FOREWORD

23 February 2004

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 strategic airlift and

forward-deployed maritime prepositioning ships (MPSs).

An MPF operation is a mission-tailored, strategic deployment option that is global in nature,

naval in character, and suitable for various employment. 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 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.

MCWP 3-32,NTTP 3-02.3M supersedes Fleet Marine Force Manual l-5/NWP 3-02.3, Maritime Preposizioning Force Operations, September 1993.

FUNDAMENTALS

The maritime prepositioning force (MPF) Marine

air-ground task force (MAGTF) can directly support our national maritime strategy of protecting

key naval chokepoints and sea lines of communications (SLOCs). An MPF operation includes the

airlift of MAGTF and Navy elements, the Navy

support element (NSE), and naval coastal warfare

(NCW) units with selected equipment into an

arrival and assembly area (AAA) to join with

equipment and supplies carried aboard maritime

prepositioning ships (MPSs).

Echelon of Forces

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. An MPF

operation may consist of one ship, interacting

with a forward-deployed Marine Expeditionary

Unit (MEU); a maritime prepositioning. ships

squadron (MPSRON) and a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) fly-in echelon (FIE); or a

Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) falling in on

all three MPSRONs. The MPF is one component

of the Marine Corps' rapid response capability

triad, which also includes the air contingency

MAGTF (ACM) and forward-deployed amphibious forces (AFs).

Each triad component can be used separately or

integrated to further enhance a combatant commander'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 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 other joint, multinational or

combined force operations.

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. Execution

involves the following:

• Supporting forces such as the United States Trans-

'portation Command (USTRANSCOM), specifically the Military Surface Deployment and

Distribution Command (SDDC) or the Air Mobility Command (AMC). The SDDC is formerly the

Military Traflic Management Command.

• The host nation (BIN) and supported/supporting

combatant commander's organizations.

• Other deployment support agencies that the situation may demand.

While an MPF operation is conceptually simple,

the strategic dimensions, the number of major

commands involved as the force transits from theater to theater (from and to combatant commanders), and the 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 (CE5).

The scope of the operation may require activating

Navy reserves to conduct the offload and Marine

Corps reserves 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 with a risk!

threat assessment to determine if an MPF operation

is the appropriate force deployment option. Some

planning factors will be 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
1-2 MCWP 3-32

execution planning. Commanders must visualize

their concept of operations (CONOPS) ashore to

determine their arrival and assembly plans, which

determine their deployment plans.

The Initiating Directive

An MPF operation begins with the decision to

employ the MPF MAGTF. Typically, a combatant

commander—in.coordination with the Chairman

of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) and the subordinate component commanders, and as directed by

the President or Secretary of Defense (SecDef)—

initiates an MPF operation and subsequent

MAGTF operations. An initiating directive 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 (see ch. 3).

The CMPF; MPF MAGTF commander; and the

commander, Navy support element (CNSE) must

quickly determine the requirements and work

with higher headquarters to ensure sufficient

information and guidance is provided for rapid

and efficient execution. If an MPF operation augments an amphibious operation, the MPF mission and appropriate command relationship

guidance is included in the amphibious operation

initiating directive.

Planning is continuous, but the execution phase

actually begins with assigning a specific mission.

Terminating the arrival and assembly phase

occurs 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

and issued to arriving units; the MAGTF's command and control (C2) capabilities are established; and the MAGTF commander is ready to

execute the mission.

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 focus

shifts to the reconstitution of maritime prepositioning equipment and supplies (MPE/S) aboard

the effected MPSRON.

If a separate initiating directive is not published;

e.g., 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/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. (App. A is a sample

format that contains the "who, what, when, and

where" guidance.)

Forward Presence and Crisis Response

Development of the naval force structure derives

from the national military strategy (NMS), two

tenets of which are forward presence and crisis

response. Reinforcing US forward-deployed

forces and multinational partners and projecting

combat power across the range of military operations is an essential ingredient of the NMS.

MPSRONs are strategically based around the

globe (see fig. 1-1). Naval forces can link-up with

them 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 regional crises. The MPF 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
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 1-3

concentration of forces in a specific area. The

MPF permits rapid deployment into secure

areas where force introduction is essentially

unopposed and is expected to remain so through

the arrival and assembly phase. The MPF

enables MAGTF employment as follows:

• Augment an amphibious deployment or operation.

• Occupy or augment an advanced base.

• Defend key chokepoints along SLOC.

• Establish a blocking position for offensive and

defensive operations.

• Reinforce multinational pariners with a credible

force before hostilities, and sustain relations with

routine exercises and operations.

• Establish a sizable force ashore to enable closure

of additional forces.

• Deter potential adversaries by positioning MPSs

and alerting Manne and Navy forces (NAVFOR).

• Provide a rapid peacetime response in support of

foreign humanitarian assistance and civil support.

• Provide economy of force through reduction of

strategic airlift requirements, and reduction or

elimination of the need to employ APs capable of

forcible entry to a contingency that does not

require such force.

• Augment fleet defense by providing tactical air

support from ashore.

Establishing the MPF MAGTF Ashore

The essential requirement for an MPF operation is

a secure environment that allows for the arrival

and offload of ships and aircraft and joining personnel and materials for force standup. To establish the MPF MAGTF ashore, the following

conditions are required:

• A secure environment from initiation of strategic

deployment through completion of arrival and

assembly.

• Adequate strategic airlift and aerial tanker support.

• Adequate offload forces; i.e., MAGTF and NSE.

• Sufficient airfield space for Marine Corps tactical

aircraft, operational support airlift, AMC aircraft

and civil reserve air fleet (CRAP) operations, and

throughput capability to support the intended airflow.

• An ample port andlor beach area for timely offload and throughput. The port must have sufficient water depth, overhead clearance, and

maneuver room to admit MPSs. Beaches and

STRATEGIC CHOKEPOINTS
1-4 MCWP3-32

approaches ship-to-shore (STS) must be evaluated for hydrographic support and swept for

mines and other hazards.

• A suitable Iransportation network between the

port and/or beach, airfields, and assembly areas to

permit timely arrival and assembly of airlifted

units with sealifted equipment and supplies. This

may include railroads, barge traffic, and pipelines.

• Adequate force protection capabilities to meet any

potential threat in the AAA.

NMS

MPF is a key asset in the NMS by providing

regional focus, an adaptive planning capability; i.e.,

tailoring forces for a particular circumstance, and

force presence options. Through regional focus,

each MPSRON and the forces from the associated

MEF can respond worldwide, but remain especially

responsive to the theaters that are designated as

those of a possible major theater war (MTW) or

small scale contingencies (SSCs) or those supported by operation plans (OPLAN5) or contingency plans (CONPLAN5).

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

combatant commander with a wide range of capabilities to size the force for a particular mission.

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 forwarddeployed naval forces, the MPF can enhance a

force presence with potent complementary capabilities easily recognized by a potential adversary.

Rapid Response

to be fully operational within 10 days or less following initiation of the 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 establishing authority will promulgate command and supporting/supported relationships.

Relationships should be as consistent as possible to

ensure continuity and reduce potential confusion.

However, relationships must be flexible to support

all MPF phases and respond to new requirements.

Sustainment of the MPF

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 longer or less depending on the

size of the force, the number of MPSRONs supporting that force, and the following variables:

• Inclusion of an aviation logistics support ship (TAVB).

• Follow-up shipping.

• SLOCs length.

• Host-nation support (HNS).

Types of MPF Operations

Independent

Independent operations are those where the MPF

MAGTF becomes part of a joint task force (JTF)

that involves no other Marine Corps forces

(MARFOR) or those where the MPF as the JTF

supports allies. The key identifier is that the MPF

The goal of an MPF operation is to establish a

MAGTF ashore as rapidly as possible and for it
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 1-5

MAGTF remains an independent entity that is not

subsumed into another MARFOR, although the

MPF MAGTF commander may be dual designated as the MARFOR commander in the area of

operations (AO).

Augmentation

Augmentation, as defined in Joint Publication (JP)

1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military andAssociated Terms, is the transfer of forces

to the operational control of a supported commander during execution of an operation. MPF

augmentation operations are those where the MPF

MAGTF supports an existing MARFORor AF.

Phases

Planning

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). Deliberate

planning is ongoing, preparing for future, hypothetical military operations. CAP is conducted to

respond to present situations that might require

a US military response (see ch. 5).

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.

Arrival and Assembly

The arrival and assembly phase begins on 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, C2 is established, and the

MAGTF commander reports that all essential

MAGTF elements of the MPF are combat-ready

(see ch. 7). The arrival and assembly phase

includes the following:

• PreparetheAAA.

• Receive MAGTF, US Navy (IJSN), and US

Coast Guard (USCG) personnel and equipment at

• nearby airfields.

• Coordinate arrival and offload of equipment and

supplies from MIPSs.

• Issue MPE/S to arriving units.

• Provide local force protection for arrival

and assembly.

• Establish the MAGTF's combat capability (force

standup).

• Prepare the MAGTF mission; e.g., moving the

MAGTF to the tactical assembly area (TAA) or

the line of departure (LD).

Marshalling

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.

The marshalling phase begins on arrival of the

first unit at a designated marshalling point and

ends on departure of the last unit from a departure airfield (see ch. 6).

Movement

Reconstitution

The MPSRON is methodically restored to its

original strength or properties and full operational capability. Reconstitution is conducted

as rapidly as possible after the MAGTF completes its mission (see ch. 8).

Force Protection

The movement phase entails moving forces by

air and sea to the AAA. It begins on lift-off of

the first aircraft from the departure airfield or

Force protection impacts on employment,

CONOPS, planning, movement of forces, and all

activities in the AAA (see ch. 10).

This includes contract maintenance and logistics support of MPE/S aboard the MPSRON

and providing a technical assistance and advisory team (TAAT) for transitional assistance

to employing forces. MARCORLOGCOM

has delegated Blount Island Command

(BlCmd) as the executive agent for MPF

maintenance operations.
CHAPTER 3

COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS

An MPF is a temporary organization set forth by

an establishing authority. At a minimum, it is

comprised of a MAGTF with assigned naval

forces under the MAGTF CE, and an MPSRON,

NAVFOR, and naval forces under the command of

the CMPF (see fig. 3-1). Any MAGTF can employ

the MPE/S in the MPSRON. Figure 3-1 represents

a typical organization for independent operations

(see Chapter 1). The organizational structure and

command relationships for an MPF operation

which augments an amphibious operation will be

defined in the initiating directive for the

amphibious operation in accordance with JP 3-02,

Joint Doctrine for Amphibious Operations.

The establishing authority may be a combatant

commander, an existing JTF commander or a

subordinate unified commander. The establishing authority deploys and employs the MPF. As

the establishing authority delegates responsibil.-

ity for the MPF operation and the MAGTF

employment mission, it normally has operational

control (OPCON) of all assigned forces and the

authority to exercise general direction of the supporting effort. Some responsibilities follow:

• Issue the initiating directive.

• Establish command relationships within the

MPF.

• Designate the time to start moving the

MPSRON and the FIE.

• 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.

• Designate force protection functions to appropriate subordinates. Airward force protection

responsibilities may be delegated, retained or

subsumed by higher headquarters depending

on forces available.

• Approve terminating the MPF operation.

• Coordinate force disposition instructions when

the MPF operation is completed.

Tactical Control and Support

There are four command relationships: COCOM,

OPCON, tactical control (TACON), and support.

COCOM can only be exercised by combatant commanders and cannot be delegated. OPCON, which

is inherent in COCOM, can be delegated, as can

TACON and support. In MPF operations, the establishing authority may be delegated OPCON or

TACON of the MAGTF commander and CMPF by

the combatant commander. The establishing authority is responsible for establishing command relationships and the C2 structure for the MPF operation.

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

Figure 3-1. MPF Organization

(Independent Operation).
3-2 MCWP 3-32

mission requirements. While the establishing

authority normally has OPCON or TACON of

subordinate forces, the relationship between the

CMPF and MAGTF commander is normally supportedlsupporting. II reflects the same relationship

between the commander, amphibious task force

and the commander, landing force described in JP

3-02. Where possible, the MAGTF and CMPF

should work closely with the establishing authority to ensure the initiating directive reflectsthe

MAGTF/CMPF command relationships best

suited for all phases of the operation.

The establishing authority is responsible for

ensuring that the supported and supporting commander understand the degree of authority the

supported commander is granted (JP 0-2).

MPF MAGTF

An MPF MAGTF is comprised of four core elements: CE, ground combat element (GCE), aviation combat element (ACE), and the combat

service support element (CSSE). The MPF

MAGTF contains these elements plus the

NMCB. The NMCB provides deliberate engineering support to the MAGTF, including major

horizontal and vertical construction, facilities

repair, and other general engineering support.

CE

The CE is the MAGTF headquarters, consisting

of the MAGTF commander and staff. The CE

provides C2 and coordination to effectively plan

and execute operations by the other three

MAGTF elements.

GCE

The GCE is built around an infantry unit. It includes

combat support units such as artillery and armor.

ACE

The ACE is task-organized to provide all or part of

the functions of Marine Corps aviation based on

the MAGTF 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

sustainment for strategic and intratheater airlifi.

CSSE

The CSSE is task-organized to provide the full

range of combat service support (CSS).

NMCB

The NMCB provides a standardized and interoperable construction capability using various

packaged equipment modules called T/A-57.

T/A-57 contains three core modules (T/A-91),

one basic module (TIA-92), and one heavy module (T/A-93). Each core module contains civil

engineering support equipment (CESE), tool

assemblies, and support gear for 250 Navy construction engineers (SEABEEs). The basic module and one core module contain major vertical

construction capabilities. The heavy module and

one core module contain major horizontal construction capabilities. The NMCB table of organization and allowance is comprised of T/A-57

plus the FIE. The NMCB can also serve as the

forward echelon for a larger NCR deployment.

UCT

The UCT provides trained personnel and equipment to provide underwater engineering, construction, repair, and inspection. UCT

deployment is directed by the respective fleet

commander via the NCRs. Before an MPS offloads, the UCT can deploy an element of seven

personnel and 12 short tons of equipment to

inspect piers, beaches, and anchorages for suitability, battle damage, and obstructions before

arrival and assembly operations.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 3-3

Equipment includes the following:

• Underwater weight-handling equipment.

• Underwater construction tools.

• Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus

and surface-supplied diving equipment.

• Bathymetric survey equipment.

tion requirements to the fleet commander via the

CMPF, and exercises OPCON over the following subordinate elements comprising the NCW:

• The harbor defense command unit (HDCU) is

a deployable command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C41) unit

whose core purpose is to provide the harbor

defense commander's command center staff.

The HDCU uses a reserve-mobile ashore support terminal (R-MAST) system that provides

an extensive C41 capability.

• The mobile inshore undersea warfare unit

(MIUWU) is a deployable mobile tactical element comprised of surveillance and command,

control, and communications (C3), mobility,

logistics, and administrative support elements.

• The inshore boat unit (IBU) is a deployable,

armed, small craft unit that provides small craft

security support.

• The port security unit (PSU) consists of USCG

personnel and six deployable, armed, highspeed small craft that conduct harbor defense/

port security operations.

Commanding Officer, FH

The FH aboard the MPF is a USN asset. If offloaded and established in the AO, the FH commanding officer will report to that theater's naval

component commander. It provides Level III

health service support and general medical support through a modular, rapidly erectable 500-bed

hospital for all ground forces as coordinated during planning.

Commander, NCW Unit

The NCW unit is sourced from one of two NCW

groups (East or West Coast). It consists of reservists and active duty personnel from USN and

USCG units. The NCW unit participates in force

protection planning and operations as directed by

the CMPF, recommends naval reserve augmentaEstablishing Supported

and Supporting Roles

In a broad sense, the CMPF supports the

MAGTF. When a support relationship is established, it will typically vary by phase of the
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 35

operation per the initiating directive. It is incumbent upon the establishing authority to make

clear in the initiating directive 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. It also includes the following:

• Forces and other resources allocated to the sup-

• porting effort.

• Time, place, level, and duration of the supporting effort.

• Relative priority of the supporting effort.

• 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.

Likely MPF command relationships, responsibilities, and actions by phase follow.

Planning Phase

The MAGTF commander and the CMPF report to

the establishing authority for planning as follows:

• MAGTF commander: OPCON to MARFOR.

• CMPF: OPCON to the naval forces/numbered

fleet commander.

• NMCB: OPCON to the MAGTF commander.

• COMPSRON; CNSE; commander, Naval

Coastal Warfare (CNCW) unit; and FH commander's report to the CMPF as follows:

• COMPSRON: OPCON to the numbered

fleet commander, ADCON to the COMSC

through the MSC area commander.

• CNSE: OPCON/ADCON to the numbered

fleet commander.

• CNCW unit: OPCON/ADCON to the numbered fleet commander.

• PH commander: OPCON to the numbered

fleet commander.

• MAGTF commander publishes the operation

order (OPORD), arrival and assembly plan,

and the deployment letter of instruction

(LOl). (See app. B for a sample OPORD format and app. C for a sample arrival and

assembly format. App. C is prepared by the

MAGTF with the CMPF.)

• MAGTF commander and the CMPF coordinate

departure of survey, liaison, and reconnaissance party (SLRP) and the OPP.

Marshalling Phase

• CMPF and the MAGTF commander are

change of OPCON (CHOP) or TACON to the

establishing authority.

• COMPSRON, CNSE, CNCW unit, and FH

commander are CHOP to the CMPF.

• CMPF coordinates marshalling of the NSE, the

NCW unit, and other naval elements that may

be attached, with the MAGTF.

• CNSE assigns personnel to the SLRP and OPP

and coordinates with the MAGTF commander

for marshalling and movement.

• MAGTF commander has OPCON of all

assigned MAGTF elements.

• MAGTF commander assembles the SLRP and

OPP for movement.

• MAGTF commander coordinates, assembles,

and supports airlift of the MPF FIE with AMC

and the tanker airlift control element (TALCE)

via the supporting FMCC departure airfield

control group (DACG) at the APOE.

• COMPSRON continues coordination with the

MAGTF commander and the CMPF.

Movement Phase

• CMPF coordinates movement of the MPSRON.

• MAGTF commander coordinates movement of

all FIE elements.
3-6 MCWP 3-32

Arrival and Assembly Phase

• MAGTF commander retains OPCON of all

MAGTF elements and provides forces

TACON to or in support of the CMPF for

the offload.

• CMPF retains OPCON of assigned Navy elements and the MPSRON and conducts offload

operations according to the MAGTF commander's priorities.

• FH commander, upon offload and staffing,

becomes OPCON to the theater naval component commander (NCC) who is responsible for

its movement, set-up, and support.

• CNSE conducts the ship-to-shore movement of

MPE/S.

• MAGTF commander is responsible for the

throughput of MPE/S from the beach and port

to the unit assembly areas (UAAs).

• MAGTF commander prepares for the employment mission.

The arrival and assembly phase ends when

the MAGTF commander is prepared to

undertake the MAGTF employment mission.

The MPF operation resumes—although

reconstitution planning continues—when the

MAGTF employment mission concludes and

the establishing authority authorizes the

MAGTF commander and CMPF to begin the

reconstitution phase.

Reconstitution Phase

The MAGTF commander and the CMPF coordinate the reconstitution of the MPSRON. Reconstitution must be accomplished as efficiently and

effectively as possible. The MAGTF commander

and the CMPF coordinate and support the redeployment of the MPF.

MPF-related command relationships depend on

who 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 C2 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 the

supported MARFOR responsible for the reconstitution; the MEF MPF cell; the designated CMPF;

the reconstitution special purpose MAGTF

(SPMAGTF)/combat service support detachment

(CSSD) assigned to execute; and the TAAT provided by MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) to assist

(see ch. 8).
CHAPTER 4

READINESS

Maritime prepositioned stores are maintained by

contract maintenance teams (CMTs) aboard the

MPSRON. MPSs have dehumidified, temperature

controlled storage and built-in maintenance shops

and spaces. During ship recertification for inspection, MPE/S is offloaded for testing, maintenance, modification, and rotation.

Headquarters, Marine

Corps Responsibilities

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 (CMC) exercises these responsibilities

through Commander, Marine Corps Logistics Command (COMMARCORLOGCOM) (BICmd) and

operating forces commanders. Specific responsibilities follow:

• Establish policy for administration, control,

and use of MPE/S.

• Establish and maintain MPE/S equipment lists

and implement all required changes.

• Provide a single point of contact for problem

resolutions that require decisions at the Service

or DOD level.

• Establish and conduct periodic inspections of

embarked assets.

COMMARCORLOGCOM (BICmd)

Responsibilities

MPE/S before an exercise or contingency. This

includes administrative control, asset maintenance, and logistics support of MPE/S. Responsibilities follow:

• Administer the maintenance contract for USN

(based on inter-Service support agreements

[ISSA]) 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

custodial responsibility for all other

embarked assets to include aviation ground

support equipment (AGSE) and by ISSA

NSE equipment.

• Coordinate the replacement of unserviceable

assets, stock rotation, addition of new items or

deletion of assets.

• Provide quality assurance (QA) teams for contract compliance.

• Coordinate equipment issue and return from

units employing MPE/S during exercises or

operations.

• Assign designated equipment and personnel to

support offload and onload during all scheduled maintenance, exercises, and ship recertification cycles. Requirement determination is

established with applicable force commanders.

• Ensure applicable force commanders have

ready access to the status of assets; that readiness reports are accurate and timely; and that

supply and maintenance files are updated quarterly as equipment and/or MPF maintenance

cycle (MMC) cycles occur.

The COMMARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) has primary responsibility for material readiness of
4-2 MCWP 3-32

Shipboard Maintenance COMMARFORs' Responsibilities

MARCORLOGCOM is responsible for contract

administration and coordination of shipboard

maintenance activities. MARCORLOGCOM

(BICmd) has overall responsibility for quality

control and QA. QA is defined as the inspection

and monitoring of the contractor's efforts by

MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd). The quality control program is conducted abQard ship. It is the

contractor's responsibility to ensure efforts meet

established standards.

CMTs will 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. Space aboani ship may impose some limitations

as will embark configuration, personnel skill deficiencies, and spare parts availability. CMTs will have a

special operational stock of spare parts. Under normal

conditions, Class IX embarked for contingency use

will not be used. All supply support for CMTs will be

through MARCORLOCiCOM. When maintenance is

required beyond the capabilities of CMTs, a decision

will be made by MARCORLOGCOM on the disposition of the item. Other tasks assigned to CMTs

follow:

• 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.

• Maintenance of applicable equipment manual

record.

• Conducting joint limited technical inspections

(JLTIs) before accepting the equipment back

aboard the MPSs.

COMMARFORs monitor material readiness

of MPEIS through reports received from

COMMARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) and

through access to supply and maintenance

files. Other responsibilities follow:

• Ensure that COMMARCORLOGCOM (BICmd)

and HQMC are included in all plans that affect

MPE/S.

• Establish liaison with the COMMARCOLOGCOM

(BICmd) for withdrawal of specified MPE/S as

required.

• Review applicable equipment lists for MPE/S

and recommend changes.

• Make recommendations for modernizatiOn of

embarked assets.

• Assume responsibility for withdrawn MPE/S

and associated maintenance of assets while

employed for exercises or operations.

• Perform required inspections before turnover,

and accept responsibility for designated MPE/S

for use during training exercises or when a

CONPLAN is executed.

• Return MPE/S to full combat-ready condition or

provide funds to restore equipment to full combat-ready 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. COMMARFORs may provide augmentation for MARCORLOGCOM maintenance personnel on a "by exception" basis.

Embarkation

The MPSRON is loaded to facilitate timely offload, support some variation in troop lists, and
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 4-3

provide an operational capability even when one

ship is off station. Load reconfiguration during

forward deployment is not feasible. 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 will provide 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.

MPE/S Property Control Procedures

The key to rapid issue of unit equipment is a flexible, automated issue control system. Lists of

equipment are prepared for each unit and detachment responsible for MPE/S in the objective area.

To adjust equipment issue to the requirements of

the objective area; e.g., cold weather or desert and

to variations in the deploying force list (FIL),

MEFs maintain baseline issue lists predicated on

the notional organization of an MPF MEB. The

MEFs must ensure that all equipment and some

containers are assigned to specific battalions and

squadrons in the MAGTF Deployment Support

System 11 (MDSS II) or the current automated

information system (AIS).

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. Additional equipment requirements must be transported in the FIE

or separately with a follow-on force. The MDSS

II query should be FIE=T/E-E/L (table of equipment-[embarked] equipment list). The lists also

reapportion materiel when a ship within the

MPSRON is off station. MDSS II was adopted to

be used as the standard issue control system.

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.

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 and exercises to

prepare forces for short notice expeditionary service. SOPs should be written at the group and

regimental (0-6) level to the Service component

level (0-9/10).

DeploymentPostures

The various deployment postures are defined by

the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). The Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan (JSCP) levies requirements on specified commanders for short notice

deployment of certain force levels, and contains

certain planning estimates of times needed to

marshal MAGTFs for sea or air movement. The

deployment guidelines are for general military

capabilities. They do not orient towards 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 and/or the

time required to return to the home station if

ordered to do so before a scheduled time and

desired mode of transportation are available.
4-4 MCWP3-32

Increased Deployment Posture

A unit is relieved from commitments that do not

pertain to the mission; 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 overseas installations are identified.

Advanced DeploymentPosture

All essential personnel, mobility equipment, and

accompanying supplies are checked, packed,

rigged for deployment, and positioned with the

unit at its home station. Movement requirements

are confirmed; airlift, sealift, and intra-CONUS

transportation resources identified; and initial

movement plans completed by Commander,

USTRANSCOM.

MarshalledDeployment Posture

The first increment of deploying personnel, mobility equipment, and accompanying supplies are

marshalled at designated APOEs, but not loaded.

Sufficient aircraft and/or 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. Adequate TALCE,

stage crews, and support personnel to sustain the

airlifi/sealift flow at onload or en route locations

are positioned.

Loaded Deployment Posture

All first increment equipment and accompanying

supplies are loaded aboard ships and prepared for

departure to a designated objective area. Personnel

are prepared to load on minimal notice. Follow-on

increments of cargo/personnel are en route or available to meet projected ship-load 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.

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

retard 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.

SOPs

Numerous MPF operation aspects are expedited

by promulgation of SOPs. Many are also necessary for other requirements; e.g., 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.

• Responsibilities during normal deployment

posture and any increases in that posture that

are directed before issuance of an alert order.

• Identify standby requirements, responsibilities, and procedures to assign and rotate those

requirements.

• Personnel standards for deployment (medical,

inoculations, time remaining in service, sole

surviving son restrictions, power of attorney,

will, provisions for dependent support, nondeploying baggage, and amount and condition of

individual equipment and clothing).

• Unit recall and alert responsibilities and procedures.

• Unit equipment (including publications) to

deploy.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 4-5

• Unit responsibilities and procedures for turn-in

and disposition of remain-behind equipment

(RBE) in accordance with policies established

by higher authority.

• Unit responsibilities and procedures for turnin and disposition of personal vehicles and

possessions.

• Unit responsibilities and procedures to prepare

unit equipment for deployment. This includes

boxing, palletizing, mobile-loading, marking

vehicles for movement, disassembling equipment; e.g., helicopters, and updating embarkation data.

• Unit responsibilities and procedures for disposition of unclassified and classified records and

files that are not required for deployment.

• Unit responsibilities and procedures for providing assistance to families of deployed or

deploying personnel.

• Unit responsibilities for movement support.

• Unit authorities and procedures for return

of personnel assigned to temporary additional duty (TAD) or the fleet assistance

program (FAP).

• Procedures for transfer of unit responsibilities

for operating and supporting dining facilities.

• Relationship between operating force and supporting establishment organizations for

coordination and support, as established by

higher authority.

• Unit reporting responsibilities regarding deployment postures and changes thereto.

• Unit responsibilities for operations security

(OPSEC).

On Receipt of an Alert Order

At the initial receipt of an alert order, the unit

command duty officer executes the SOP's

recall procedures to assemble the commander

and staff to do the following:

• Make an initial assessment of what is known

about the developing requirements.

• What additional information is required.

• What must be done to prepare.

