6. 107.4 What is the Combat Service Support Element (CSSE) of a Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) (MEU (SOC))? [ref. b, p. 6-3 thru 6-5] The MEU(SOC) CSSE is a MEU(SOC) service support group (MSSG). The MSSG consists of detachments from the FSSG tailored to provide a full range of CSS necessary for the MEU(SOC) to accomplish all assigned missions. Command and control support is provided by a detachment from the communications company of the H&S battalion. The detachment provides communications support to the MSSG. The MEU(SOC) is the standard forward-deployed MAGTF. Marine Corps Forces, Atlantic (MARFORLANT), and Marine Corps Forces, Pacific (MARFORPAC), maintain forward-deployed MEU(SOC)s in the Mediterranean Sea, the western Pacific, and Southwest Asia. The MEU(SOC) is a self-contained operating force that is capable of missions of limited scope and duration. Although each MEU(SOC) is task-organized, a typical MEU(SOC) includes a standing CE; a reinforced infantry battalion; a reinforced helicopter squadron with transport, utility, and attack helicopters and, as required, a detachment of vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) fixed-wing attack aircraft; and a task-organized CSSE.   MEUs routinely receive special training before deploying that results in their designation as special operations capable. These MEU(SOC)s are augmented with selected personnel and equipment to provide enhanced conventional and selected maritime special operations capabilities.[1] Embarked aboard a three- to four-ship Navy Amphibious Readiness Group (ARG) with sustainment for 15 days, a forward-deployed MEU(SOC) provides a seabased quick-reaction force that is capable of a wide variety of missions. In many cases, the MEU(SOC) will be the first U.S. force at the scene of a crisis and can resolve the crisis or, if necessary, conduct enabling actions for larger follow-on forces. [1] Maritime special operations capabilities include reconnaissance and surveillance; specialized demolitions; tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel; seizure/recovery of offshore energy facilities; seizure/recovery of selected personnel or materiel; visit, board, search, and seizure of vessels; and in extremis hostage recovery.

7. 107.5 What is the CSSE of a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB)? [ref.?] The BSSG is task-organized around a brigade service support group. This element has engineering, supply, transportation, landing support for beach, port and airfield delivery, medical, and maintenance capabilities. The Marine expeditionary brigade (MEB) is the “middle-weight” MAGTF. It is a crisis response force capable of forcible entry and enabling the introduction of follow-on forces. It can serve as part of a joint or multinational force and can provide the nucleus of a joint task force headquarters. It is unique in that it is the smallest MAGTF with a fully capable aviation element that performs all six functions of Marine aviation and is self-sustaining for 30 days. A MEB is capable of rapid deployment and employment deploying either by air, in combination with the MPS, or by amphibious shipping. As a result, the MEB can conduct the full range of combat operations and may serve as the lead echelon of the MEF. The MEB is not a standing organization, but rather imbedded within the MEF. As a result, MEBs are task-organized for specific missions from within the assets of the MEF. The MEB conducts the mission or prepares for the subsequent arrival of the rest of the MEF or other joint or multinational forces. However, the deployment of a MEB does not necessarily mean that all the forces of the MEF will follow. Currently, the 1st, 2d, and 3d MEBs have been designated within I, II, and III MEF and are commanded by the deputy MEF commanders or other general officers.   The 4th MEB (AT) provides the unified combatant commanders with a rapidly deployable and sustainable specialized antiterrorism force to deter, detect, and defend against terrorist actions and conduct initial incident response to combat the threat of terrorism worldwide.

