraft Rescue And Firefighting

solely on the road network to conduct arrival and assembly operations. All aspects of the theater's transportation grid should be employed if they are usable and economical. Normally, the MAGTF can adequately transport itself approximately 50 miles from the beach and port facilities. If HNS cannot provide sufficient line haul capabilities past 50 miles, the MAGTF commander may consider requesting Army transportation assets to augment the LCE's capabilities.

Tactics, geography, dispersal of aircraft, availability of host nation assets, bulk water source for operations, training, and readiness must be considered when planning aircraft rescue and firefighting requirements.

## Sequencing The Fly-In Echelon Weather

Weather services may be provided by the establishing authority, MAGTF commander, CMPF, AMC commander, or the host nation.

## Air Traffic Control

The sequence and flow of airlifted and flight ferry elements include selected supplies and equipment not prepositioned but required during the first 30 days of operations. There may be latitude to adjust the flow depending on logistic requirements. Sequencing the FIE should give the planner flexibility to deploy critical supplies or equipment to the area of operations.

## Aviation Logistics Support Ship

Host nation ATC facilities and available services may require augmentation. The ATC should include a flight clearance capability to process flight plans and integration of the host nation ATC facility with the Marine air control squadron. Requirements for engineer support vary with airfields and may include the following:

 Clearing obstructions from aircraft operating
areas and apron overrun.
 TAFDS installation.  Utilities, including an airfield power supply.  Horizontal and vertical construction.  Water production.  Arresting gear installation.  Heavy equipment and MHE.  Installing an EAF.

## Intratheater Transportation Network

Intratheater transportation networks encompass roads, bridges, canals, pipelines, railroads, barges, or aircraft. The MAGTF should not rely The T-AVB is an asset for deployment of a portion of the Marine aviation logistics squadron (MALS). Ships are configured to provide MALS services for fixed-wing and rotary-wing/ tilt-rotor aircraft. The T-AVBs provide dedicated sealift for movement of the tailored MALS (see app. N for T-AVB characteristics). The two T-AVBsone on each coastare under MSC ADCON and operate in a five-day reduced operating status (ROS-5), that is, ready for transit to the SPOE not later than 5 days after direction to activate. Any MAGTF operations lasting longer than 30 days should activate a T-AVB. The MALS would require approximately 160 additional intertheater airlift sorties for movement to the AAA or objective area if the T-AVB is not employed. Use of the T-AVB requires the logistic planner to address the following:

 Timely T-AVB activation to allow sea trials
and transit to the desired SPOE.
 Provisions for MALS shutdown, preparation
for embarkation, and provisions of interim support for aircraft at home bases.
 Operating procedures for the MALS en route
and within the objective area. Procedures must
include the method for transporting materiel to and from the T-AVB.
 Capability to offload and establish the MALS
in theater.

## Host Nation Support

Although logistic support is considered a national or Service responsibility, participation in multinational, joint, and combined operations requires an examination of logistic support provided by host nations in view of transportation and other constraints. Greater use of HNS during training and exercises ensures developing support procedures that will help

 Request assistance from multinational, joint,
and combined forces' logistic agencies.
 Develop HNS facilities and plans.  Reimburse the host nation for any property or
materiel damages.
 Better understand interoperability capabilities.  Use HNS contractor support.

## Standardization

Standardization enhances the force's ability to use HNS. Current editions of both Navy and Marine Corps directives provide standardization policies and establish procedures to review and implement international standardization agreements. Some HNS may be used to provide a service or function not available through Service channels. It may also be used to provide equipment that is unique to a country, such as hose couplings or railcar tie-down devices, or to provide support that is avail-able through Service channels, but not readily deployable because of lift or other constraints.

## Host Nation Support Developed By Service Teams

The CCDR represents the United States in HNS negotiations, but may delegate authority to develop and negotiate HNS agreements through joint or Service teams, such as SLRP members. These teams represent the forces in need of HNS, which is usually developed by Service teams in the following sequence:

 Identification of needs in a statement of
requirements by the requesting agency, such as the host nation or the unified CCDR or force.
 Statement of supportability by the host nation.  Negotiation of support agreement.  Finalization of HNS.

## Advance Liaison Officers

Early in planning, requirements must be identified with special attention to those peculiar to the nature of the operation and the area of operations. Those LNOs who are aware of total force requirements for HNS should conduct advance liaison and negotiation of support agreements with the host nation representatives.

## Inter-Service Support Agreements

Through the judicious use of ISSAs, MAGTF commanders can reduce logistic personnel, materiel, and facilities needed to support the MAGTF without sacrificing the quality and responsiveness of logistic support. Such agreements should

 Eliminate duplication.  Provide for expansion for peak loads.  Respond to the operational and technical requirements of the major subordinate commands.
COR might be required to coordinate actions with the JFC's joint contracting center.

 Avoid over-consolidation of logistic support,
which would add risk to combat forces by reducing operational mobility and effectiveness.
 Provide for an appropriate liaison to meet the
needs of support units.

## Supply

Specific functions that are especially suited for the use of ISSAs include line haul, port operations, use of salvage assets, use and management of real estate, base development, general support engineering tasks, and food and water support. Planning should be done before arranging maintenance and supply ISSAs. Specific guidance for ISSAs can be found in Marine Corps directives 7000 series. Thorough planning is required when arranging maintenance and supply ISSAs.

## Acquisition And Cross-Servicing Agreements And Implementing Agreements

Supply planning, specifically for marshalling and movement, is similar to that for amphibious operations with the exception of providing rations, fuel, and repair parts at intermediate airfields for the airlifted and flight ferry elements. Planning must ensure that materiel/material not prepositioned, such as specialized ordnance or CLD/HD
equipment, is included in the FIE. The MAGTF commander and CMPF must prescribe loads for the FIE to support operations before offloading prepositioned stocks. Planning should consider inter-Service and HNS agreements, particularly for the SLRP, advance party, and the AAOG. The MAGTF commander must prescribe stockage levels and distribution means, whether unit or supply point, in the AAA pending esta-blishment of a permanent CSSA. The MAGTF commander may be responsible for providing logistic support to Navy elements ashore. See MCWP 4-11.7, MAGTF Supply Operations.

Acquisition and cross-servicing agreements and implementing agreements allow the exchange of goods and services (nonmunitions) among military forces with specific nations. This exchange allows some flexibility in logistic planning and diminishes delays in operational readiness due to logistic shortfalls if the host nation can provide some logistic support.

## Contingency Contracting

Based on offload timelines and experience, commanders should anticipate that only minimal MPE/S will be available for initial distribution before O+6. Adequate supply distribution before O+6 can be enhanced by using capability sets and specified offload priorities. By O+6, the AAOG should enable throughput of sufficient Class III, IV, VIII, and IX items to sustain arriving forces through O+10 to allow for support from the CSSA to begin. Therefore, commanders should plan for and deploy forces with appropriate quantities of supplies and equipment to last until O+6.

## Class ISubsistence

A sufficient quantity of MREs are prepositioned to feed the notional MPF MEB as identified in the current Marine Corps Bulletin (MCBul) 3501, Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF)
Contingency contracting is the process of contracting for locally available supplies and services for immediate support of a deployed MAGTF. It fills needs not satisfied by MPE/S, the logistics civilian augmentation program, HNS, or military sources. Short of a declaration of war or relief through statutory/regulatory waivers, normal contracting procedures must be followed. When statutory relief is unattainable, the contracting officer/COR may pursue nonstatutory waivers where feasible. The SLRP contracting officer/COR should deploy with sufficient cash to initiate key HNS contracts. The contract officer/

## Class IiiPetroleum, Oils, And Lubricants

Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) Force List
(F/L), and the accompanying NSE detachment for 30 days (1 day of supply = 3 meals/1 ration).

Intent is to feed at least one hot meal each day starting on O+21. Rations to support these "hots" must come from the follow-up shipping or HNS. Table 13-1 may be used in accordance with the notional force arrival plan to develop the support needed to meet force closure and standup timelines and requirements.

There is a standardized core block of Class III
packaged POLfor aviation and ground items. This core block can be modified to meet mission requirements within funding and storage constraints. Sufficient aviation-packaged POL should be included in the main body and flight ferry to support arriving aircraft buildup and servicing in the AAA. Aviation-packaged POL is prepositioned in sufficient quantities to support assigned AGSE from O+10 through O+30. The SLRP will deploy with 7 days of supply (DOS)
of packaged POL to support its equipment as determined by the MEF assistant chief of staff G-4. The advance party will deploy with 3 DOS to support its equipment.

## Class IvConstruction Material Class IiClothing, Individual Equipment, Tools, And Administrative Supplies

Limited quantities of Class IV material are prepositioned for barrier, bunker, and shelter construction. Prepositioned core block stocks are retained by the LCE in the CSSA and are issued as needed.

## Class VAmmunition

Commanders provide prescribed loads for TOE weapons being deployed with personnel on the OPP, SLRP, advance party, and main body. Prescribed loads are established in the deployment order and issued before moving to the APOE.

## Class ViPersonal Demand Items

No personal support items are included in prepositioned stocks. Personnel should include personal supplies in their packs for 10 days. A resupply block of items, such as soap, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving cream, toothbrushes, towels, razor blades, sewing kits, or lip balm, deploys in Commanders deploy administrative supplies in the advance party to support operations through O+10. Unit publications and directives required for 30 days of operations deploy with the main body as palletized or mobile loaded cargo. Each MPSRON has a library that provides sufficient administrative publications and technical manuals for use by the MCMC. Units should deploy their maintenance and supply publications; however, the publications aboard the MPS could be transferred to the MAGTF if required. Sufficient individual CBRN PPE must be included in the FIE for the required capability to conduct a CBRN defense. One CBRN set for each Marine is currently in the prepositioning objective. Commanders include CBRN detection devices/kits in the main body. The MEF is provided a list of SL-3 deficiencies for Class II items at the end of each ship's MMC.

the follow-up shipping for distribution by the LCE. Sustainment should be planned for and initiated upon deployment.