• How much time is available.

Based on this assessment, the commander provides guidance to the staff and subordinate

commanders regarding division of work, priority of effort, and OPSEC.

Assembling, Preparing, and Inspecting

Deploying Personnel

Includes the following:

• Assembly and initial briei for dqloying personnel.

• Administration of area-orientated inoculations.

• Checking individual readiness for deployment; e.g., family support, power of attorney,

will or identification (ID) tags/card.

• Disposition of personal vehicles and possessions.

• Preparing individual equipment and seabags.

• Issuing 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 operational capability and prepared for the

objective area (environment) and transit. Unit

equipment and supplies are palletized, vehicles

are prepared for air shipment. Organizational

RBE and garrison property is inventoried and

disposed of as provided by SOP. 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. Examples follow.
4-6 MCWP 3-32

Individual Training at Service, Fleet; e.g.,

Expeditionaiy Warfare Training Groups,

and Unit Schools

• Force deployment planning and execution

courses for officers and staff noncommissioned officers.

• Air movement load planning.

• Depreservation training.

• Flight fény (FF) planning for FW self-deploying aircraft.

• Embarkation and use of T-AVBs for afloat aviation maintenance.

Unit Training

• Force deployment planning and execution

courses and programmed texts.

• DACG and arrival airfield control group

(AACG) operations.

• Disassembly and assembly of rotary-wing

(RW) aircraft to be airlifted to the objective areas.

• Preparing RBE for turnover to parent

organizations.

• Preparing unit equipment and supplies for air

movement.

• AMC affiliation program training.

• NSE basic training.

• NSE intermediate training.

Exercises

• Air movement exercises for operating forces

and NSE units.

• 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.

Readiness Reporting

Units assigned to MPF duty will report unit readiness in accordance with Status of Resources and

Training System (SORTS) procedures. Equipment readiness is based on the unit's TIE and will

not consider MPE/S.

MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) consolidates equipment readiness information from each MPSRON

CMT and provides reports to the MARFORs. The

MARFORs or designated subordinate commanders

report SORTS data as directed. MPE/S are additive

equipment and supplies, and do not count as allowance items or prepositioned war reserve (PWR).

When the MPF MAGTF deploys with their FIE, the

RBE may be used to round out the reserves TIE.

• MPF deployment planning exercises.

• Short notice alert, preparation, and marshalling exercises for alert units such as the ACM.

• SLRP/OPP deployment training.

• Offload and MPEIS issue/recovery exercises

for CSSEs and other major subordinate elements (MSEs).

Force Requirements

Closure of the MPSRON to the arrival port/beach

is key to the deployment schedule of the advance

party and main body. The main body should arrive

after closure of the MPSRON. Otherwise, time and

consumable supplies are wasted, the deploying
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 4-7

force becomes a burden on the HN and/or supported command, and sustaining support requirements interfere with throughput efforts. Specific

force requirements cannot be accurately defined

until execution planning for the deployment starts.

While this 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 MAGTF CE, CSSE, and NSE deploy first.

to establish C2 and CSS capabilities in the

objective area to prepare for deployment of

combat forces.

• Day-to-day airlift capacity depends on many

factors that change from operation to operation. Unit readiness to deploy must be flexible

to meet airlift availability.

• 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, actual closure

time is situational.

CHAPTER 5

PLANNING

MPF planning is unique in that an MPF operation depends on extensive support from the AMC

of USTRANSCOM. Deployment planning

requires the use of the JOPES, which also supports contingency and CAP.

Planning references include the following:

• JP 5-0, Doctrine for Planning Joint Operations.

• Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Manual

(CJCSM) 3122.01, JOPES Volume I, Planning

Policies and Procedures.

• CJCSM 3122.03A, JOPES Volume II, Planfling Formats and Guidance.

• Naval Doctrine Publication (NDP) 5, Naval

Planning.

• Naval Warfare Publication (NWP) 5-0 1, Naval

Operational Planning.

• Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication 5, Planning.

Concurrent and Continuous Planning

While the thrust of MPF JOPES-related planning

concerns deployment, planners must understand that

quality deployment plans are the result of detailed

employment, arrival and assembly, reconstitution,

redeployment, and logistic plans. MPF commanders must plan concurrently for the five phases of

MPF operations. (Fig. 5-1 illustrates the many planning and execution actions involved across the continuum of an MPF operation. App. D through M are

checklists to assist the commander and his staff in

planning and preparing MPF operations.)

Contingency Planning

A CONPLAN is a combatant commanders estimate of how to deploy and employ forces for a

hypothetical operation. CONPLANs are the basis

for execution planning as crises develop.

Each combatant commander uses JOPES procedures to develop CONPLANs in accordance with

tasks and priorities established in the JSCP.

Service participation in JOPES processes ensures

Service requirements for common-user strategic

mobility and theater logistics support assets are

identfIed. Initial Service deployment data is based

on force requirements developed during deliberate

planning or the COA development phase of timesensitive planning. Movement requirements are

registered in the TPFDD. This data is the basis for

forming actual ship and strategic airlift loading

plans in execution planning.

All Service components develop plans to support

a combatant commander's CONPLAN. The two

categories for these plans are plans for operations in a specific geographic region (OPLAN) or

general deployment plans regardless of mission

or objective area (CONPLAN). MPF capabilities

are included in most of these deliberate plans.

In a specific geographic region, commanders

must provide coordination and control over the

MPF FIE, MPSRON, logistics pipeline, and, if

required, follow-up shipping and T-AVB. Proper time-phasing for the movement of

forces is essential to avoid throughput congestion at available ports, beaches, and airfields.

Specific area-oriented CONPLANs permit collecting detailed information regarding the

objective area, airfields, ports, beaches, and

facilities useful for MPF deployment. Each

MARFOR and MEF 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 per Marine Corps

Bulletin (MCBu1) 3501/Navy/Marine Corps

Departmental Publication (NAVMC) 2907,

MPF Prepositioning Objective. (P0). The

MAGTF employment mission ultimately dictates what to deploy and how to phase it into

the AO.

Developing TPFDD

CJCSM 3122.03A, JOPES Volume II, contains

the general formats and content requirements of

OPLANs and CONPLANs. The MAGTF commander develops a TPFDD per JOPES Volume

HI that reflects MAGTF movement requirements.

The CMPF provides a 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 TPFDDs are based on notional delivery time lines. 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 then

is a means to register the MPF overland, airlift

(to include FIE), and follow-up shipping

requirements with the Commander,

USTRANSCOM. The updated TPFDD also

provides the MPF's task organization to military commanders at all levels.

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, the various element commanders recommend TPFDD updates during deliberate and

CAP. Build-up of CSS (including NSE) and C2

must precede the introduction of combat elements

to conduct the offload. MPE/S should be issued

before the MAGTF prepares for subsequent operations ashore.

A deployment plan is developed as a flexible, easily modified plan that introduces the MPF into the
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 5-3

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, airfield

facilities in the AAA, will, in turn, influence the

deployment and arrival and assembly plans.

Assessment of Prospective AAAs

Combatant commanders—with Service commanders providing forces—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 HN support.

This is a long-term collection effort with continuous file maintenance requirements.

commander's concepts of organization, employment, and deployment. As appropriate, the plan is

revised or worst case, dismissed and a new planmng sequence initiated.

Execution Planning

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 abbreviation of steps and procedures

throughout the planning process. Availability of

current CONPLANs and unit SOPs is essential. A

supported combatant commander or designated

representative will make and promulgate basic

decisions to begin the planning process (see next

para. and fig. 5-2).

Refinement of Load Plans Basic Decisions

Load plans must be periodically assessed by

MEF/MEB commanders with results provided to

the coordinating authorities. Adjusting load plans

and TPFDDs will change as new equipment is

introduced. Adjustments can be made during

MMCs or following MPF exercises, and should

principally be based on the MEF/MPF MAGTF

commander's warfighting priorities.

Plan Transition

Once a CONPLAN is prepared and approved, it is

the basis for developing real-world execution plans

as assessment of a situation occurs. 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 reexamination of the

Refinement of Basic Decisions

Operational considerations such as force protection in the AOs, 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 combatant commander or establishing authority.

Mission

In initiating an MPF operation, the establishing authority determines the MAGTF mission

and FH mission if employed. The mission

ashore is the basis for all further planning of

the MPF operation as a whole. The MPF mission focuses on the expeditious deployment

and assembly of forces to meet the requirements of the MAGTF commander and PH commander. The initiating directive usually

delineates the following:

• General AO.

• Required tasks of the MAGTF.

• General time period for the deployment.

• Time constraints on deployment operations; e.g.,

availability of aircraft.

• Required time to achieve operational capability.

• Estimated duration of tactical operations.

Command Relationships

Command relationships should be established

that minimize disruption of C2 of MPF operations during the transition from planning through

deployment and execution phases. Supported and

supporting combatant commanders normally

include command relationships in their operations directives.

Concept of MAGTF Operations Ashore

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 and establish a basic CONOPS. The

concept of MAGTF operations ashore provides

the following:

• Objectives.

• The scheme of maneuver ashore.

• The general fire support plan.

• The concept for logistics support.

• The concept for aviation operations.

• Warfighting priorities.

• The F/L and preferred arrival sequence.

Concept of Arrival and Assembly Operations

This concept consists of the basic sequence for.

arrival and assembly, selecting offload sites, procedures for C2, and a proposal for 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 Commander, USTRANSCOM. AAA

components follow.

OffloadLocation

The CMPF, in coordination with the MAGTF

commander, determines beaches and ports for

offload. Primary consideration of the CMPF in

selecting beaches and ports will be the MAGTF

commander's CONOPS ashore.

Arrival Airfield

The establishing authority, based on the recommendation of the MAGTF commander, selects the

arrival airfield. This choice will be approved by

USTRANSCOM based on supportability. Identifying the arrival airfield must be considered when

selecting ports and beaches.
Maritime Prepositloning Force Operations 5-5

MAGTF Element UAAs

UAAs are identified by the MAGTF commander

to support the rapid assembly of forces. It is here

that MAGTF elements receive and prepare their

designated MPE/S for the employment mission.

Anchorages

Explosive safety quantity distance (ESQD) arcs;

anchorage depth; bottom type (sand, rocky);

currents; and distance to shore must be considered when anchorages for MPSs are assigned.

Concept of Deployment

After the basic plans for operations and arrival

and assembly are formulated, a deployment plan

is developed that includes the following:

Marshalling concept.

Overland movement concept.

Air movement.

Sea movement.

FF.

SLRP and OPP considerations.

Special Considerations and Control Measures

Special considerations and control measures are

required for expeditious arrival and assembly of

deploying forces. They consist of assigning AOs

ashore and designating coordinating authorities,

main supply routes (MSRs) or intermediate staging

areas. The MAGTF commander normally determines these measures once basic decisions are

made to establish the AAA. The AAA must be

approved by the establishing authority with the

FIN. The AAA is administrative in nature and does

not denote command of a geographic land area,

although it may be inside an AO or a joint operations area (JOA). Within the AAA, the MAGTF

commander is responsible for the following:

• Prioritizing and using airfields, port and beach

facilities, and transportation networks.

• Air traffic control (ATC).

• Logistics/HN activities.

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 combatant commander—

in coordination with the joint/HN team—who is

responsible for the AO. Security measures range

from establishing various security or exclusion

zones under international law—as in the case of

an independent MPF operation—to a more traditional AO for an augmentation operation. These

result in clearly defined mission responsibilities

for the following:

• Air space control.

• Area air defense.

• Ground security.

• Sea security areas.

• Fire support coordination.

Force Protection

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 often shared by

the HN in the AAA (see ch. 10 for detailed information). Initial planning considerations follow:

• Ships en route and in the AAA area.

• En route support bases/facilities.

• Arrival airfields.

• MAGTF UAAs.

• Port and beach facilities.

CAP Phases

CJCSM 3122.01, enclosure E, shows the

detailed responsibilities and actions that take

place across the six phases of the CAP process.

The phases follow:

• Phase 1, Situation Development.

• Phase 11, Crisis Assessment.

• Phase III, COA Development.

5-6 MCWP 3-32

• Phase IV, COA Selection.

• Phase V, Execution Planning.

• Phase VI, Execution.

The following planning responsibilities and

actions, many unique to MPF operations, begin in

Phase III, and range across all levels of command from the CJCS through MPF elements.

This "warning phase" is the period of time

between Phases I and II and a Presidential/SeeDef decision to begin Phase V for military action.

It typically begins with promulgation of a CJCS

warning order that sets a deadline for submitting

COAs by the supported combatant commander

and Commander, USTRANSCOM.

Combatant Commander, Establishing

Authority, and Service Component

Commanders Planning

The CJCS warning order generates initial appraisals of military options and capabilities. The supported combatant commander provides

supplementary details for the MAGTF's mission

refinement and ID 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 ID of major combat

forces and transportation requirements. Numbered

fleet commanders report capabilities and limitations to combatant commanders and assist in

development of Navy COAs. Based on the available information, the supported combatant commander constructs a commander's estimate to

submit to the CJCS. USTRANSCOM examines

preliminary movement data, assesses requirements, and prepares preliminary force closure estimates. As a separate action, a combatant

commander in the MPSRON OPCON chain of

command may direct the NCC to dommence the

transit of that MPSRON toward the objective area.

Specific actions follow:

• Review and update the F/L. Deploying forces

must be identified as early as possible during

Phase III. Throughout Phase III, Service components review and update the F/L. Major influencing factors include the current notional 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 liaison between the supported and supporting combatant commander to ascertain the

current status of MPF forces; e.g., MPSs may

not be available because of their maintenance

cycles or an exercise.

• Reposition the MPSRON. Repositioning of the

MPSRON may be directed by CJCS between

Phases III and IV. Early repositioning of the

MPSRON will reduce force closure times.

Under normal operating conditions, MPSRONs

can get underway within 24 hours of notification.

• Mobilize Selected Reserves. Certain USMC,

USN, and USCG organizations that support the

MPF require mobilization of reserve personnel

for offload operations. It will then be necessary

to request activation of selected units as early as

upon receipt of the warning order. Specific

reserve requirements will vary with the type of

offload, offload time requirements, and other

ongoing commitments. Other reserve requirements must be addressed by the cognizant Service. For further information see JP 4-05, Joint

Doctrine for Mobilization Planning and Joint

Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (JTTP) for

Manpower Mobilization and Demobilization

Operations: Reserve Component Callup.

• Activate T-AVBs. Although T-AVBs are not

part of the MPF, they can be employed to support MPF operations. Their use should be considered during Phases III and IV due to their

reduced operational status (ROS) and the long

lines of communications (LOCs) from SPOEs to

seaports of debarkation (SPODs).

Liaison with Commander, USTRANSCOM

and Supporting Agencies

The supported combatant commander and supporting commander should establish early liaison with

Commander, USTRANSCOM and other supporting agencies involved in force deployment. This

liaison is necessary to ensure that relevant and

timely information exchange occurs. A refined

TPFDD must be made available to Commander,

USTRANSCOM along with coordination to

arrange to move forces.

Execution Planning

Phase V begins when a CJCS alert or planning

order is issued. Although preliminary planning

begins during Phase 111 and deliberate planning is

an ongoing process under JOPES, issuing a CJCS

alert order with the initiating directive starts formal execution planning.

Upon receipt of the initiating directive, the CMPF and MAGTF commander report to the

establishing authority. Together, they conduct formal coordinated planning based on a

detailed analysis of the MAGTF's and/or FH's

mission and CONOPS. In augmentation operations, responsibility for developing the

OPORD depends on the command relationship

of the MPF to the augmented force. The establishing authority prepares an OPORD incorporating this analysis. The MAGTF commander's

planning will include as a minimum: CONOPS,

concept for deployment, concept for arrival and

assembly, and concept for logistics support.

The CONOPS states the intent for execution of

the mission and clearly defines the type of

MPF operation (augmentation or independent). The MAGTF commander's CONOPS will

determine the warfighting priorities (see fig. 5-

3), which in turn determine the offload

priorities that will be promulgated in the

arrival and assembly plan (see fig. 5-4).

The overall concept for deployment states the

concept for deployment of the MAGTF and NSE

Figure 5-4. Sample Off load Priorities.

to the theater. Content includes desired arrival

and closure dates and specifics on early repositioning of the MPSRON, with or without movement of the OPP, SLRP, and advance parties.

The concept for arrival and assembly is the general concept for the offload pier side, instream or

a combination of the two. Intentions for fuel and

water discharge must also be promulgated.

The concept for logistics support includes a sustainment pipeline and an AO/theater support

system. Specific support requirements for the

MAGTF ACE must be mentioned.

Commander, USTRANSCOM coordinates and

monitors MPF deployment activities through

JOPES, which also enables CJCS and the supported combatant commanders and supporting
5-8 MCWP 3-32

commanders to monitor the MPF deployment status. To effectively coordinate its responsibilities,

USTRANSCOM (after coordination with supporting and supported combatant commanders)

will establish and promulgate a deadline to submit MPF movement requirements in the TPFDD.

Execution

Phase VI begins with the issuance of a CJCS execute order. On receipt of this order, the supported

combatant commander coordinates with supporting commanders and agencies regarding final

preparations for deployment of the MPF. Strategic

deployment of the MPF commences while concurrent planning continues.

OPORDs are promulgated as directed by the establishing authority. Supporting commanders and

agencies will publish OPORDs as required. MPF

elements will publish OPORDs that reflect the current mission. These OPORDs usually reflect reliance on use of previously prepared unit SOPs.

MPF Plans Developmental Hierarchy

There are seven primary plans associated with the

five phases of an MPF operation:

• Employment plan.

• Arrival and assembly plan.

• Deployment plan.

• MPE/S distribution plan.

• Sustainment plan.

• Reconstitution plan.

• Redeployment plan.

MPF OPLANs are 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.

Planning and deployment sequencing for an

MPF operation requires an understanding of the

general time lines involved as an MPF operation unfolds. (Fig. 5-5 is a sample exercise time

line template; fig. 5-6 is a sample reserve exercise time line in C-days.)

The MAGTF's Employment Plan

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

time line for establishing MAGTF capabilities, is

critical to the development of the arrival and

assembly plan and subsets of it like the MPF offload plan or the movement plan and the AAA

overlay. The MAGTF commander must be able

to articulate what combat capabilities must be

ready and when. Information for planners working AAA operations must include the following:

The mission.

• Commander's intent.

• Priorities of MAGTF capabilities; i.e., in a

foreign humanitarian assistance or support to

domestic authorities mission, priority of initial asset distribution may go to the initial

security forces, the CSSE, then to other

MAGTF elements.

• A general understanding of the MAGTF commander's AO to include depth and breadth.

Arrival and Assembly Plan

This 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, 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 certain conditions existing in the AAA.

One or more airfields exists within the AAA with

the capability to do the following:

• Recover and launch AMC strategic aircraft.

• Recover 20-25 AMC transport and/or 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 FW and RW tactical aircraft.

A usable port exists within the AAA with the

capability to do the following:

• Berth ships with drafts up to 37 feet (fi) to offload pier side.

• Accommodate the ship's stern ramp and

vehicle weight on the pier (see app. N for

ship data).

• Provide a surge offload capability to stage

vehicles, perform initial corrective maintenance, and to stage containers (preferably

hard stand).

• Provide for the offload of fuel, water, ammunition, and possible storage of the same.

If no usable port is available, then a suitable

beach must exist within the AAA with the following capabilities:

• Ofiload MPE/S with access to improved road

networks.

• Provide sufficient staging/maintenance areas

suitable for the offload of MPE/S.

• Discharge fuel, water, bulk liquids, and possible storage of the same.

Transportation, all types of petrolium, 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.

Enclosures

There is no set format for the arrival and assembly

plan. An LOl or the JOPES foimat is acceptable. The

arrival and assembly plan encompasses the early

establishment of sufficient unloading and throughput

forces (LFSP and NSE). These forces are in the AAA

through the movement to the TAM. The arrival and

assembly plan may include the following enclosures:

AAA Overlay. MPF terrain management., associated control measures, and force protection units

must be graphically represented to provide a comprehensive display of units and activities. Overlays (AAA, beach, port, and airfield as seen in figs.

5-7 thru 5-10) are essential for integrating MPF

activities with force protection responsibilities.

Accordingly, terrain management is an essential

function of MPF staff planning.

Off load Planning

Offload of an MPSRON or a portion of an

MPSRON can be conducted pierside, instream or

by a combination of both. The establishing

authority will determine the offload method

based on recommendations by the CMPF and

MAGTF commander.

A pier side offload is the quickest and most efficient method. During a pier side offload, all vehicles are driven off the ship via the stern ramp and

containers are lifted using ships' cranes and/or

HN cranes. An important consideration for pier

side 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 stern ramp rests against the pier; e.g.,

some vehicles cannot negotiate the stern ramp if

the angle is too steep.

MPS have the capability to execute an instream

offload using organic cranes and embarked lighterage. Prime factors that affect any decision on

instream offload methods are environmental factors and the sea state before the offload starts.

The two methods of instream offload are lift-on!

lift-off (LO/LO) and roll-on/roll-off (ROIRO)

discharge facility (RRDF).

LO/LO

LO/LOoperations are slow and cumbersome. All

embarked equipment and containers are lifted off

via a ship's crane from ship to lighterage and

moved to the beach landing sites.

RRDF

The RRDF is generally the preferred instream

offload method. It is basically a floating pier

made up of embarked lighterage. The NSE constructs the RRDF. Lighterage to construct an

RRDF is two powered causeway sections, six

nonpowered intermediate causeway sections, and

two warping tugs. After the RRDF is assembled,

a single warping tug is required to keep it on station. The six nonpowered intermediate causeway

sections and one warping tug are located on each

maritime prepositioning force (enchanced)

(MPF[E]) ship.

Note: The MPF(E) ship of MPSRON 2 does not

have a warping tug.

Once the RRDF is constructed, the ship lowers its

stern ramp onto the RRDF. Rolling stock is driven

down the ramp, across the RRDF onto a barge

ferry, and then transported to the beach-landing

site. This requires a significant portion of the

embarked lighterage. Due to spreadloading of
Maritime Prepositioning Force OperatIons 5-13

lighterage required for the RRDF, the entire

MPSRON is required to assemble the platform

without degrading STS capability.

This method of offloading rolling stock onto

barge ferries is significantly faster than offloading via the LO/LO method. The three MPSRONs

have different RRDF ramp certifications:

• American Overseas Marine (AMSEA): 88,000

pounds (Ibs).

• Maersk: 29,000 lbs.

• Waterman: 135,520 lbs.

• United States Ship (USS) Martin: 400 measurement ton (MT).

• USS Stockham: 160 long ton, side ramp 71.43

long ton.

• USS Wheat: 147 longton.

Due to the unique design of the Maersk class

ship, all principal end items (PEIs) and containers

loaded on the weather deck must be offloaded

before unloading the containers in the decks

below. In the AMSEA and Waterman classes,

vehicles and containers can be offloaded at the

same time.

Once the SLRP has evaluated the AAA, a decision on offload method will be made and the

time lines adjusted accordingly. The time lines

of the MAGTF's ability to be combat-ready will

be affected by the offload method, the limited

capability of the MPSRON to move containers,

and the time required to marry ammunition with

weapons systems.

Bulk Liquids

Each MPSRON carries equipment and supplies

in containers that enable fuel and water facilities

to be established ashore in a short amount of

time. Bulk liquids can be transferred from ship

to shore yia the buoyant hose line system. The

NSE, operating under favorable sea state and

weather conditions, can set up a 15,000 ft hose

in 10 hours. If the beach gradient requires a

longer hose line, MAGTF (CSSE) pumps may

be required to establish intermediate pumping

stations. Maximum effective pumping distance

is 10,000 ft for each product.

Transition to Employment

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 to employment requires detailed planning

and coordination, focusing on MAGTF readiness. MAGTF plans for transition to employment should include the following:

• Clear delineation of responsibility for force protection and local security.

• Notification to higher headquarters that all units!

detachment—as they become operationallyready—are not required to assist further in

arrival and assembly tasks.

• Use of TAAs for subsequent or concurrent tactical operations.

• Plans for response to hostile action during

arrival and assembly.

• Allocating staff planning efforts among arrival

and assembly, deployment activities, and activities in preparing for subsequent employment.

Disposition of MPF Components

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 in as much detail as possible.

MAGTF

• Assigned mission and expected duration of

employment.
5-14 — MCWP 3-32

• Expected command relationship changes; e.g.,

independent JTF operations or augmenting

another MAGTF.

• Support requirements.

• Recommend, in coordination with CMPF, disposition of MPF shipping.

CMPF

• Follow-on or other assigned missions as

directed.

• Recommend, in coordination with the MAGTF

commander, disposition of MPF shipping.

MPSRON

• Status of offload; e.g., fuel and water ashore visa-vis HN support capability, MAGTF storage

capacity, MAGTF usage rates.

• Shortfalls in storage areas/facilities ashore may

necessitate use of one or more MPS as a station!

warehouse facility until sufficient facilities are

developed ashore. Shortfalls may require MPS

to function as mobile CSS facilities for inshore

operations positioning and repositioning as necessary along the coast parallel to the MAGTF

movements. (This is an example of a withhold

shipping requirement.)

• Upon release of MPS from MPF operations and

with the concurrence of the supported combatant commander, MPS will shift OPCON to

Commander, USTRANSCOM for use as common user sealifi.

• The level of force protection that can be provided will be a key consideration as to the

amount of time the MPSRON remains in the

offload area.

• Lighterage may be needed for offload of

assault follow-on echelon follow-up shipping

after 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 instream water and

fuel hoses deployed.

NSE

The NSE may remain in place if backload,

reconstitution, 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 and/or beach would remain

open for resupply, reinforcing or joint logistics

over-the-shore operations. The NSE will perform these tasks until the operation terminates

or is relieved by Army terminal units.

FH

If needed ashore, the FH will be offloaded,

staged, and signed over to the NCC for transport

to the assembly site.

Deployment Plan

The deployment plan prescribes the MAGTF

commander's concept for deployment. It organizes the movement groups and assigns tasks and

responsibilities. It entails force deployment planfling and execution (FDP&E), marshalling priori- ties, the air and sea movement plans, and

identifying the PIE.

FDP&E provides definition of available and

required movement dates in JOPES. FDP&E

examines deployment options to identify the

assets required to move planned forces to the

required destinations via airlift and sealift.

FDP&E uses backward (reverse) planning.

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.

FDP&E works backwards from the RDD to

determine movement dates (time line) from the
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 5-15

origin to the POE, continuing through the POD to

the ultimate destination. FDP&E is highly interactive with JOPES and requires constant plan

coordination and TPFDD refinement.

Initial Planning

• Analyze the mission objectives of the force.

• Identify force requirements.

• Develop COAs.

• Analyze existing deployment plansiTPFDD.

• Analyze lift requirements.

• Prepare the MAGTF and CMPF for deployment.

Plan Development

• Refine and establish mission warfighting priorities and objectives.

• Develop a CONOPS.

• Refine the force and E/L.

• Refine the deployment plan/TPFDD.

• Provide a refined deployment pIanITPFDD to

the supported combatant commander for a transportation feasibility estimator (TFE) and

throughput analysis.

• Schedule the movement of MPF units.

Marshalling Plan

At a minimum, the marshalling plan must do the

following:

• Designate marshalling areas.

• Identify transportation requirements and allocate

transportation assets for movement to marshalling areas.

• 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.

• Prescribe procedures for assembling aircraft loads.

• Disseminate procedures for coordinating with

other Services and external support agencies.

Air Movement Plan

Movement of MPF elements by air involves the

strategic airlift of personnel, equipment, and

helicopters, and the FF of the MAGTF's FW

self-deploying aircraft. Air movement is

planned by the MAGTF commander in coordination with the establishing authority, MPF element commanders, the MEF/MARFOR

strategic mobilty office, and AMC planners. A

general air movement plan is developed that

prescribes the organization and movement of

units that is later refined with validated TPFDD

information and compiled in the air movement

sequence table (see fig. 5-12).

The Air Movement Sequence Table

This table reflects MAGTF and Navy TPFDD

movement priorities and group organization for

deployment. It lists TPFDD unit line numbers

(ULNs) based on estimated time of arrival in the

AAA, nominally the LAD.