8. 107.6 What is the CSSE of a Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF)? [ref. b, p. 5-4] The MEF CSSE is normally built around an FSSG. The FSSG also provides task-organized forces for smaller MAGTFs. (Figure 2-4 depicts the organization of the FSSG.) The FSSG includes a CE and an H&S battalion to exercise command and control and seven battalions, organized by function, that provide CSS to the MEF. Similar functions are grouped at the battalion level to facilitate command and control, coordination of support, training, and equipment maintenance. This system permits the FSSG commander to maintain centralized control over scarce CSS assets and at the same time facilitates the decentralized execution of CSS tasks. Furthermore, all battalions of the FSSG are structured to allow the FSSG commander to quickly and easily tailor task-organized CSSEs to support independently deployed or geographically dispersed elements of the MEF or smaller MAGTFs, as required. The FSSG is designed to satisfy the CSS requirements of a MEF that consists of one division and one MAW. Consequently, the FSSG will normally require augmentation to support a larger MEF.     Figure 2-4. Force Service Support Group Organization (Figure is not current – delete LSB and Motor Transport and add Transportation Support Battalion.)   Headquarters and Service Battalion. The H&S battalion provides command, control, and command support for the FSSG and services support to the MEF. The H&S battalion includes a headquarters company, a service company, a communications company, and a military police company. The headquarters company provides command and control, administration, and command support functions for the H&S battalion. The service company provides general support services support for the MEF in the areas of disbursing, postal, and exchange services; logistic information systems; and legal services. The communications company provides communications support to the FSSG and subordinate elements without organic communications capabilities. The Military Police (MP) company provides security support, including area circulation control, area security, enemy prisoner of war control, and law-and-order operations to the FSSG and the MEF.

9. 107.7 State the six functional areas of Combat Service Support (CSS).[ref. a, pp. 1-3, 1-4] Tactical logistics is normally categorized in six functional areas: Supply Maintenance Transportation General engineering Health services and Services. Marine Corps tactical-level logistics encompasses all of the logistic support activities performed at the tactical-level of war, to include combat service support. Tactical logistics is normally categorized in six functional areas: supply, maintenance, transportation, general engineering, health services, and services.

11. 107.8 Define War Reserve Material (WRM). [ref. e, ch. 2, p. 2-19; ref. f, p. 2-1] WRM is defined as mission-essential principal end items, secondary items, and munitions required to attain operational objectives in the scenarios authorized for sustainability planning and other stockage objectives approved for programming in the Defense Planning Guidance. WRM inventories are acquired during peacetime. Inventories are flexible, and they provide an expansion capability that can respond to spectrum regional contingencies, while minimizing investment in resources. War Materiel Support The MEF can deploy with sufficient equipment and supplies to support up to 60 days of contingency operations. This 60-day level of support provides reasonable assurance that the employed force can be self-sustaining until resupply channels are established, regardless of the area of operations or its logistics infrastructure. The MAGTF ACE can deploy with sufficient equipment and supplies to support up to 90 days of contingency operations. The ACE maintains various supplies and equipment to support aviation units in contingency response. This inherent sustainability of Marine Corps forces is made necessary by, and is characteristic of, naval expeditionary operations. The manner in which materiel support is planned and positioned considers both the organizational structure and employment doctrine of the MAGTF and the availability and responsiveness of access to stocks of war reserve materiel (WRM), which is maintained in accordance with DOD policy. WRM is defined as mission-essential principal end items, secondary items, and munitions required to attain operational objectives in the scenarios authorized for sustainability planning and other stockage objectives approved for programming in the Defense Planning Guidance. WRM inventories are acquired during peacetime. These inventories are flexible, and they provide an expansion capability that can respond to spectrum regional contingencies, while minimizing investment in resources. a. Sources The Marine Corps attempts to satisfy the WRM requirement by first using peacetime operating stocks possessed by the Marine Corps or the DOD. To satisfy remaining requirements, the Marine Corps relies on the U.S. industrial base and host nation support. Finally, the Marine Corps stocks