## Class ViiMajor End Items

shield exposed skin from blister agents. Planning for FIE CBRN HSS is a joint responsibility of medical and CBRN staff officers, as guided by the supported CCDR's deployment requirements. The LCE medical detachment is responsible for acquiring, embarking, distributing, and tracking antidotes.

## Class IxRepair Parts

Only those PEIs authorized by the MEF and identified on the unit equipment reports are deployed in the FIE. When using unit responsibility items/supply support responsibility items are not attained, the MEF G-3 MPF cell/MEF G-4
requests sourcing from COMMARFORCOM or COMMARFORPAC before deployment. The LCE is responsible for deploying all such shortfalls sourced by COMMARFORCOM or COMMARFORPAC. The MEF G-3 MPF cell/ MEF G-4 provides a list of shortfall items not attained by the MAGTF command element. The MEF is provided a list of SL-3 deficiencies for Class VII items at the end of each ship's MMC.

All three MPSRONs have a standardized set of Class IX parts referred to as the Class IX core block that include a standard battery block. If an MSE is authorized CLD/HD repair parts, it must include those items in the FIE because there are none available in the core block. Commanders will approve specific CLD/HD items for deployment. Eight DOS of batteries should be embarked for equipment deploying with the SLRP, four for MSE advance parties, and one for MSE main body equipment.

## Class ViiiMedical Materials Class XMaterials For Nonmilitary Programs

Class X supplies are not prepositioned aboard MPSs. These supplies are embarked in the FIE or provided from alternative sources.

## Maintenance

The AMAL and ADAL consist of equipment/ consumable supplies required by the deploying force. They are prepositioned to support 15 days of combat operations. The LCE is responsible for deploying short-shelf-life items, controlled medicines, and precious metals for the prepositioned AMALs and ADALs. Initial acute care and surgical capabilities are prepositioned for easy access on each ship to provide rapid emergency medical capabilities during the initial stages of the offload. Commanders deploy unit sick call chests and one individual surgical instrument and supply set for each corpsman.

Maintenance planning for marshalling and movement focuses on efforts to ensure that equipment programmed in the FIE is serviceable. Special attention is necessary for FIE AGSE and FISP, since, combined, they must be fully capable of supporting ACE arrival and assembly operations until ships are offloaded. Planning must also include maintenance of flight ferry aircraft at intermediate airfields. Maintenance planning for arrival and assembly focuses on depreservation and preparation of equipment for issue. First priority must be placed on equipment for deployment support elements; then the priority shifts to equipment for subsequent operations. Personnel With respect to CBRN HSS, 15 DOS of nerve agent antidote injectors are prepositioned in AMALs. The requirement for antidotes and pretreatments to address a specific theater threat must be included in the FIE. Examples could include ciprofloxacin for biological warfare agents, pyridostigmine bromide for nerve agent pretreatment, and a topical skin protectant to must segregate damaged equipment in addition to equipment that requires urgent modification or corrective maintenance. Repairs are made only as the depreservation workload permits. The MAGTF commander must develop maintenance capabilities at the beach/port and arrival airfields. Maintenance skills must match the equipment that is scheduled to arrive at those locations. Planners must consider facilities and shelters for maintenance during inclement or extreme weather conditions and for unique aircraft support requirements that includes the reassembly of helicopters.

## Deployment And Distribution

The marshalling and movement phases of an MPF operation are intensive and typically timesensitive. Planners must designate marshalling areas, identify transportation requirements, establish control agencies, designate staging and inspection areas, and establish procedures for command and control, communications, and coordination. The movement plan for MPF operations is considerably more complex than that for amphibious operations. At a minimum, it must address airlift of the FIE, FISP, flight ferry, sea movement of the MPSRON, and command and control of the movement, including coordination and monitoring of departures from all POEs and arrivals at all PODs. Deployment and distribution efforts during the arrival and assembly phase focus on supporting the offload. Plans for movement of personnel and equipment from the arrival airfield to UAAs must be detailed and address the use of MHE and landing support assets. The MAGTF commander establishes MCCs and procedures to efficiently manage this effort.  For more detailed information on unit marshalling, movement, and deployment operations see MCRP 4-11.3G and NTTP 4-01.5.

## General Engineering

For marshalling and movement, engineers may have to construct additional facilities at marshalling and staging areas or improve facilities or roads to accommodate increased use. The primary concern is in the AAA. Engineer tasks focus on improving beach, port, and airfield facilities, including refrigeration container hookups, and providing MEP to enhance throughput capabilities. Construction of fuel, ammunition, water storage facilities, and road maintenance/improvements occurs simultaneously. Control of engineer assets should be centralized throughout the arrival and assembly phase. An MPF MEB most likely has a task-tailored NCR or an NMCB attached. Joint engineer assets may also be available.

## Health Services

For the marshalling and movement phases, MPF elements rely primarily on organic capabilities and use local facilities as necessary. During the arrival and assembly phase, plans should emphasize the use of host nation or other Service capabilities as much as possible. Health services, such as the EMF, require CCDR and Service coordination and Reserve activation. The MAGTF coordinates with the establishing authority and adjacent commands for aeromedical evacuations. For more information see MCWP 4-11.1, Health Service Support Operations, and JP 4-02, Health Service Support.

## Services

Water, electric power, law enforcement, and traffic control are the primary concerns during marshalling and movement. Planning for arrival and assembly focuses on AIS support, utilities support, civil affairs, contracting, and disbursing

## Commercial Line Haul Support

services. Civil affairs personnel are the liaisons with the host nation. The disbursing unit must be prepared to pay for functional area services and HNS. See MCWP 4-11.8, Services in an Expeditionary Environment.

## Washdown And Agricultural Inspection

Substantial line haul support is required, especially when UAAs and TAAs are more than 50 miles from beach and port areas. Consideration should be given to this support during planning conferences. Any HNS, ISSAs, and contracting for transportation reduces the amount of lift required to support exercises.

## Equipment Issue And Return

Commanders must plan for the washdown of equipment with the agricultural inspection, which entails a substantial amount of prior planning and coordination. For example, 250,000 gallons of fresh water are required to clean the equipment and containers for an MPF MEU slice. Equipment and supplies for washdown must be administratively retrograded to the port area. Early liaison with regional agricultural inspectors provides specific inspection criteria for all MPE/S to be backloaded aboard the MPS or returned to CONUS. For MPF exercises, the MAGTF G-4/S-4 coordinates the washdown while the LCE, augmented by other MSEs, is normally tasked with its execution.

The AAOG coordinates with the OPP Marine representativewho may be the assistant OIC, the MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd), TAAT OIC, or CORand the LFSP to determine and track MPE/S offloaded. Frequently, and especially during exercises, MPE/S are offloaded that were not previously planned to be offloaded because of vehicle breakdowns and blockages of critical offload paths. The MDSS II is the primary AIS used to coordinate throughput and accountability for offloaded MPE/S.

## Packing, Packaging, And Preservation Issue Procedures

For exercises, the officer conducting the exercise plans embarkation of sufficient PP&P-trained personnel and materials to preserve all equipment. For reconstitution, the PP&P function would be task-organized into the SPMAGTF/LCE.

## Trash And Hazardous Materials

Procedures can vary depending on type of offload, whether pierside or in-stream, and other variables.

Generally, accountability transfers from the MCMC to a MEF/MAGTF representative, such as the MOLT, as MPE/S are offloaded and a consolidated asset list is generated by the MCMC. Throughout the offload, staging, and receipt process, LOGMARS/barcode labels for vehicles, equipment, and supplies are scanned to track movement and transfer of accountability from the MOLT to major subordinate command or MSEs at various UAAs as MPE/S are delivered. Scan data reports are used for interim receipts until a CMR is generated. At a point designated by the AAOG commander, the receiving unit and the Generally, disposing trash, human waste, and HAZMAT are functions that can be contracted using sources within the exercise area. Normally, these arrangements are made during the exercise planning conferences. Specific attention must be given to disposing medical waste, POL, and lithium batteries.

MCMC perform a JLTI before responsibility of the MPE/S is passed to the using unit.

## "Frustrated" Maritime Prepositioning Equipment And Supplies

Those MPE/S that cannot be properly identified because of missing LOGMARS/barcode labels or identification plates are kept and accounted for by the LFSP in a "frustrated lot" until it is determined to which unit the item is assigned. Using MDSS II, the AAOG reconfirms the items' assignment and coordinates their distribution with the LFSP and AAOEs. The AAOG serves as the distribution authority for all "frustrated" MPE/S.

## Excess Maritime Prepositioning Equipment And Supplies Lots

Excess lots are areas designated by the LFSP to hold MPE/S that were not required by the MAGTF but were offloaded because they blocked critical paths, were offloaded in error, or were deemed unneeded by the MAGTF commander because of changing requirements. The AAOG directs MPE/S to excess MPE/S lots, which can be established at sites determined by the LFSP. The LFSP is also accountable for items stored in these lots and their security. As the MPF
operation continues, requests for MPE/S held in the excess lot are submitted from the AAOE to the AAOG. Only the AAOG acting for the MAGTF commander can authorize removing MPE/S from the excess lot. During exercises, MPE/S in excess lots normally remain in place until prepared and staged for backload.

## Return Procedures

During an exercise, the return of MPE/S is coordinated among the TAAT OIC, MAGTF commander, MCMC, and the exercising unit. An SPMAGTF/LCE is the liaison between the using unit and the TAAT. A JLTI is conducted between the MCMC and exercising unit on all offloaded equipment. Upon completing the JLTI, the unit uses the original packing material and dunnage as much as possible to represerve equipment. When an item requiring repair is returned to the MPS, the condition of the item and the required repairs are annotated on the JLTI form. Units, whether during an exercise or operation, turn over all equipment repair orders, equipment repair order shopping lists, and other documents relating to maintenance performed to the MCMC. The MCMC signs the consolidated asset list indicating receipt of equipment and updates the applicable maintenance AIS for MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd). Repair costs for equipment and replacing supplies is drawn against a previously prepared Navy Comptroller Form 2275, Order for Work and Services, for the estimated cost of supplies and maintenance as designated by BICmd. All equipment is represerved before backload and returned in the same state as it was issued or as directed by the reconstitution LOI. This process involves cleaning, reapplying protective materials and dunnage, and recrating all collateral/ancillary materiel. Equipment is cleaned, taking special care to remove all mud and dirt from engine compartments, undercarriages, and suspension. The PP&P supplies are the responsibility of the exercising unit, which must include personnel experienced in PP&P operations.