The air movement sequence table, coupled with the

air movement requirements listed in the TPFDD,

enables movement control agencies to track, identify, and account for deploying elements. 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.

• Availability of cargo and passengers at APOE.

• Distance to deploy the force.

• Diplomatic clearances. APOE/aerial port of debarkation (APOD)/en route support base capabilities.

• APOD/AAA air space security.

• AirflowC3.

• Deployment sequence.

• Aircraft loading factors.

• Airlift tempo and throughput coordination.

• EAD/LAD at the APOD. Normally, there is a 3 to

4 day difference between the EAD and LAD to

facilitate Commander, USTRANSCOM and

AMC scheduling and reduce service costs.

To provide in-transit visibility (ITV) of capability, upon commencement of airlift, the MAGTF

ALE, in coordination with the supporting MEF,

will coordinate with the major subordinate commands providing forces to ensure actual cargo

and passenger data for each aircraft mission is

entered into the TPFDD..

AirSpace Management

The supported combatant commander must coordinate early with the HN to establish appropriate air

control measures. In an augmentation operation,

standard expeditionary air control measures will

apply. However, independent operations may

require establishment of coordination methods t

allow for unhindered air operations (earner- or
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 5-17

land-based) in and around the AAA. Control zones;

approach, holding, and arrival/departure patterns;

checkpoints; and ordnance procedures will be

established as necessary. Integration of air C2 procedures with the HN is necessary to ensure safety

and security of all forces involved. The Marine air

command and control system must interface with

joint and multinational air C2 systems.

ArrivalAirfield

The arrival airfield must meet the requirements

set forth in chapter 7. If the arrival airfield and

FW base of operations are separate airfields, no

conflict will exist and the ACE aircraft may

deploy to the base of operations prior to completion of the airlift. However, should one airfield

serve both, and security or operational considerations require early employment of FW aircraft

during FIE arrivals, the impact on throughput

will be significant and probably adverse. The

following must be considered when selecting

the arrival airfield:

• HN airfield facilities may require expansion

and/or duplication.

• Capacity of approaches and traffic pattern; e.g.,

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.

• Base loading. Adequate space and facilities

may not be available. Typically, the better a

facility is the more likely its full use by HN

organizations.

AdditionalAirfields

The desire to separate FW and RW operations and

parking space limitations may indicate a need for

an additional airfield to accept immediate deployment of helicopters. An additional airfield

increases arrival airfield throughput, and reduces

the problems associated with simultaneous operation of FW and RW aircraft.

Sea Movement Plan

Seamovement 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 fig. 5-13).

Figure 5-13. Sample Sea Movement Plan.

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 not earlier than 24 hours

before the initial airlifted elements arrive. Normally, SLRP deployment is timed to arrive in the

operating area 8 to 9 days before ship arrival.

FF 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

divert airfields. The MAGTF commander develops this plan with his ACE commander. Direction for and approval of the plan is obtained
5-18 MCWP 3-32

from the combatant commander via the establishing authority. Both the MARFOR and AMC

may provide aerial refueling. The MAGTF must

coordinate strategic refueling support with those

organizations' planners.

The FF and airlift plans, while similar, have different requirements that must be coordinated by

the supported and supporting combatant commanders. Movement of AMC aircraft and FW

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), C2, billeting and messing, POL,

maintenance, and service facilities. Overflight

rights may impact on in-flight refueling arid staging base requirements. Supporting and supported

combatant commanders will provide flight route

clearance and security for staging bases and flight

routes within their AORs. The use of JOPES

ensures coordination of the FF operations.

Deployment C2 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 areas.

• OPSEC.

• Inspections.

• Briefings.

• Ground movement to APOEs.

• Load procedures.

• Organization of APOEs.

• Deployment support.

• Execute ULN sequence in accordance with

TPFDD.

• Provisions for RBE, supplies, and personal

effects.

Movement Control

• Sea movement concept (CMPF and COMPSRON).

• Closure estimate.

• Track.

. Enroute stops.

• Escort requirements.

• Replenishment.

• OPP embarkation.

• Air movement concept (MAGTF commander).

• General staging and overflight coordination.

• Sequence of deployment.

• FFroutes.

• Aircraft load factors.

• Aerial refueling areas.

• En route support concept.

• En route support base.

• Airlift tempo and throughput coordination.

• EADs, LADs, and RDDs.

SLRP and OPP Deployment

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 combatant commander for the earliest

possible deployment of the OPP and SLRP.

MPSRON repositioning may dictate early OPP

deployment. Early SLRP deployment is required

to validate geodetic, hydrographic, and facilities data, and coordinate HN support.

TPFDD Update and Closure Estimates

The TPFDD will require updates and maintenance throughout strategic movement of the

MPF. Updated closure estimates may require

TPFDD modifications. The Commander,

USTRANSCOM and the supported and supporting combatant commanders and their Service

components will coordinate and validate all

TPFDD changes.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 5-19

MPEIS Distribution Plan

The success or failure of the MPF operation

may be determined by the effectiveness of 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 will contribute to throughput and ensure

strict accountability and security. Technical

assistance from the MARCORLOGCOM

(BICmd) TAAT facilitates MPE/S distribution.

All MPE/S should be designated to specific battalions, ACE squadrons, and separate companies in MDSS II after the MMC. Designation

will ensure that MPE/S goes to the correct unit

which will, in-turn, reduce the amount of equipment in the FIE. Consideration must be given to

the below requirements 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

from the MAGTF, NMCB, FH, and NSE, and

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 liaison with the officer in charge (OIC) OPP to reconcile disparities between physical inventories

on MPS and load plan E/Ls.

Equipment

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 CSSE will establish a container operations

terminal (COT) lot in the combat service support

area (CSSA). Each MPSRON may offload over

2,000 containers, many containing the sustainment of the MAGTF. 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 will be returned to

the CSSA COT lot for temporary storage until the

reconstitution phase. Commands that desire to

use empty containers for other purposes; e.g.,

bunkers, armories or office spaces, must obtain

permission from MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd)

through the MAGTF commander. Containers are

critical to reconstitution and are expensive to procure. Damage done to the container structure will

preclude it from being certified to be embarked

aboard MPS.

MPE/S Accountability

Once all MPE/S are offloaded, accountability for

them will transfer from MARCORLOGCOM

(BICmd) to the MAGTF commander, who will

sub-sign them to MSEs. Upon completion of the

MAGTF's mission, MPE/S accountability transfers back to MARCORLOGCOM (BlCmd)

through the SPMAGTF/CSSD executing the

reconstitution.

Adequate quantities of AIS equipment are essential for the distribution system to work properly.

The AAOG, AACG, LFSP, AAOEs, and NSE

should possess automated data processing equipment (ADPE) necessary to fulfill their control

Sustainment Plan

The Services are responsible for sustainment of

their forces, so they must be prepared to establish
5-20- MCWP 3-32

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 P0 or the FIE.

• Items for sustainment beyond the 30 days available

on MPSRONs. See MCWP 4-12, Operational

Level Logistics; JP 4-01.4, .JTTPfor Joint Theater

Distribution; and JP 4-09, Joint Doctrine for Global Distribution.

• Personal demand items (Class VI) and food supplements (Class 1) typically required by 0+10.

These are listed as nonunit records in the TPFDD.

The initiating directive will designate responsibility

for embarkation and movement of the follow-up

shipping from the port of origin to the objective area.

See also JP 4-01.2, JTTP for SeaM Support to Joint

Operations; JP 4-01.5, JTI'P for Transportation Terminal Operations; and JP 4-01.6, JTTP for Joint

Logistics Over-the-Shore.

Reconstitution Plan

The goal of reconstitution is to reestablish 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 MPS

employed in an operation is made at the CJCS level

based on recommendations of the combatant

commander. A combatant commander, the Services

(Navy and Marine Corps), and the Commander,

USTRANSCOM will be directed by CJCS to

execute the reconstitution. In small operations or

exercises, such as one ship being offloaded, the

responsible combatant commander will initiate

actions to reconstitute. Once initiated, the MPF

reconstitution process must be coordinated with the

geographic combatant commander and included in

redeployment planning (see ch. 8 for reconstitution

planning and execution).

Location Factors

Options for the location of reconstitution sites

include the area of the MPF operation or an alternate geographic location. Factors that may contribute to this decision follow:

• If the MPS will be reconstituted in the same

form or will be altered to accommodate changes

in operational requirements and capabilities.

• Possibility of nuclear, biological, and chemical

(NBC) attack or decontamination requirements.

• The availability of maintenance and port facilities.

• The anticipated condition of MPE/S and availability of replacements.

• Time considerations and allowances to accomplish reconstitution.

• A ship certification schedule.

• Retrograde plans.

• Future operational commitments.

Advance Planning

Advance planning will facilitate the success of

the MPF reconstitution and should focus on

three functional elements: ground equipment

and supplies, NSE, and AGSE.

Redeployment Plan

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 andlor demobilization stations for reintegration and/or out-processing. (JP 1-02). Redeployment of the MAGTF and MPF elements from one

operating area to another involves the backload of

MPE/S previously placed ashore from the ship.

How redeployment is conducted depends on the

MAGTF's assigned mission and the distance from

the POE to the new objective area. During redeployment, JOPES procedures are used.
CHAPTER 6

MARSHALLING AND MOVEMENT

Deployment encompasses all activities from ongin or home station through destination, specifically including intra-CONUS, intertheater, and

intratheater movement legs, staging, and holding

area. (JP 1-02) The key point is that MPF deployment involves movement from home station all

the way to the TAA. Deploying echelons, organized by plane or ship teams, assemble at their

home station, prepare for deployment, and move

in accordance with the established plan or when

called to stage at APOEs or SPOEs.

Marshalling

Marshalling for sea and air movement is covered

in JP 3-02.2, Joint Doctrine for Amphibious

Embarkation and Debarkation, and Department of

Defense Regulation (DODR) 4500.9-R, Defense

Transportation Regulation, Part III, Mobility.

Parent commands supervise preparing for deployment (see ch. 4). They outline 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 to the maximum extent

possible. Requests for transportation in excess of

organic capability are coordinated by the LMCC.

The CMPF transportation requirements for elements deploying by airlift are coordinated with

the MAGTF commander.

AMC will exercise overall control of airlift operations at APOEs. AMC TALCE will establish 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

TALCE 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 will

provide an officer at the APOE to coordinate—with

DACG and TALCE—the arrival of unit equipment

and personnel.

TALCE, DACG, and APOE installation commanders must coordinate 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), will ensure

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 thç staging area. This area should be

sufficiently 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 mode: sea 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 HE) is divided into•

elements that deploy from different APOEs at

different times (see fig. 6-1 on p. 6-2).
6-2 — MCWP 3-32

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 rendezvous with escorts (if

assigned) and transit to the AAA. TAV-B and follow-up shipping will proceed as directed (see app.

N for MPSRON capabilities and characteristics).

oPP

The OPP initially deploys by air but arrives in the

AAA as part of the sea movement group aboard

the MPSRON (see ch. 7 for OPP functions; app. I

for the OPP checklist; and app. 0 for a notional

OPP table of organization [Tb]).

Follow-Up and Sustainment Shipping

Follow-up shipping provides lift for additional

critical items that are not in the MPS P0 and

could not be lifted as part of the PIE. Depending on the length of the MPF MAGTF employment mission, sustainment shipping will be

coordinated to provide all classes of supply past

the 30 days aboard the MPSRON.

Air Movement Group Elements

(FIE Organization)

Air movement is a continuous, progressive

operation that transports successive elements

of the deploying force to the objective area.

The total time required will depend on the

number, type, and initial locations of forces to

deploy, aircraft availability, range, and

throughput considerations. Some critical low

density/high demand and other sustainment

items may be shipped by air.

SLRP

See chapter 7 for SLRP functions; appendix H for

the SLRP checklist; appendix 0 for a notional SLRP

T/0; and appendix P for the SLRP report format.

AdvanceParty

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 ch. 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 CEs of the

MAGTF and CMPF.

WARNING

Forces must not be introduced into the AO

faster than logistic support can be provided

from the off load and throughput processes.

Main Body

The main body of the PIE is the balance of

forces (less the FF) that remain after the OPP,

SLRP, and 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.

FF

FF operations involve the transit of self-deploying

aircraft of the ACE and aerial refueling support.

Supporting refuelers may be provided by the

Figure 6-1. Movement Concept.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 6-3

MARFOR or AMC. Different aircraft types may

require different planning considerations. If selfdeploying 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. This will facilitate moving the ACE to the

arrival airfield on call and without the requirement

for additional tanker support.

MovementControl 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. 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 USN personnel by air.

Coordination for air movement is made directly

with Commander, USTRANSCOM and other supporting agencies. Reports of the movement are

made through normal chains of command keeping

all commands informed (see fig. 6-2). See also

ABIISR

(EMCC

Figure 6-2. Movement Control Organizations.

MCWP 4-11.3, Transportation Operations; JP 4-

01, Joint Doctrine for the Defense Transportation

System; and JP 4-01.3,J7TPfor Movement Control.

FMCC

The FMCC is the MEF commander's principal

movement control organization responsible for

movement and marshalling support. Through

coordination with AMC, the FMCC promulgates

the air movement schedule with the parent commands that execute the marshalling activities of

the FIE. The FMCC will coordinate directly with

MSC and NCC on movement of the MPSRON.

LMCC

LMCCs are organized from the FSSGs/CSSEs or

the supporting establishment in geographic proximity to the marshalling units. LMCCs are tasked by

the FMCC to provide organic/commercial transportation, transportation scheduling, MHE, and any

other logistics support required by the parent commands during marshalling. LMCCs (FSSGs/

CSSEs) will provide a DACG for the APOE as

directed by the FMCC.

DACG

DACGs are the primary interface with the AMC

TALCE at APOEs. A DACG is responsible for

receiving deploying equipment and personnel

from the units at the APOE, coordinating with the

TALCE to ensure that the cargo and personnel

are properly prepared for air shipment, and delivering cargo to the ready line.

AACG

AACGs are the primary interface with the AMC

TALCE at APODs. An AACG is responsible for

receiving and moving personnel, equipment, and

supplies from the aircraft flight line to initial staging areas.
6-4 MCWP 3-32

Airlift Liaison Element

The MAGTF commander will establish a liaison

element at each APOE to provide for coordination

with the DACG. It includes personnel from the

MAGTF and MSEs. The airlift liaison element

(ALE) is normally located in the staging areas at

designated APOEs. Responsibilities follow:

• Establish liaison with the DACG and other

deployment support agencies.

• Assist in the final preparation of vehicles and

equipment in accordance with DODR 4500.9-R,

Part III.

• Ensure that required dunnage, shoring, and tiedown materiel accompany unit loads to the

joint inspection (JI) area.

• Provide load plans, personnel, and cargo manifests, with appropriate copies to the DACG in

accordance with DODR 4500.9-R, Part III; and

assemble personnel, supplies, and equipment

into sequenced preplanned aircraft loads in

accordance with established load plans.

• Ensure plane team and/or troop commanders

are appointed and properly briefed on their

responsibilities.

• Ensure aircraft loads arrive at the JI area at

times required/coordinated with the DACG.

• Ensure correction of all load discrepancies

found during JIs.

• Adjust aircraft load sequence.

• Deploy with late departing MAGTF elements

on the last few aircraft in the airflow.

Sealift Liaison Element

The MAGTF commander will establish a liaison

element at each SPOE to provide for coordination

with the MAGTF 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 deploying unit will establish an area where

the unit will marshal for movement to the APOE

or SPOE. The C2 for this area is the unit movement control center (UMCC). The UMCC will

coordinate with the LMCC on their planned

movement to the APOE or SPOE. For more

detail on movement control, see MCWP 4-11.3,

Transportation Operations.

En Route Movement Control Center

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 FMCC of any

delays in the movement of the FIE and FF. 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.

TALCE

If an intermediate staging base (ISB) or

advanced base is required for AMC aircraft, a

TALCE will deploy to that location to coordinate AMC activity there. The MAGTF may

deploy an EMCC with the TALCE 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 support of

MPF FIE passengers delayed en route because

of aircraft maintenance problems.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 6-5

The TALCE 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) will deploy ahead of the main TALCE

to coordinate strategic and AMC requirements at the

arrival airfield. Areas of concern include ramp parking, runway conditions, cargo marshalling areas,

and airfield support (crash/fire/rescue, NAVAIDS

or personnel support). The AD VON will coordinate

with the SLRP (through the airfield coordination

officer [ACO]) to obtain services from US forces

and the HN. The AD VON may deploy equipment

to establish communications with AMC C2 agencies and the ACO before the main TALCE arrives.

Host Base/Stations

Host base/stations assist marshalling units by

providing local logistics support, MHE, transportation, security, staging areas, and other support required by the deploying unit. If required, host base/stations assume custody of RBE.

MCBs and MCASs will establish a BOSG and

SOSG, respectively. The BOSG and SOSG will

coordinate their support efforts for the deploying MAGTF.

POEs

Installation commanders at or near POEs provide

MHE, transportation, security, and other support

as requested by the deploying unit.

CHAPTER 7

ARRIVAL AND ASSEMBLY

The AAA is an area of sufficient size and facilities to perform the complex tasks of arrival, offload, MPE/S distribution, assembly, and preparing

the MAGTF for employment. Arrival and assembly may well be the most crucial phase of an MPF

operation. It includes the following:

• Initial preparation of the AAA.

• Coordinated arrival and offload of MPEIS

from the MPSRON in port, across a beach or a

combination of both.

• Reception of the FIE.

• Movement and distribution of MPE/S.

• Security.

• Preparing the MAGTF for its employment mission.

Responsibilities

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 material 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.

Commencementand Disestablishment

The arrival and assembly phase begins on

arrival of the first MPS or the first transport

aircraft mission of the main body at the designated AAA. This phase ends when adequate

MPEIS are offloaded and issued to awaiting

units, C2 communications are established, and

the MAGTF commander reports 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.

Arrival and Assembly Plan

Annex S of the Joint Operation Order, as applied

to MPF operations, will contain the arrival and

assembly plan. This annex is written by the

MAGTF commander, in coordination with the

CMPF, and approved by the establishing authority

(see app. C for the arrival and assembly plan

notional format).

SLRP

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. SLRP composition is taskorganized 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, NCW, NMCB, UCT, FH, and CNSE

staffs. A MAGTF officer will be designated, in

coordination with CMPF (if designated), as the

SLRP OIC. Criteria for selecting the SLRP OIC

should be based on a knowledge of MPF requirements with consideration given to the diplomatic

skills needed to interact with high level FIN civilian and military representatives.
7-2 MCWP 3-32

MOLT

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. MOLT

tasks follow:

• 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 work space requirements onboard MPSs before the OPP embarks;

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 will convey the

MAGTF commanders offload priorities to the

COMPSRON and ship's master. Those priorities will define the objectives for offload preparation by the MPSRON, MCMC, and OPP.

Organization

TAAT

The TAAT advises the MAGTF commander on

the offload, issuing MPE/S, and proper documentation/accountability between BICmd and the

gaining MAGTF MSE.

OPp

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

offload at the 'AAA. On activation, the OPP will

deploy to join the MPS 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 OPP OIC will be a Navy officer designated by CNSE. The Marine OPP contingent

will be under the cognizance of the senior

Marine officer, called the assistant OPP OIC.

On arrival aboard the MPSRON flagship, the

The OPP consists of personnel from the MAGTF,

NSE, naval embarked advisory team (NEAT),

and designated force protection units. The OPP is

embarked on the MPSRON by off-load day

(0-day) minus 4(0-4).

The OPP headquarters is comprised 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

will transition to be the OCU OIC on 0-I (Navyday) to provide continuity of operations. The

assistant OPP OIC, designated by the MAGTF

commander, may transition to become the

MAGTF offload liaison officer. The OPP headquarters is normally billeted aboard the flagship,

depending on ship availability.

The OPP OIC will publish 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.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 7-3

Tasks

Each OPP detachment prepares all the MPSRON

ships' offload systems, lighterage, and embarked

MPE/S for offload. OPP 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 follow:

• Ship's cargo handling systems; e.g., cranes,

winches, slings, container handlers, container

loading system for logistics vehicle system

(LVS), fuel, and water discharge systems.

• Lighterage.

• NSE equipment for instream and beach offload

[TAMCNs] that start with "X"). • MI-IE and vehicles required to support the offload

(TAMCNs that start with "B" and "D").

• All other equipment.

Disestablishment

The OPP disestablishes upon arrival of MPSs and

on 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.

Arrival and Assembly Organizations

Arrival and assembly organizations are a composite of personnel from the SLRP, OPP, and the

advance party. The advance party is task-organization 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 is comprised of the LFSP (with personnel augments from

the other MSEs); the entire NSE; and Marine,

Navy, and USCG force protection units. The

advance party should arrive in the AAA on 0-4 to

prepare for the MPSRON's arrival on 0-2 and

NSE's preparations on Navy-day.

Arrival and Assembly Operations Group

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, FH, and NMCB (see fig. 7-1).

Responsibilities include:

• Monitor the airflow of the FIE into the AAA.

• Coordinate and monitor the throughput and

distribution of MPE/S from the MPS to the

UAAs, specifically the AAOEs within those

areas.

• Coordinate the association of MPE/S with designated organizations.

• Provide initial C2 functions for the MAGTF in

the AAA.

• Direct and coordinate AAOE operations.

• Provide direction, coordinate, and interface

with the LFSP and ACO until the respective

MAGTF elements assume responsibility for

those functions.

• Publish the daily SITREP (see app. R.)

• Coordinate with HN for support of offload and

throughput operations.

Figure 7-1. C2 Organizations

for Arrival and Assembly.
7-4 MCWP 3-32

• Prioritize resources for offload and throughput

of MPE/S to AAOEs.

MOE

Each element within the MAGTF and NSE establishes an AAOE to perform the following tasks:

• Provide initial C2 activities within their assembly area until arrival of the element commander.

• Obtain receipts for MPE/S and verify items

with the AAOG.

• Distribute MPE/S to unit equipment reception

points (ERPs) per the MAGTF commander's

distribution plan.

• Provide 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.

ACO

The ACO is designated by the MAGTF commander under the cognizance of the ACE, and

acts as the single point of contact for HNS and

other support peculiar to aviation operations at

the airfields. Non-AMC support requirements

identified by the TALCE ADVON will be coordinated through the ACO. The ACO should be a

member of the SLRP to facilitate early airfield

operational planning. Functions coordinated by

the ACO follow:

• Ramp allocation and aircraft parking.

• ATC.

• Fuel storage and dispensing.

• Aircraft rescue and fire fighting (ARFF).

• Allocation of facilities and real estate.

• Flight clearance.

• Airfield improvement.

• NAVAIDS.

• Arresting gear.

• Airfield lighting.

• Interface with the AACG.

LFSP

The LFSP is a task-organized unit composed primarily of personnel and equipment from the

CSSE. The headquarters is usually sourced from

that FSSG's transportation support battalion (TSB)

and NSE augmented by other MAGTF elements.

The LFSP controls throughput of personnel and

MPEIS at the port, beach, and airfield. The LFSP

falls under the OPCON of the AAOG OIC (see

fig. 7-2).

• AACG.

• MCC.

P06

The FOG is task-organized from the TSB's beach

and terminal operations company and the Navy

cargo handling force (NCHF). 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

under the overall direction of the LFSP and in

coordination with the ship's debarkation officer

(see fig. 7-3).
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 7-5

Functions follow:

• Establish overflow areas for MPE/S.

• Provide surge vehicle operators.

• Establish communications with the LFSP and

ship's debarkation officer.

• Establish liaison with MN port authorities for

operations and MHE, longshoreman support,

and dunnage.

• Provide MHE support including shore-based

cranes, forklifts, tractors, dollies or lighting.

• Assist NCHF detachments in ship offload as

directed and transport cargo to overflow areas.

• Establish bulk fuellwater reception and transfer

facilities as directed.

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

BOG

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). It may be retained after

the arrival and assembly for the offload of follow-up

or sustainment shipping. Functions of the BOG and

associated NSE BPTs follow:

• Provide the beach area C2 for MPE/S throughput.

• Organize and develop the beach area to support

the MPEIS throughput, including designating

and establishing overflow areas.

• Coordinate bulk liquids' transfer.

• 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.

AACG

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 manned to provide

continuous operations support for multiple aircraft. Normally, the AACG will deploy with the

advance party to initiate operations at the arrival

airfield. The AACG is the interface between the

LFSP and the TALCE at the arrival airfield (see

fig. 7-5).

MCC

The MCC operates under the cognizance of the

LFSP and coordinates with the FMCC during

unit movement, force tracking, and maneuver!

convoy planning. Movement control functions

consists of planning, validating, allocating, routing, managing, prioritizing, coordinating, and

force tracking on all transportation issues. This

may include support of reception, staging, and

onward movement of forces. See JP 4-01.8, JTTP

for Joint Reception, Staging, Onward Movement,

and Integration, for more information. The MCC

normally includes operations and logistics representation. Size and complexity of MPS arrival

and assembly operations determine the actual

structure of the MCC. MCC tasks follow:

• Plan transportation support, develop policies,

provide guidance, recommend movement priorities and procedures for movement control and

highway regulations guidance to the FMCC.

• Plan, coordinate, and oversee large or special

movements with the FMCC.

• When delegated by the FMCC, issue convoy

clearance for approved movements.

• Provide highway movement planning assistance to the FMCC to designate MSRs and

establish control measures to support the

MAGTF commander's CONOPS.

• Coordinate movements with the FPO to ensure

appropriate securty is in place.

STS Movement

CMPF is responsible for accomplishing the offload of MPE/S (instream or pier side). The OCU

executes the offload—under the direction of the

offload control officer (OCO)—who reports to

CNSE. 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.

For instream offload operations, the ship's debarkation officer, lighterage, and BPT report to the OCO.

The debarkation officer's responsibility is to coordinate the efforts of the Navy cargo handling

detachment, Marine debarkation teams, and the

employment of lighterage to most efficiently offload each ship. The Navy cargo handling detachment will conduct the LO/LO while Marines

conduct the RO/RO or move PEIs under the hatch

square for the cargo handling detachment.

Lighterage consists of causeway ferries; sideloading warping tugs (SLWTs); and landing

craft, mechanized-8s (LCM-8s) that are maintained by the NSE. Boat crews report to the

OCO for ship and beaching assignments.

The beach party group (BPG) and its BPTs are

the NSE units responsible for beach operations.

The BPG reports to the OCO and advises the

OCO about areas available for causeway/boat

landings and transferring bulk liquids. The BPG,

which may be TACON to the LFSP, coordinates

with the BOG.

For pier side offload operations, all is the same as

for instream offload operations except there is no

BPG required. Lighterage may be offloaded and

placed ashore or in the water as directed by the

primary control officer (PCO).

Port Operations

Offload of the MPSRON in a port, especially

simultaneous offloading of more than one ship,

will accelerate throughput. A port offload

requires less personnel, reduces the potential for

MPE/S damage or loss, and is far less susceptible to the effects of sea state and weather. But it

requires more interface with the HN and

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 pier side offload of an entire MPSRON is
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 7-7

an unlikely scenario. Manpower required for such

multiple offloads will very quickly outstrip the

MAGTF/NSE's personnel staffing.

Port Area

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

commander. 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.

POLs and Ammunition

POLs and ammunition should not be held in the

port or port overflow areas. They should be

transported directly to CSSE storage sites.

PortAuthority

Ifthe FIN port authority is not functioning, the

CMPF or SDDC will assume this responsibility.

If the HN port authority is functioning, the

CMPF will designate a Navy port liaison officer

(LNO) to provide coordination between the

MPSRON and the HN. The port LNO advises

the port authority regarding cargo characteristics

(including hazardous cargo) and offload requirements that may impact on 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 andlor anchorages.

• Tug/pilot services.

• Firefighting services.

• Pier side services.

Beach Operations

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 will 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 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 numbered beaches, one 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 TALCE,

AACG, and ACO. Designation of offload ramps

and holding areas will be accomplished jointly

by the TALCE and AACG. Holding areas will

be 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 will be

established close to holding areas for medical

and other support (portable toilets, shelter or

water) for arriving units. Facilities will also be

bring MPE/S ashore or a beach operation may

established for AACG and TALCE support (C3,

billeting, and messing).