assets to meet WRM requirements only when other, less resource-intensive alternatives prove infeasible. b. Functions WRM programs address two functions: requirements determination and sourcing. For planning, programming, and budgeting purposes, requirements determination identifies the types and quantities of materiel required to support planned operational objectives for scenarios. It also identifies other stockage objectives approved for programming in the Defense Printing Guidance. Materiel requirements serve as goals for funding. Sourcing is the process of identifying where the materiel needed to meet the requirement is held and who is responsible for providing that materiel. Actual stocks on hand or programming objectives (the amount of materiel to be procured based on approved funding) should not be confused with requirements. The actual attainment of materiel is affected by such competing goals as cost reduction, inventory reduction, and stock rotation.   War Reserves a. War Reserve Materiel Requirement (WRMR). The WRMR represents the total requirement of War Reserve Materiel (WRM) to sustain forces in combat based on the requirements of the individual MEF units committed to distinct major regional contingencies. For these specific MAGTFs, the sustainment requirements for on hand supplies could vary by as much as 60 days per MEF. This requirement is based on Class VII principal end items (PEIs), mission-essential Class IV construction and fortification material, Class V ammunition, and OPLAN specific guidance received from the supported commander in chief (CINC). b. The Marine Corps War Reserve Program. War reserves today not only represent sustainment stocks (supplies needed to support a particular operation), but the entire comprehensive sum of materiel needed to train, equip, and sustain our forces in their daily operations. WRM stocks consist of the peacetime operating stocks (POS), training stocks (TRNG), core war reserves (CWR), and the contingency retention war reserves (CRWR). This breakdown is illustrated in figure 2-1. (1) Peacetime Operating Stocks (POS). POS are everyday Marine Corps operating supplies. The major/PEIs and secondary items of POS are allocated to the various tables of equipment (T/Es) (FMF and supporting establishment). T/Es represent the table of authorized material (TAM). The TAM consists of three types: I – Required Items; II - Local Allowances; and III – Environmental Items. Type I are required items such as 782 gear and weapons. Type II are local allowances authorized by commanders such as encampment and garrison equipment allowances to be on hand for unit/commands to support their assigned missions. Selected units are also authorized TAM Type III environmental items such as cold weather, desert, and tropical equipment. A more complete discussion on various T/E allowances and their maintenance can be found in MCO 4400.150 (Consumer Level Supply Policy Manual) and MCO 4400.172 (T/E Allowance Change Procedures). (2) Training Stocks. Training stocks are those secondary consumable items (normally classes I, II, V [W], and IX) that are procured to support the programmed annual training requirements of the Marine Corps. Upon crisis or mobilization, the training stocks will be used to support the increased training levels of active/ reserve units prior to their deployment.

12. 107.9 Discuss the differences between echelons of maintenance performed at organizational and intermediate ground equipment maintenance.[ref. a, pp. 5-12 thru 5-14] Maintenance involves those actions taken to retain materiel or restore it to serviceable condition. Ground Maintenance Support Operations a. Maintenance During Amphibious Assault b. Maintenance During Transition Periods c. Maintenance During Subsequent Operations d. Organizational Maintenance e. Intermediate Maintenance f. Recovery, Evacuation, and Repair Cycle Maintenance involves those actions taken to retain materiel or restore it to serviceable condition. While the purpose and functions of equipment maintenance are universally applicable, the Marine Corps has developed applications for the support of ground-common and aviation-unique equipment. This section describes maintenance support for the levels, echelons, and subfunctions described in chapter 1. Ground Maintenance Support Operations This section discusses the maintenance tactics, techniques, and procedures; intermediate and organizational maintenance operations; and the recovery, evacuation, and repair cycle for ground maintenance support. The maintenance process is followed during the amphibious assault, transition period, and subsequent operations ashore. See figure 5-9, page 5-14. a. Maintenance During Amphibious Assault Assault force elements land with a few organizational maintenance personnel. The majority of the organizational maintenance capability lands in nonscheduled waves. Once the first assault waves are ashore, the LFSP provides the only significant maintenance capability. Although the LFSP has limited recovery, evacuation, and repair capabilities, it has a small block of critical repair parts tailored to match the