## Medical Credentials

Before deployment, the MAGTF surgeon and one other medical officer holding operational medicine privileges perform a credentials review of all medical officers assigned to the MAGTF. This review is conducted in accordance with BUMEDINST [Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Instruction] 6320.66, Credentials Review and Privileging Program.

The JCS provides broad logistic guidance to the Services and unified commands. A designated CCDR coordinates basic logistic functions within an AOR and may establish logistic policies relative to cross-servicing, cross-leveling, and common item support in their OPLANs and CONPLANs. These policies specify the supporting component, type of support, and the expected time the support is to be provided. For example, an Army Service component may provide line haul transportation on C+45, while an Air Force Service component may provide bulk JP-5 on C+60.

 Coordinate with HHQ for the use of externally
controlled logistic assets.

## Responsibilities Of The Commander, Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadron

The COMPSRON plans logistic support for movement of the MPSRON and for support of embarked personnel.

## Responsibilities For Maritime Prepositioning Ship Billeting

Service components provide logistic support to their subordinates. Fleet commanders establish logistic support through TYCOMs, which ensures that forces are trained and equipped to conduct MPF operations and support deploying forces directly or through procedures arranged with home stations. JP 4-0, *Joint Logistics*; JP 4-07, Joint Tactics, Techniques and Procedures for Common-User Logistics During Joint Operations; and JP 4-08, Joint Doctrine for Logistic Support of Multinational Operations, provides additional information.

reduces the MAGTF's local area security requirements. The LCE needs access to a hard surface road network and sufficient flat, firm ground for containers, ammunition, and bulk liquid storage. Each functional area detachment of a MEB-sized LCE requires a total of 1,800 acres/7.3 square kilometers (km2) of overall working space. The space should be allocated as follows:
Each MPS contains tailored organizational-level CSE, PSE, and minimal intermediate-level CSE to support each ACE's pre-assigned mix of T/M/S
aircraft. When deployed, each ACE can provide tactical air support for an MPF MEB. Each MAGTF can independently deploy or, if the situation dictates, join with others to form a larger amphibious force.

The ACE fixed-wing aircraft are flight ferried directly to the theater of operations supported by Marine organic or AMC aerial refueler aircraft. The remainder of the rotary-wing aircraft/FIE are transported into the theater of operations by Marine organic or AMC/CRAF cargo/passenger aircraft and includes the following:

## Aviation Support And Maintenance

 ACE squadron personnel, including maintenance and support crews.

## Prepositioned

 A representative T/M/S FISP contained in
mobile facilities.
 Organizational-level individual material readiness list (IMRL) items, such as noncustodycoded items.
 Minimal
custody-coded,
intermediate-level
IMRL items (AGSE) required for initial aircraft servicing operations, such as tow tractors, MEP carts, or hydraulic servicing carts.

## Upon Arrival And Offload Of Maritime Prepositioning Ships

Each tactical aircraft squadron assigned to the ACE links up with and takes custody of the remainder of the CSE/PSE required to operate and maintain its T/M/S aircraft. Each MPSRON contains a tailored IMRL for each T/M/S aircraft assigned for an MPF MEB ACE, which consists of IMRL custody-coded items P, L, and M. When Aviation support equipment and AGSE prepositioned aboard each MPSRON provide tailored organizational-level common support equipment (CSE) and peculiar support equipment (PSE) for the ACE. The FIE and flight ferry include aviation support and AGSE supplies required for initial aircraft servicing operations, such as debarkation, recovery, staging, reassembly, and servicing required for initial buildup and support. A flight ferry supply support package is provided by the parent Marine aircraft group for the respective type/model/series (T/M/S) aircraft to support deployment and arrival in the AAA. A 30-day FISP of spare and repair parts are deployed by the ACE in the main body to provide support to the organizational maintenance activity from D+1 through D+30. The MALS
deploys by T-AVB or by AMC intertheater airlift to arrive in the AAA on D+30. A daily aviation

## Expeditionary Airfield Equipment

the IMRL loaded aboard MPS links up with the aviation support and AGSE moves into the theater of operations with the FIE, it comprises all CSE/PSE required to operate each T/M/S aircraft during the first 30 days of combat. Thirty percent of this equipment is normally prepositioned due to funding constraints.

## Maintenance Facilities

Each MPSRON also includes minimal fixedwing, tilt-rotor, and rotary-wing mobile maintenance facilities and associated equipment. This facility equipment or intermediate-level CSE supports intermediate-level maintenance functions common to fixed-wing, tilt-rotor, and rotary-wing aircraft, such as tire/wheel build-up, battery maintenance, or cryogenics.

The EAF equipment is included in each MPSRON to support fixed-wing, tilt-rotor, and rotary-wing aircraft. The concept of employment is to load EAF equipment on one of the nonflagships in each MPSRON, giving each MPSRON a core capability of airfield lighting, expeditionary arresting gear, and airfield landing matting. The EAF assets give the ACE commander a 4,000- foot EAF runway, parking for 75 to 105 combat aircraft, airfield lighting, arresting gear, and optical landing systems. The EAF equipment aboard an MPS is installed, operated, and maintained by designated Marine wing support squadron personnel. A Marine wing support squadron is configured to support ACE aircraft until the host MALS arrives. Establishing the host MALS in theater gives the ACE a sustained EAF capability.

## Fully Operational Ready Status

Subsequent to attaining a fully operational ready status, fixed-wing, tilt-rotor, and rotary-wing sortie rates are based on aircraft mission capability in accordance with the weapon system planning document. During the period between aircraft arrival in the AAA and attainment of fully operational ready status, sortie rates should be minimized to conserve FISP assets.

The facility equipment loaded aboard MPS is operated by designated advance party MALS personnel and is designed to support ACE
aircraft until the host MALS arrives by a T-AVB. Each host MALS deploys with a tailored intermediate-level CSE common contingency support package and IMRL custody-coded E PSE items (see table 13-2, on page 13-14, for other custody codes). Both are required by each T/M/S aircraft the MALS supports. After the host MALS is established in theater, each MEB ACE will be capable of sustained combat operations.

## Chapter 14 Automated Information Systems/Automatic Identification Technology Support

The use of AIS with AIT can provide near real time information to users at all levels of the information chain to help determine the identity, location, or condition of MPE/S. These systems are important to solving the challenges of creating an information infrastructure to support key logistic functions inherent in MPF operations, such as supply, maintenance, and transportation. The following considerations should be made when deciding which AIS/AIT to employ in support of MPF operations:
Automated command and control systems are used to exchange information among the Service commanders, headquarters, and Service and functional component commands. The exchange, processing, and analysis of data and information are continuous throughout mission execution; therefore, the systems must be interoperable so that information or data services can be exchanged effectively between user systems and equipment. The objective of AIS support is commonality, compatibility, and standardization of equipment, systems, and procedures. Figure 14-1, on page 14-2, represents the typical AIS relationships.

## Automated Air Load Planning System

 The AIT hardware provides different capabilities, so selecting the right "tool" for the job is important.
 The AIS/AIT implementation should not cause
significant changes to proven MPF planning and execution tactics, techniques, and procedures.
The AALPS is a knowledge-based, intelligent agent-driven system that assists users across the DOD in developing aircraft load plans. The AALPS is used to estimate airlift requirements by specific aircraft type and delivery method and to provide airlift/movement summary data and load reports, ranging from a single airlift support mission to a full-scale deployment of an MPF MEB
FIE. The AALPS provides the information and functionality to receive MDSS II level IV data to develop aircraft load plans, but it does not have an AIT capability.

## Asset Tracking Logistics And Supply System

Since there are numerous variables to consider when employing AIS/AIT during each phase or event associated with a particular MPF operation, there is no single combination established to determine what capability is needed and how it might be employed. As such, this chapter provides an overview of current and planned AIT and AIS capabilities along with notional AIS/AIT process flow diagrams that can be used to support information requirements across the five phases of MPF operations.

## Automated Information Systems Support

The ATLASS is the system units use to account for and order items in nearly all supply classes. It produces transactions that are sent to the supported activities' supply system management unit for order processing and reporting requirements. It shares unit-level data with MDSS II using an import/export process. Like AALPS, it does not have an AIT capability.

The goal of AIS is to provide the commander at all levels with increased situational awareness.

## Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support

The DMLSS AIS was developed and deployed to enhance healthcare delivery in peacetime and to promote wartime readiness and sustainability. The DMLSS automates medical logistic business procedures and delivers a comprehensive range of materiel, equipment, and facilities management information systems capabilities.

## Global Air Transportation Execution System

The Global Air Transportation Execution System (GATES) is the Air Force AMC aerial port operations and management information system designed to provide automated cargo and passenger processing, support ITV in the IGC, and provide billing data to the AMC financial management directorate. It receives advanced movement data from MDSS II and supports barcode and radio frequency AIT scanning capabilities.

## Global Command And Control System

The GCCS is an AIS designed to support situational awareness and deliberate and crisis action planning with an integrated set of analysis tools and data transfer capabilities. Specifically, the GCCS receives unit movement requirements information from the JFRG II system and supports the FDP&E process.

## Integrated Data Environment/Global Transportation Network Convergence

The IGC provides the integrated transportation data and systems necessary to accomplish global transportation planning, command and control, and JTAV across the range of military operations. As the designated DOD ITV system, the IGC provides customers with the ability to track the identity, status, and location of DOD units and nonunit cargo, passengers, patients, forces and military and commercial airlift, sealift, and surface assets from origin to destination. The IGC collects, integrates, and distributes transportation information to CCDRs, Services, and other DOD customers. It provides the information and functionality to receive the identity of nested cargo detail from the MDSS II and wide-area (national) RF-ITV servers and to receive updates from AIT hardware and AIS.