MPEIS Distribution

Effective execution of the distribution plan, as

discussed in chapter 5, is paramount to maintain

accountability of MPE/S to ensure they are delivered to the correct UAA and received by the

AAOE. AAOEs conduct inventories and inspections of all designated MPE/S to ensure the element is ready for standup.

UAAs are geographic locations for the reception

and employment preparation of MSE/NSE MPE/S

(see fig.7-6).

Force Standup

Standup is those actions required to prepare units

for operational missions. This occurs after all

arrival and assembly operations are completed. (all

MPE/S have been distributed to and received by

the AAOEs in their UAAs). The AAOE is the C2

node for the UAA. A UAA may have multiple

ERPs for specific units of that MSE (see fig. 7-7).

Detailed planning by each MAGTF element is

required so that the element is prepared for

employment in accordance with the MAGTF

commander's CONOPS. Force standup actions

follow:

• Create consolidated memorandum reciepts

(CMRs).

• Establish the COT and execute the MAGTF

container plan (see fig. 7-8 for a notional

COT).

• Prepare for reception, staging, onward movement, and integration.

• Distribute element/unit MPE/S in containers.

• Associate collateral equipment to PEIs.

• Conduct limited technical inspections (LTIs) and

operational checks of vehicles and equipment.

• Boresight weapons systems.

• Calibrate all equipment.

• Perform required maintenance.

• Standup logistics trains and availabile CSSE 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.

• Assemble EAF as necessary.

• Establish initial supply dumps.

CHAPTER 8

RECONSTITUTION

This fifth phase of MPF operations is referred to

as reconstitution. It involves regenerating and

replenishing the MPE/S to attain the P0 and reestablish the warfighting capability aboard the MPS

as rapidly as possible upon completion of

MAGTF employment operations. MPS reconstitution may include replenishing equipment and

supplies from the CONUS.

Detailed planning for reconstituting the MPF is

the responsibility of the designated MARFOR

commander supported by augmentation from

the supporting establishment. Specific intheater

reconstitution objectives and operational and

logistical factors will ultimately influence the

supported combatant commander's guidance to

the MARFOR.

In addition to the supported combatant commander's planning guidance, the Service headquarters will provide its own guidance to the

Marine component commander to ensure operational requirements in support of all combatant

commanders are considered in the planning effort.

To assist the MARFOR to plan and coordinate,

an executive coordination group (ECG) will be

established by the Deputy Commandant for

Plans, Policies, and Operations (DC, PP&0),

with OPNAV (N75), during initial MPS reconstitution planning. The ECG will develop the framework for reconstituting the MPS and advise the

MARFOR on Service headquarters' priorities.

Reconstitution is fuiiy complete once MPSRONs

redeploy and reintegrate into and finish their MMC.

SECTION I. A TOTAL PROCESS

Reconstitution is a total process that includes

planning, establishing a C2 structure, developing and maintaining supply lines, assembling

supporting personnel and equipment, deployment, site development, coordination, redeploy- ment and finally, completing the process at

BICmd (see fig. 8-1 on p. 8-2). 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 the CONUS to achieve the combatant commanders' and MARFOR's readiness

objectives. Extensive replenishment of MPE/S

will primarily take place in the 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 phases: planning and execution.

Phase I, PLanning

Stage I, Predeployment

Stage I begins with establishing the ECG, followed by the following minimum actions:

• Review ECG structure, working groups, membership, objectives, and tasks.

• Develop 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 begin on page 8-10.

plans.

Figure 8-1. Reconstitution Planning and Execution Matrix.

• Hold an initial planning conference (IPC) to

develop time lines and initiate coordination of

requirements with the designated MARFOR.

• Develop and publish reconstitution planning

guidance message based on Chief of Naval

Operations (CNO)/CMC guidance (see app. S).

• Schedule an IPC to review options, recommendations, and initial planning guidance.

• Coordinate with MARFOR and combatant

commander staffs affected by the MPF

employment to develop future requirements

and review reconstitution objectives.

• Source the ECG members to report for planning to the senior member of the ECG

(PP&O, P0).

• Coordinate with PP&O reconstitution and

redeployment planning team to ensure essential elements; i.e., priorities for MPF reconstitution, guidance on level of in theater, outside

AOR and CONUS reconstitution are included

in the HQMC planning guidance message.

• Recommend changes to the MMC to DC,

PP&0, and associated changes to ship's maintenance and hull certifications as required to

MSC (via PP&0).

• Request MARFOR decision in coordination

with combatant commander, 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 I I, Post-Employment

Once the MPF employs and is conducting

MAGTF operations ashore, the ECG coordinates

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 will bring

an assessment of their reconstitution capabilities

and requirements. The MARFOR's representative

will bring 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

logistics requirements.

• Prepare sourcing and P0 attainment strategies

for MPF reconstitution. Attainment is the

process to assemble the quantity required of an

item from new acquisitions, the stores' systems

or unit 1/Es.

• Develop plans, orders, and LOIs.

The RLST prepares for deployment into the theater of operations (in coordination with the

MARFOR and combatant commander's staff) to

support on-site planning and coordinating the

reconstitution of the MPS. The following

actions by the ECG and RLST are planned during this stage:

• Review and validate the members of the

RLST and coordinate deploying personnel

with MARFOR.

• Begin validating and updating planning

assumptions and the extent of reconstitution

actions.

• Establish the composition of support personnel

to include MEF LNOs and Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) program

manager representatives for deployment to

reconstitution sites.

• Schedule the MPC in the CONUS or intheater

(depending on anticipated required time line)

to accomplish the following:

• Review the extent of MPE/S downloaded

from the MPS and the impact on attainment

planning factors.

• Continuously review MPE/S usage and darnage reports to use as planning factors to determine the overall attainment timeline.

• Review/validate the established P0 and provide recommended changes for future POs

based on attainment, fielding, and acquisition factors.

• Review HQMC published guidance on the

overall redeployment, deactivation, and reconstitution plan to verify possible impact on

MPS reconstitution; e.g., 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 equipment

must be returned so the SPMAGTF/CSSD 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; e.g., Marine Logistics Command (MLC) or SPMAGTF/CSSD

(see app. T for notional T/0 and TIE).

Stage III, Transition to Execution

(Phase V, MPF Operations)

Stage III begins with establishing a designated

redeployment day (R-day) when MARFOR and

NAVFOR units may begin reconstitution. Before

the first MPS can be backloaded with MPE/S, they

must be prepared for long-term storage. At least

60 days of preparation activities (maintenance,

cleaning, level-A packaging, preservation, etc.)

will likely occur before the first ships' MPE/S are

staged and ready for backload between R-day

through R+60. The MARFOR will schedule a

final planning conference (FPC) intheater, once Rday is established, to accomplish the following:

• Review the redeployment time line and impact

to reconstitution operations.
8-4 MCWP 3-32

• With assistance of the RLST, the MARFOR

will develop a final time line and estimated

completion dates for reconstitution of the

MPS in theater. This plan requires final

approval from the MARFOR in coordination with the combatant commander and Service headquarters.

• Finish preparing staging, washdown, maintenance, and warehousing sites.

• Review and submit critical, high demand, support equipment (LVS, MHE, container-handling equipment [CHE], generators, etc.)

requirements to the MAGTF CSSE.

• Review available equipment from the CONUS

(MARCORLOGCOM and Naval Facilities

Engineering Command [NAVFACENGCOM])

and determine impact on the time line and on

the last date to ship assets from the CONUS in

theater.

• Review the overall process to include:

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 preparation of MPE/S

for turn-in and turn-in locations.

Reconstitution differs from redeployment in purpose and scope both in terms of the redeployment of the MA GTE, and the redeployment of the

MPSRONs. During the reconstitution phase units

no longer involved in the MAGTF employment

mission will either redeploy or be 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 efffort.

MPSRONs being reconstituted and reconstitution asset locations, OCONUS execution may

occur in locations outside the AOR and include

CONUS efforts that could expand beyond

BICmd. When planning for reconstitution,

regeneration, and replenishment actions, the

MMC process must be fully integrated into the

overarching plan to ensure seamless attainment

of the P0. The RLST ensures this process transitions from intheater operations to the

CONUS; transition continues until all the MPS

are integrated into the MMC schedule and the

normal maintenance and hull certification

process is underway. A repositioning of prepositioned capabilities aboard MPS must also

support global operational requirements that

cross combatant commander AORs if more than

one MPSRON is used to support MAGTF operations ashore.

Stage I, OCONUS (In Theater)

The supported combatant commander will designate the Marine component commander in the

AOR to reconstitute the MPF. A SPMAGTF or

CSSD will perform the functions to reconstitute

the MPE/S to its pre-conflict status or a designated operational readiness status. During reconstitution, replenishment of assets from CONUS

occurs for those assets that MARCORLOGCOM

and NAVFACENGCOM can transport into the

AOR within the reconstitution time line. Assets

may also be available in theater.

The operational/redeployment time line, directed

by the supported combatant commander, will

ultimately determine the extent and duration of in

theater reconstitution.

Stage JI, CONUS (BICmd)

Phase II, Execution

Reconstitution occurs outside the CONUS

(OCONUS) and CONUS. Depending on force

protection, available infrastructure, number of

COMMARCORLOGCOM is designated by

I-1QMC as the executive agent to coordinate the

reconstitution of Navy and Marine Corps MPE/S

in the CONUS and support reconstitution requirements OCONUS. BICmd is designated as the
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 8-5

executive agent for MARCORLOGCOM for the

maintenance and readiness of MPE/S.

Fiscal, strategic air/sea lift, storage facilities,

labor, and equipment production are all variables

that will influence selecting reconstitution sites.

Past operations show that reconstitution in the

CONUS occurring at BICmd with depot-level

repairs occurring at Marine Corps Logistics Base,

Albany, GA and support from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is most effective.

SECTION III. THE ECG

The ECG is an O-6/GS-15 level group established with representatives from HQMC,

OPNAV, the operating forces, and the supporting establishments (Navy and Marine Corps), to

promulgate reconstitution planning guidance. The

ECG reports to the Marine Corps/Navy Requirement Board (MRB/NRB), as required, to update

Navy and Marine Corps leadership on all reconstitution efforts. Reconstitution planning guidance is promulgated to the MARFORINAVFORJ

NAVAIRSYSCOM to assist in planning and executing the reconstitution of the MPE/S aboard

MPSRONs. The ECG will be established by

HQMC (Deputy Commandant, Plans, Policies,

and Operations [DC, PP&O}) with OPNAV N75

(Expeditionary Warfare Division) to provide

oversight of the reconstitution planning process

and remain active during actual reconstitution

operations. ECG members (see fig. 8-2) will be

outlined in the next revision of Marine Corps

Order (MCO) P3000.1 7A, Maritime Prepositioning Force Planning and Policy Manual.

The ECG will establish an RLST to deploy to the

theater of operations to help the MARFOR coordinate and plan the MPS reconstitution. The RLST

will serve as a liaison to the Service headquarters

for any additional guidance. The ECG and RLST

will remain active throughout planning and execution until reconstitution is completed in theater and

transitions to the MMC. Planning will normally

begin in the CONUS and then Iransition to the theater of operations. The ECG will be established

when one or more of the following occurs:

• A Marine component commander requests

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.

RLST

The RLST is an O-5/GS-14-level and below

group, headed by a Colonel 0-6, consisting of

deployable members from the ECG and respective

groups in support of intheater reconstitution. It

focuses on areas that require strategic and operational level planning and coordination to ensure

the MPSRONs are reconstituted to their original.

P0 or designated readiness/attainment levels (see

fig. 8-3).

Purpose

Facilitate reconstitution by providing on-site

expertise in MPF policy, logistics chain, and total

life cycle management. The RLST will coordinate and recommend changes to policy and the

overarching equipment attainment and resource

plans based on the condition of the MPE/S postcombat operations/exercise.

Mission

On order the RLST will deploy to the AO to

serve as the HQMC representative to the

MARFOR during reconstitution (app. U provides a sample message for establishment and

deployment of the RLST). The RLST, in

direct support of the MAGTF responsible for

executing reconstitution, will advise and

assist the SPMAGTF/CSSD on all MPF program policy and requirements (see fig. 8-4).

Maritime Prepositloning Force OperatIons 8-17

MARFOR

SECTION IV. EXECUTION ORGANIZATIONS

AND FUNCTIONS

agricultural/customs inspections and the backload aboard the MPS.

A SPMAGTF or CSSD will usually be assigned

as the MARFOR's executive agent for reconstitution; the CMPF will coordinate Navy requirements. This responsibility is realized by

participation of the MPF MAGTF CSSE in planning, establishing the reconstitution site/CS SA,

and maintaining the MPE/S during the MPF

MAGTF's employment operation. The actual

reconstitution SPMAGTF/CSSD task-organizes

from personnel from units in theater, units not

deployed OT a combination of both. The scope of

the reconstitution efforts and personnel rotation/

redeployment plan will influence the unit/personnel makeup of the SPMAGTF/CSSD.

Note: The reconstitution CSSD, when assigned, should not be confused with the MPF

MAGTF CSSE as it focuses spec j/Ically on

reconstitution. The MPFMAGTF CSSE is

responsible for logistical support and redeployment of the MPFMAGTF.

Reconstitution LOl

Based on HQMC policy guidance and the priority

of the reconstitution effort, the MARFOR will

publish an operational-level LOl. The LOl should

outline available reconstitution areas, facilities,

time lines, subordinate unit task-organization,

general MPE/S turn-in guidance to operating

units, force protection and theater limitations.

HQMC guidance may include the redeployment,

deactivation, and reconstitution of all forces following a major operation.

Once the SPMAGTF/CSSD is assigned, it in turn

will publish a tactical-level LOl to task subordinate units and outline specific processes for

MPE/S: receipt, maintenance re-mobile loading,

containerization, movement, washdown, staging,

HNS

For speed and economy, make maximum use of

HNS and contracting. The quality and availability

of the HNS will depend on the nature of the operation, willingness of the HN to lend assistance,

and HN resources.

Staging Area

Selecting an efficient staging area will contribute

significantly to the overall effectiveness of the

reconstitution process. The following criteria

used by the SLRP to evaluate the AAA may be

used when choosing a reconstitution site:

• Staging area layout.

• MPS configuration.

• Security.

• Location.

• 1-INS availability.

• 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.

• Ammunition handling and storage requirements.

• Proximity to a suitable airstrip.

• Remote area requirement for AGSE.

• Availability of temporary shelter.

• Container yard requirements.
8-18 MCWP3-32

Safety

Factors that negatively affect safety during reconstitution in the AOR follow:

• Large amounts of equipment and ammunition

on hand.

• Unknown conditions of the equipment.

• Varying levels of skill among operators, technicians, and I-IN personnel.

• Limited supervisor knowledge of assigned subordinates' characters and expertise.

• Expeditionary conditions in the AOR.

• Time constraints.

When convened, the medical planning group promulgates safety precautions and conducts safety

training for personnel executing reconstitution.

General Risk Assessment and Management

Personal involvement and emphasis 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 know the principles of

activity risk assessment and management:

• 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.

• 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).

• 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.

Waste Management

Media attention and environmental oversight call

for corrective measures/actions to safeguard public health. 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, take the following steps:

• Declare any hazardous waste or HAZMAT

off-limits.

• Physically segregate or barricade questionable

material.

• Properly mark material using English and FIN

languages.

• Notify appropriate agencies or headquarters to

obtain assistance.

• Be certain to follow FIN laws if they are stricter

than military regulations.

HAZMATOfficer

The SPMAGTFICSSD should have a person

assigned and trained as a HAZMAT officer.

This officer, in concert with the establishing

authority's safety or medical personnel, should

plan for any HAZMAT contingencies that may

arise. Solutions to HAZMAT problems and its

disposal, though interim in nature, should realistically accommodate regulations of the HN. If

HN or international agencies cannot provide

prompt action to safeguard the health of US

forces and the general public's health, assistance

should be requested via the chain of command.

(See safety standards in Chief of Naval Operations Instruction 5100.1 9D, Navy Occupational

Safety and Health (NA VOSH) Program Manual

for Forces Afloat vols. I, II, and III.)

CMPF

The CMPF has OPCON of all MSC and USN

forces assigned to the reconstitution effort, except
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 8-19

those USN forces that are assigned to the

SPMAGTF/CSSD. CMPF will act as the senior

Navy representative and will be responsible to

ensure NSE, NMCB, and FH reconstitution

efforts comply with the overall plan. In addition

to Marine Corps units, the SPMAGTF/CSSD

commander may have OP CON of the NMCB

based on designated locations and overall structure/requirements. CMPF will have OPCON of

the NSE and the FH at the reconstitution site.

Responsibilities follow:

• Coordinate airlift of those OPCON NSE,

NMCB, and PH forces required for reconstitution with the SPMAGTF/CSSD commander.

• Coordinate the phased arrival of Navy forces in

support of reconstitution; ensure effective control measures are in place within the AOR to

maintain appropriate levels of accountability.

• Designate the SSO until intheater reconstitution completes.

• Coordinate termination of the reconstitution

with the SPMAGTF/CSSD commander.

• Ensure all Navy assets are returned to the

appropriate MPS as outlined in MPSRON's

spreadload plan.

Reconstitution SPMAGTF/CSSD

The reconstitution SPMAGTF/CSSD task-organizes to support those functions outlined in the

MARFOR reconstitution LOl. Not all functions will take place in theater due to possible

restrictions placed on the MARFOR component commander by the combatant commander.

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 for notional tables of organization and equipment [TO&Es]).

Responsibilities follow:

• Review MPSRON ship load planning considerations including applicable federal maritime

regulatory requirements and the requirements

for the dangerous cargo manifest.

• Assess the condition of equipment and supplies.

During initial reconstitution planning, the designated MARFOR (FSSG for training exercises) in

charge of planning and executing reconstitution

of the MPF will provide a SPMAGTF/CSSD

planning cell to support the ECG OPT. The lead

of this cell is MARFOR. Members include

SPMAGTF/CSSD planners, MARFOR/MEF,

NBG, and NCF representatives.

Cell objectives are to coordinate planning guidance

from COMMARFOR, the Navy fleet commander,

the combatant commander's staff, and with the

ECG OPT. During the execution phase, the

SPMAGTFICSSD will provide an LNO to the

RLST to coordinate resolution of issues as required.

Tasks:

• Develop in conjunction with the TAAT, an LOl

to provide detailed guidance on the processes

required to complete in theater reconstitution.

• Assist in developing a time line for reconstitution.

• Determine covered and open lot staging requirements (cubic feet [ft3]and square feet [&]).

• Determine warehouse space requirements for

storage of consumables.

• Determine TO&E of the SPMAGTFICSSD and

forward external MARFOR liaison requirements to the OPT.

• Determine logistical support requirements for

CSSEs; e.g., billeting, transportation, MHE,

work space/tents or maintenance facilities.

• Develop an equipment acceptance plan and an

LTI schedule to receive equipment from the

operating forces.

• Determine maintenance requirements.

• Determine liaison requirements at shipping and

receiving points.

• Coordinate with in theater expediters and establish communications plan.

• Identify Class IX (repair parts) and ancillary

equipment requirements.

• Determine LOCs.
8-20 MCWP 3-32

• Determine AIS and II plan.

• Attend planning conferences.

TAAT

The TAAT task-organizes from militaiy and civilian personnel assigned to MARCORLOGCOM

(BICmd). It provides the MARFOR and

SPMAGTF/CSSD with the technical assistance

and expertise to reconstitute the MPE/S. The

TAAT will be OPCON to the MARFOR and in

direct support of the reconstitution SPMAGTF/

CSSD upon arrival in theater. Responsibilities are:

• Advise and assist the MARFOR in equipment

preparation.

• Prepare documents for equipment accountability.

• Support the custodial transfer of equipment from

the SPMAGTF/CSSD to the MCMC and Class V

from the MAGTF to MARCORLOGCOM

(BICmd).

• Conduct acceptance LTIs of equipment from

the SPMAGTF/CSSD.

• Review record jackets and gun books for

completeness.

• Maintain accurate documentation of repair

parts on order for equipment loaded aboard the

MPS.

• Submit daily status reports to the ECG on

equipment acceptance statistics.

SECTION V. PLANNING GUIDANCE

Reconstitution planning guidance is published by

HQMC, in concert 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 combatant commander's staff.

Deferred Reconstitution

Following the MAGTF employment operation,

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 combatant commander with a copy to

HQMC. The CJCS will issue additional direction,

including possible partial reconstitution at an

interim maintenance site.

Prioritization

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 preparing supplies

must be established as soon as possible. This helps

ensure that items are ready to be loaded as required.

Prioritization remains the critical task until the last

MPS is loaded and reconstitution is completed.

HQMC Operations Division

The MPF P0 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 policies in

MCO P3000.l7A.
Maritime Prepositioning Force OperatIons 821

Goals

As a result of consumption, damage, and destruction of MPE/S, P0 attainment intheater will

likely be less than it would be if accomplished at

BICmd. With less than a full complement of the

P0, decisions affecting the global prepositioning

of the P0 should be made by the ECG. The

RLST, as the intheater representative for the

ECG, will coordinate global prepositioning'distribution of the P0 with affected operating forces,

supporting establishment, and Service headquarters. Examples of short and long-range goals are:

• Perform operational and intermediate maintenance on equipment before backload.

• Attain the P0 in Class V ammunition while in

theater.

• Attain the P0 for Class 111 supplies within

6 months of departure from the AOR.

Unit and Personnel Requirements

Supporting units and personnel will be designated in

the reconstitution LOl. Additional requirements will

be promulgated via separate messages. The

SPMAGTF/CSSD provides most personnel. Other

personnel in the AOR fall into four categories:

• Military personnel who participated in the

operation.

• Follow-on military personnel who did not participate in the operation.

• Civilian contractors.

• Other nonmilitary persons.

Personnel redeploy when they are no longer required

to reduce messing and billeting requirements.

Funding Availability and Requirements

Funding availability and requirements and fiscal

guidance and responsibility will vary substantially

depending on how MPE/S were employed by the

MAGTF. HQMC (P&R), NAVAIRSYSCOM,

NAVFACENGCOM, and the OPNAV resource

sponsors will provide fiscal guidance. The level of

equipment damage, amount of repairs, and amount

of supplies consumed by the operating forces will

influence the fiscal guidance and level of funding.

The following guidelines should be used when

developing reconstitution funding requirements:

• Within the AOR. Generally, the MARFORJ

NAVFOR assigned reconstitution responsibility will fund RN/in theater costs including (but

not limited to) repair parts, messing and billeting, port costs, wharves and dockage, and stevedore contracting requirements.

• In CONUS. When MPE/S require intensive

maintenance, reconstitution will be funded by

COMMARCORLOGCOM and accomplished at

BlCmd. NAVAIRSYSCOM will fund AGSE

requirements. NAVFACENGCOM will fund

NSE and NCF requirements.

Figure 8-6 on page 8-22 shows funding considerations and the organizations responsible for specific funding requirements.

• 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.

• Redeployment of operating forces unit MPE/S

per the P0.

HAZMAT

Care must be taken when loading HAZMAT

cargo. Provisions in the Department of Transportation's Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR)

and exemptions granted in accordance with Naval

Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren TR 91-630,

ESQD Arcs for Maritime Prepositioning Ships,

should be reviewed carefully. Any exemptions

granted provide relief only from the requirement

of the HMR specifically cited; all other requirements must be met. MPS masters will normally

have the HMR and applicable exemptions available for review.

Maintenance

Equipment preparation requirements in this paragraph are essential because there is no certainty

that an MPS will complete its MMC before

another commitment. For maximum operational

readiness, maintenance and reconstitution will be

accomplished in the AOR to the maximum extent

possible. The TAAT will provide 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 3/4 of a tank or 110 gallons,

whichever comes first; 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

Coordinationfor reconstitution of Navy equipment

and supplies should be accomplished by Navy cell

members with assistance from NAVFOR (AOR)

and in concert with the MARFOR (AOR) and the

SPMAGTF/CSSD. Timing is critical in the sense

that the backload of the MPS will not normally be

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 P0. 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.
8-24 MCWP 3-32

AGSE

Reconstitutionof AGSE will be 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 a NAVCHAPGRU (or other

designated organization) and individual MPS

crews per the ship's loading plan. NAVCHAPGRU will coordinate with members

of the SPMAGTF/CSSD to ensure proper load

distribution, weight, and ships' trim and stability

thresholds are maintained.

Containers

Containers become tempting objects for other

uses beside transportation and storage. Consequently, MPS container shortages could exist

during reconstitution. To ensure availability,

COMMARCORLOGCOM or Commander,

Naval Air Systems Command (for EAF containers) has been assigned ownership and

accountability of all MPF containers. Following arrival and assembly, all containers will be

staged in a secure area or, at the discretion of

COMMARFOR, staged on available MPS.

Note: Containers staged on an MPS may not

be available when needed fthe MPS is operating in the common user sealfl pool.

Staged containers may be used for alternate purposes on approval of COMMARCORLOGCOM.

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 per the approved load

plan with the assistance of TAAT and

NAVCHAPGRU. Ensure that containers required at

the earliest stages of the arrival and assembly phase

are readily accessible when needed. iF 4-01.7, JTI7'P

for use of Intermodal Containers in Joint Operations, provides additional information.

Force Protection

The combatant commander is overall responsible for security but will normally delegate this

to the MARFOR (AOR) during reconstitution.

NAVFOR is responsible for internal security of

living quarters, workspaces, staging areas, and

loading areas. Assigning additional security

responsibilities to NAVFOR may detract from

efficient reconstitution functioning.

Simultaneous requirements for security at numerous locations (APOE, a SPOE, washdown sites, and

staging areas) will exceed the capabilities of naval

personnel and require coordination with external

agencies. Security forces, other than internal security forces defined in the reconstitution TIO, will be

provided from all available sources as directed by

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 completing the MPF MAGTFs 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. Consider the following:

• Antiterrorist measures.

• Shipboard internal security.

• Security at the APOE, SPOE, staging area, and

remote sites.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations

SECTION VI. WASHDOWN AND INSPECTIONS

8-25

Before the backload, all MPE/S must be washed

and inspected if the offload occurred outside of

the US. Inspections include a US Customs/USDA

post washdown inspection and a USCG hull certification inspection. These require a substantial

amount of planning, personnel, and coordination.

Coordination and liaison may be required

between Services, agencies, units, and the HN.

Reconstitution can become very difficult if the

washdown and inspections are not properly

planned or properly executed.

• Use only fresh water for cleaning vehicles and

supplies.

NAVFOR will provide the inspection team (one

military entomologist and two preventive medicine

technicians) for a MEU-size washdown or at least

double the requirement for an entitre MPSRON.

Site Criteria

Developing the Washdown LOl

The MARFOR will develop a comprehensive plan

for the washdown. A corresponding LOl published

by the SPMAGTF/CSSD details the process. The

following planning guidance is provided to assist

the MARFOR and the SPMAGTF/CSSD:

• 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 HN agreements for adequate fresh

water washdown facilities at the desired washdown site.

• Designate the washdown OIC of the

SPMAGTF/CSSD.

• Execute washdown operations and provide

technical advice.

• Follow inspection and cleaning procedures

outlined in applicable regulations such as

DODR 4500.9-R, Part V, DOD Customs and

Border Clearance Policies and Procedures.

• Ensure required washdown equipment and personnel are available.

• Provide support to the senior agricultural

inspector.

• Ensure that MPSRON (based on the ability of

the ship's system to generate fresh water) provides water for the washdown.

To properly execute a washdown, the chosen site

must have thousands of& of hardstand. Hardstand

is 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 the areas associated with actual washing of

vehicles, the areas for vehicles and equipment

awaiting backload, and all roads in between. The

amount of hardstand needed will vary with the

number of vehicles and time available.

The actual washdown area should have at least

approximately 130 ft on either end of the

washrack assembly and 50 ft on either side.

The mobile load cleaning and staging area should

be at least 80 ft wide and 330 ft long.