quantity and type of equipment in the assault waves. The LFSP replaces components and assemblies rather than repairing them. It uses selective interchange to offset the limited depth and breadth of repair parts. One of the first tasks of the LFSP maintenance detachment is to establish maintenance and salvage collection points. The LFSP must develop an aggressive recovery and evacuation plan because extensively damaged items may provide repair parts for other essential items. Damaged equipment should be placed on resupply vehicles returning to the LFSP. Assault elements should abandon equipment only when the tactical situation prevents recovery. When unable to recover equipment, units should report the location of the item to the LFSP for later recovery and evacuation. b. Maintenance During Transition Periods When the tactical situation ashore stabilizes, the MAGTF commander lands nonscheduled units such as unit trains with the organizational maintenance elements. As the assault units’ organizational maintenance capability expands, the LFSP shifts its efforts to intermediate maintenance. Assault units normally position their trains near the LFSP to permit mutual support, to avoid duplication of facilities, and to reduce the transportation burden. c. Maintenance During Subsequent Operations When appropriate, the MAGTF commander lands the additional CSSE units. Once the CSSE is established ashore, the MAGTF commander disestablishes the LFSP. After the AFOE arrives, the CSSE commander reaches full maintenance capability. When the maintenance unit cannot repair an item, it evacuates the item to the next higher level. d. Organizational Maintenance Units owning equipment have organizational maintenance responsibilities. Proper maintenance is essential to sustain combat operations. The maintenance contact team is the centerpiece of organizational maintenance. (1) Maintenance Contact Team Capabilities. The maintenance contact team consists of organizational maintenance repairmen with tools, test equipment, and critical, high-usage repair parts. These repairmen inspect, diagnose, classify, and repair equipment at forward sites. In addition, the maintenance contact team may include communications, engineer, motor transport, or ordnance repair personnel. The logistics officer determines the exact number of Marines and mix of skills in maintenance contact teams and positions them in the appropriate train. When using combat trains, maintenance contact teams are forward where they are more responsive to the tactical unit. If deployed with a unit train, maintenance contact teams are farther to the rear. (2) Maintenance Contact Team Operations. Maintenance contact teams (MCTs) conduct recovery, evacuation, and repair. They determine whether an item is reparable at the recovery site. The MCT either fixes the item, requests parts and an intermediate level maintenance support team (MST) from the CSSE, or supervises the item evacuation. Figure 5-9 shows relationships between various maintenance agencies. The GCE collection points represent the battalion and regimental trains. e. Intermediate Maintenance The three elements of an intermediate maintenance concept are the MST, the CSSE forward maintenance detachment, and the FSSG intermediate maintenance activity (IMA). (1) Maintenance Support Team. The MST is an intermediate maintenance version of the MCT. The MST has intermediate maintenance repairmen with tools, test equipment, repair parts, and likely a wrecker or maintenance vehicle. These repairmen inspect, diagnose, classify, and repair equipment at forward sites. The CSSE operations officer determines the number of Marines and mix of skills per team. Normally, MSTs move forward to repair a specific item of equipment. This technique allows the MST to draw the needed parts and tools before moving based on input from the MCT. (2) CSSE Forward Maintenance Detachment. The CSSE forward maintenance detachment is the element of a CSSD that operates the maintenance facilities and collection points far forward. The forward support maintenance detachment l Evacuates inoperable equipment from supported units’ collection points. l Performs intermediate maintenance within its capabilities. l Provides repairmen, tools, and test equipment to maintenance support teams. (3) FSSG IMA. The FSSG IMA provides robust principal end item repair and component rebuild support to the MEF. The FSSG commander establishes a centralized IMA in the force combat service support area (FCSSA) to perform complex, time-consuming maintenance activities during sustained operations ashore, such as Desert Shield/Desert Storm. The CSSE commander forms multiple on-call MSTs and, during surge periods, sends them forward either to assist MCTs or to augment the CSSE forward maintenance detachments. f. Recovery, Evacuation, and Repair Cycle These capabilities differ during the various phases of combat operations and increase as more of the MAGTF lands. See appendix D for a depiction of the maintenance recovery, evacuation, and repair cycle during combat. (1) Recovery Responsibility. As much as capability and the tactical situation