## Integrated Computerized Deployment System

are removed when no longer required. The JOPES receives lift requirements from JFRG II and identifies airlift and sealift requirements to USTRANSCOM.

## Marine Corps Prepositioning Information Center

Used for ship stow and load planning, ICODES is a decision support system that applies the integrated, cooperative, decisionmaking systems framework to the area of ship stow planning. It is designed primarily to satisfy the ship load planning demand of the Army and the Marine Corps. The ICODES uses artificial intelligence principles and techniques to assist embarkation specialists in the rapid development of cargo stow plans. Equipment locations and embarkation team assignments are synchronized between ICODES
load plans and MDSS II through a common data sharing capability. It provides the information and functionality to do the following:

 Provide plans by deckload of where MPE/S are
located on an MPS.
 Update MDSS II and MCPIC with actual
loaded data.
The MCPIC is a Web-based system designed to unite disparate information sources for the prepositioning community, including ship and squadron plans, prepositioning objectives (NAVMCs 2907 and 2926, Norway Air-Landed Marine Expeditionary Brigade [NALMEB]
Prepositioning Objective [PO], information), tables of equipment, and data of equipment and supplies actually loaded on the MPSs. The Prepositioned Equipments and Supplies Viewer, a feature of the MCPIC, allows the user to query actual ships' data through a variety of user friendly methods and links. The MCPIC

 Use AIT scanners to electronically update the
ICODES database of physical locations.
 Maintains current MDSS II and ICODES files
for all MPSs.

## Joint Force Requirements Generator Ii

 Has flexible MPF report generation capability.  Does not provide ITV.

## Marine Air-Ground Task Force Data Library

The JFRG II is a software application designed to provide the joint Services with a state-of-the-art, integrated, and deployable AIS that supports strategic force movements within the mandated 72-hour timeframe. The JFRG II provides rapid force list creation and interfaces with JOPES, the Transportation Coordinator's Automated Information for Movement System II, MDSS II, and the WRS. The JFRG II receives level IV cargo detail from MDSS II and updates JOPES with movement requirements.

The MDL serves data distribution and data quality control functions. Its data set updates the permanent technical data files within MDSS II and ATLASS. Users can submit requests to change or correct this data through a data trouble report that is passed through the logistic chain to the contractor tasked with maintaining the MDL. The MDL is updated regularly to feed equipment and supply reference data updates to MDSS II and ATLASS.

## Joint Operations Planning And Execution System Radio FrequencyIn-Transit Visibility

The RF-ITV is a Web-based system that uses radio frequency technology to track materiel that is in transit. By placing a radio frequency tag on a container, materiel can be located when it passes through a checkpoint. This system was designed to provide JTAV by tracking logistic materiel and The DOD uses JOPES to translate national security policy decisions into military plans and operations. The system's functional managers grant permissions, restrict access to OPLANs on the database, and perform periodic reviews of user identifications and the content of the JOPES database to ensure outdated plans and accounts ensuring that it arrives at the correct destination. The RF-ITV system receives initial nested cargo data from MDSS II, updates the IGC, and maintains the last known location of equipment based on the interrogator reading of RFID tags.

## Ordnance Information System-Marine Corps

The OIS-MC is an integrated naval system designed to manage nonnuclear expendable ordnance. It provides for the automation of the receipt, issue, inventory recordkeeping, and reporting of both ground and aviation ammunition assets and movements. Its ultimate objective is the enhancement of fleet/MARFOR readiness and stock point ordnance management.

## Worldwide Port System

The WPS is an AIS designed to provide cargo management and accountability to water port and regional commanders while providing ITV to the IGC. The WPS receives advance movement data from MDSS II, is barcode- and RFID AIT-capable, and updates the IGC.

## Automated Identification Technology

Used to facilitate JTAV source data capture and transfer, AIT is a suite of tools that includes a variety of devices, such as barcodes, magnetic strips, optical memory cards, and RFID tags. The tags are used to mark individual items, multipacks, equipment, air pallets, or containers, along with the hardware and software required to program the devices, read the information on them, and share that information and data with other logistic information customers and AIS. The AIT is the basis of DOD efforts to provide timely, logistical JTAV by using identity, condition and location, and status data (such as whether the item is in some type of process, in storage, or in transit). The AIT suite of tools can be distinguished by categoriesAIT media, AIT hardware, and AIT supporting software.

Understanding the different capabilities each provides is crucial when designing an employment concept that supports the functions of logistics
supply, maintenance, and transportation. The following information describes the capabilities available within the categories so the right tool can be chosen for the desired function.

## Automated Identification Technology Media

The AIT media includes barcodes, RFID, satellite tracking systems, smart cards/common access cards, optical memory cards, and contact memory buttons. By enabling data collection and transmission to AIS, AIT provides the warfighter with the capability to track, document, and control the deployment of personnel and materiel. Figure 14-2 shows how the different types of media support the functions of logistics in an MPF arrival and assembly operation, followed by a brief overview of the different types of media supported by the AIS.

## Barcodes

A barcode is an optical, machine-readable representation of data. Barcode markings are arrays of rectangular bars and spaces displayed in a predetermined pattern to represent coded elements of data that can be automatically read and interpreted by automatic barcode-reading devices. There are two main types of barcodeslinear and two-dimensional. Barcodes are used to automate the data transfer between systems and identify items. They must be used in the MSL, the LOGMARS label, and several other DOD labels. Linear barcodes are the original codes that represent data in the width and spacing of parallel lines. They can be referred to as linear or onedimensional barcodes. Linear barcodes are used to represent a single data element, such as a TCN, and are incorporated into most DOD label formats. Figure 14-3 depicts a linear barcode. Barcodes are supported by AIT hardware; are compatible with MDSS II, GATES, WPS, and other AIT-capable AIS; and are used in military shipping and LOGMARS labels to represent single data elements.

Two-dimensional barcodes, also called matrix codes or symbology, are displayed as patterns of squares, dots, hexagons, and other geometric shapes within images. Though they have no bars, two-dimensional systems are generally referred to as barcodes as well. The advantage of twodimensional barcodes is they can represent numerous data elements, such as a TAMCN, description, or National Stock Number, in a single pattern, which can all be read with one scan. The DOD requires two-dimensional barcodes to conform to PDF 417 format. These codes are incorporated into most DOD label formats. Figure 14-4 depicts a two-dimensional barcode. Twodimensional barcodes are supported by AIT hardware and are compatible with MDSS II, GATES, WPS, and other AIT-capable AIS. They are used in military shipping and LOGMARS labels to represent multiple data elements.

## Item Unique Identification

Item unique identification (IUID) is not considered a barcode label, but it uses a two-dimensional barcode type of configuration so it falls into this category. The IUID system establishes unique item identifiers within DOD by assigning a machine-readable character string or number to a discrete item, which serves to distinguish it from other like and unlike items. Its marks contain a unique item identifier (UII), which is a set of data elements marked on items that is globally unique and unambiguous. The UII is a unique serial number that is never repeated and is currently being established in the two-dimensional type barcode media to serve as the "key" identifier for all serialized equipment and equipment worth more than $5,000. Figure 14-5 depicts an IUID mark. The UII is required to be embedded in all two-dimensional barcodes once assigned. This includes the MSL. The IUID marks containing the UII can be read by handheld scanners.

## Logistics Applications Of Automated Marking And Reading Symbols Labels

The LOGMARS labels are used by BICmd to provide ITV as the MPE/S flow through the MMC process. Figure 14-6 depicts a LOGMARS label, containing both linear and two-dimensional barcodes. Although not required by the Defense Transportation System (DTS), LOGMARS labels enhance MPS/E JTAV because they

 Are produced and read by MDSS II.  Support parent/child (nested cargo) associations.
 Support throughput and tracking by scanning.

## Military Shipping Labels

All MSLs are required by the DTS and are designed to show the actual movement data, such as TCN or loaded dimensions. Figure 14-7 depicts an MSL, containing both linear and twodimensional barcodes. The MSL enhances MPS/E JTAV because it

 Is produced by MDSS II and read by multiple
systems.
 Shows parent/child (nested cargo) detail along
with movement detail.
 Supports throughput and tracking by scanning.

## Radio Frequency Identification Systems

The RFID systems store data in transponders generally known as RFID tags and retrieve data by machine-readable means at a suitable time and place to satisfy a particular AIS need. Tags have a discrete memory capacity that varies from the capacity of the data on a small license plate to thousands of records. Data within a tag may provide any level of identification for an item during manufacture or when in transit, in storage, or in useliterally from "factory to foxhole." With additional data, the tag may support AIS applications that need item-specific information. For example, shipment consignee or destination ports data can be readily accessed from the tag. An RFID system is the essential means to read or interrogate the tags to obtain the stored data; it is the way in which data is communicated to a DOD logistic AIS. The MPF supply chain uses RFID for inventory management, JTAV, and interoperability in the end-to-end distribution channel. The system provides data accuracy and uses nonline-of-sight technology and read and write options inherent in the equipment. It addresses the lack of JTAV of item data, a key challenge that has been noted at every node within the DOD supply chain. The RFID is becoming an important technology enabler for the DOD logistic business transformation and will support long-term integration of the unique identification into the DOD end-to-end supply chain. Both active and passive, RFID is required by DOD to

 Provide near real time JTAV for all classes of
supplies and materiel.
 Provide content-level detail for all classes of
supplies and materiel.
 Provide quality, nonintrusive identification and
data collection that enables enhanced inventory management.
 Provide enhanced item-level visibility.
Active radio frequency identification (aRFID)
allows the tag, powered by its internal source, to receive extremely low-level radio frequency signals and generate high-level signals back to the reader/interrogator. The aRFID tags are continuously powered, whether or not in the reader/interrogator field, and are normally used when a longer tag read distance is desired. Figure 14-8
represents the current aRFID tag used in MPF operations, which provides the following advantages and limitations:

 Required by DOD on all PEI shipments in the
DTS.
 Nested cargo detail is provided by an MDSS II
export file to IGC.
 MDSS II AIT location can be updated with the
use of Savi Site Manager Software and interrogators.
 Requires internet connection and communications infrastructure considerations for efficient employment.
 Fixed interrogators update only the RF-ITV
server and not MDSS II.
 Can be read up to 300 ft away by an interrogator.
 Requires batteries to operate.  Location is based on the last read of the interrogator.