The size needed for clean vehicle staging depends

on how soon the bacldoad can begin. If vehicle and

cargo decks onboard ship must be cleaned before

backload can proceed, a staging area that can hold

about 250 vehicles (total includes prime movers and

towed. loads) will be needed. Do not let vehicles

become recontaminated during backload.

Approximately 250,000 gallons of water are needed

for a MEU size force with 300 wheeled vehicles

(total includes prime movers and towed loads). Water

pressure should be checked to ensure that 2-1/2 in

fire hoses can operate at a minimum recommended

pressure of 90 pounds per square inch (psi).
8-26 MCWP 3-32

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.

Selecting Washracks

The design and number of washracks will largely

determine the speed the washdown operation can

be conducted. The number of washracks will

depend on time available. The washdown operation proceeds at an average rate of one vehicle

per individual washrack per hour of daylight. The

washdown site should have a minimum of 20

wheeled vehicle and 10 tracked-vehicle washracks per MPSRON. This number could double

when reconstituting two or more MPSRONs and

redeploying organizational equipment.

If washracks are not available, they can be manufactured from steel "I" beams. Two "I" beams (20

to 25 ft long with one end elevated 12 ft) should

be spaced apart no more than 5 ft and no less than

4 1/2 ft, 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 support a total

load of 45,000 lbs. Locally-manufactured

washracks must be weight-tested and certzjIed

before use.

Cleaning and Inspection Procedures

The cleaning and inspection program intheater

does not prevent a USDA inspection upon return

to CONUS. However, it does contribute significantly in minimizing delays at the port of entry.

Adhere to guidelines set forth in applicable publications for inspections standards. The following

washdown procedures apply:

• Conduct a backload/washdown conference for the

COMNAVFOR, COMMARFOR, SPMAGTF/

CSSD, 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.

• 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.

• Upon final inspection, reload material from

mobile loads aboard clean vehicles and back

load the clean vehicles and supplies.

Preparing Vehicles for USDA Inspection

• Sweep and/or 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.

• Remove the outside dual wheels and spare tires

and place them in the back for later cleaning at

the washrack.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 8-27

• Remove all padlocks, seat cushions, detachable

sideboards, canvas sides/tops, and any personal

gear brought ashore; leave them at the mobile

load staging area.

• Hand-pick or sweep grass or vegetation from

the radiator.

• Let down the sides of all trucks that have

drop sides.

• At the washrack, spray vehicles down using

high-pressure (minimum 90 psi) fresh water

or steam. Pay attention to undercarriages,

fender wells, bumpers, wheels, and recessed

areas. Inspect each vehicle thoroughly. Steam

may remove valuable protective coatings.

• For tracked vehicles, remove all soil from

treads, around rubber cleats, in-tread connectors,

between and behind tread guides and roller supports, and all other spaces. Ensure treads are not

recontaminated before bacidoading.

• 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.

• For Class V pallets and crates, avoid water

cleaning; use compressed air as much as

possible.

CHAPTER 9

MMC

MPF interoperability is the ability of a MEB or

other sized MAGTF sourced from MARFORLANT

or MARFORPAC to conduct MPFoperations with

any of the associated NSEs and MPSs from any of

the three MPSRONs. Interoperability is enhanced

through commonality in the following:

• MPF operational and logistics planning.

• Ship load plans and AIS documentation.

• Training.

• Through close association with NSE planners

and MPSRON staffs. Interoperability is

achieved when ships are loaded and documented

with as-loaded ships' deck diagrams and the

multiple plans and reports described below.

The MPF program sponsor (HQMC POE) 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.

The MPF Program Review Conference is a sounding board for policy issues before they are forwarded to the prepositioning oversight working

group (POWG). POWG issues are brought to the

attention of the Navy Requirement Board (NRB)

and/or Marine Corps Requirement Board (MRB)

for possible consideration by HQMC functional

advocates and the Navy and HQMC Requirements Oversight Councils. The Councils resolve

or develop recommendations for the CNO and the

CMC to guide decisions on Service-level MPF policy and management matters.

MPF Tailoring Process

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 MFF.

The tailoring process begins when proposed

changes or additions to MEB structure and/or

capabilities result in desired changes within the

MEB T/E. Recommendations from the forces

may include increases in MPE/S. Before changes

can occur in the P0, a space assessment or maintenance requirements review should be conducted

to determine if the MEF's desire to add equipment to the P0 is feasible. Equipment obsolescence may drive changes. It is through the

tailoring conference these issues are discussed

and agreed upon.

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.

For the above reasons, it is imperative that PMs

become familiar with the tailoring process to

ensure 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 P0, 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 logistics 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:

• HQMC (CODE LPO): meals, ready to eat

(MREs).

• MCCDC: PEIs.

The goal of the MPF tailoring process is to provide

a P0 that supports MPF MEB requirements within
9-2 MCWP3-32

• MARCORLOOCOM: packaged POL for ground

equipment, personal demand items, personal

equipment, medical supplies, and repair parts.

• MARCORSYSCOM: ground ammunition.

• NAVAIRSYSCOM and HQMC (DC, Aviation):

POL for aviation, Class V(A), aviation support

equipment, and AGSE.

Dry Dock Requirement

The length of the MMC has been extended to

36 months vice the previous 30-month requirement, due to the addition of the MPF(E) ships.

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46,

Shipping, mandates that each vessel must go

into dry dock every 5 years for a hull inspection. CFR Title 46 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 if required, inventoried, calibrated, maintained, and modernized. Shelf life stocks are

rotated if necessary.

The following three command categories identify the numerous organizations that have an

impact on MMC. Extensive coordination and

communication among all interested parties is

essential for successful operations.

Supported Commands

• Geographic unified commands.

• Pacific Fleet.

• Atlantic Fleet.

• MARFORPAC.

• MARFORLANT.

Supporting Commands

• MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) (Executive Agent).

Other Commands and Activities

• OPNAV.

• HQMC.

• MARCORSYSCOM.

• I, II and III MEF.

• NAVAIRSYSCOM.

• NAVFACENGCOM.

• Naval safety center.

Most MMC activities are undertaken at BICmd in

Jacksonville, FL with the exception of ammunition, bulk fuels, and some of the depot maintenance required for certain assets. Dry dock ship

hull certifications, when required, are performed at

a port contracted by the ship's operating company.

Key Coordination Commands and Activities

Many commands are involved in MMC operations. Operations can be joint, multiservice or

single Service. The goal of MMC is to ensure the

operability of the MPS and the embarked MPE/S.

• MSC.

• MPSRONs.

• USCG Captain of the Port, Marine Safety

Office, Jacksonville, FL.

• SDDC, Eastern Area, Bayonne, NJ.

• Personnel Support Activity, Jacksonville, FL.

• DESC.

• Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group Two.

• Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, FL.

• Healthcare Support Office, Jacksonville, FL.

• NBG.

• NAVCHAPGRU.

Figure 9-1. MPEIS Time Line (in Months).

Acquisition Phase

Activities conducted during the acquisition phase

are programming and budgeting, procurement,

delivery of end items, and issuing initial provisioning packages. This phase is normally 12 to 60

months in duration, depending on the procurement lead times for certain items.

Any command may initiate a universal needs

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

MARFORs. MCCDC will staff the UNS to the

appropriate HQMC advocates upon receipt from

the MARFORs. If a nonmateriel solution is warranted, action will be assigned to the appropriate

MCCDC organization; e.g., Training Command

or EFDC division. If a materiel solution is warranted, an initial capabilities document will be

modified or drafted. All requirements documents

are staffed to the HQMC Marine Requirements

Oversight Council for validation.

Finally, the item is loaded to the Total Force Structure Management System to the appropriate

MPSRON TO&E by MCCDC. MARCORSYSCOM will subsequently publish a letter of adoption

and procurement or a user's logistics support summary for fielding the new item. Key questions asked

before an item is acquired follow:

• Is this item going to be placed on MPSs? Look

at the appropriate MPSRON TO&E to see if it is

being proposed for inclusion into the P0 and

NAVMC 2907.

• Is this a new item? If so, does anything need to

be dropped from the EIL? If yes, what has to

come off the MPS or E/L to accommodate this

new item due to ft2, ft3, 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?

• Are there any 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.

These are only a small sample of 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. See

NAVMC 2907 for specific procedures.

SupplyPhase

This phase begins immediately upon the delivery of PEIs and supplies made to a specific government activity. Items are entered into various

AIS to manage maintenance, embarkation, and

accounting actions. Inventory activities that

manage shelf life expiration dates are undertaken in this phase; stock rotation is considered.

Due to the MMC being extended to 36 months,

shelf life criteria had to be modified. "Type I"

(nonextendable) shelf life items have a shelf life

code of "Q" (36 months shelf life), where at

least 30 of the 36 months must be remaining at

the time the MPS sails. "Type II" (extendable)

shelf life items have a code of "6" (24 month

shelf life), where at least 18 of the 24 months

must be remaining at the time of sail, unless otherwise authorized by the MEF.

When the MPS onload completes, BICmd will

provide the MEF with a list of PEIs and stock

list 3 (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

concurrent with the MMC activities conducted

before the afloat phase.

MMC Phase

The MMC phase takes approximately 18 months,

which includes the MEF's planning efforts.

Actual ship offload and backload takes about 2

months. During the MMC phase, the applicable

MEF commander may assign a liaison team to

BICmd. 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.

Note: The MPF MEU E/L is also called the

MEU slice since it is a subset or a smaller

portion of the MPF MEB E/L.

Afloat Phase

The afloat phase begins at the completion of the

ship's backload. Scheduled and nonscheduled

shipboard maintenance is conducted by the maintenance contractor. MEF level exercises are periodically conducted in support of the JS 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, couldn't normally be conducted.

MMC Planning Documents

BICmd combines MEF guidance, the published

MEB T/E, and NAVMC 2907 designated for that

MPSRON to create plans.

MPSRON Spreadload Plan (by Ship)

The MPSRON spreadload plan ensures to the

maximum extent possible that PEIs are embarked

in accordance with MCO P3000.1 7A. End items

normally cannot be stowed on a ship to increase

their priority in the MPSRON offload sequence

unless this asset provides a capability that is

essential to the forces, it was loaded in error during a previous cycle or the unload sequence of

the ships is changed. This is especially true for

stores account code one (SAC 1) assets funded by

BICmd.

MSE Plan

The MSE plan assigns PEIs to a specific MSE;

e.g., GCE or ACE. This allocation of assets is

determined by requirements stated in the published MEB TIE and complies with the quantities

listed in NAVMC 2907.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 95

Master 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

Before an MMC, the MEF commanderis 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 current POs 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 MSEs PEI

allocations. Sets are normally located on the

weather decks for rapid access in a contingency.

Container Plan

The container plan provides each MSE 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.

Mobile Load Plan

The mobile load plan identifies the MPE/S that

are to be loaded on vehicles and trailers. The

mobile load will, to the greatest extent possible,

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 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 the CAEMS.

These systems function to provide a database

and two dimensional deck diagrams. ICODES is

the DOD standard system that will replace

CAEMS. It will combine linked-data libraries

and artificial intelligence to develop loads considering HAZMAT; information affecting cargo

placement (height, ship's TSS); and cargo and

equipment accessibility.

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

The armory plan consists of all items to be loaded

into the armory for security reasons. This

includes all weapons organic to tanks, LAVs,

AAVs, and pilferable items such as data scopes

and binoculars. The armory association plan provides a list of the weapons systems and their

associated weapons with the quantity to be

loaded.

Battery Plan

The battery plan shows the breakout by ship of

the battery core block listed in NAVMC 2907.

Ammunition (Class V) Plan

The ammunition (Class V) plan is coordinated by

the MARFOR, MARCORSYSCOM, and
9-6 MCWP 3-32

NAVAIRSYSCOM. It is not currently provided

to BICmd and is not a part of the prepositioned

planning module currently in use to build plans.

POL (Class Ill) Plan

The POL (Class III) plan shows the breakout by

ship of the packaged POL block listed in

NAVMC 2907.

MRE (Class I) Plan

The MRE plan shows the quantity of MREs and

the required containers to be loaded on each MPS.

Repair Part (Class IX) Plan

Repair parts for prepositioned and FIE assets are

loaded on only the primary and alternate flagships.

SL-3 TAMCN Plan

In accordance with MCO P4400.150 series, NAVMAC 2907 captures SL-3 items listed under

"Using Unit Responsibility" assigned a TAMCN

and included on a unit's T/E. The SL-3 plan was

developed to ensure these TAMCN controlled SL3 items are loaded with the proper PEI.

Communications and Information Systems and

OPP Plans

The communications and information systems

(CIS) plan lists those items the shipboard MCMC

feels is necessary to maintain prepositioned

equipment while afloat. The OPP lists those items

prepositioned aboard each of the vessels in support of the OPP and debarkation teams when preparing for an offload.

End of Ship and End of MMC Reports

At the end of each ship's cycle, all data for the

load out on that MPS is turned over to the RAC

team and liaison team's OIC and forwarded to the

MEFs for dissemination to their MSEs. Reports

are maintained by BICmd, MARFORPAC,

MARFORLANT, all three MEFs, and their

MSEs. Reports follow:

• Unit equipment report. This report identifies

any deficiencies from the P0 that should be

included in the FIE. Subjects follow:

• Class II, Clothing, Individual Equipment,

Tools, and Administrative Supplies.

• Class III, Packaged POL.

• Class IV, Construction Materials Core

Block.

• Class VII, Major PEIs.

• Class VIII, Medical Materials Attainment.

• Calibration report.

• SL-3 shortage report (includes sets, kits, and

chest).

• Theater Army medical management and information system (TAMMIS) report. TAMMIS

provides data pertaining to medical (Class VIII)

supplies. TAMMIS replaces the medical logistics United States Air Force (USAF) AIS system and does not interface with MDSS II.

TAMMIS will be replaced in the future by

defense medical logistics support systems,

which will interface with the Transportation

Coordinator's Automated Information for

Movement System (TC-AIMS), the replacement for MDSS II.

• Repair parts and secondary reparables

(SECREPs) (Class IX) attainment report.

Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 9-7

• MDSS II data report.

• CAEMS data report. This system can produce

loaded deck diagrams for analysis during contingency planning.

• NSE attainment report.

• AGSE report.

• Modifications and publications report.

RAC Team

USMC TM 4790-1412C, Logistics Support for

MPS Program Maintenance and Materiel Management, provides the establishment of the RAC

team. The RAC team is made up of representatives

of the MEF who will be 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 and

supply personnel. The RAC will operate in coordination with the QA effort to ensure the time-constrained maintenance cycle is not hindered. It also

provides additional guidance as decisions on the

load out of ships are made.

Command Relationships

The RAC team is OPCON to their parent MEF

commander and is ADCON to BICmd during

the MMC.

Surveillance

During a ships 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.

RAC Team LOl

Each MEF publishes a RAC LOl that covers

operations, administration, and logistics of the

RAC team. This LOl may include the following:

• Composition and staffing of the RAC team.

• TAD order writing authority.

• Leave and liberty procedures.

• Disbursing support.

• Casualty reports.

• Postal instructions.

• Clothing and equipment.

• Legal administration.

• Individual responsibilities.

• Other matters the MEF commander deems

necessary.

Operational Planning

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.

PredeploymentTraining

Predeployment training of RAC teams is essential

since the availability of time after arrival at

BICmd is minimal. Training will encompass

maintenance recovery teams, commodity desktop procedures, quality inspection reports, review

of current Marine Corps directives as they relate

to the MMC and RAC teams operations, and

forms used by BICmd's QA personnel.

RAC Team Responsibilities

• Determine the last publications review conducted

by MCMC personnel on publications used in the

maintenance effort. This is required to ensure a

current publications status and applicability.

• 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.

• Ensure that each of the RAC team commodity

areas are provided the most current modifications instructions from their parent command

before arrival at BICmd.

• Review all PEI record jackets for completeness

before acceptance.
9-8 MCWP 3-32

• Review all applicable TMs, instructions (modification and technical), and safety alerts to ensure

the publication is still current and being applied

or adhered to as applicable.

• Review the modification control records for all

PEIs to ensure that required modifications have

been applied and recorded.

• 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. All changes will be

brought to the attention of the OIC.

Any changes to the P0 will be brought to the

immediate attention of the RAC team OIC,

must be approved by CMC (Code LPO), and

accompanied by a letter of approval. This

authorization will be maintained in files and

brought back to the MEF upon completion of

the MMC.

A general pattern or load plan template has

evolved to facilitate the arrival and assembly

operations intheater, and provide efficiencies to

minimize the time required for force standup

and throughput. However, it depends on the

class of the MPS. (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 the following

in developing load plans and assessing the operational impact during execution.

LCM-8 and Lighterage (Barge

Ferries/Causeway Sections)

LCM-8s and lighterage are placed in the water on

Navy-day (0-1). LCM-8s serve as safety boats for

lighterage being offloaded and assembled in the

water. Therefore, the OPP must ensure the ship's

offload systems; i.e., ramps, cranes, and lighterage

are functional before Navy-day. LCM-8s also

serve as waterborne ambulances and passenger

transfer vessels. Lighterage is essential for the STS

movement; i.e., sea transportation and throughput

of MPE/S.

LARC and AAVs

MPS Loadrng

MCO P3000.17A policy is to load MPSs allowing for effective use of space and a load that supports employment and interoperability. (This

differs significantly from embarking amphibious

shipping to support forcible entry operations.)

MPSs are loaded for arrival and assembly operations while remaining cognizant of potential

threats (criminal acts, terrorism, and 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 height,

weight, and TSS considerations.

On 0-day, the lighter(s), amphibious resupply

cargo (LARCs) are first off the stern ramp.

LARCs are safety vessels for the AAVs as they

splash into the water and are STS guide boats for

an instream offload. Early offload of LARCs and

AAVs on 0-day permits the debarkation team to

move equipment throughout the vessel for easy

access and rapid offload. LARCs are important

for beach salvage operations in the surf zone and

can be used as tow vehicles on the beach. This is

important when the beach size is limited in width

and depth.

RTCHs

RTCHs are critical to the handling of containers.

Some of the first containers to be handled will be
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 9-9

for the NSE or capability/habitability sets.

RTCHs are the most critical throughput item in

the E/L after the lighterage. Accordingly, they are

typically positioned in two general locations:

• Near the stern ramp so they are the next item offloaded after the LARCs and AAVs (RO/RO

operations).

• Under the best available hatch square after lighterage is removed (LO/LO operations).

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 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

instream operations will be less than for a pier

side offload. Regardless of the number of RTCHs

assigned per ship, the embarkation of each RTCH

must support LO/LO and RO/RO operations,

with emphasis toward an instream (LO/LO) offload. This loading technique ensures maximum

flexibility for employment of this vital asset and

is consistent with the amount of containers that

can be transferred ashore.

NSE

The NSE is the recipient of MPE/S through two

critical nodes in the overall throughput plan: the

beach (instream offload) and port (pier side operation). These nodes must be operating 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

standup within the first 24 to 48 hours of arrival

and assembly operations. High offload priority

PETs for the NSE will be 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

follow:

• NSE's 6K forklift to manipulate the five fingers on then barges ferry's beach end.

• NSE's D7G bulldozer to prepare the beach and

push the barge ferry out to sea.

• USMC's RICH to handle the first series of

barge ferries that transport the containerized

capability and habitability sets.

Ground Transportation and

Throughput Equipment

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 of

all the "B" (engineer) and "D" (motor transportation) TAMCNs. Once the offload is almost

complete, control of these different TAMCNs

will revert to the MSEs to which they are

assigned (GCE or ACE). Centralized management of these assets must be planned. Throughput matrices will assist MPF planners to

determine the best stowage location of each

PEI; e.g., critical ground nodes that may require

significant earthmoving capability are roads,

COT lots, ammunition supply points (ASPs),

fuel farms, and water storage facilities.

MPF MEU Slice Equipment List

The MPF MEU slice is loaded on the primary and

alternative flagship due to these ships' C3 capabilities. The MEU slice footprint 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
9-10 MCWP 3-32

slice E/L. 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 concept of

operations. 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 MEF commander can influence the MPS

load plans through the aôtive 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). Examples are armored reconnaissance, FW attack, heavy armor, RW attack, and

counter battery fires. Historically, the PEIs that

support these priorities are the LAy, F/A- 18

Hornet or AV-8A Harrier, M1A1 tank, AH-I

Cobra, and the Ml 98 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; e.g., a

heavy armor capability requires, at a minimum,

the following:

• M1A1 tanks.

• Fuel trucks.

• 5-ton trucks to haul ammunition and supplies.

• 120mm and .50caliber ammunition.

• M2 .50 calibermachine guns from the armory.

• Radios.

• Crews.

The actual MPS load configuration may help or

hinder the development of this capability. The

AMSEA class ships allow rapid offload of the

majority of M1A1 tanks, whereas, the Waterman

class ships limit the initial offload of Ml Al tanks

to the MPF MEU slice (4 tanks).

The key planning consideration is that all of the

warfighting components must be accessible

within the first few days. If FW and RW 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 (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 USMC debarkation

officer to determine the critical path of MPE/S

for offload.

The MEF commander selects these warfighting

priorities based on current OPLANs for an MTW

and CONPLANS for SSCs. 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 a military operation other

than war (MOOTW) mission. However, those

general MOOTW mission requirements can be

satisfied with the flexible capabilities inherent in

the throughput equipment, capability/habitability

sets, and MREs. MPS embarkation plans must

support the worst-case scenario rather than the

most probable scenario. MOOTW requirements

should not detract from the overall embarkation

plan to support the concept for which the MPF

MAGTF and MPF MEU were designed.

The remainder of the MPE/S is loaded to ensure

the safe operation of the vessel (see p. 9-11 for a

detailed discussion on TSS).

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. Colorcodes follow:
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 9-11

• MEU slice—black.

• Navy—blue.

• Aviation—magenta.

• Non-MEU slice items—green.

• Ammunition, HAZMAT, and parent vehicles

that contain HAZMAT—red.

• MAGTF warfighting priorities and offload priorities—yellow.

• Transportation and throughput items—turquoise. The critical path for the offload of equipment and containers can be determined by

considering the MPE/S that best supports 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.

MAGTF Operational Standup Time

Force standup— the most critical issue facing

MAGTF commanders—can be optimized by following the above loading criteria during MrvIC and

OCONUS reconstitution and ensuring that rapid

and responsible accountability and communications systems are planned for in the AAA. MDSS

II must be fully employed and is best supported by

a communications architecture with wireless data

transmission capabilities. This 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.

Improving Force Closure Times

The principal means to improving force closure

times is the positioning or movement of 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 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 intheater 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.

Spreadload Concept

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 will ensure that if

one ship has a maintenance casualty or was

damaged or destroyed, the MPF could continue

its mission. Several exceptions to this general

rule follow:

• The MEU slice is loaded only on the primary

and alternate flagships.

• Limited quantities of PEIs. Certain PEIs have

small quantities, at times no more than one or

two. These items will be stowed in percentages

exceeding 33 percent.

• The FH can only be broken up into two components and the core component (surgical

suite) is essential to both.

• The EAF will be loaded on three vessels (there

is no operational imperative for rapid offload

and EAF assembly). The key to the EAF's setup

is stabilizing the soil, done by the NMCB. This

may take up to 3 weeks to complete. The

NMCB supports the construction of the FH and

the EAF. The three NMCB modules planned to

be spreadloaded aboard three vessels are: Core

Module, Basic Module, and Heavy Module.

• 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 (FMs).
9-12 MCWP 3-32

TSS Load Lines

TSS considerations ensure the ship can operate

safely underway or at anchor within the parameters of its operational design.

In 1994, the configuration of M1A1 tanks and

bulk liquid loads; i.e., JP-5, fuel, bunkers and

water placed excessive stress on Frame 58 of the

SS Obregon. As a solution, the Commander, US

Atlantic Command; HQMC; CNO; Commander,

Atlantic Fleet; COMMARFORLANT; and CG II

MEF agreed with the Waterman Steamship Company's recommendation to remove 10,000 gallons of JP-5 fuel from the ship. This ensured that

the SS Obregon was safe to operate under all

possible conditions. While underway and consuming bunker fuel, the ship managed the bulk

liquids and levels of the ship's ballast tanks to

maintain TSS.

TSS 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 Motor Vessel (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 low

in the water relative to the bow and the stern.

Hogging and sagging place excess stress on the

structure of the MPS and should be avoided.

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' mandate 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 vessels 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 US has

adopted the International Maritime Organization

1966 Load Lines Convention and subsequent

amendments thereto, 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.
Maritime Prepositloning Force Operations 9-13

Enforcement

Enforcement of load line regulations has been

assigned to the USCG. 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 vessel. 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 vessel 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

Fuel Capability Set

Each set is comprised of containers loaded with

one amphibious assault bulk fuel system (AABFS)

for the CSSE; one tactical airfield fuel dispensing

system (TAFDS) for the ACE; two helicopter

expeditionary refueling systems for the ACE; and

fourteen expeditionary refueling systems for the

CSSE.

Electrical Distribution Capability Set

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.

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 personnel. The

maximum capability supports 4,000. For an MPF

MEB, additional equipment will have to be offloaded before the reception to support a feeding

volume of over 18,000 Marines and Sailors.

HabitabilitySet

Each set provides basic protection from the elements. Each container (module) has equipment

and supplies to outfit 80 Marines. The MARFORs/

MEFs designate the number of modules for each

MSE.

Medical Capability Set

Each set provides surgical capability and patient holding for a minimum of 20 casualties. The

medical block consists of AMALs 631, 632, 635,

636, 639, and 640.

Security Capability Set

Each set provides the GCE commander with a

capability to deter pilferage and terrorist activity.

Each set contains tentage, communications, and

engineer assets.

Water Capability Set

Each set consists of two reverse osmosis water purification units (ROWPUs) and four 20,000-gallon

collapsible water storage tanks. The ROWPU can

generate 600 gallons of fresh water per hour; the

total stowage capacity per set is 80,000 gallons.

Each container will be designated for the CSSE.

Chemical support required for ROWPU operations

includes calcium high test hypochiorite (HTH),

which must be included in the FIE due to its hazardous nature. HTH cannot be stored on the MPS.

NAVCHAPGRU Capability Set

Each set contains slings and other materials to

conduct LO/LO operations.
9-14 MCWP 3-32

NBG Capability Set

Each set provides the materials to function as an

AAOE and provide camp support.

Ammunition Load Planning

Compatibility

Ammunition must be segregated and loaded by its

hazardous classification; e.g., 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 PEIs

Fueled PEIs cannot be stowed in the same space

as ammunition. They must be separated by watertight hatches and doors; e.g., on AMSEA class

ships, the number three hold can contain rolling

stock and containers. If ammunition containers

were placed in hold three, this would have a

severe operational impact on ft2 stowage.

Weather Deck Stowage

Ammunition is not normally stored on the weather

decks due to its susceptibility to damage from the

environment. It is stored in the environmentallycontrolled holds below the weather decks.

Deck Strength

Ammunition container loaded weight is limited to

45,000 lbs. When half-high containers were

obtained to store ammunition, the standard 8 by 8

by 20-ft International Organization for Standardization container space could now accommodate

90,000 lbs. 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-ft containers.

TSS

The heavy weight of ammunition calls for it to be

stowed in the bottom-most holds or stowage locations of the MPS.

MPF MEU Slice Ammunition

Designated ammunition types are identified in prescribed loads to support MEU slice equipment.

Container stowage configurations of each class of

ship will drive determining the best method of

ammunition stowage. For Waterman class ships

(SS Obregon), prescribed load containers are

stowed in one stack below the weather decks. For

AMSEA class ships (MV Bobo), the eight containers are located on Tier 8, Hold 2 (the first tier under

the weather decks). Although the stowage location

differs based on the class of ship, the eight MEU

slice ammunition containers can be offloaded

immediately after capability and habitability sets.
CHAPTER 10

FORCE PROTECTION

Force protection is actions taken to prevent or

mitigate hostile actions against Department of

Defense personnel (to include family members),

resources, facilities, and critical information.