allows, the owning units are responsible for retrieving immobile, inoperative, or abandoned materiel. They move recovered equipment to a maintenance collection point or a main supply route. (2) Evacuation. If neither the owning unit nor the CSSE can repair a recovered item, the CSSE evacuates it. If the MAGTF commander authorizes selective interchange, the CSSE may remove and use parts before evacuating an item. The CSSE evacuates recovered equipment directly to a designated repair or disposal agency. (3) Nonreparable Equipment. If materiel is in danger of capture, the owning unit should recover all salvageable parts and components and destroy the remaining equipment. (4) Recovery Considerations. Commanders should closely monitor and control recovery and evacuation operations. Logistics officers must establish recovery and evacuation priorities and carefully allocate personnel and equipment to these operations. For example, combat vehicles, weapons, and weapons’ platforms often have a higher recovery priority than other items. Also, the extent of damage affects recovery priority. When the unit must recover two or more of the same item, the item requiring the least repairs should be recovered first. The following is a suggested recovery priorities list: l Items immobilized by terrain. l Items with failed or damaged components that require little repair. l Damaged items that require significant expenditure of recovery and repair effort to return them to operation. l Contaminated items that require significant recovery, repair, and decontamination effort. l Salvageable items. l Enemy materiel. (5) Positioning. Combat and combat support unit commanders should position their recovery capability forward. As a rule, the recovery capability consists of personnel and equipment organized in maintenance contact teams. The CSSE commanders distribute maintenance assets to achieve a balance between economy and responsiveness. Maintenance involves those actions taken to retain materiel or restore it to serviceable condition. While the purpose and functions of equipment maintenance are universally applicable, the Marine Corps has developed applications for the support of ground-common and aviation-unique equipment. This section describes maintenance support for the levels, echelons, and subfunctions described in chapter 1. Ground Maintenance Support Operations This section discusses the maintenance tactics, techniques, and procedures; intermediate and organizational maintenance operations; and the recovery, evacuation, and repair cycle for ground maintenance support. The maintenance process is followed during the amphibious assault, transition period, and subsequent operations ashore. See figure 5-9, page 5-14. a. Maintenance During Amphibious Assault Assault force elements land with a few organizational maintenance personnel. The majority of the organizational maintenance capability lands in nonscheduled waves. Once the first assault waves are ashore, the LFSP provides the only significant maintenance capability. Although the LFSP has limited recovery, evacuation, and repair capabilities, it has a small block of critical repair parts tailored to match the quantity and type of equipment in the assault waves. The LFSP replaces components and assemblies rather than repairing them. It uses selective interchange to offset the limited depth and breadth of repair parts. One of the first tasks of the LFSP maintenance detachment is to establish maintenance and salvage collection points. The LFSP must develop an aggressive recovery and evacuation plan because extensively damaged items may provide repair parts for other essential items. Damaged equipment should be placed on resupply vehicles returning to the LFSP. Assault elements should abandon equipment only when the tactical situation prevents recovery. When unable to recover equipment, units should report the location of the item to the LFSP for later recovery and evacuation. b. Maintenance During Transition Periods When the tactical situation ashore stabilizes, the MAGTF commander lands nonscheduled units such as unit trains with the organizational maintenance elements. As the assault units’ organizational maintenance capability expands, the LFSP shifts its efforts to intermediate maintenance. Assault units normally position their trains near the LFSP to permit mutual support, to avoid duplication of facilities, and to reduce the transportation burden. c. Maintenance During Subsequent Operations When appropriate, the MAGTF commander lands the additional CSSE units. Once the CSSE is established ashore, the MAGTF commander disestablishes the LFSP. After the AFOE arrives, the CSSE commander reaches full maintenance capability. When the maintenance unit cannot repair an item, it evacuates the item to the next higher level. d. Organizational Maintenance Units owning equipment have organizational maintenance responsibilities. Proper maintenance is essential to sustain combat operations. The maintenance contact team is the centerpiece of organizational maintenance. (1) Maintenance Contact Team Capabilities. The maintenance contact