## Automated Identification Technology Hardware

The AIT hardware is the device used to read the AIT media. It can be a handheld scanner used to read barcode-type media or interrogators used to read RFID tags. There are some devices that can accomplish both barcode scanning and RFID interrogation. The following paragraphs provide an overview of scanners, AIT media, and the supported AIS.

## Pdt 8146 Scanner

The PDT 8146 scanner allows the user to scan a two-dimensional or linear barcode label (MSL or LOGMARS) to identify an item and provide its current location. It is loaded with MDSS II-compatible software called LOGAIT that updates MDSS II, either by a download cable (docking station) or a wireless interface. A Savi Mobile

## Savi Portable Deployment Kit

Reader (SMR) also attaches to the scanner to provide the aRFID reading capability.

## Savi 650 Interrogator

The Savi Fixed Reader (SFR) or Savi 650 Interrogator is the aRFID interrogator being used by DOD and Marine Corps *fixed* interrogation sites. A fixed interrogation site resides at designated gates on base/stations, APOE, and SPOE and is permanently installed to allow automatic reads of aRFID tags and updates to IGC.

The SFR has been fielded to each unit that uses MDSS II to allow them to write aRFID tags. Using MDSS II, the 650 interrogator allows the end user to write all content-level detail to aRFID tags, update IGC with tag and nested cargo information, and allow local MDSS II updates.

The Savi PDK is a portable RFID system that allows users to quickly set up a mobile checkpoint using the SMR or a fixed checkpoint with Savi's SmartChain Site Manager. The Savi PDK is self-contained and includes the laptop, modems, antennae, printer, and software needed for remote communication. The system is fully configurable, operational, and requires no additional software. Data is collected and communicated to the Savi SmartChain Site Manager, then forwarded to the JTAV server by an Iridium modem with GPS to provide latitude and longitude data. The PDK can operate unmanned for remote operations. Tags can be scanned onsite with the Savi mobile 751G/A SMR-650 handheld reader. The Savi PDK also includes a printer for MLSs to support unit move changes.

## Savi Mobile Reader Savi Sp-65X-211 Signpost

The SMR performs functions similar to the SFR, except that the SMR is designed to connect directly with mobile devices, such as PDT 8146.

## Savi Early Entry Deployment Support Kit

The Savi Early Entry Deployment Support Kit (EEDSK) provides the RFID infrastructure necessary to track materiel at remote sites for forward-deploying military units. The unit acts as a standalone temporary chokepoint for writing to and reading transponders, transmitting data to the RF-ITV network, and printing MSLs. By using the EEDSK, commanders can achieve 100 percent ITV of cargo, equipment, and personnel anywhere in the world.

Designed for dock doors, vehicle gates, and other portals, the SP-65X-211 Signpost has an adjustable, well-defined range of up to 3.7 meters (12 ft), enabling coverage of dock doors and other large portals without unintentional cross-reads. Built on Savi's EchoPoint technology, Savi signposts work with Savi tags to provide data collection. Signposts activate only those tags within their vicinity, enabling precise identification of tagged items at specific locations within the business operation. Signposts can also transmit commands and configuration information to tags, enabling data read/write ability, and adjustment of tag communication rate and tag frequency. In addition, signposts can activate and deactivate tags, a feature especially important for air cargo and other items that must adhere to strict Federal Aviation Administration regulations.

## Software Supporting Automated Identification Technology

Savi site manager software is designed as a bridge between Savi signposts and MDSS II. The software collects readings of aRFID tags from the The EEDSK includes two Savi radio frequency relays, one Savi fixed interrogator, temporary mounting structures, tools, and other accessories.

The EEDSK also includes a Savi Portable Deployment Kit (PDK), which contains an Itronix laptop, Iridium modem with GPS and antennae, Intermec handheld interrogator, Savi mobile interrogator, Zebra label printer, software, and communications equipment.

Savi signpost and uses those files to update both the national RF-ITV server and MDSS II. Through the use of Internet Protocol addresses and exchange folders, the software manages all RFID readings from the signposts and determines what software and machine needs to be updated. In addition, it is the main software used to configure the signpost and Mobile Wireless Embarkation Network/Air Fortress Internet Protocol addresses. It provides a visual status of the connectivity and operability of all devices.

## Planning

The effective use of AIS/AIT requires internet network capabilities. It is critical to coordinate AIS/AIT wired and wireless requirements with the G-6 for both garrison and tactical communications requirements. Specifics relevant to MPF events and phases as outlined in the following paragraphs are important considerations for the effective use of AIS and AIT.

## Maintenance Cycle

Once the tailoring effort is complete, BICmd is directly responsible for capturing and accounting for all items being loaded on each ship. Using MDSS II, ICODES, RFID, and two-dimensional barcodes, BICmd can effectively show contentlevel detail of all items loaded and where they are on the ship. The command is also responsible to report what is loaded on each ship to a variety of Marine Corps logistic and AIT support systems, such as the MIMMS [Marine Integrated Maintenance Management System], IGC, and RF-ITV servers. The BICmd's Web-based MCPIC consolidates data in a collaborative environment, allowing planners to obtain data for the prepositioning programs. Figure 14-9, on page 14-12, provides an overview of this process.

## Force Deployment, Planning, And Execution

Although the FDP&E process is not required to load the MPS, it is critically linked to the unit move requirements for execution. To properly plan an MPF operation, the movement of the FIE (including flight ferry) must be synchronized with the offload of MPF. The movement of the FIE is a unit move function and the AIS/AIT used to support this movement should complement the MPF arrival and assembly operations process.

## Arrival And Assembly Operations

Planning for arrival and assembly operations is an enormous task that provides unique challenges. Each tool described in the previous paragraphs provides unique capabilities and there is not one single tool that provides the best method of tracking an MPF offload. Users' understanding of the limitations and capabilities helps them to select the right AIT hardware, AIS, and media required to track items as they move from the ship, through the AAOG, to the AAOE, and, eventually, to the using unit at the ERP.

## Regeneration, Reconstitution, And Redeployment

Planning for regeneration, reconstitution, and redeployment requires considerably more effort than for an arrival and assembly operation. There are more scan/read points required to track incoming vehicles, equipment, supply items, required maintenance, and washdown actions across an increased number of AIT location points.

## Implementation Of Passive Radio Frequency Identification

Passive radio frequency identification (pRFID) tags reflect energy from the reader/interrogator or receive and temporarily store a small amount of energy from the reader/interrogator signal in order to generate the tag response. Passive RFID requires strong radio frequency signals from the reader/interrogator and the radio frequency signal strength returned from the tag is constrained to very low levels by the limited energy. The office of the SecDef has mandated that the Services phase in the use of pRFID, exception for use with explosives. Passive RFID tags are best used when the tag and interrogator are close to one another.

The technology is currently being incorporated into MPF business processes. When full operational capability is achieved, pRFID will greatly enhance data accuracy and content-level detail inventory management.

## Appendix I Offload Preparation Party Checklist

This appendix provides MPF operators and planners with information on OPP
requirements. It addresses OPP tasks in an ideal scenario where the OPP deploys to meet MPSs before they arrive in the AAA. The sequence of events may vary based on the real world situation; however, most OPP tasks remain the same.

## Critical Factors Affecting Time To Offload Ships

 When the OPP deploys to meet MPSs.  OPP size.  Tools, supplies, and test equipment available to OPP.  Training and experience of OPP personnel.  Safety considerations.

## Sequence Of Events

 The OPP OIC is designated by the CNSE.  Offload priorities are established by the MAGTF commander and coordinated with the CMPF.
 The OPP OIC receives offload priorities from the MAGTF commander
through the AAOG.
 The OPP headquarters is collocated with COMPSRON and individual MPS
detachments. Each detachment consists of Navy and MAGTF personnel,
each with specific responsibilities.
 The OPP OIC and MPSRON personnel determine the maximum number of
personnel that can embark in accordance with each ship's Coast Guard certificate of inspection.
 The OPP receives equipment operators from all MAGTF elements and the
NSE.
 OPP ADPE, technical publications, test equipment, and required reports are
collected, inspected, and prepared for embarkation.
 OPP equipment and materials prepared for embarkation are moved to the
MPS. The OPP OIC coordinates with COMPSRON and the ship's master regarding OPP arrival.
 The OPP undergoes pre-embarkation and safety training, conducts initial
briefs for subordinates, and develops a plan to accomplish work while embarked.
 The OPP OIC initiates the OPP's security requirements.  The OPP is transported to the MPSRON.  An OPP representative with the ship's first mate inspects and accepts berthing areas for OPP personnel.
 The OPP OIC receives direction on shipboard activities from COMPSRON
and the ship's master.
 An OPP representative validates the ship's load plan and conducts an inventory of the major MPE/S and NSE equipment. Special attention is given to
identify any changes in the ship's load plan that may affect the planned
sequence of offload.
 The OPP starts work and checks ships' readiness. Standard work priority for
an in-stream offload, barring different direction from the MAGTF commander, is
 Ship cargo handling systems, such as cranes or winches.  Lighterage.  NSE communication equipment.
 NSE equipment for in-stream and beach offload.
 MHE to support the offload.  Depreservation and preparation of MAGTF equipment.  Fuel/water discharge systems.
 OPP members who remain on board to continue work form the nucleus of
the debarkation teams; problems that may affect the offload are corrected.
 The STS system is activated.  Final visual inspection of vehicles, equipment, and cargo is conducted.
Equipment that must operate during the offload requires a preoperation check and service inspection. Cargo and mobile loads are inspected to ensure
that no unsafe situations or damage occur.
 OPP supervisors (chief petty officer [CPO]/SNCO) of troops ensure that
preparations for space turnover (cleaning of berthing spaces) are completed.
 The OPP establishes communications with the SLRP to identify and recommend corrective action for any problems that may affect the offload.
 The OPP is disestablished after arriving in the AAA. Personnel to be transferred from the OPP to other task organizations in the offload are identified and assigned as early as possible to ensure a smooth, safe, and orderly transfer.

