  1. Limited Objective Experiment 3 Major Paul Wilson Plans Branch Sea Viking Division

  2. DO Concept • DO is not about teams, dispersion, clandestine operations, or precision fires • DO is about: • Individual Marines • Better trained, educated and equipped • Marine small units • Better trained, led, and equipped • Decentralized decision making and execution • Optimizing for Irregular Warfare and the GWOT

  3. DO in Afghanistan • Trained teams/units have demonstrated their value in “real world operations” • 1st Platoon, Bravo Company, 1st Battalion 3rd Marines • Coordinated air strike in support of convoy under attack • Distributed teams operated in a larger battle-space than their un-enhanced counterparts • Controlling Joint Air Strikes • Operating for “weeks” in the field during Operation Anaconda

  4. Approach to Capability Development - LOE 1 & 2 have focused on SUET and equipment enhancement in weapons and communication. C2ISR LOE 1 & 2 Fires LOE 3 LOE 4 Comm Logs • LOE 3 will focus on the LCE. Enhancement to training, organizing, and equipping the LCE. • LOE 4 will continue LOE 3 program development coupled with company level C4ISR (next generation architecture)

  5. Logistics Combat ElementDO Sustainment Workshop, 8-9 Feb 2006 • What are the ramifications of a DO Platoon remaining beyond its logistics culminating point? • How would we sustain a DO Platoon that is foot mobile? Motorized? • Given the concept of DO that stresses the geographical dispersion of small units, what can the MSSG do to tailor the CSS to the Marine NCO and below? • Medevac considerations • Maintenance and recovery plan of vehicles • Common Skills Training/Individual Training Standards

  6. Road Ahead • Log-SUET (Logistics Small Unit Enhancement Training) • Supply Distribution LTAs 1&2 • Logistics Technology LTAs 1&2 • Limited Objective Experiment 3

  7. Limited Objective Experiment 3 • Supported Campaign Objectives • Continued development of capabilities in support of the emerging DO concept and transformation effort. Event Description Event Objective: 1. Assess solutions to the distribution of material to units operating per the emerging concept of DO. 2. Assess the impact of the training, equipment and organization of a LCE achieved as a result of CSSUET. Format/Activities: Live force on force simulated combat operations Participants: MCWL TECOM I MEF I&L DARPA/ONR* Date: 10-28 Sept 2007 Location: Camp Pendleton CA or MCAGCC 29 Palms CA Transition Goal and Product Training, organization and equipment recommendations to MCDC and MCSC.