These actions conserve the force's fighting potential so it can be applied at the decisive time and

place and incorporate the coordinated and synchronized offensive and defensive measures to

enable the effective employment of the joint

force while degrading opportunities for the

enemy. Force protection does not include actions

to defeat the enemy or protect against accidents,

weather, or disease. (JP 1-02)

Since MPF operations are conducted in secure

areas, the potential threat possibilities may be

even more varied and challenging than in a hostile environment where military force is in use.

The MPF operating environment must be secure

enough to allow for the operation and staging of

USTRANSCOM's strategic lift assets.

Effective force protection revolves around the

successful coordination and execution of situational awareness, C2, seaward security

response, landward security response, and an

air security response. The goal of security

response is to provide the appropriate level of

force to counter the threat at hand while

remaining alert to the possibility of other simultaneous attacks. Sea-, land-, and air-based

assets may each be called upon to respond to

threats; e.g., pier sentries may engage close-in

small craft; security boats may engage targets

ashore. Response plans and C2 systems should

be able to provide maximum tactical flexibility

to force protection decisionmakers.

Concept

commander. MPF is most vulnerable during the

movement phase and is least vulnerable upon

completion of the MAGTF's force standup.

Surface escorts, augmented by air surveillance

assets, are assigned force protection responsibilities

for MPSs during the transit from the marshalling

points to the AAA. After the MPSs CHOP to

CMPF, CMPF is responsible for MPS protection.

The MPF force protection concept is to deploy

and employ force protection assets to deter,

detect, and engage attackers to mitigate the

effects of attacks that do occur.

Deterrence

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.

Detection

MPF force protection assets detect possible

attacks with an interlocking 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.

Engagement

MPF force protection assets engage attackers

with a layered, distributed set of sea-, land-, and

air-based platforms. MPF assets require welltrained watch standers, robust communications,

and well-developed ROE for best effectiveness

with minimal risk of fratricide.

Force protection in the AO during MPF operations

is a command responsibility of the combatant
10-2 MCWP3-32

Mitigation

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.

Situational Awareness

A detailed awareness of the complete tactical situation and intheater threats is required for the

combatant commander and the subordinate force

protection commanders to counter threats to MPF

operations. Situational awareness includes the

ability to detect, classify, identify, integrate/fuse,

evaluate, and report all surface, subsurface, air,

and land contacts inside and outside the AAA

battlespace. Situational awareness is a result of

well-coordinated C2. Contacts may be tracked,

evaluated and reported by a variety of organic

and nonorganic sensors in a distributed C2 architecture that is responsive to the establishing

authority's needs.

The goal of situational awareness is a shared perception of the battlespace by the combatant commander, the MAGTF commander, the CMPF,

and their subordinate force protection elements.

A shared perception facilitates decisionmaking

since commanders who have nearly identical situational awareness can collaboratively determine

timely COAs. Maintaining situational awareness

for planning and during operations is vital. For

continuous situational awareness, a close relationship must develop between units/personnel

that provide force protection security, and units/

personnel that provide intelligence support.

an air security officer (ASO), and their subordinate security response forces. TACON of interdiction and response assets is normally delegated

to the SSO, LSO, and ASO to facilitate rapid

response to potential threats. The combatant commander's decisionmaking process is enhanced

through a shared perception of the battlespace by

subordinates and reliable secure communications

with force protection commanders and their security elements.

C2 Assets

The primary C2 assets available to the combatant

commander and his subordinate force protection

commanders/CMPF are described below. These

assets are used to direct and coordinate surveillance activities and security responses.

ConnectivityAssets

The establishing authority's C2 connectivity

assets will normally be task-organized from the

parent organization from which the establishing

authority originates.

R-MAST

TheR-MAST is the CMPF's command, control,

communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) hub. It is

sourced from the NCW's HDCU. Primary capabilities follow:

• A tactical C2 system; i.e., joint maritime command information system (JMCIS).

• A tactical intelligence system; i.e., joint deployable intelligence support system (JDISS).

• Tactical and long haul voice and data communications systems; i.e., ultrahigh frequency (UHF),

very high frequency (VHF), high frequency (HF),

and super-high frequency (SHF).

C2

The combatant commander executes C2 through

a dedicated force protection organization headed

by the FPO, that includes an SSO, an LSO, and

JMCIS provides a common tactical display and

the means to coordinate actions with other

JMCIS-equipped forces, as well as the NCC.

JDISS provides a demand-pull intelligence support capability to facilitate queuing tactical surveillance sensors to potential threats approaching
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 10-3

the AAA, and to support planning for follow-on

CMPF missions. The communications suite

includes tactical secure voice and data capabilities for controlling force protection assets, record

message processing systems; e.g., Naval Modular Automated Communications System II and an

SHF satellite communications (SATCOM) system that provides reachback capabilities to support JDISS operations and mission planning

using SECRET Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET).

Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare

Radar-Sonar Surveillance Center

One of the mobile inshore undersea warfare

(MIUW) Radar-Sonar Surveillance Center's

(RSSC's) key functions is C2. The RSSC's

fused tactical picture provides the primary capability for the TACON and direction of maritime

interdiction assets in the AAA. The organic tactical picture is maintained on two graphical data

fusion system workstations, as well as on a

JMCIS workstation. Thermal and visual imaging

system cathode ray tube displays support the

tactical control of small boat interdiction assets,

as well as contact identification. The RSSC's

communications suite includes tactical secured

and unsecured voice and data UHF, VHF, and

HF capabilities for controlling maritime interdiction assets.

MAGTFAAOG

The AAOG provides a full array of communications connectivity; i.e., JTF Enabler System, for

the MAGTF commander during the arrival and

assembly phase.

Surface Ship Combat In formation Center

The combat information center in each of the

USN surface ships conducting escort protection for the MPSRON and seaward force protection in the AAA provides the CMPF a

primary source of intelligence information and

C2 capability.

Establishing Authority Functions

• Designate FPO, SSO, LSO, and ASO representatives.

• Request force protection assets from higher

headquarters during the planning and execution phases.

• Review and forwards the force protection and

security plans up the chain of command for

approval.

FPOC

The FPOC is the C2 hub of the establishing

authority's force protection effort. The CE and

FPO's battle watch are normally collocated. Primary concepts are layered defenses, use of

random additional measures, distributed collaborative planning, and dedicated and secure tactical

communications among security elements. This

provides a seamless transition of force protection

capabilities between phases of the operation.

Layered defense provides for early detection and

multiple opportunities for interdiction and/or

countering of potential threats. This is accomplished through proper selection and positioning

of surveillance assets and response forces to maximize detection opportunities and minimize security response time lines.

Use of random additional measures, normally

implemented during heightened force protection

conditions, will keep any observing enemy offbalance. Unpredictability is a key to successfully

protect the force.

Distributed collaborative planning entails

advance planning and real-time coordination of

security responses among the FPO, SSO, LSO,

and ASO, particularly to potential threats at the

sea-land-air interface.

The establishing authority and FPO designates

and approves security zones and preplanned

security responses developed by the SSO, LSO,

and ASO.
10-4 MCWP 3-32

FPO Functions

• Conduct a force protection assessment as a

member of the SLRP.

• Assess the total security situation and threat

assessment, and advises the establishing

authority on force protection measures.

• Develop the force protection and security

plans, including required air, sea and land

security forces, HN interactions and support

requirements, and force protection assumptions. A force protection plan must provide for

security of MPF ships during transit, offload

and reconstitution, and security of all US and

multinational personnel and equipment

involved in the MPF operation, including berthing and operational sites (see app. W for the

plan format).

• When directed by the establishing authority

establish and operate the FPOC.

• Evaluate and report daily force protection posture/status to the establishing authority when

the FPOC is established.

• Control and coordinate air, sea, and land security responses.

• Coordinate with HN security forces for air, sea,

and land security response.

• Request force protection augmentation when warranted by the changing threat/tactical situation.

Force Protection Assets

Depending on the tactical situation and the threat,

different force protection elements may be tasked

to provide security in the marshalling, movement,

and arrival and assembly phases as discussed

below. Assets may be assigned and categorized

according to the force protection functions. The

establishing authority and FPO should consider the

nonorganic assets as a "shopping list" from where

the optimum force protection package can be

assembled and organized.

Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare!

Radar-Sonar Surveillance Center

One of a MIUW unit's key functions is maritime

situational awareness. The RSSC provides a fused

tactical picture from various maritime surveillance

sensors, including surface search radars, acoustic

sensors, an electronic warfare support measures

(ESM) system, and remotely-operated thermal and

visual imaging systems. The organic tactical picture is reported via JMCIS-generated Over-the

Horizon Gold reports to other JMCIS-equipped

units to promote a common awareness of the tactical situation.

SurfacePickets

Surface pickets use a variety of onboard maritime

surveillance sensors, including surface and air

search and fire control radars, ESM systems, optical systems, and passive and active sonar systems

to develop and maintain an integrated tactical picture. Embarked helicopters may also extend a

ship's surveillance battlespace. Some ships are

equipped with combat direction finding (DF) or a

ship's signals exploitation space that provides

additional sensor input to the ship's total contact

picture. Combat direction systems, JMCIS and

associated tactical data links are used to exchange

track data with other similarly equipped units to

promote a common awareness of the tactical situation. Surface ships can also be employed as surveillance pickets to extend the surveillance area

beyond the approaches to the AAA.

Maritime Patrol Aircraft

Maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) use onboard maritime surveillance sensors, including surface search

and inverse synthetic aperture radar, ESM systems,

optical systems, and passive and active acoustic

sensors to develop and maintain an integrated tactical picture. This picture is communicated to other

units via Naval Tactical Data System and tactical
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 10-5

voice radios. MPA conduct surface and subsurface coordination flights to extend the surveillance

area beyond the approaches to the AAA.

NonorganicAssets

Various theater and DMS and sensitive compartmented information (SC!) surveillance sensors

may be tasked with supporting CMPF C4ISR

functions. These sensors provide imagery intelligence, electronic intelligence, communications

intelligence, and measurement and signature

intelligence products and analysis to augment

maritime surveillance and queue tactical sensors.

SH-60Helicopters

SH-60 helicopters can be shore-based in the

AAA and tasked with searching the sea surface

(Q-route) with optical/thermal equipment called

the Magic Lantern sensor system.

LandwardSurveillance Sensors

Landward surveillance sensors include hand-held

and mounted night vision/thermal imaging systems, ground acoustic and seismic sensors, sniper

scopes, and various trip wires and flare systems.

The systems are deployed by the LSO to provide

early detection of potential landward threats and

are usually organized into listening posts/observation posts.

Seaward Security Operations Center

The seaward security operations center (SSOC) is

the C2 hub for seaward security response forces.

The NCW group provides a fused tactical picture

from various maritime surveillance sensors,

including surface search radars, acoustic sensors,

an ESM system, and remotely operated thermal

and visual imaging systems. From this hub, various interdiction assets under the TACON of the

SSO are directed to intercept, board, search, attack,

and seize contacts of interest. The primary seaward

security concepts are layered surveillance and

defense, multiple sensors on target, early tactical

response to potential threats, and preplanned seaward security responses.

Layered surveillance and defense involves the

tasking of nonorganic and organic sensors to

conduct interwoven surveillance of the AAA

and its approaches, as well as the C2 of deep

water and inshore interdiction assets as potential threats are detected.

Based on the threat assessment, preplanned seaward security responses are prepared by the SSO

for incorporation into the force protection plan.

Preplanned responses enable the seaward surveillance and interdiction assets to test and execute

logical and well-thought-out plans for engaging

and interdicting potential threats and should

include responsibilities, coordinating actions,

reporting requirements, deconfliction measures,

and specific actions to be taken to counter the

designated threat. The plan should include preplanned responses (at a minimum) for the following threats:

• High-speed surface contact.

• Threats disguised as recreational or commercial vessels.

• Swimmers.

• Swimmer insertion platform.

• Floating/moored mines.

• Low-flying aircraft.

• Bomb threats.

• Pirate attacks.

• Convoy escort actions.

• Responses to security and exclusion zone violations by potential threats.

SSO Functions

• Assess the seaward security situation and

recommend to the FPO additional asset

requirements.

• Establish and promulgate seaward security and

maritime exclusion zones.
10-6 MCWP 3-32

• Coordinate with FIN for seaward security and

maritime surveillance actions.

• Coordinate security response actions at the sealand-air interface with the LSO, ASO, and FPO.

• Provide daily summaries of seaward security

operations to the FPO.

• Establish sortie plans in case of unanticipated

attack or a surprise condition that requires the MPF

ships to evacuate the port facility or anchorage.

Seaward Security Response

The naval coastal warfare group is the force protection integrator for the SSOC. It is a combined

USN and USCG command with select units

assigned to USN and USCG reserve centers.

NCW capabilities include adaptive force packages using various Navy and USCG assets. Some

elements that may comprise the NCW unit supporting an MPF operation are described below.

Secure and Unsecured Tactical

Communications Systems

The RSSC provides the SSO with situational

awareness and a tactical plot to direct and control seaward security and interdiction assets.

The RSSC contains various secure and unsecured tactical communications systems to coordinate interdiction assets employment. The SSO

normally has TACON of IBUs, PSUs, and HN

small boat assets.

IBUs

IBUs are Navy small boat detachments that deploy

with two high-speed, 27-ft diesel engine-powered,

closed cabin response boats armed with machine

guns. IBUs provide a rapidly deployable, armed

small craft capability with precise navigation to

support force protection and security operations in

littoral regions worldwide. IBUs are normally

under TACON of the MIUWIJ.

USCG PSUs

USCG PSUs have six high speed, 25 ft, outboarddriven response boats armed with machine guns.

The boats are primarily employed in inner harbor

areas to conduct point defense operations. PSUs

also have a maritime security component that

supports perimeter/access control and landward

securjty response measures. PSUs may be under

TACON of the NCW/MIUWU.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal

Mobile Unit Detachment

When assigned, a USN explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) mobile unit detachment conducts hull

surveys, mine searches of the MPF vessels (in

portlat anchor), and supports antiswimmer defense

measures through use of marine mammals.

HN Assets

HN assets are country-dependent and can include

patrol killer medium, LCM-8s, patrol craft, and

other small surface craft capable of visit, board,

search, and seizure (VBSS) and interdiction operations. The NCW unit and/or MIUWU may or

may not have TACON of HN assets.

MPA

MPA provide 0TH surface/subsurface surveillance in the AAA. MPA also can conduct coordinated antiship and antisubmarine attacks,

depending on armament.

Shore-BasedHelicopters

Shore-based helicopters can operate as antisubmarine and antisurface assets and respond to contacts in the operational area.

Surface/Air Mine Countermeasures

Surface and airborne mine countermeasure assets

conduct mine sweeping, detection, and neutralization in the approaches to the harbor/port facility

before and during MPF operations to establish and

maintain Q-routes through the AAA.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 10-7

Landward Security Combat

Operations Center

The landward security combat operations center

(LSCOC) provides a fused tactical picture from

various landward surveillance sensors, including

optical and thermal imaging systems and ground

sensors. Through the LSCOC various interdiction assets under the TACON of the LSO are

directed to investigate, interdict and neutralize

suspected threats. The LSCOC should be located

to best facilitate communications and coordination to provide a more rapid response to potentially hostile actions from the landward sectors.

LSO Functions

• Assess the landward security situation and recommend to the FPO additional asset requirements.

• Develop a landward surveillance and security

response plan, including preplanned responses

on-call tactical for potential threats such as terrorist, conventional or special forces attacks.

• Ensure layered, overlapping surveillance coverage of the landward security area.

• Establish and promulgate landward security

and exclusion zones.

• Coordinate with the HN for landward security

response, checkpoint/access control, and convoy escort actions.

• Coordinate landward surveillance and security

response actions at the sea-land-air interface

with the SSO, ASO, and FPO.

• Provide daily summaries of landward security

operations to the FPO.

Landward Security Response

Landward security response forces will be

assigned based on the threat. Various supporting elements may deploy and be integrated into

the landward defenses of the AAA by the LSO

as follows:

• Military police.

• EOD personnel.

• K-9 patrol dogs.

• Stinger batteries.

• Avenger batteries.

• HN police and physical security elements.

• USMC force protection sub-teams.

• Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) personnel.

Air Security Operations Center

The air security operations center (ASOC) provides a critical capability focused on the potential air threat. The vulnerability of MPF

operations to air attacks and the speed that attacks

can occur requires a C2 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 C41 requirements for data collection

and dissemination, the ASOC should be collocated with the headquarters element or joint force

air component commander (JFACC) that provides the greatest connectivity.

ASO Functions

• Assess the air security situation and recommend to the FPO additional asset requirements.

• Develop an air surveillance and security

response plan.

• Ensure layered, overlapping surveillance coverage of the entire AAA.

• Establish and promulgate air security and air

exclusion zones.

• Coordinate with I-IN for air security.

• Coordinate security response actions at the sealand-air interface with the SSO, LSO, and FPO.

• Provide daily summaries of air security and air

surveillance actions to the FPO.
10-8 MCWP 3-32

Air Security Response

The air security response is the most notional of

the three security nodes. Unlike landward security (that can largely be task-organized from the

MPF MAGTF) and seaward security (where

NCW unit assets provide the primary integrator),

airward security must be requested and integrated from completely non-MPF related supported-combatant commander'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 follow:

• Navy surface combatants (cruisers, destroyers).

• An amphibious ready group (ARG) or an expeditionaiy strike group (ESG) with an embarked

Marine Expeditionary Unit (special operations

capable) (MEU[SOCJ).

• HN aviation assets or joint force aviation assets

under the control of a JFACC.

Planning Phase

The primary goal of force protection planning is

to maintain a secure AAA for the MPF operation. Planning involves a careful threat assessment and assignment of sufficient landward,

seaward, and air security elements within an

integrated force security organization to mitigate the threat.

Situational Assessment

A situational 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, from deep

water submarines and long-range aircraft during

the transit phase, to combat swimmers, mines,

and small craft in the AAA. Changing factors

create a need for constant vigilance and evaluation of force protection measures.

Figure 10-1 lists potential threats to MPF operations in the AAA. It will assist planners in developing force protection measures. It is not a

comprehensive guide to all potential threats.

Counterintelligence (CI) and intelligence sources

should be solicited to provide tailored threat

assessments for the designated AAA and its

approaches before and during MPF operations.

Threat Description

Sabotage Generally a small explosive device smuggled onboard

MPS to destroy vital shipboard systems and/or stored

MPE/S.

Light Aircraft Small manned aircraft capable of eluding air defense

radars and equipped with small bombs and/or missiles.

Light aircraft may be explosive-laden for a suicide

mission.

Combat

Swimmers

Frogmen with snorkeling and/or self -contained breathing

apparatuses who carry mines and/or small torpedoes.

Small

Surface

Craft

Swift surface craft of less than 100 ft that can carry a

combination of hand-held or shoulder-fired missiles,

heavy automatic weapons, rockets, small arms, and

explosives. These craft can also lay mines and insert

combat swimmers into the MA.

Mines Magnetic-pressure-acoustic and contact-influenced

explosive devices that can be moored, buned or adrift in

deep, shallow or very shallow water or surf zones.

Diesel

Submarines

Small to medium submersibles and semi-submersibtes

that can carry combat swimmers, torpedoes, and mines.

Includes midget and mini-submartnes.

Car or Truck

Bombs

Generally large, vehicle-transported explosive devices.

Borders,

Piracy, and

Portable

Missiles

Self-explanatory.

Harassment Planned demonstrations or civil unrest.

SLRP

Figure 1 0-1 - Potential Threats to

MPF Operations in the AAA.

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 situation

assessment. This assessment should include ID
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 10-9

of locations for shore-based surveillance assets,

determination of the ability of a HN 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. The

assessment survey is part of the SLRP checklist

(app. H) and can be used by planners to support

a detailed assessment.

Marshalling and Movement Phases

Force protection for MPF shipping is the responsibility of the NCC. However, the establishing

authority/FPO should coordinate with the NCC in

planning for escort operations; routing MPS to

the AAA; determining the point where the MPS

CHOP to the CMPF for operations and force protection; and subsequent use of escorts for force

protection at the AAA. Primary objectives during these phases include the phased deployment

of 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 the following tasks:

• Landward security elements: to establish

secure perimeters at the pier, beach and airfield

areas; to link-up with HN landward security

elements; and to 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(SOC) embarked in

the deployed ARG or ESG.

• C4ISR elements: to conduct layered surveillance operations, establish the force protection

C2 organization, and coordinate force protection measures with HN agencies. These elements may be flown in from outside the theater

of operations and/or provided from prepositioned!deployed assets.

• Seaward security elements: to 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 HN 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.

Force protection of the strategic airlift is retained

by the supported and supporting combatant commanders. The primary goal is to secure the AAA

in advance of ship and aircraft arrival. This

involves the following:

• AAA sanitization: includes the coordination of

overlapping organic and nonorganic surveillance coverage, implementation of seaward

threat interdiction procedures, coordination

with HN security forces, and verification that

vessels anchored, pierside or underway in the

AAA are nonthreatening—and strategic aircraft and the FF can fly safely into the AAA.

• Q-route establishment: 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.

• Testing of security response measures to simulated air, landward and seaward threats:

includes coordinated responses at the air, landsea interface, communications effectiveness,

and HN interoperability.

• Declaring the AAA safe to enter for the strategic!

tactical aircraft and MPS.

Arrival and Assembly Phase

This phase includes MPS arrival, offloading, and

force standup. Force protection's primary focus is

steady-state operations, continual reevaluation of

security effectiveness and requirements, and daily
10-10 MCWP 3-32

coordination among force protection commanders

and elements. This involves the following:

• Daily planning and coordination among FPO,

ASO, SSO, LSO, and HN commanders,

including command-level reassessment of the

threat and force protection posture.

• 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 SSO, ASO, and

LSO to FPO, and from FPO to the establishing authority.

• Reevaluation of security requirements and

requests for additional force protection assets

when warranted; e.g., MPS may be moved

from anchorage to pier side or vice versa. This

could require rearrangement of or additional

surveillance and force protection assets to conduct the mission.

• CHOP various forces inlout of the force security organization as required (MPA, surface

pickets, MCM ships or HN assets).

• Maintaining vigilance and the tactical edge

through controlled testing of surveillance effectiveness and security response measures.

Reconstitution Phase

The combatant commander is overall responsible

for security but will normally delegate this to the

COMMARFOR (AOR) during reconstitution.

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:

• MPS departure: 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.

• Phased redeployment of seaward security and C2

forces: Redeployment of these 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 combatant commander's

OPLAN, such as joint logistics over-the-shore

support, port security and harbor defense, and

SLOC defense.

• Landward security, campsite and airfield security

forces redeployment: Landward security forces

are generally the last to redeploy. In a contingency situation, these forces may remain in theater and transition to other missions under the

theater combatant commander's OPLAN.

SecuritySupport

Simultaneous rejuirements for security at numerous locations (an APOE, SPOEs, washdown

sites, and staging areas) will exceed the capabilities of naval personnel and necessitate coordination with external agencies. Security forces, other

than internal security forces defined in the reconstitution T/O, will be provided from all available

sources as directed by COMMARFOR (AOR).

External security support may be provided by

the US Army, multinational forces, HNS, and

other NAVFOR.

SecurityPlanning

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.
CHAPTER 11

INTELLIGENCE

Detailed intelligence on the threat situation and

unfriendly capabilities, vulnerabilities, and estimated COAs within the AO is critical to support

early MAGTF planning requirements and decisionmaking. For uncertain conditions, similar intelligence is required on host country military,

paramilitaty, and law enforcement forces with which

the MAGTF will need to coordinate operations.

Comprehensive, accurate intelligence on the

weather conditions and on key infrastructure

questions is of critical concern to support

MAGTF planning and decisionmaking. Early

assessment of basic intelligence products and

databases, particularly those maintained by the

combatant command's Joint Intelligence Center

(JIC), will satisfy most initial intelligence

requirements (IRs). In particular, detailed and

continually updated intelligence will generally be

required on the following:

• All ports and harbors.

• Airfields.

• Roads, railways, and other LOCs.

• Telecommunications and utility infrastructures.

• Other key facilities within the AO.

Task-Organization and

Deployment Phasing

JTF, theater, and other USN intelligence operations satisfy most MAGTF PIRs until organic

MAGTF assets are operational in the AO. This

places a premium on effective integration of joint,

naval, and MAGTF intelligence planning and

operations, clear identification of MAGTF PIRs

and other IRs, and supporting CIS operations.

C2

The likely large geographic separation of the

MAGTF commander and the CMPF will generally preclude forming a combined intelligence

center as in an AF. This, coupled with the geographic separation from the JTF, will challenge MPF C2. Detailed C2 and intelligence

CONPLANs, SOPs, area intelligence studies

and supporting CIS are critical to support early

planning requirements.

Required Intelligence Capabilities

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:

• Perform intelligence preparation of the battlespace and situation development covering a

broad maneuver space.

• 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 CIS connectivity and interoperability

with national, theater, and joint forces' intelligence assets, which provide intelligence support before the MPF MAGTF arrives in the A0.

• Coordinate standoff collection assets that can

satisfy force requirements from 0TH.

• Provide organic imagery; signals intelligence;

human intelligence; CI; 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 the AO and starts operations.

Weather Conditions and Key Infrastructure
11-2 MCWP 3-32

• Coordinate dissemination systems that link

widely dispersed joint, naval, and Marine

forces afloat and ashore.

IRs

Specific IRs will be situationally-dependent. A

good source to aid all planners with identifying IRs is Marine Corps Intelligence Activity

1540-002-95, Generic Intelligence Requirements Handbook, prepared by the MCIA. The

following notional IRs reflect intelligence

gaps typical for MPF operations:

• Threat force locations, dispositions, compositions, and activities within the AOR, particularly

as they impact on the requirement for a secure

area and pose threats to MPS movement.

• Location and characteristics of an airfield suitable for AMC and CRAF aircraft operations,

and the throughput capability to support the

projected airflow.

• Location and characteristics of an adequate

port and/or beach for timely offload of the

MPSRON. A port must have sufficient water

depth, overhead clearance, and maneuver room

for the ships.

• Characteristics of the transportation network

between the port and/or beach and the airfield.

• Location and characteristics of potential anchorages.

• Hydrographic data to include tides, currents,

beach gradient, composition, trafficability, beach

frontage and depth, surf conditions, and channel

infonnation.

• Predominant weather conditions in the area to

include visibility, winds, flying conditions, and

astronomic data.

• Incorporation of the FPOC into the intelligence

system.

Establishing Authority Responsibilities

• Determine, validate, and prioritize IRs and consolidate intelligence needs of MPF elements.

• Coordinate the collection, processing, production, and dissemination of intelligence to MPF

elements.

• Review and forward requests for intelligence

and CI support.

• Establish liaison with appropriate intelligence agencies.

• Coordinate the production and dissemination of

all-source intelligence/Cl studies, estimates, and

other products to support MPF requirements.

MAGTF Commander Responsibilities

• Determine, validate, and prioritize MAGTF IRs.

• Review existing intelligence publications and

databases to identif' critical gaps in information.

• Initiate organic intelligence and reconnaissance

operations.

• Forward IRs to appropriate operational

commanders.

• Develop or activate intelligence collection

plans to include requests for national/theater

intelligence support.

• Prepare and disseminate intelligence estimates

and studies to support operational planning.

• Identify/refine GI&S requirements and prepare/activate the MAGTF war reserve stock for

delivery.

• Distribute GI&S products from the MAGTF

planning allowance for initial operational

planning.

• Develop and coordinate target intelligence activities as part of the overall targeting function.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 11-3

• Coordinate with other MPF elements for intelligence planning.

• Identify intelligence CIS requirements.

Examples of Supporting Intelligence

Agencies and Organizations

CMPF Responsibilities

• Ensure continuous intelligence support to

Navy elements from supported and supporting

combatant commanders.

• Coordinate intelligence and CI measures in

support of Navy operations.

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 IRs forwarded and validated through

appropriate operational chains of command.

CHAPTER 12

THE COMMUNICATIONS PLAN

The communications plan reflects the C2 requirements of the establishing authority, the MAGTF

commander, and the CMPF. Communications systems connect commanders, enabling them to exercise C2 requirements (commercial [HN, US or

multinational], military [US or multinational] or a

combination). Communications planning starts

with other OPLAN (execution planning) and continues through all phases.