## Tasks

 Locate MAGTF equipment to match and validate the ship's load plan.  Identify MPE/S according to guidance established by the MAGTF commander and identify the equipment assignment. To speed the identification, assignment, and distribution process for equipment, the MEF responsible for
a particular MPSRON will use a tag or marking system to identify MPE/S
assigned to the MAGTF MSEs. Ensure permanent damage does not occur
when the equipment is tagged or marked. The MEF's major subordinate
commands will further document the distribution of  equipment down to battalion and squadron levels in MDSS II.
 Conduct preoperations checks and make adjustments
 Visually inspect tires for proper inflation.  Check for visible oil and brake fluid leaks.  Visually inspect tracks for excessive cracks.
 Check cooling systems for evidence of leaks.  Check belt tension.  Remove sealing material from intake and exhaust openings and remove
other protective covers.
 Check fluid levels for engine, transmission, transfers, and differentials.  Ensure that fuel filters are installed and serviceable.  Inspect lube points on all undercarriages.  Check and install battery connections if equipment will be issued.  Obtain approval of the ship's master to connect batteries.  If equipment is being offloaded for modification or maintenance, use the
ship's direct current or portable start carts and cables to start engines.
 If vehicles are stowed without batteries, activate the batteries with electrolyte before installation.
Note: If the vehicle is stored with dry charged batteries installed, use extreme caution when activating batteries. Electrolyte can cause injury if spilled or splashed on skin or in eyes. Flush overfills or spilled acid from vehicle surfaces. These instructions also apply to batteries supplying power to auxiliary equipment mounted on vehicles. Before connecting battery terminals, ensure all electrical switches and auxiliary power switches are in the off position.

 Add fuel additive to fuel tanks, as required. If gasohol is available, use it in
vehicles or other equipment with gasoline engines; if not, service with gasoline. Preserved gasoline engines are much easier to start and require fewer
adjustments when energized with gasohol.
 Remove barrier tape from battery terminals and clamps.  Connect battery cables to batteries for proper connection.
Note: Extreme caution must be exercised to properly connect batteries to avoid damage to the vehicle electrical system.

 Start equipment when authorized by the ship's first mate. After warming up,
accelerate to approximately one-half power. Observe engine noise or vibration response. If satisfactory, the vehicle or equipment is ready for offload.
 Tag equipment as determined by the MAGTF commander; indicate maintenance performed. Attach all tags to the left front near the headlight. An
example of a tag system to identify maintenance status is
 Green TagRFI.  Yellow TagMinor repairs/adjustments required. Equipment is considered
safe to operate. Repairs/adjustments required will be annotated on the tag.
 Red TagMajor repairs required. Operation of equipment will seriously
damage equipment or cause harm to operator or crew. Major repairs required will be annotated on the tag.
 Install associated weapon systems and SL-3 components as required.  Unlash equipment when directed by the ship's master, when near the AAA,
and when weather permits.
 Secure publication binders in their bins.
 Refuel equipment when approved by the ship's master. If auxiliary containers are used, ensure they are clearly marked to identify the type of fuel they
contain. There are refueling points on the RO/RO decks to provide fuel to
vehicles before debarkation.
 Identify MPE/S to be towed off the lighterage
 Trailers, gasoline-powered vehicles, and towed artillery pieces will be
towed from the ship to the staging/maintenance area.
 Self-propelled assets will be driven off unless precluded by local conditions or special instructions concerning the equipment. If equipment is being offloaded for maintenance or modification, use portable battery packs.
 Clean billeting spaces and conduct turnover inspection.

## Appendix J Debarkation Team Offload Checklist

Debarkation teams are MAGTF and Navy personnel provided to the OCU for each ship of the MPSRON. Responsibilities include equipment offload preparation and equipment operation.

## Sequence Of Events

 The OIC coordinates with the SLRP and OPP to assign personnel for the offload.
 Assigned personnel are organized into teams to execute the offload.  The OIC meets with NCHB representatives, the ship's master, and the
MCMC to discuss the offload.
 Training is provided to team personnel.  Special equipment, such as radios, provided by the MCMC for use during the
offload, is temporarily loaned.
 Communications nets and data links with offload control organizations are
established.
 Offload is conducted.  Workspaces and holds are prepared for turnover inspection.  A debarkation team assists in securing MPSs to get underway or backload.

## Tasks

 Start appropriate vehicles' engines.  Move equipment to the hatch square or main deck for crane lift off.  Move trailers, powered motor vehicles that do not run, and hold-stowed artillery pieces to the hatch square lift-off point.
 Move skid-mounted equipment, tools, communications and electronic equipment, and other packaged items to the hatch square lift-off point.
 Assist NCHB personnel with the hookup for slings and spreader bars.  Drive equipment down the stern ramp to lighterage or pier.  Position equipment on lighterage when using an RRDF.  Inspect the ship's holds and berthing spaces. Packing materials and components disassembled and removed during preservation must be collected and safeguarded to be reused for the backload.
 Attend all offload safety training/briefs.  Identify problems associated with MPE/S or ships to the appropriate person
or organization.

## Appendix K Airfield Coordination Officer Arrival And Assembly Airfield Site Survey Checklist

## Appendix L Beach And Port Operations Requirements

This appendix is for SLRP NSE, BOG, and POG members when evaluating beaches and ports. The OCU will also use the information in this appendix to determine requirements and configurations for lighterage and other types of craft that may be used during the offload.

## Beach Operations Preliminary Data Required In The Planning Phase

 Prevailing winds.  Refraction diagram.  Prevailing sea and swell.  Beach slope.  Beach irregularities.  Prevailing surf.  Currents.  Tides.  Beach composition.  Ability to use the following equipment:
 TWPS.  ABLTS.  Amphibious assault bulk water system.
 Trafficability of beach.  Grid coordinates of left and right limits of the beach.  Offshore obstructions.  Littoral drift.  Datum points.  Sounding interval.  Sounding lines.  Underwater obstacles.

## Data Required To Begin In-Stream Offload

Surf swell conditions include significant breaker height, depth, angle of breakers to the beach, wave length directly outside the breaker line, and period of breakers. Other conditions include tides, currents (longshore), depth of water and beach gradient, beach features (width of the surf zone), and sea state.

Note: Aerial reconnaissance of projected offload sites should be conducted as soon as possible after sites are established. Reconnaissance results will allow for adjusting and correcting the original forecast.

## Surf Observation Reports

Depending on the specific operation, surf conditions are reported by various organizations, such as SEALs, beachmasters, or force reconnaissance. These surf observation (SUROB) reports are essential to assist decisionmaking regarding the timing of an instream offload and are passed to the CMPF, OCU, and OCO for action. To complete a SUROB report, observers watch 100 breakers, then report findings for a given date and local time. Report elements are shown in table L-1. Information includes the following

 Initial report, which establishes a starting point for beach operations.  Periodic reports, which are submitted twice daily when conditions change
after the offload starts. Additional SUROB reports are prepared as needed to maintain a safe offload.

The SUROB report information is processed accordingly by the PCO using modification tables. The final product is an abstract number called the modified surf index (MSI). The MSI is a single number that provides a relative measure of the conditions likely to be encountered in the surf zone. For reported or forecasted conditions, the MSI is a guide to judge the feasibility of landing operations for each type of lighterage and amphibious vehicle.

## Modified Surf Index Calculation

When applied to a known or forecasted surf condition, the MSI calculation provides the commander with an objective method of arriving at a safe and reasonable decision with respect to committing to lighterage and amphibious vehicle operations. The modified surf limit is the maximum surf that should be attempted for routine operations. If the MSI exceeds the modified surf limit for the craft or vehicle, then the in-stream offload is not feasible without increasing the risk of casualties. If the MSI is less than the modified surf limit of the craft, the landing is feasible. Modification tables to complete calculations are in Commander, Naval Surface Force, Pacific/Commander, Naval Surface Force, Atlantic Instruction 3840.1, COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST
Joint Surf Manual.

## Tasks

 Plan for wave, beach, and surf conditions.  Select beaches and touchdown points for craft and lighterage.
 Plan initial layout of the AAA, including MPE/S flow and staging areas.
 Provide intermediate decisions on selecting craft, lighterage, and vehicles for
in-stream offloads.
 Ensure beach task organizations become operational.  Provide initial briefing of key personnel.  Conduct initial and final operations and safety briefings for personnel controlling the offload.
 Participate in planning the layout of the AAA.  Conduct final in-stream offload briefing to all personnel.

## Port Operations

Port operations involve the loading/unloading of ships; the reception, processing, and staging of personnel; and the receipt, storage, marshalling (for onward movement) of cargo. To conduct port operations, the POG should be organized as follows:

 Port operations/command center.  Reports processing section.  MHE/CHE section.  Maintenance contact teams.  Communications support section.  NSE.  Emergency medical support center.
The following tasks expand upon those identified in app. F, particularly the port survey guide:

 Prepare port facilities chart. Include the following locations:
 Anchorages.  Piers and berths.  Class V, container, and HAZMAT storage areas.  Portable heads and trash disposal containers.