team consists of organizational maintenance repairmen with tools, test equipment, and critical, high-usage repair parts. These repairmen inspect, diagnose, classify, and repair equipment at forward sites. In addition, the maintenance contact team may include communications, engineer, motor transport, or ordnance repair personnel. The logistics officer determines the exact number of Marines and mix of skills in maintenance contact teams and positions them in the appropriate train. When using combat trains, maintenance contact teams are forward where they are more responsive to the tactical unit. If deployed with a unit train, maintenance contact teams are farther to the rear. (2) Maintenance Contact Team Operations. Maintenance contact teams (MCTs) conduct recovery, evacuation, and repair. They determine whether an item is reparable at the recovery site. The MCT either fixes the item, requests parts and an intermediate level maintenance support team (MST) from the CSSE, or supervises the item evacuation. Figure 5-9 shows relationships between various maintenance agencies. The GCE collection points represent the battalion and regimental trains. e. Intermediate Maintenance The three elements of an intermediate maintenance concept are the MST, the CSSE forward maintenance detachment, and the FSSG intermediate maintenance activity (IMA). (1) Maintenance Support Team. The MST is an intermediate maintenance version of the MCT. The MST has intermediate maintenance repairmen with tools, test equipment, repair parts, and likely a wrecker or maintenance vehicle. These repairmen inspect, diagnose, classify, and repair equipment at forward sites. The CSSE operations officer determines the number of Marines and mix of skills per team. Normally, MSTs move forward to repair a specific item of equipment. This technique allows the MST to draw the needed parts and tools before moving based on input from the MCT. (2) CSSE Forward Maintenance Detachment. The CSSE forward maintenance detachment is the element of a CSSD that operates the maintenance facilities and collection points far forward. The forward support maintenance detachment l Evacuates inoperable equipment from supported units’ collection points. l Performs intermediate maintenance within its capabilities. l Provides repairmen, tools, and test equipment to maintenance support teams. (3) FSSG IMA. The FSSG IMA provides robust principal end item repair and component rebuild support to the MEF. The FSSG commander establishes a centralized IMA in the force combat service support area (FCSSA) to perform complex, time-consuming maintenance activities during sustained operations ashore, such as Desert Shield/Desert Storm. The CSSE commander forms multiple on-call MSTs and, during surge periods, sends them forward either to assist MCTs or to augment the CSSE forward maintenance detachments. f. Recovery, Evacuation, and Repair Cycle These capabilities differ during the various phases of combat operations and increase as more of the MAGTF lands. See appendix D for a depiction of the maintenance recovery, evacuation, and repair cycle during combat. (1) Recovery Responsibility. As much as capability and the tactical situation allows, the owning units are responsible for retrieving immobile, inoperative, or abandoned materiel. They move recovered equipment to a maintenance collection point or a main supply route. (2) Evacuation. If neither the owning unit nor the CSSE can repair a recovered item, the CSSE evacuates it. If the MAGTF commander authorizes selective interchange, the CSSE may remove and use parts before evacuating an item. The CSSE evacuates recovered equipment directly to a designated repair or disposal agency. (3) Nonreparable Equipment. If materiel is in danger of capture, the owning unit should recover all salvageable parts and components and destroy the remaining equipment. (4) Recovery Considerations. Commanders should closely monitor and control recovery and evacuation operations. Logistics officers must establish recovery and evacuation priorities and carefully allocate personnel and equipment to these operations. For example, combat vehicles, weapons, and weapons’ platforms often have a higher recovery priority than other items. Also, the extent of damage affects recovery priority. When the unit must recover two or more of the same item, the item requiring the least repairs should be recovered first. The following is a suggested recovery priorities list: l Items immobilized by terrain. l Items with failed or damaged components that require little repair. l Damaged items that require significant expenditure of recovery and repair effort to return them to operation. l Contaminated items that require significant recovery, repair, and decontamination effort. l Salvageable items. l Enemy materiel. (5) Positioning. Combat and combat support unit commanders should position their recovery capability forward. As a rule, the recovery capability consists of personnel and equipment organized in maintenance contact teams. The CSSE commanders distribute maintenance assets to achieve a balance between economy and responsiveness.