Content

The communications plan must consider internal

and external C2 requirements for each phase of

the MPF operation. It must support mobilization

from home stations, en route movement, arrival

and assembly, and the standup for force employment; and adapt 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:

• General coverage of the communications situation (assumptions, guiding principles, and

the CONOPS communications employment).

• 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 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 ID;

NAVAIDS; and other special communications

and electronic functions.

• Communications-electronics logistics support.

• Communications with AMC C2 agencies during all phases of the operation.

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 duplication of preparation and reproduction and minimizing errors.

Planning Factors

• Communications equipment and COMSEC material must be compatible and of sufficient quantity

to support all phases of the MPF operation.

• 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.

• Use of Service and foreign civilian communication systems should be maximized to be consistent with OPSEC and COMSEC policy.

• The location of the MPF operation dictates

the extent of the inter- and intra-area coordination required.

• Communications systems must support C2

requirements whether the operation is independent or augmentation. Independent operations
12-2 MCWP 3-32

require a stand-alone communications plan;

augmentation operations require a plan that

complements the augmented force's communications plan.

• Coordinate communications connectivity with

CMPF and adjacent units.

• Supervise MAGTF communications.

CMPF Responsibilities

Establishing Authority Responsibilities

• Prepare and monitor the execution of the overarching communications plan for the MPF

operation and subsequent MAGTF mission.

• Identify and coordinate COMSEC materials

and efforts.

• Identify dedicated and special purpose circuits.

• Coordinate with the combatant commander

for the use of JS- and combatant commandercontrolled communications assets.

• Coordinate the use of FIN communications

assets and facilities with the supported combatant commander.

• Issue communications instructions to exercise

OPCON over assigned forces and to coordinate

and direct activities of supporting forces.

• Supervise MPF communications.

• Ensure that all communications shortfalls are

consolidated and addressed to the combatant

commander.

• Provide and allocate frequencies to USN MPF

elements.

• Coordinate communications requirements with

the establishing authority.

• Issue communications instructions to exercise

OPCON over assigned NAVFOR.

• Coordinate communications connectivity between

the naval task force (NTF) and the MAGTF.

• Supervise NTF communications.

CNSE Responsibilities

• Prepare the NSE communications plans for

MPF and subsequent operations.

• Identify communications requirements and

shortfalls to the CMPF.

• Activate the communications systems to support

internal and external NSE C2 requirements during each phase of the MPF operation.

• Coordinate communications connectivity with

the CMPF and adjacent units as required.

• Supervise NSE communications.

MAGTF Commander Responsibilities COMPSRON Responsibilities

• Prepare the MAGTF's communications plans

for MPF and subsequent operations.

• Activate the communications systems to include

the deployable Global Command and Control

System (GCCS) capability to support internal

and external MAGTF C2.

• Identify requirements during each phase of the

MPF operation.

• Prepare the MPSRON's communications plans

for the MPF operation.

• Identify communications requirements and shortfalls to the CMPF.

• Activate the communications systems to support internal and external MPSRON and OPP

C2 requirements during each phase of the MPF

operation.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 12-3

• Coordinate communications connectivity with

the CMPF and adjacent units.

• Supervise MPSRON communications.

• Request NEAT detachment augmentation to

support convoy or escort communications

requirements and technical expertise.

FPO Responsibifities

• Prepare FPOC communications plan for the

establishing authority.

• Identify communications requirements and

shortfalls.

• Activate the communications system to support internal and external FPO C2 requirements during each MPF operation phase.

• Coordinate communications connectivity with

senior and subordinate units.

• Supervise FPOC communications.

MAGTF's responsibility for the communications

requirements of the NSE, should be identified and

planned before execution of this phase.

Internal Communications

Each major element is responsible for establishing and maintaining required communications

with its subordinate elements. The establishing

authority will ensure that supporting commands,

unique to the marshalling phase, are included in

appropriate communications plans.

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 communications. Any tactical communications must be

provided by units external to the deploying

MAGTF. The NTF will rely on organic systems.

External Communications

Planning Phase

Execution planning, including communications

planning, begins upon receipt of the warning

order. CONPLANs are reviewed. The communications plan must support the C2 requirements of

the deployment plan. Planning requires direct

communications between the MAGTF and NTF

commanders and units. The use of existing commercial and military communications facilities

for connectivity between MPF elements and supporting units is also required. Liaison personnel

should be used whenever possible.

The establishing authority will ensure that joint

communications facilities are available for marshalling forces. External communications for the

MAGTF are provided by existing commercial

and garrison (base) facilities or by units external

to the deploying MAGTF. For example, the

MAGTF establishes communications with AMC

through the TALCE at the APODs and APOEs.

Forces marshalling at airfields rely on MAGTF

communications systems. The NTF uses existing

communications systems.

Movement Phase

Marshalling Phase

The marshalling phase is characterized by completing final preparations for movement to APOEs and

loading aboard aircraft. Communications requirements identified to support the planning phase

remain valid. Additional requirements, such as the

MPF elements deploy their forces to the AAA by

different modes; e.g., the 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 C2 requirements shift to the AAA.
12-4 MCWP 3-32

Internal Communications

MPF elements must establish reliable communications with their subordinate elements. Requirements are normally satisfied with existing systems.

The CMPF shall ensure that communications traffic is kept to a minimum because of limited available circuits. A combination of HN commercial

telephones and single channel radios (J)rovided by

the supporting organization) establishes connectivity between APOEs, APODs, en route advanced

bases or ISBs, and the AAOG. However, HN communications assets should be kept to a minimum to

maintain OPSEC. Once the AAOG is established,

MAGTF communications are established with the

MEF operations center and the DACGs at APOEs

to initiate in-transit visibility (ITV) and total asset

visibility (TAV) of FIE personnel and equipment.

The TALCE provides communications for the

AMC C2 system at the 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. If alternate means of communications do

not exist, the SLRP is supported by a MAGTF

communications team that will have sufficient

communications capability for communications

with the MAGTF's main body. 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 communications within the AAA are integrated. MAGTF

communications to the CMPF (and adjacent commands as required) are accomplished through home

station facilities and communications systems activated in the AAA. Secure en route communications

are required to ensure the commander has positive

C2 of the MAGTF throughout the movement phase.

A limited MAGTF capability exists with the

employment of portable satellite communications

equipment at en route stops. The MPSRON 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 systems required to exercise C2

become increasingly complex. Effective communications must be established for efficient functioning of all elements.

Internal Communications

Proper ID and coordination of internal communications requirements are key to successful arrival

and assembly operations. Close staff liaison must

be maintained from the outset of the executionplanning phase to ensure ID of all communications requirements.

MAGTF tactical communication systems are

installed, operated, and maintained as personnel

and equipment arrive in the AAA and MPE/S

becomes available. Initial reliance is on singlechannel radio. 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; i.e., MDSS II throughput within the

AAA. The means to do this are wireless modems

or local area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks. 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 hand-held radios to conduct

shipboard operations.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 12-5

External Communications

Increased reliance is placed on deployable communications systems for DMS traffic and telephone service. Existing FIN assets are used to the maximum

extent possible with due consideration for OPSEC.

The establishing authority should ensure that HN

communications facilities (if available and capable

of providing the desired service) are employed. A

separate communications facility is required for classified message traffic. The establishing authority also

keeps the combatant commander informed of communications capabilities.

The MAGTF's external communications are provided from secure voice, DMS traffic, GCCS

(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 is- or combatant commander-controlled communications assets. The

MPSRON, NCW unit, and NEAT use existing communications systems. COMPSRON provides an

alternate communications guard for the NSE or

other MPF elements.

MAGTF SATCOM assets include AN/TSC-93B.

SATCOM provides initial C41 connectivity and support to rapidly establish a forward-deployed MAGTF

headquarters. The ANITSC-93B is sourced from the

communications battalion as required.

Reconstitution Phase

During intheater reconstitution, to the extent

that OPSEC will allow, make use of commercial telephone systems (include mobile international maritime satellite systems with fax and

e-mail/data transfer capabilities) and FIN communications systems to release tactical communications assets for redeployment. If possible,

maintain message center operations in the AOR

until reconstitution and redeployment complete. The GCCS supports the orderly movement and tracking of equipment and supplies

and should be used whenever possible. Plans

should provide for secure communications

among shore, sea, and airborne assets.

CHAPTER 13

LOGISTICS PLANNING

Logistics planning must be comprehensive, provide

maximum flexibility, and address the multifaceted

character of the operation, including the following:

• Marshalling and movement to POEs.

• Interrelated air and sea movements.

• Arrival and reception in the AAA.

• Preparing and distributing MPE/S.

• Supporting tactical operations.

• Reconstitution operations.

Planning must focus on providing continuous support for the duration of the MPF operation, subsequent employment operations, and establishment

of a logistics/sustainment pipeline through normal channels. Plans to support an MPF operation

must be consistent with plans to support subsequent operations.

Using Existing Facilities

The Objective and the

Planning Continuum

While the MAGTF employment mission is not

part of the overall MPF operation, the commander's CONOPS for that mission drives logistics planning. The objective of logistics planning

is to anticipate requirements and incorporate

them within and across the planning continuum

as follows:

• CSS requirements based on the mission,

CONOPS, troop lists and E/Ls, operational

environment, and enemy capabilities.

• Time-phasing CSS capabilities into the AO.

• Task-organizing the CSSE.

• Developing the CSS concept of the broad functional areas of supply, maintenance, transportation,

general engineering, health services, and services.

See MCWP 4-11, Tactical Level Log&ics.

• Sustainment based on the length of the operation.

• Offload planning.

• Integrate with existing logistics systems. To

reduce deployment and unique support requirements, one goal in MPF logistics planning is to

use existing logistics systems and infrastructure as much as possible.

• Maximize use of HN and inter-Service support.

Since constraints affect logistics planning, the

logistics plan must use existing facilities to meet

those requirements. How the MPF uses available

facilities is key. The planner develops the concept

of logistics support to maximize their use. Key

factors for the use of those facilities follow.

Beaches

• Egress and transportation networks to inland destinations.

• Availability of staging areas near offload points.

• Availability of bulk fuel storage facilities.

• Suitable near-shore and offshore hydrographic

conditions.

• Landing points and safe havens for lighterage.

• Availability of ammunition storage sites.

Ports

• Berthing to accommodate ships of the

MPSRON; e.g., water depth, length, overhead

clearance, and maneuver room.

• Port services; e.g., NAVAIDS, pilots, tug

boats, oily water discharge or hotel services.

• Offload capability; e.g., pier space, staging

areas, covered storage, pier width, capacity or

MHE availability.
13-2 MCWP 3-32

• Proximity to the arrival airfield, UAAs, and

beach.

MSRs availability.

Arrival Airfields

• Runways and taxiways that can support AMC/

CRAF aircraft.

• Providing sufficient capacity to support the

arrival and assembly plan.

• Aircraft staging areas for maximum (aircraft)

on ground sufficient for AMC/CRAF and

MAGTF air operations.

• 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 temporaiy staging of airlifted elements (personnel and cargo).

• All-weather transportation networks linking the

airfield with the beach/port UAAs and TAAs.

• Sufficient MHE and dunnage to offload transport aircraft.

• Airfield lighting to support 24-hour operations.

Tactical Airfields

Fuel Requirements

Fuel requirements involve the type, quantity, and

quality of POL the HN is willing to provide, and

the compatibility of systems (HN to US aircraft!

HN to TAFDSs). Maximum use of existing storage and transportation facilities is critical as the

initial POL offload will saturate tactical systems.

The number of TAFDS sites is based on the location of aircraft and the requirement for separate

fueling areas. Installation space—with safety

buffer zones—and room for expansion of systems

must be considered in addition to interference

with other airfield facilities. See MCWP 4-1 1.5,

Bulk Liquids, and JP 4-03, Joint Bulk Petroleum

and Water Doctrine.

Class V(A) Issue, Loading, Arming/Dearming,

and Storage

Procedures must be established before tactical

aircraft arrive. The Class V(A) ordnance storage

area should be as close as possible to the aircraft

loadtng area, but far away enough to comply with

existing explosive safety regulations.

Aircraft Maintenance and Supply Support

MAGTF aircraft will 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

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.

ARFF

Tactics, geography, dispersal of aircraft, availability of HN assets, bulk water source for operations, training, and readiness must be considered.

Weather

Weather services may be provided by the establishing authority, MAGTF commander, CMPF,

AMC commander or the FIN.

ATC

HN ATC facilities and available services may

require augmentation. ATC should include a

flight clearance capability to process flight plans

and integration of the HN ATC facility with the

Marine air control squadron. Requirements for

engineer support will 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).
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 13-3

• Horizontal and vertical construction.

• Water production.

• Arresting gear installation.

• Heavy equipment and MHE.

• Installing an EAF.

Intratheater Transportation Network

The intratheater transportation network encompasses roads, bridges, canals, pipelines, railroads, barges or aircraft. The MAGTF should not

rely 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 apprpximately 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 CSSE's capabilities.

(ROS-5); i.e., ready for transit to the SPOE not

later than 5 days after direction to activate.

MAGTF operations over 30 days should activate a

T-AVB. The MALS would require approximately

160 additional strategic airlift sorties for movement to the AAA or objective area if the T-AVB is

not employed. Use of the T-AVB requires the

logistics 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 (must include the

method for transporting materiel to and from

the T-AVB).

• Capability to offload and establish the MALS

intheater.

HNS

Sequencing the FIE

The sequence and flow of airlifted and FF elements are key. They 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 logistics

requirements. Sequencing the FIE should give the

planner flexibility to deploy critical supplies or

equipment to the AO.

T-AVB

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 FW and RW aircraft. T-AVBs provide dedicated sealift for movement of the tailored MALS

(see app. N for T-AVB characteristics). The two

T-AVBs (one on each coast) are under MSC

ADCON in a five-day reduced operational status

Although logistics support is considered a

national (Service) responsibility, participation in

multinational, joint, and combined operations

requires an examination of logistics support provided by HNs in view of transportation and other

constraints. Greater use of HNS during training

and exercises ensures developing support procedures that will help in the following:

• Request assistance from multinational, joint,

and combined forces logistics agencies.

• Develop HNS facilities and plans.

• Reimburse the HN for any property or materiel

damages.

• Better understanding of interoperability

capabilities.

• Use HNS contractor support.

Standardization

Standardization enhances the ability of forces to

use HNS. Current editions of USN and USMC
13-4 MCWP 3-32

directives provide standardization policy and

establish procedures to review and implement

international standardization agreements. 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; e.g., hose couplings or railcar tie-down

devices or provide support that is available via

Service channels, but because of lift or other constraints, is not readily deployable.

HNS Developed by Service Teams

The combatant commander represents the US in

HNS negotiations, but may delegate authority to

develop and negotiate HNS agreements through

joint or Service teams; i.e., SLRP members. These

teams represent the forces in need of HNS. HNS is

usually developed by Service teams in the following sequence:

• ID of needs in a statement of requirements by

the requesting agency; e.g., the HN, unified

combatant commander or force.

• Statement of supportability by HN.

• Negotiation of support agreement.

• Finalization of HNS.

Advance LNOs

Early in planning, requirements must be identified with special attention to those peculiar to the

nature of the operation and the AO. LNOs aware

of total force requirements for HNS should conduct advance liaison and negotiation of support

agreements with the HN representatives.

• Eliminate duplication.

• Provide for expansion for peak loads.

• Respond to the operational and technical requirement of the major subordinate commands.

• Not impose an appreciable risk on combat

forces by reducing operational mobility and

effectiveness through over-consolidation.

• Provide for an appropriate liaison to meet the

needs of support units.

SpecfIc functions that are especially amenable to

the ISSAs include line haul; port operations, use of

salvage assets; use and management of real

estate; base development and 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 the 7000 series of USMC

directives. Thorough planning is required when

arranging maintenance and supply ISSAs.

Acquisition Cross-Service Agreements

and Implementing Agreements

Acquisition cross-Service agreements and implementing agreements are agreements with specific

nations that allow for the exchange of goods and

services (nonmunitions) among military forces.

This allows some flexibility in logistics planning

and diminishes delays in operational readiness

due to logistics shortfalls if the HN can provide

some logistics support.

Contingency Contracting

ISSAs

MAGTF commanders, through the judicious use

of ISSAs, can reduce logistics personnel, materiel, and facilities needed to support the MAGTF

without sacrificing the quality and responsiveness

of logistics support. Such agreements should do

the following:

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

(although complicated) must be followed. When
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 13-5

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.

Supply

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 FF elements. Planning must

ensure that materiel/material not prepositioned is

included in the FIE; e.g., specialized ordnance or

critical-low density/high demand (CLD!HD)

equipment. The MAGTF commander and CMPF

must prescribe loads for the FIE to support operations before offload of prepositioned stocks.

Planning should consider inter-Service and HNS

agreements, particularly for the SLRP, advance

party, and AAOG. The MAGTF commander

must prescribe stockage levels and distribution

means (unit or supply point) in the AAA pending

establishment of a permanent CSSA. The

MAGTF commander may be responsible for providing logistics support to Navy elements ashore.

See MCWP 4-11.7, Supply Operations.

Based on offload time lines and experience,

commanders should anticipate that only minimal MPE/S will be available for initial distribution before 0+6. Adequate supply

distribution before 0+6 can be enhanced by the

use of capability sets and specified offload priorities. By 0+6, the AAOG should enable

throughput of sufficient Class III, IV, VIII, and

IX to sustain arriving forces through 0+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 until 0+6.

Class I, Subsistence

MREs are prepositioned in sufficient quantity to

feed the notional MPF MEB identified in the

current MCBu1 3501, MPF MEB Force List, and

the accompanying NSE detachment for 30 days

(I day of supply [DOS] = 3 meals/l ration). The

intent is to feed at least one hot meal per day

starting on 0+21. Rations to support these "hots"

must come from the follow-up shipping or HNS.

Figure 13-1 may be used in accordance with the

notional force arrival plan to develop the support needed to meet force

time lines:

Planning Factors.

Class II, Clothing, Individual Equipment,

Tools, and Administrative Supplies

Commanders will deploy administrative supplies

in the advance party to support operations through

0+10. Unit publications and directives required

for 30 days of operations will deploy with the main

body as palletized or mobile loaded cargo. Each

MPSRON has a publications library that provides

sufficient administrative publications and TMs for

use by the MCMC. Units should deploy their

maintenance and supply publications. However,

should the requirement arise, the publications

aboard the MPS could be transferred to the

MAGTF. Sufficient individual NBC PPE must be

included in the FIE for the required capability to

conduct an NBC defense. One NBC set per Marine

is currently in the PU. Commanders will include
13-6 MCWP 3-32

NBC 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.

ClassIll, POL

There is a standardized core block of Class III

(packaged POL) for 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 FF to support

arriving aircraft buildup and servicing in the

AAA. Aviation-packaged POL is prepositioned

in sufficient quantities to support assigned AGSE

from 0+10 through 0+30. The SLRP will deploy

with 7 DOS of packaged POL to support its

equipment as determined by the MEF Assistant

Chief of Staff (AC/S), 0-4. The advance party

will deploy with 3 DOS to support its equipment.

Class IV, Construction Material

Limited quantities of Class IV material are prepositioned for barrier, bunker, and shelter construction. Prepositioned core block stocks will be

retained by the CSSE in the CSSA and issued on

an as-required basis.

Class V, Ammunition

Commanders will provide prescribed loads for

TO&E weapons being deployed with personnel

on the OPP, SLRP, advance party, and main

body. Prescribed loads will be established in the

deployment order and issued before moving to

the APOE.

Class VI, Personal 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 will deploy in the

follow-up shipping for distribution by the CSSE.

Sustainment should be planned for and initiated

upon deployment.

Class VII, Major End Items

Only those PEIs authorized by the MEF and

identified on the unit equipment reports will be

deployed in the FIE. When using unit responsibility items and/or supply support responsibility

items are not attained, the MEF G-3 MPF cell

and/or the MEF G-4 will request sourcing from

COMMARFORPAC/LANT before deployment. The CSSE is responsible for deploying all

such shortfalls sourced by COMMARFORPAC/

LANT. The MEF 0-3 MPF cell and/or the MEF

0-4 will provide a list of shortfall items not attained by the MAGTF CE. The MEF is provided

a list of SL-3 deficiencies for Class VII items at

the end of each ship's MMC.

Class VIII, Medical Materials

The AMAL and ADAL consist of equipment

and/or consumable supplies required by the

deploying force. AMALs and ADALs are prepositioned to support 15 days of combat operations.

The CSSE is responsible for deploying short

shelf life items, controlled medicines, and precious metals for the prepositioned AMALs and

ADALs. Initial acute care capabilities 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 will deploy unit sick call

chests and one individual surgical instrument and

supply set (Unit-One) per corpsman.

With respect to NBC medicine, 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, pyrodystigmine bromide for nerve agent
Maritime P reposItioning Force Operations 13-7

pre-treatment, and topical skin protectant (TSP)

to protect exposed skin from blister agents. Planfling for FIE NBC medicine is a joint responsibility of medical and NBC staff officers, as guided

by the supported combatant commander's

deployment requirements. The CSSE medical

detachment is responsible for acquiring, embarking, distributing, and tracking antidotes.

Class IX, Repair Parts

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. MSEs

authorized CLD/HD repair parts will include them

in their FIE, as there are none 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,

4 DOS for MSE advance parties, and 1 DOS for

MSE main body equipment.

Class X, Materials for Nonmilitary Programs

Class X supplies are not prepositioned aboard

MPS; they are embarked in the FIE or provided

from alternative sources.

Maintenance

Maintenanceplanning 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 FF 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 it shifts to

equipment for subsequent operations. Personnel

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 can

include reassembly of helicopters.

Transportation

The marshalling and movement phases of an

MPF operation are transportation-intensive.

Planners must designate marshalling areas;

identify transportation requirements; establish

control agencies; designate staging and inspection areas; and establish procedures for C3 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, FF, sea

movement of the MPSRON, and C2 of the

movement, including coordination and monitoring of departures from all POEs and arrivals

at all PODs. Transportation efforts during the

arrival and assembly phase will focus on support of 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 will establish MCCs and

procedures to efficiently manage this effort.

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 will
13-8 MCWP 3-32

focus on improving beach, port, and airfield facilities including refrigeration container hookups

and providing MEP to enhance throughput capabilities. Construction of fuel, ammunition, and

water storage facilities, and road maintenance!

improvements occur simultaneously. Control of

engineer assets should be centralized throughout

the arrival and assembly phase. An MPF MEB

will most likely have an NMCB or SEABEE battalion attached. Joint engineer assets may also be

available. See JP 4-04, Joint Doctrine for Civil

Engineering Support.

Health Services

For the marshalling and movement phases, MPF

elements will rely primarily on organic capabilities and use local facilities as necessary. During

the arrival and assembly phase, plans should

emphasize the use of HN or other Service capabilities as much as possible. Health services such

as the FH require combatant commander and Service coordination and reserve activation. The

MAGTF will coordinate with the establishing

authority and adjacent commands for aeromedical evacuations. For more information see

MCWP 4-11 .1, Health Service Support Operations; Navy Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures

(NTTP) 4-02.2, Patient Movement; JP 4-02, Doctrine for Health Service Support in Joint Operations; and JP 4-02.2, JTTP for Patient Movement

in Joint Operations.

Services

Water, electric power, law enforcement, and

traffic control are the primary concerns during

marshalling and movement. Planning for arrival

and assembly will focus on AIS support, utilities support, civil affairs, contracting, and disbursing services. Civil affairs personnel will

provide the interface with the HN. Disbursing

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

Commanders must plan for the washdown of

equipment with the agricultural inspection. This

entails a substantial amount of prior planning and

coordination; e.g., 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 will provide 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 CSSE (augmented by other MSEs)

is normally tasked with execution.

PP&P

For exercises, the officer conducting the exercise

plans the embarkation of sufficient PP&P-trained

personnel and materials to represerve all equipment. For reconstitution, the PP&P function would

be task-organized into the SPMAGTF/CSSD.

Trash and HAZMAT

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.

Commercial Line Haul Support

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 area during planning conferences. HNS,

ISSAs, and contracting for transportation reduces

the amount of lift required to support exercises.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 13-9

Equipment Issue and Return

The AAOG coordinates with the OPP Marine representative (assistant OIC); MARCORLOGCOM

(BICmd) TAAT OIC or COR; and 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. MDSS II will

be the primary AIS used to coordinate throughput

and accountability for offloaded MPE/S.

Issue Procedures

Procedures can vary depending on the type of

offload (pier side or instream) and other variables. Generally, responsibility for accountability transfers from the MCMC to a MEF/MAGTF

representative; e.g., the MOLT as MPE/S are

offloaded through a consolidated asset list generated by the MCMC. Accountability transfers

from the MOLT to the major subordinate command or MSEs at the various UAAs as MPEIS

are delivered. Scan data reports are used for

interim receipts until a CMR is generated. At a

point designated by the AAOG commander, a

JLTI will be performed by the receiving unit

and MCMC before responsibility of the MPE/S

is passed to the using unit.

"Frustrated" MPEIS

Those MPE/S that cannot be properly identified

because of missing logistics applications of automated marking and reading symbols (LOGMARS)

labels or ID plates will be kept and accounted for

by the LFSP in a "frustrated lot" until it is determined where those items are to be sent. Using

MDSS II, the AAOG will reconfirm the MPE/S

assignment and coordinate distribution with the

LFSP and AAOEs. The AAOG will serve as distribution authority for all "frustrated" MPE/S.

Excess MPE/S Lots

Excess lots are areas designated by the LFSP to

hold MPE/S 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 will direct

MPE/S to excess MPE/S lots. Excess MPE/S lots

can be established at sites determined by the

LFSP. Accountability and security of MPE/S at

excess MPE/S lots will initially be with the

LFSP. As the MPF operation continues, requests

for MPE/S held in the excess lot will be submitted from the AAOEto 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 will normally remain in place until prepared and staged

for backload.

Return Procedures

During an exercise, the return of MPE/S will be

coordinated between the TAAT OIC, MAGTF

commander, MCMC, and the exercising unit. (As

stated in ch. 8, for a real-world reconstitution

operation, an SPMAGTF/CSSD will be the interface between the using unit and the TAAT.)

A JLTI will be conducted between the MCMC

and exercising unit on all offloaded equipment.

Upon completing the JLTI, the unit will use the

original packing material and dunnage to the

maximum extent possible to represerve equipment. When an item of equipment requiring

repair is returned to the MPS, the condition of

the equipment and the required repairs will be

annotated on the JLTI form. Units, whether during an exercise or operation, will turn over all

equipment repair orders, equipment repair order

shopping lists, and other documents relating to

maintenance performed. The MCMC will sign

the consolidated asset list indicating receipt of
13-10 MCWP 3-32

equipment and update the applicable maintenance AIS for MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd).

Repair costs to equipment and replacing supplies

will be 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 will be represerved before backload. Equipment will be returned in the same state

as it was issued or as directed by a reconstitution

LOl. This involves cleaning, reapplying protective

materials and dunnage, and recrating all collateral!

ancillary materiel originally stored in crates.

Equipment will be cleaned, taking special care to

remove all mud and dirt from engine compartments, undercarriages, and suspension. PP&P supplies are the responsibility of the exercising unit.

The exercising unit must include personnel experienced in PP&P operations.

Medical Credentials

Before deployment, the MAGTF Surgeon and one

other medical officer holding operational medicine privileges will perform a credentials review of

all medical officers assigned to the MAGTF, in

accordance with Bureau of Medicine and Surgery

Instruction (BUMEDINST) 6320. 66D, Credentials Review and Privileging Program.

Responsibilities of Higher Authority

The JCS provides broad logistics guidance to the

Services and unified commands. A designated

combatant commander coordinates basic logistics functions within an AOR and may establish

logistics 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; e.g., an Army Service component may

provide line haul transportation on C+45; an Air

Force Service component may provide bulk JP-5

on C+60.