## Appendix M Counterintelligence Survey And Security Checklist

Survey teams are organized and included in the SLRP to determine the anticipated security requirements of the MPF operation. Teams typically include the following:

 Counterintelligence officers/specialists.  Physical security specialists from the PMO.
 Communications specialists.
 ADPE security specialists.
This checklist is not all-encompassing, rather it is a guide to initiate a survey that provides a format for organizing results. A survey should be completed for each arrival airfield; port/beach; and any major marshalling, storage, and assembly areas to be used:

 Itemize and record information on all requirements as listed on the checklist.  Keep subdivisions of the checklist separated/ordered.  Maintain checklist items on separate pages, within the parent subdivisions.
Make detailed notes about each item as it is completed. After completing notes for each item, compile in order and complete the report.
 Record the name, location, and type of installation/area.

## Functions And Activities In The Arrival And Assembly Area

Counterintelligence survey teams should answer the following questions:

 In addition to the MPF, what military personnel, units, and headquarters
organizations are operating in or control the AAA?
 What military activities (conventional, unconventional, or special) are being
conducted?
 What military material is produced, processed, tested, or stored in the AAA?  What is the military significance of the MPF operations occurring in the
AAA?
 How important to national security are the activities that take place in the
AAA?
 What activities in the AAA should be secret? Why?  What information about the AAA would be of interest to hostile forces?

Tables N-4, N-5, N-6, and N-7 (on pages N-4 and N-5) identify communications equipment and systems capabilities in MPSRONs. Capabilities are subject to change due to MPSRON reorganization and advancements in technology.

Each MPSRON has an alternate flagship that is equipped with the same communication suite as the primary flagship, except for cryptography, which is transferred when the COMPSRON and staff shift ships. Each ship has the capability to operate Navy secure voice. Cryptography is transferred as directed by COMPSRON.

## Maritime Prepositioning Ship Charters

Each MPS has its own separate time charter. These charters are all very similar in the terms and conditions, such as contract speed, fuel consumption, or deadweight carrying capacity, with the exception of the MPS ship classes. The two MPS operating companies are Waterman Steamship Corporation (Waterman)
and AMSEA. These companies operate their respective class of MPS for MSC.

## Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadron Ship Mix

The 16 MPSs are divided into three MPSRONs that report to their respective COMPSRONs. Beginning with post Operation Iraqi Freedom and MMC-8, the MPSRONs will be reorganized with the following ships ("*" denotes flagship/ alternate flagship with COMPSRON staff embarked and secure communication capabilities):

 MPS-1/MPSRON 1
 AMSEA: United States Naval Ship (USNS) *2ndLt John P. Bobo** (T-AK
[container and RO/RO ship] 3008);

## Maritime Prepositioning Ship Maintenance

The MPS operating companies maintain the ships' systems, cargo, hull, propulsion, and navigation to Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping standards. Monitored by the COMPSRON staff, each operating company follows a preventive maintenance program of its own design, periodically testing cranes, ramps, hatches, or elevators, to ensure operability.

## United States Government Access

At the USG's disposal are the ships' holds, decks, and usual loading places, but not the entire ship. The USG may request the ships' crews, to the extent permitted by their other duties and safety of each ship, to operate each ship's equipment in loading or discharging operations. These requests require pre-approval of the squadron commander as MSC's on-scene COR.

## Cargo Stowage

The USG has the right to use the ship's winches and other appropriate loading and discharging gear. Cargo is loaded, stowed, secured, and discharged by USG personnel under the master's supervision. The amount of cargo approved for loading is at the discretion of the master with the ship's stability, draft, and hull stress being prime considerations.

## United States Code, Titles 10, 33, 46, And 49

The MPS operating companies operate the ships as directed by the USG and reflect such in a written or DMS order, including all voyage and cargo matters.

Neither the USG nor an operating company may operate a ship in violation of any US law. As commercial ships, MPSs are built and operated under United States Code, Titles 10, 33, 46, and 49. The Coast Guard implements provisions of the law under those titles.

## Naval Embarked Advisory Team Capabilities

The NEATs serve aboard civilian-staffed ships. Using their portable equipment, they will provide tactical, maneuvering, amphibious, and other naval advice to ships' masters to permit proper communication between merchant ships and the naval ships with which they may serve. The NEAT is envisioned to transit from CONUS or other locations with naval escort ships. In essence, they serve as the operations department aboard a merchant ship, but with no command or control authority, and as advisors and facilitators for the ship's master. These teams were formed for three reasons:

 Merchant ships would be essential to meet sealift capacity objectives because
of the lack of active force strategic lift assets.
 Merchant ships (for the most part) had little or no familiarity with Navy tactics, doctrine, or plans.
 Merchant ships were rarely able to communicate satisfactorily, either electronically or visually, with Navy ships.
Tables N-12 through N-14 provide a notional organization and detachment of communications equipment.

## Embarkation Considerations

Personnel normally embarked on MPSs consist of a ship's company, squadron staff, MCMC personnel, and the Marine Corps COR. Personnel embarked on occasion include a Marine Corps/Navy surge team and OPP for exercises,

contingency support, and/or training. These organizations must work and coordinate closely to ensure that the highest level of ship and MPE/S readiness is maintained and their status is accurately reported to the appropriate CCDR.

## Ship Master's Authority

All USG personnel onboard are subject to the authority of the ship's master and officers.

## Surge Team Accommodation

The USG has the right to assign a surge team of personnel to discharge cargo.

This team is in addition to the permanent military personnel assigned (squadron staff and MCMC personnel). To the extent that accommodations (berths) and lifesaving equipment aboard ship permit, the USG has the right to assign additional personnel for training, observing operations, security, or other functions related to the performance of the charter/mission (see tables N-8, N-9, N-10, and N-11 for specific berthing numbers).

## Additional Steward Support

The USG assumes the responsibility for additional steward department services to support the surge team. The MPS operating companies assist by making kitchen, ship's steward's department services, and other facilities available at mutually convenient times. The OPP and debarkation team provide personnel augmentation, such as cooks or messmen, to the steward department.

## Lifesaving Gear

The operating company is responsible for supplying sufficient lifesaving gear for the surge team according to Coast Guard regulations. The USG must ensure that the number of personnel permanently embarked does not exceed the amount of lifesaving equipment.

## Request For Embarkation

For a COMPSRON and his respective ship to fully support the embarked activity/command, advance notification of the desired dates and nature of the visit is required. All activities desiring to embark personnel on a squadron ship request permission from the cognizant COMPSRON by message at least five working days in advance of the requested embarkation date. Advanced notification will allow ship and COMPSRON staff sufficient time to plan and prepare for the visit. The embarkation message request must contain the following information:

 Embarking activity/command.  Requested ships.  Embarkation date.  Debarkation date.  Purpose/nature of visit.  Number of male and female officers/enlisted.  Name of OIC/senior member.  Meal requirement in excess of normal provisions, such as box lunches or
midrats [midnight rations].
 Security clearance data.  Quantity and type of lighterage to be splashed.  Miscellaneous/amplifying information, including crew involvement, gear to
be unloaded, or alternate dates.

## Commander, Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadron Response

The COMPSRON replies to an embarkation message and either grants or denies the request. If the requested dates cannot be supported, alternate dates will be provided. If embarkation is ordered by higher authority or emergent operational commitments preclude advance notification, the embarking activity or command will provide the information requested by any means and as soon as possible.

## Aviation Logistics Support Ship

The T-AVB is part of the Ready Reserve Force that is dedicated to provide sealift for movement of a MALS to support the rapid deployment of fixedwing and rotary-wing aircraft units. Both T-AVBs (SS *Curtiss* T-AVB 4 and SS *Wright* T-AVB 3) are in ROS-5 in CONUS layberths (*Wright*/Baltimore, MD, and *Curtiss*/Port Hueneme, CA). When T-AVBs activate, they are under the OPCON of MSC. The T-AVBs are crewed under an operating contract by the Maritime Administration and are activated to participate in annual exercises and deployments as required; however, MPS or MPSRON employment does not necessarily mean T-AVBs will be employed (see table N-15 on page N-14).

The MALS supports a designated mix of aircraft included in a specific MAGTF
ACE. Most facilities used by the MALS when ashore are packaged in 8-ft by 8-ft by 20-ft containers designated as mobile maintenance facilities (MMFs) that are placed aboard the T-AVB. The MMFs containing operational work centers and ready access supply stores are installed on the main and second decks in tiers of one or two. Access ladders and scaffolding provide routine access to the MMFs by MALS personnel. Other MMFs containing spare parts are stowed below the second deck. The T-AVB administrative loadout is approximately 680 MMFs, while the working loadout is approximately 350 MMFs.

During transit to the objective area and until moved ashore, MALS personnel operate in the MMFs. An example of a MALS function is the repair of weapon assemblies that are received on board, repaired, and returned while the T-AVB
is within helicopter operating range. The secondary T-AVB mission is to provide for resupply in a conventional container or RO/RO configuration. The T-AVB modifications have been designed to retain maximum cargo capacity in the resupply configuration. For further details regarding T-AVB operations and load planning, see the Aviation Logistics Support Ship (T-AVB) Logistics Planning Manual.

## Hospital Ships

The T-AHs are *maintained* by a crew of 13 MSC mariners and 40 military personnel. The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery controls HSS staffing. The T-AHs are *operated* by 68 Civil Service mariners, 820 Active Component and Reserve Component HSS personnel, 372 naval support personnel, and 15 military communicators. The MSC operates two Mercy class T-AHs that are designed to provide emergency on-site care for US forces and that can support an MPF operation. Each of these sea-based military treatment facilities are equipped with a helicopter deck that can land large military helicopters and has side ports to take on patients at sea. Table N-16, on page N-15, summarizes the Mercy class ships' capabilities. The USNS *Mercy* (T-AH 19) and USNS *Comfort* (T- AH 20) are maintained in ROS-5 in CONUS layberths (Mercy/San Diego, CA, and *Comfort*/Baltimore, MD).

## Appendix O Notional Tables Of Organization For Maritime Prepositioning Force Elements

The legend for all tables in this appendix is located at the end of this appendix.