25. 107.11 Explain the CSS capability of the Maritime Preposition Force (MPF).[ref. d, pp. 5-10 thru 5-12] A CSSE (MLC if established) will be assigned as the MARFOR’s executive agent for regeneration. Task-organized with personnel from the theater and continental United States (CONUS), CSSE is focused on the regeneration of the MPF. The CSSE is responsible for early planning, CSSA establishment, and MPE/S maintenance during MAGTF operations. Maritime Pre-positioning Force Operations MPF is a capability for expeditious force closure in theaters of operations bordering the sea. MPF and amphibious operations are complementary capabilities. The Marine Corps and the Navy have developed tactics, techniques, and procedures procedures for MPF force closure and regeneration operations. These procedures are published in Naval Warfare Publication (NWP) 22-10/Fleet Marine Force Manual 1-5, Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) Operations.   Arrival and Assembly Arrival and assembly operations occur in a permissive or uncertain environment and terminate when the MAGTF commander reports that the MPF MEB is combat ready. Operations occur in an AAA. The AAA is an administrative area that includes airfields, port facilities, beaches, transportation, and distribution networks. An establishing authority (e.g., CINC, JFC, Service component commander, or a subordinate naval commander) designates an AAA. The AAOG controls arrival and assembly operations through a network of subordinate control organizations. Arrival and Assembly Operations Group The AAOG is a task-organized group from the MPF MAGTF CE that coordinates and controls arrival and assembly operations. It consists of personnel from all MAGTF elements plus liaison from the Navy support element. The AAOG’s subordinate elements are the landing force support party (LFSP), MCC, and AAOEs. The AAOG monitors the airflow of the fly-in echelon into the AAA; coordinates the throughput and distribution of equipment and supplies from the MPSs to the unit assembly areas; and provides initial C2 functions for the MAGTF in the AAA. Landing Force Support Party The LFSP controls throughput of personnel and MPE/S at theater ports, beaches, and airfields. In addition, the LFSP facilitates CSS ashore during ship-to-shore movement in amphibious operations. For MPF operations, the LFSP has four elements: POG, BOG, an arrival/departure airfield control group (A/DACG), and an MCC. Port Operations Group. A task-organized group of Navy cargo-handling forces from the BSSG, the POG— l Prepares the port before the arrival of the MPF. l Unloads ships. l Controls the throughput of offloaded supplies and equipment. Beach Operations Group. The BOG is a task organized group from the Navy support element and the BSSG. The BOG is responsible for preparing the beach before the arrival of the MPSRON and the throughput of supplies and equipment after the ships are offloaded. Arrival/Departure Airfield Control Group. The A/DACG is responsible for controlling and coordinating the off-load and onload of airfield units and equipment and providing limited CSS to those units. Task-organized around a nucleus provided by the landing support element of the BSSG, A/DACG is structured and manned to provide continuous operations support for multiple aircraft. Movement Control Center. The MCC is the agency that plans, routes, schedules, and controls personnel and equipment movements over LOC. In MPF operations at ports, airfields, and/or beaches, the MCC forms convoys containing MPE/S and personnel and dispatches them to the AAOEs. Arrival and Assembly Operations Element. Established by each element of the MAGTF and Navy support element, the AAOE receives MPE/S and distributes the equipment to units of the MAGTF. Marine Corps Forces The MARFOR has extensive responsibilities for regenerating an MPF. One of the main participants in the regenerating process, MARFOR controls the CSSD and TAAT, recommends the deferment of the regeneration in the theater of operations, and decides to load the MPF based on conditions in theater. The MARFOR has the following planning actions and responsibilities for regenerating the MPF: l Recommend the primary regeneration site to the establishing authority. l Participate in drafting applicable orders, plans, and letters of instruction. l Publish guidance for the return of MPE/S, to include shipping containers, original packaging, dunnage, and the assignment of designated staging areas. l Review the redeployment plan for conflict with the regeneration plan.