Service components provide logistics support to

their subordinates. Fleet commanders establish

logistics support through TYCOMs, who ensure

that forces are trained and equipped to conduct

MPF operations. TYCOMs also support deploying forces directly or through procedures arranged with home stations. See JP 4-0, Doctrine for

Logistics Support of Joint Operations; JP 4-07,

JTTP for Common User Logistics During Joint

Operations; and JP 4-08,Joint Doctrine for Logistic Support of Multinational Operations.

MAGTF Commander Responsibilities

The MAGTF commander is the focal point for deliberate logistics planning designed to support MPF

operations. Responsibilities follow:

• Determine, in coordination with the CMPF, the

FIE composition including specifications of

prescribed loads for air movement.

• Develop the deployment plan; arrival and assembly plan; and the supporting logistics plans.

• Make decisions for redistributing assigned MPE/S

based on the employment mission.

• Coordinate with higher headquarters for the

use of externally controlled logistics assets.

• Recommend the withdrawal of prepositioned war

reserve material (PWRM).

CMPF Responsibilities

• Coordinate logistics activities among the Navy

MPF elements and prioritize and allocate logistics resources.

• Review logistics plans for subordinate elements to ensure an integrated plan.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 13-11

• Coordinate with higher headquarters for the use

of externally controlled logistics assets. Aviation Support and Maintenance

COMPSRON Responsibilities

The COMPSRON plans logistics support for

movement of the MPSRON and for support of

embarked personnel.

MPS Billeting Reponsibilities

MPS billeting for MAGTF and NSE personnel

assigned to the OPP and debarkation teams is

coordinated between the MAGTF and USN planners contributing forces.

MPF MAGTF CSSA Siting

Once the ship discharge method is determined, the

next task is to survey and select the CSSA site.

Desirable distances between beach, port, airfield,

assembly areas, and objective area are normally

less than 50 miles. This shortens LOCs and reduces

the MAGTF's local area security requirements.

The CSSE needs access to a hard-surface road network and sufficient flat, firm ground for containers, ammunition, and bulk liquid storage dumps.

Working space requirements for each functional area detachment of a MEB-sized CSSE

follow (total of 1,800 acres/7.3 square kilometers (km2) overall):

• General storage: 30 acres!. 13 km2; ammunition

storage: 1,000 acres/4.05 km2.

• Health services: 33 acres/.l4 km2.

• Maintenance administration: 25 acres&l 1 km.

• Bulk fuel: 100 acres/.41 km2.

• Bulk water: 25 acres!. 11 km2.

• Ingress/egress routes, landing zones, dispersion

areas and associated safety zones: 600 acres!

2.43 km2

Prepositioned

Aviation support equipment and AGSE prepositioned aboard each MPSRON provides tailored

organizational-level common support equipment

(CSE) and peculiar support equipment (PSE) for

the ACE. The FIE and FF will include aviation

support and AGSE supplies required for initial

aircraft servicing operations; i.e., debarkation,

recovery, staging, reassembly, and servicing

required for initial buildup and support. An FF

supply support package will be provided by the parent Marine aircraft group (MAG) 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 will be

deployed by the ACE in the main body to provide

support to the organizational maintenance activity through D1+D30. The MALS will deploy via

T-AVB or by AMC strategic airlift to arrive in

the AAA on D+30. A daily aviation logistic support flight from a USN supply entry point or

CONUS depot will be established.

Each MPS contains tailored organizational-level

CSE, PSE, and minimal intermediate-level CSE

to support each ACE's preassigned mix of T/M/S

aircraft. When deployed, each ACE can provide

tactical air support for an MPF MEB. Each

MAGTF will be able to independently deploy or

if the situation dictates, join up and be composited to form a larger AF.

FF

ACE FW aircraft will be flight-ferried directly to

the theater of operations supported by Marine

organic or AMC aerial tankers aircraft. The

remainder of the RW aircraft/FIE will be flown

into the theater of operations via Marine organic

or AMC/CRAF cargo/passenger aircraft and will

include the following:

• ACE squadron personnel; e.g., maintenance

and support crews.
13-12 MCWP 3-32

• A representative TIM/S FISP contained in

mobile facilities.

• Organizational-level individual material readiness list (IMRL) items; e.g., noncustody coded

items.

• Minimal custody-coded intermediate-level IMRL

items (AGSE) required for initial aircraft servicing operations; e.g., tow tractors, MEP carts or

hydraulic servicing carts.

Upon Arrival and Offload of MPS

Each tactical aircraft squadron assigned to the ACE

will link-up with and take custody of the remainder of the CSE/PSE required to operate and maintain their respective TIM/S aircraft. Each MPSRON

contains a tailored IMRL for each TIM/S aircraft

assigned for an MPF MEB ACE, which is comprised of IMRL custody-coded items P, L, and M.

When the IMRL loaded aboard MPS is linked-up

with the aviation support and AGSE transported

into the theater of operations via the FIE, it comprises all CSEIPSE required to operate each T/MIS

aircraft during the first 30 days of combat. Normally, 30 percent of this equipment is prepositioned due to funding constraints.

Maintenance Facilities

Each MPSRON also includes minimal FW and RW

mobile maintenance facilities and associated equipment. This facility equipment or intermediate-level

CSE supports intermediate-level maintenance functions common to FW and RW aircraft; e.g., tire!

wheel build-up, batteiy maintenance or cryogenics.

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 via a T-AVB. Each

host MALS will deploy with tailored intermediate-level CSE common contingency support

package and IMRL custody-coded E PSE items

peculiar contingency support package required by

each T/M/S aircraft the MALS is designated to

support. After the host MALS is established

intheater, each MEB ACE will be capable of sustained combat operations.

EAFEquipment

EAF equipment is included in each MPSRON to

support FW and RW aircraft. The concept of

employment is to load EAF equipment on one of

the nonflag ships in each MPSRON, giving each

MPSRON a core capability of airfield lighting,

expeditionary arresting gear, and airfield landing

matting. EAF assets give the ACE commander a

4,000-ft EAF runway; parking for 75 to 105 combat aircraft; airfield lighting; arresting gear; and

optical landing systems. EAF equipment aboard a

MPS is installed, operated, and maintained by

designated Marine wing support squadron

(MWSS) personnel. MWSS is configured to support ACE aircraft until the host MALS arrives.

Establishing the host MALS intheater gives the

ACE a sustained EAF capability.

Fully Operational Ready Status

Subsequent to attaining a fully operational ready

status, FW and RW sortie rates will be based on

aircraft mission capability in accordance with the

weapons 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.
CHAPTER 14

AIS SUPPORT

MAGTF li/LOGAIS Relationship

AIS support in MPF operations is provided by the

MAGTF TI/logistics automated information system (LOGAIS) family of systems, GCCS, and the

JOPES. These mutually supporting AIS (see fig.

14-1) assist in the following:

• Deliberate planning.

• CAP.

• Time-sensitive planning and deployment, employment, and redeployment of a MAGTF in independent, joint, and multinational operations.

• The MAGTF Data Library (MDL), which

serves as source data for the systems.

MDSSH

MDSS II is the unit level (battalion/squadron/separate company) deployment planning and execution system that provides MAGTF MSEs with a

single source automated deployment database

(see figs. 14-4 and 14-5).

MDSS II provides commanders with the ability

to respond to operations planners' requests for

detailed plan data for import into MAGTF II.

Used during all phases of an MPF operation,

MDSS II provides the information and functionality to do the following:

• Source and tailor plan-specific force structures

composed of FIE and other personnel, equipment, and supplies for multiple OPLANs.

• Monitor embarkation readiness status.

Figure 14-4. Deployment Systems Overview.

• Provide movement and embarkation planning

data at Level IV detail (National Stock Number

and item serial number level).

• Assign MPE/S to specific units.

• Develop and tailor future operations equipment

databases for MPF and amphibious shipping.

• Use the LOGMARS bar code labelling and

scanning functions to do the following:

• Create labels.

• Rapidly associate containers/vehicles and their

contents.

CHAPTER 15

TRANSFORMATION

Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW) is the

Marine Corps' capstone concept for the early 21St

century. Transformation within EMW calls for a

more flexible approach to operations and logistics

to support rapid decisionmaking and execution

with a seabased MAGTF. The MAGTF will

enhance its forcible entry capability and enable

sustained land campaigns by exploiting the tenets

of EMW and by advancements in technology and

logistics modernization. Emerging seabasing concepts will enable forward deterrence and assure

access from the sea without depending on static

land bases, ports or airfields in a JOA.

Seabasing

Future seabasing envisions a transformation from

a current limited scope and duration capability to

one where only those MAGTF elements essential to mission accomplishment will be brought

ashore. Most fire support, aviation, aviation support, C2, and logistics functions would remain

seabased throughout the operation. This translates

into an increased operational tempo, reduced

infrastructure ashore, and requirements for rear

area security that facilitate rapid reembarkation,

reconstitution, and redeployment.

Operational Maneuver from the Sea

The underlying operational concept for all

MAGTF operations is operational maneuver from

the sea (OMFTS). OMFTS applies the principles

of maneuver warfare to naval forces at the op erational level. The MAGTF, as part of the naval

expeditionary force in an operation or joint campaign, takes advantage of the sea as maneuver

space. OMFTS may be realized as a shaping

operation in a larger campaign to introduce a

larger force, conduct sustained operations ashore

or support any variety of MOOTW.

As part of OMFTS, ship-to-objective maneuver

(STOM) combines STS movement with subsequent operations ashore into a single, decisive

maneuver that occurs directly from the ship to

the objective. Sustainment comes directly from

a sea base to the force without a build-up of supplies or double handling on the beach. STOM

maximizes capabilities of the expeditionary

fighting vehicle (EFV) and the MV-22 tiltrotor

aircraft (when fully fielded) to support surface

attack and vertical assault, critical resupply, and

MAGTF sustainment.

Pillars of MPF (Future)

Evolving improvements in ship design and

exploitation of emerging materials-handling technologies will permit the MPF (future) (MPF[F})

to reinforce an AF and serve as a sustainment

pipeline for a MAGTF committed ashore. Reconstitution and redeployment allow for intheater, atsea reconstitution and redeployment to expedite

immediate employment in follow-on missions.

These improvements combine to support the pillars of MPF(F) intertwined with the related pillars of seabasing (see fig. 15-1):

MPF(F) Seabasing

Force closure Phased at-sea arrival and assembly

AF interoperability Selective off load; integrated power projection

Sustainment Selective off load; persistence sustainment--

seabased conduit for operations and logistics

Force Closure

Force closure will provide for the phased at-sea

arrival and assembly of the seabased echelon of an

MPF(F) MEB, negating the requirement for secure

ports and airfields. Marines will deploy via a combination of inter- and mtratheater surface transport

and strategic, theater, and tactical airlift—including the MV-22—to rendezvous with the MPS en

route to objective areas. Platform design will

include unit billeting and easy access to equipment

to enable Marines to make their equipment combatready and conduct inspection, maintenance, and

reconfiguration of tactical loads. The desired end

state is the MPF(F) MAGTF will be prepared for

operations when it arrives in the objective area.

AF Interoperability

Reinforcing the AF's assault echelon through

selective offloading will allow the MPF(F) to participate in amphibious operations. This increased

versatility enhances the AF's striking power.

AF ships provide forward presence, forcible

entry capable operating platforms for landing

craft and aircraft, C2 systems, troop berthing,

staff accommodations, weapons suites, and

damage control. This capability increases air

and surface lift capacity for movement ashore,

enhances logistic support, and allows for

MAGTF recovery and redeployment.

MPS(F) will be multipurpose platforms (operational- and logistics support-capable) optimized for

storage, transport, and selective offload of up to an

MPF(F) MEB's personnel, weapons systems, and

cargo. MPS(F) will also provide facilities for tactical employment of assault support aircraft, surface

assault craft, EFV, and the ships' organic surface

craft. Ships' communications systems will be compatible with the AF's tactical C2 architecture to

access advanced capabilities and shared situational

awareness that will be available in the future.

Sustainment

MPF(F) can serve as a conduit for logistics support

and sustainment. It must be able to receive, store,

maintain, manage, and deploy equipment and supplies to sustain the MPF(F) MAGTF's employment operation. Supplies will flow from the source

through the naval logistics system to the Marine

and Navy units afloat or ashore via the seabase. As

a larger seabased logistic effort, MPS(F) could

combine with future aviation logistics support or

hospital ships, and offshore petroleum distribution

systems that could integrate operations with joint

intheater logistic agencies for eventual transition to

a shorebased system.

Reconstitution and Redeployment

Without the need to replenish at advanced bases

or ISBs, MPF(F) will be able to conduct in theater reconstitution and redeployment. This

MPF(F) rapid reconstitution capability will allow

for immediate employment in follow-on missions. Key components of MPF(F) operations to

enable the full range of MPF(F) options will be

fast deployment, reinforcement, and sustained

seabasing. However, a JTF may need to take

advantage of only one or two of these components depending on the mission. Regardless, the

MPF(F) will have the flexibility to reconstitute

forces specifically tailored for each mission.

The fast-deployment component allows for the

deployment of combat-essential equipment for an

MPF(F) MEB or smaller MAGTF, along with

appropriate, selectively offloadable sustainment.

The reinforcement component will provide for

equipment and appropriate sustainment for a MEB

already employed in an operation. The sustained

seabasing component will furnish a full range of

logistic support and the conduit to advanced bases

or ISBs; the MPF(F) will provide indefinite sustainment for the MAGTF.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 15-3

Logistics Modernization

Logistics modernization envisions the Marine

Corps accessing a worldwide infrastructure of

distribution systems to support expeditionary

operations. A transformation to integrating naval

expeditionary logistics capabilities with joint

information and logistics systems will provide

TAV and a relevant common operational picture,

linking the operator and logistician across Service

and support agencies. Logistics modernization

seeks to develop a partnership between the Marine

Corps and commodity suppliers to literally connect

the sustainment pipeline from the source to a

MAGTF ashore via a seabase platform.

APPENDIX I

OPP 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 Off load 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 via the AAOG.

• The OPP headquarters is collocated with

COMPSRON and individual MPS detachments. Each detachment is composed of USN

and MAGTF personnel, each with specific

responsibilities.

• The OPP OIC will liaison with MPSRON personnel to determine the maximum number of

personnel that can embark in accordance with

each ship's USCG COl.

• 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 preembarkation 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 instream

offload (barring other direction from the

MAGTF commander) follows:

• Ship cargo handling systems; e.g., cranes or

winches.

• Lighterage.

• NSE communication equipment.

• NSE equipment for instream and beach offload.

• MHE to support the offload.

• Depreservation and preparation of MAGTF

equipment.

• Fuel/water discharge systems.
1-2 MCWP 3-32

• 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

unsafe situations or damage occurs.

• OPP supervisors (chief petty officer [CPO]/staff

noncommissioned officer [SNCOI) of troops

ensure that preparations for space turnover

(cleaning of berthing spaces) are completed.

• The OPP establishes communications th 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.

• 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 ship's master's approval 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.

Tasks

Tasks include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Locate MAGTF equipment to match and validate the ship's load plan.

• Identify MPE/S per guidance established by

the MAGTF commander and identify the

equipment assignment. To speed the ID,

assignment, and distribution process for equipment, the MEF responsible for a particular

MPSRON will use a tag or marking system to

identify MPE/S assignment to the MA GTE

MSEs. Ensure permanent damage does not

occur when the equipment is tagged or

marked. The MEF's major subordinate commands will further distribute equipment down

to battalion and squadron levels in MDSS II.

• Conduct preoperations checks and make

adjustments:

• Visually inspect tires for proper inflation.

CAUTION

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.
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations 1-3

CAUTION

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 lefi front near the headlight.

An example of a tag system to identify maintenance status follows:

• Green Tag: RFI.

• Yellow Tag: Minor repairs/adjustments required. Equipment is considered safe to operate. Repairs/adjustments required will be

annotated on the tag.

• Red Tag: Major 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 weapons systems and SL-3

components as required.

• Unlash equipment when directed by the

ship's master when near the AAA and

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 L

BEACH AND PORT OPERATIONS CHECKLIST

This appendix is for SLRP NSE, BOG, and POG

members when evaluating beaches and ports. The

OCU will also use this checklist to determine

lighterage requirements, lighterage configurations, and other types of craft that may be used

during the offload.

Data Required to Begin Instream Offload

Surfswell conditions include significant breaker

height, depth, and angle of breakers to the beach,

wave length directly outside the breaker line, and

period of breakers. Other conditions follow:

Beach slope.

.. Beach irregularities.

• Prevailing surf

• Currents.

• Tides.

• Beach composition.

• Ability to use the following equipment:

• ROWPU.

• AABFS.

• Amp+ibious 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.

• Currents (longshore).

• Depth of water and beach gradient.

• Beach features (width of the surf zone).

• Sea state.

Note: aerial reconnaissance ofprojected offload sites should be conducted as soon as

possible after sites are established. Reconnaissance results will permit for adjusting and

correcting the original forecast.

Surf Observation Reports

Depending on the specific operation, surf conditions are reported by various organizations such as

SEAL teams, beachmasters or force reconnaissance. These 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. Information includes

the following:

• Initial report: establishes starting point for

beach operations.

• Periodic reports: submitted twice daily when

conditions change after the offload starts.

Additional SUROB reports are prepared as

needed to maintain a safe offload.

• 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-l:

L-2 MCWP 3-32

Table L.-1. SUROB Report Elements.

Index Description

ALFA Significant breaker height: the average height of the

one-third highest breaker on that beach.

BRAVO Maximum breaker height: the highest breaker

observed on that beach.

CHARLIE Period of breaker-. the time interval between breakers,

DELTA The types of breakers and percentage of each.

ECHO Breaker angle: the acute angle, in degrees, that a

breaker makes with the beach and its direction

relative to the beach (ñghtlleft flank).

FOXTROT Littoral current: The longshore current's direction and

speed.

GOLF The number of lines of breakers in and the width of

the surf zone measured in ft.

HOTEL Remarks: information important to landing operations; e.g., wind direction and velocity; visibility; debds

in the surf zone; secondary wave system; or dangerous conditions.

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

dimensionless 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 vehicles.

MS) 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 lighterage and amphibious vehicles. The

modified surf limit (MSL) is the maximum surf

that should be attempted for routine operations. If

the MSI exceeds the MSL for the craft or vehicle, the instream offload is not feasible without

increasing the casualty rate. If the MSI is less

than the MSL of the craft, the landing is feasible.

Modification tables to complete calculations are

in COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3840.1, COMNAVSURFPAC/

COMNA VSURFLANTJNST Joint Surf Manual,

chapter 11.

the COMPSRON staff.

US Government Access

The entirety of the ships' holds, decks, and usual

places of loading are at the US Government's disposal. This is not the entire ship. The US Government 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 preapproval of the squadron commander as MSC's onscene COR.

Cargo Stowage

The US Government has the right to use the

ship's winches and other appropriate loading and

discharging gear. Cargo is loaded, stowed,

secured, and discharged by US Government per- sonnel under the master's supervision. The

amount of cargo approved for loading is at the

discretion of the master (ship's stability, draft,

and hull stress being prime considerations).

Titles 10,33,46, and 49, US Code

The MPS operating companies will operate the

ships as directed by the US Government and

reflect such in a written or DMS order, including

all voyage and cargo matters. Neither the US

Government nor an operating company may

operate a ship in violation of any law of the US.

As commercial vessels, MPSs are built and operated under Titles 10, 33, 46, and 49 of the US

Code. The USCG implements provisions of the

law under those titles in the CFR.

NEAT Capabilities

NEATs serve aboard civilian-manned ships. Using

their portable equipment, they will provide tactical,

maneuvering, amphibious, and other naval advice to

ships' masters to permit a proper communications

interface between merchant ships and the naval vessels with which they may serve. NEATs are 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. NEATs

serve as advisors and facilitators for the ship's master. NEATs were formed for three reasons:
N-6 MCWP 3-32

• 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 communications

equipment.

Embarkation Considerations

Personnel normally embarked on MPSs consist of

a ship's company, squadron staff, MCMC personnel, and the USMC COR. Personnel embarked on

occasion include a USMC/USN surge team and

OPP for exercises, contingency support, and/or

training. These organizations must work and coordinate closely to ensure that the readiness of the

ships and MPE/S is maintained at the highest levels and the readiness status is accurately reported

to the appropriate combatant commander.

Ship Masters Authority

All US Government personnel onboard are subject

to the authority of the ship's master and officers.

Surge Team Accommodation

The US Government 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 life-saving equipment aboard ship

permit, the US Government 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 N9 through N-12 for specific berthing numbers).

Additionai Steward Support

The US Government 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 will provide personnel augmentation;

e.g., cooks, messmen to the steward department.

Life-Saving Gear

The operating company is responsible for supplying sufficient life-saving gear for the surge team
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations N-7

per all USCG regulations. The US Government

must ensure that the number of personnel permanently embarked does not exceed the amount of

life-saving equipment.

Request for Embarkation

ForCOMPSRON and the respective ship to fully

support the embarked activity/command, advance

notification of the desired dates and nature of the

visit are required. All activities desiring to

embark personnel on a squadron ship will request

permission from the cognizant COMPSRON via

message at least 5 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 officers (M!F)/enhisted (MIF).

• Name of OIC/senior member.

• Meal requirement; e.g., in excess of normal

provisions such as box lunches, midrats.

• Security clearance data.

• Quantity and type of ligliterage to be splashed.

• Miscellaneous/amplifying information; e.g.,

crew involvement, gear to be unloaded,

alternate dates.

COMPSRON Response

The COMPSRON will reply to an embarkation

message and either grant or deny 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 arty means and as soon as possible.

T-AVB

The T-AVB (aviation maintenance logistics ship) is

part of the Ready Reserve Force that is dedicated to

provide sealift for movement of a MALS to support

the rapid deployment of FW and RW aircraft units.

Both T-AVBs (SS Curtiss T-AVB 4 and SS Wright

T-AVB 3) are in ROS-5 in CONUS layberths

(CuriissfBaltimore, MD and Wright/Port Hueneme,

CA). When T-AVBs activate, they are under the

OPCON of MSC. T-AVBs are crewed under an

operating contract by the MARAD. T-AVBs are

activated to participate in annual exercises and

deployments as required. MPS or MPSRON

employment does not necessarily mean T-AVBs

will be employed (see table N-15).

The MALS supports a designated mix of aircraft

included in a specific MAGTF ACE. The majority

of facilities used by the MALS when ashore are

packaged in 8 ft by 8 ft by 20-ft containers

designated as mobile maintenance facilities

•(MMF5) 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 684 MMFs, while the working

loadout is approximately 352 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 weapons 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. 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, the Aviation

Logistics Support Ship (T-A VB) Logistics Planning

Manual must be consulted.

T-AH

Bureau of Medicine and Surgery controls medical staffing. T-AHs are operated by 68 civil

Service mariners; 820 active and reserve medical personnel; 372 naval support personnel;

and 15 military communicators. MSC operates

two Mercy class T-AH designed to provide

emergency on-site care for US combatant

forces that can support an MPF operation. Each

of these seabased 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

summarizes the Mercy class ships' capabilities. USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) and USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) are maintained inROS-5 in

CONUS layberths (Mercy/San Diego, CA and

Comfort/Baltimore, MD).

Debarkation Team

The debarkation team is comprised of a headquarters formed from the OCU augmented by the

MOLT, a USN debarkation team, and a USMC

debarkation team. Sizing of the USMC team is

driven by the class of ship and means of offload.

USN Debarkation Team

A normal cargo handling force requires eight

seven-man hatch teams for 24-hour operations. A

hatch team is comprised of a hatch captain, hold

boss, crane operator, and four stevedores. These

hatch crews 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 USMC debarkation personnel can be billeted on the ship if hatch team

requirements are reduced. The FH and NMCB

detachments are only assigned to specific ships—

two for the FH and three or four for the NMCB,

depending on the embarkation spreadload

Nondebarkation team personnel will be billeted

ashore; i.e., the Navy's assault craft unit, beachmaster unit, and amphibious construction battalion personnel must debark also on Navy-day

(0-1) to facilitate the embarkation of the

NAVCHAPGRU personnel. The main difference in the USN debarkation team for instream

and pier side offloads is the reduction of the

four-person lighterage control section during

pier side offloads.

USMC Debarkation Team

The USMC 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 USMC OPP). Accordingly, 30 to 50 Marines

from the OPP must debark during Navy Day (0-

1) to facilitate the embarkation of the

NAVCHAPGRU personnel. At a minimum, the

USMC Ship OIC, two corpsmen, and three

cooks/messmen must be retained as the six core

personnel. The remainder of the team is taskorganized based on offload requirements. For a

successful STS movement, a USMC debarkation

team must be billeted aboard the ship for 24-hour

operations. These limitations are normally temporarily waived for an 8 to 12-hour period as AAV

crews complete their final preparation for splashing their AAVs at first light on 0-Day.

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 GEOPREPOSITIONTh4G

PROGRAMS MUST BE RECONSTITUTED AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE

AND BE RESPONSIVE TO THE WARFIGHTER AND THE SUPPORTED

COMBATANT COMMANDER. RECONSTITUTION OF OUR PREPOSITIONING CAPABILITIES MUST BE DELIBERATE AND CAPITALIZE

ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT EMERGING OPERATIONAL

REQUIREMENTS THAT WILL POSITION THE MARINE CORPS TO

ENABLE FUTURE TRANSFORMATIONAL CONCEPTS.

3.B. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS. THE MPS WILL BE RECONSTITUTED IN A DELIBERATE AND PHASED APPROACH THAT WILL

NOT DETRACT FROM ONGOING OPERATIONS WITHIN THE XXCOM

AOR. THE FIFTH PHASE OF MPF OPERATIONS IS RECONSTITUTION
Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations S-9

AND MUST BE INTEGRATED INTO MMC-X. lOT ACCOMPLISH THIS

REQUIREMENT, MPF RECONSTITUTION WILL OCCUR IN TWO DISTINCT BUT OVERLAPPING PHASES: PLANNING AND EXECUTION.

3.B.I. PHASE I - PLANNING. PLANNING FOR MPF RECONSTITUTION IS

CONDUCTED IN THREE STAGES. IT BEGINS ONCE THE MPS ARE OFFLOADED TO SUPPORT MAGTF OPERATIONS AND IS CONTINUOUS

UNTIL THE MPS ARE FULLY INTEGRATED INTO THE MMC-X SKED.

3.B.1.A. STAGE I - INITIAL PLANNING CONFERENCE (IPC). FORMAL

PLANNING FOR MPF RECONSTITUTION BEGINS AT THE IPC TO

ESTABLISH THE EXECUTIVE COORDINATION GROUP (ECG), AND

REVIEW ACTIONS REQUIRED TO BE COMPLETED ISO RECONSTITUTION OPERATIONS.

3.B.l.B. STAGE II- MID-PLANNING CONFERENCE (MPC). DESIGNED

TO REVIEW THE MPO, REVIEW SOURCING PLANS, REVIEW NEW

FIELDING ISSUES THAT IMPACT IN THEATER 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.I.C. STAGE III - FINAL PLANNING CONFERENCE (FPC). ON OR

ABOUT R-DAY, A FINAL PLANNING CONFERENCE IS CONDUCTED

INTHEATER lOT 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 INTHEATER 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 MPO IS COMPLETE.

3.B.2.A. STAGE I (INTHEATER). RECONSTITUTION OPERATIONS

BEGIN INTHEATER 0/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 INTHEATER WITH MPE/S. SUB-PHASES DURING THIS STAGE WILL BE OUTLINED IN APPROPRIATE ORDERS AND LETTERS OF INSTRUCTION

THAT PROVIDE SPECIFIC DETAILS AND TIME LINES JOT 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

of forces in the Marine air-ground task force

(MAGTF) are functionally grouped into four

core elements: a command element, an aviation

combat element, a ground combat element, and

a combat service support element. The four

core elements are categories of forces, not formal commands. The basic structure of the

MAGTF never varies, though the number, size,

and type of Marine Corps units comprising each

of its four elements will always be mission

dependent. The flexibility of the organizational

structure allows for one or more subordinate

MAGTFs, other Service, and/or foreign military forces to be assigned or attached. Also

called MAGTF. (MCRP 5-12C)

MAGTF offload liaison team—A task organization assigned to both the offload preparation

party and the offload control unit to assist in