The debarkation team consists of a headquarters formed from the OCU augmented by the MOLT, a Navy embarkation team, and a Marine Corps debarkation team. Sizing of the Marine Corps team is driven by the class of the ship and means of offload. A normal cargo handling force requires six, 9-man hatch teams for 24-hour operations. A hatch team consists of a hatch captain, hold boss, crane operator, and six stevedores. They must be billeted on the ship they are assigned to offload. If the scope of the exercise or operation is reduced, fewer hatch teams may be required. Additional Marine Corps debarkation personnel can be billeted on the ship if hatch team requirements are reduced. The EMF and NMCB/ NCR detachments are only assigned to specific shipstwo for the EMF and three or four for the NMCB, depending on the embarkation spreadload.

Nondebarkation team personnel will be billeted ashore; the NSE (ACU, beachmaster unit, and PHIBCB) personnel must debark also on Navy-day (O-2) to facilitate the embarkation of the NCHB personnel. The main difference in the Navy debarkation team for in-stream and pierside offloads is the reduction of the four-person lighterage control section during pierside offloads.

The Marine Corps debarkation team is under the OPCON of the OIC, OCU
(normally a Navy commander). The team may range from 6 to 40 Marines and corpsmen (normally the residual of the Marine Corps OPP). Accordingly, 30 to 50 Marines from the OPP must debark prior to day O-2 to facilitate the embarkation of the NCHB personnel on Navy-day (O-2). At a minimum, the Marine Corps ship OIC, two corpsmen, and three cooks/messmen must be retained as the six core personnel. The remainder of the team is task-organized based on the offload requirements. For a successful STS movement, a Marine Corps debarkation team must be billeted aboard the ship for 24-hour operations. These limitations are normally temporarily waived for 8 to 12 hours as AAV crews complete their final preparation for AAVs on O-day.

ACCOUNTABILITY AND VISIBILITY OF ASSETS LOADED ABOARD THE MPS DURING RECONSTITUTION IS CRITICAL TO ENABLE OUR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE/SHARE INFORMATION BETWEEN COMMANDS AND PLAN FOLLOW-ON OPERATIONS. THEREFORE THE FOLLOWING AIS (VERSIONS) WILL BE USED FOR
MPF RECONSTITUTION: 1.C.13.A. LOGAIS OR THE CURRENT AIS. 1.C.13.B. ORDNANCE INFORMATION SYSTEM (OIS). 1.C.13.C. DMLSS SYSTEM. 1.C.13.D. AGSE: LOCAL ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LAMS).

1.C.14. IN-THEATER EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE PREPARATION
EFFORTS ARE PARAMOUNT TO ENSURING READINESS IS MAXIMIZED AND OUR WARFIGHTING CAPABILITIES ARE NOT
COMPROMISED. THE FOLLOWING FACTORS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO THE OVERALL MPF RECONSTITUTION PLANNING EFFORT: 1.C.14.A. SUFFICIENT LEAD TIME MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO
THE MPS BACKLOAD AND REDEPLOYMENT SKED TO ENSURE
ADEQUATE PLANNING TIME AND RESOURCES ARE MADE
AVAILABLE. 1.C.14.B. SELECTION OF SUITABLE MPS RECONSTITUTION SITE(S)/
PORT(S) IS CRITICAL TO ENSURE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY IS
ACHIEVED IN PACKAGING, PRESERVATION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, SEGREGATION, STAGING, AND PREPARING EQUIPMENT
FOR REDEPLOYMENT. 1.C.14.C. ADEQUATE FACILITIES, SUFFICIENT HARDSTAND, AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT CONTAINER PACKING/STUFFING, VEHICLE MAINTENANCE, EQUIPMENT PREPARATION, AND WASHDOWN CAPABILITY WILL DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF REDEPLOYMENT/BACKLOAD OPERATIONS. 1.C.15. SELECTIVE GEOPREPOSITIONED ASSETS (SOURCE) ARE AVAILABLE FOR SOURCING TO SUPPORT MPF RECONSTITUTION. GEOPREPOSITIONED ASSETS NOT DESIGNATED FOR MPF RECONSTITUTION ARE AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT OUT-OF-AREA
USE PER REF J OR SUPPORT COMMARCORLOGBASES WRS REQUIREMENTS PER REF D. 1.C.16. THE NCF WILL REQUIRE STRATEGIC SEALIFT TO MOVE XX
TWENTY-FOOT EQUIVALENT CONTAINERS (XX SHORT TONS) FROM CONUS TO THE RECONSTITUTION SITE IN ORDER TO REPLACE/ROTATE IN-THEATER NCF ASSETS OFFLOADED FROM THE MPS. 1.C.17. COMMANDERS WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MPE/S AND RETURNED TO THE SPMAGTF/LCE CONDUCTING RECONSTITUTION PER REFERENCES C AND M. 2. MISSION. ON ORDER, MARINE CORPS AND NAVY FORCES RECONSTITUTE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES ABOARD MPS WITHIN THE XXCOM AOR IN ORDER TO PREPOSITION EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES ABD THE MPS TO REESTABLISH A GLOBAL MARITIME PREPOSITIONING FORCE (MPF) CAPABILITY AND INTEGRATE THE MPS INTO MMC-X. 3. EXECUTION. 3.A. HQMC INTENT. THE OBJECTIVE OF RECONSTITUTING OUR PREPOSITIONED CAPABILITY IS TO ENABLE A GLOBALLY INTEGRATED WARFIGHTING CAPABILITY FOR OUR MEFS. THE CAPABILITIES PROVIDED BY THE MARITIME AND GEOPREPO PROGRAMS MUST BE RECONSTITUTED AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE
AND BE RESPONSIVE TO THE WARFIGHTER AND THE SUPPORTED
CCDR. RECONSTITUTION OF OUR PREPOSITIONING CAPABILITIES
MUST BE DISCIPLINED TO CAPITALIZE ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SUPPORT EMERGING OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. 3.B. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS. THE MPS WILL BE RECONSTITUTED
IN A PHASED APPROACH THAT WILL NOT DETRACT FROM
ONGOING OPERATIONS WITHIN THE XXCOM AOR WHILE BEING
INTEGRATED WITH/INTO MMC-X. IN ORDER TO FULLY RECONSTITUTE THE MPE/S MPF RECONSTITUTION WILL OCCUR IN
TWO DISTINCT BUT OVERLAPPING PHASES: PLANNING AND EXECUTION. 3.B.1. PHASE I - PLANNING. PLANNING FOR MPF RECONSTITUTION
IS CONDUCTED IN THREE STAGES. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
BEGINS ONCE THE MPS ARE OFFLOADED TO SUPPORT MAGTF OPERATIONS AND IS CONTINUOUS UNTIL THE MPS ARE FULLY
INTEGRATED INTO THE MMC-X SCHEDULE. 3.B.1.A. STAGE I - INITIAL PLANNING CONFERENCE (IPC). FORMAL PLANNING FOR MPF RECONSTITUTION BEGINS AT THE IPC TO ESTABLISH THE ECG, AND REVIEW ACTIONS REQUIRED TO BE
COMPLETED ISO RECONSTITUTION. 3.B.1.B. STAGE II - MID-PLANNING CONFERENCE (MPC). DESIGNED
TO REVIEW THE PREPOSITIONING OBJECTIVE, REVIEW SOURCING
PLANS, REVIEW NEW FIELDING ISSUES THAT IMPACT THE IN- THEATER PORTION OF THE RECONSTITUTION, COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS, REVIEW PLANNING GUIDANCE AND PLANNING
FACTORS ISO RECONSTITUTION. IN ADDITION, THE MPC WILL
DEVELOP A MPS SEQUENCING SKED FOR RECONSTITUTION AND A MPS SEQUENCING SKED FOR MMC-X. 3.B.1.C. STAGE III - FPC. ON OR ABOUT R-DAY, AN FPC IS CONDUCTED IN-THEATER IN ORDER TO VALIDATE PLANNING GUIDANCE, PLANNING FACTORS, RETROGRADE SKEDS, CONCEPT OF OPS, ETC., ISO RECONSTITUTION AND ADJUST AS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT COMMARXXX AND CDR USXXCOM REQUIREMENTS. 3.B.2. PHASE II - EXECUTION. CONDUCTING MPF RECONSTITUTION
OCCURS IN TWO STAGES AND BEGINS IN-THEATER ONCE MAGTF OPERATIONS ARE COMPLETE AND/OR EQUIPMENT SORTING FOR
RETROGRADE BEGINS. MPF RECONSTITUTION OPERATIONS ARE COMPLETED ONCE THE LAST DOWNLOADED MPS CYCLES THROUGH MMC-X AND ATTAINMENT OF THE PREPOSITIONING OBJECTIVE IS COMPLETE. 3.B.2.A. STAGE I (IN-THEATER). RECONSTITUTION OPERATIONS
BEGIN IN-THEATER O/A R-DAY WITH THE IDENTIFICATION, RETROGRADE, AND RETURN OF MPE/S FROM THE OPERATING FORCES. THIS STAGE ENDS ONCE THE LAST MPS IS BACKLOADED IN THEATER WITH MPE/S. SUBPHASES DURING THIS STAGE WILL
BE OUTLINED IN APPROPRIATE ORDERS AND LETTERS OF INSTRUCTION THAT PROVIDE SPECIFIC DETAILS AND TIMELINES IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH SPECIFIC RECONSTITUTION
OBJECTIVES. 3.B.2.B. STAGE II (CONUS). RECONSTITUTION IN CONUS BEGINS
WHEN THE FIRST BACKLOADED (STAGE I) MPS RETURNS TO BICMD FOR MMC-X. THIS STAGE ENDS ONCE ALL STAGE I MPS HAVE CYCLED THROUGH BICMD AND HAVE REACHED APPROVED ATTAINMENT LEVELS. 3.C. TASKS. 3.C.1. HQMC (PP&O/PREPOSITIONING OBJECTIVE): 3.C.1.A. SET THE PRIORITY FOR RECONSTITUTING THE MPSRONS