Technical Assistance Advisory Team The TAAT is comprised of military and civilian personnel from MCLBs to provide a nucleus of expertise for the MPF regeneration. Normally, personnel from BIC staff the TAAT and are either OPCON or tactical control to the MARFOR. Combat Service Support Element A CSSE (MLC if established) will be assigned as the MARFOR’s executive agent for regeneration. Task-organized with personnel from the theater and continental United States (CONUS), CSSE is focused on the regeneration of the MPF. The CSSE is responsible for early planning, CSSA establishment, and MPE/S maintenance during MAGTF operations. Navy Support Element During MPF regeneration, Navy support element supplies and equipment are regenerated. The Navy support element is composed of naval beach group staff and subordinate unit personnel, a detachment of Navy cargo-handling personnel, and other Navy capabilities, as required. The regeneration of the Navy support element should be accomplished with assistance from the NCC in cooperation with the MARFOR.   Logistic Movement Control Center The LMCC is operated by the FSSG/CSSE. It reports to the FMCC and coordinates the execution of movement based on FMCC priorities. The LMCC provides transportation, transportation scheduling, MHE, and other support to units before they move. It coordinates transportation and MHE requirements with tactical units, other Services, and/or the host nation. Maritime Pre-positioning Force Operations MPF is a capability for expeditious force closure in theaters of operations bordering the sea. MPF and amphibious operations are complementary capabilities. The Marine Corps and the Navy have developed tactics, techniques, and procedures procedures for MPF force closure and regeneration operations. These procedures are published in Naval Warfare Publication (NWP) 22-10/Fleet Marine Force Manual 1-5, Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) Operations.   Arrival and Assembly Arrival and assembly operations occur in a permissive or uncertain environment and terminate when the MAGTF commander reports that the MPF MEB is combat ready. Operations occur in an AAA. The AAA is an administrative area that includes airfields, port facilities, beaches, transportation, and distribution networks. An establishing authority (e.g., CINC, JFC, Service component commander, or a subordinate naval commander) designates an AAA. The AAOG controls arrival and assembly operations through a network of subordinate control organizations. Arrival and Assembly Operations Group The AAOG is a task-organized group from the MPF MAGTF CE that coordinates and controls arrival and assembly operations. It consists of personnel from all MAGTF elements plus liaison from the Navy support element. The AAOG’s subordinate elements are the landing force support party (LFSP), MCC, and AAOEs. The AAOG monitors the airflow of the fly-in echelon into the AAA; coordinates the throughput and distribution of equipment and supplies from the MPSs to the unit assembly areas; and provides initial C2 functions for the MAGTF in the AAA. Landing Force Support Party The LFSP controls throughput of personnel and MPE/S at theater ports, beaches, and airfields. In addition, the LFSP facilitates CSS ashore during ship-to-shore movement in amphibious operations. For MPF operations, the LFSP has four elements: POG, BOG, an arrival/departure airfield control group (A/DACG), and an MCC. Port Operations Group. A task-organized group of Navy cargo-handling forces from the BSSG, the POG— l Prepares the port before the arrival of the MPF. l Unloads ships. l Controls the throughput of offloaded supplies and equipment. Beach Operations Group. The BOG is a task organized group from the Navy support element and the BSSG. The BOG is responsible for preparing the beach before the arrival of the MPSRON and the throughput of supplies and equipment after the ships are offloaded. Arrival/Departure Airfield Control Group. The A/DACG is responsible for controlling and coordinating the off-load and onload of airfield units and equipment and providing limited CSS to those units. Task-organized around a nucleus provided by the landing support element of the BSSG, A/DACG is structured and manned to provide continuous operations support for multiple aircraft. Movement Control Center. The MCC is the agency that plans, routes, schedules, and controls personnel and equipment movements over LOC. In MPF operations at ports, airfields, and/or beaches, the MCC forms convoys containing MPE/S and personnel and dispatches them to the AAOEs. Arrival and Assembly Operations Element. Established by each element of the MAGTF and Navy support element, the AAOE receives MPE/S and distributes the equipment to units of the MAGTF. Marine Corps Forces The MARFOR has extensive responsibilities for regenerating an MPF. One of the main participants in the regenerating process, MARFOR controls the CSSD and TAAT, recommends the deferment of the regeneration in the theater of operations, and decides to load the MPF based on conditions in theater. The MARFOR has the following planning actions and responsibilities for regenerating the MPF: l Recommend the primary regeneration site to the establishing authority. l Participate in drafting applicable orders, plans, and letters of instruction. l Publish guidance for the return of MPE/S, to include shipping containers, original packaging, dunnage, and the assignment of designated staging areas. l Review the redeployment plan for conflict with the regeneration plan.
