  1. EXPEDITIONARY MANEUVER WARFARE

  2. Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare • What is Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare? • New capstone concept for the Marine Corps • Marine Corps Strategy 21 – 21st century warfare • Combines the U.S. Marine Corps: • Maneuver warfare philosophy • Expeditionary heritage • Organization (MAGTF) • Forward Deployed • Rapid build up of combat power in hostile areas

  3. IWO JIMA MARATHON OIF What does this mean for you? • EMW is the Marine Corps Capstone Concept for the 21st Century. • EMW is the evolution of amphibious operations from an attrition-style of amphibious operations to a maneuver-style of expeditionary operations.

  4. Amphibious Operations Attrition versus Maneuver • Attrition Style • Required seizure and build-up of a beach head prior to focusing on the objective • Maneuver Style • Uses a sea base to precisely attack objectives from over the horizon, using the sea and air as maneuver space • Treats the shore as a phaseline, not the objective itself

  5. Carrier Battle Group (old) • Carrier Battle Group • Air Wing • Aircraft Carrier • Surface Combatants • Submarines

  6. Amphibious Task Force (old) CE: HQ, 26th MEU • Amphibious Task Force • Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) • Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) GCE: BLT 2/8 ACE: HMM-162 + CSSE: MSSG-26

  7. Expeditionary Strike Group (new) MEU & ARG + Surface Combatants + Submarines

  8. EMW Capabilities • Quickly respond to threats in littoral areas around the world • Provide robust forcible entry capabilities without the reliance on host-nation support • Provide powerful and precise projection of power ashore without the vulnerable build-up of command and control and logistics posture ashore.

  9. Key Concepts of Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare • Sea Basing • Operational Maneuver from the Sea (OMFTS) • Over the Horizon (OTH) • Ship to Objective Maneuvering (STOM)

  10. Sea Basing • A base from which power is projected • Use the sea for maneuver space. It also provides: • Security • Assembly Area • Forward-deployed operating base • The stand off distance of the naval ships allows for over the horizon operations and surprise. • Sea based logistics • Sea-based command and control and logistics capabilities. • Global Command and Control (C2) • Navy provides the security and defense.

  11. Over the Horizon (OTH) • Launch operations from over the horizon • Out of enemy sight • Surprise, deception, maneuver, force protection • Surprise enemy forces with the size and location of the assault. • Use the sea as maneuver space

  12. Operational Maneuver from the Sea (OMFTS) • Project power ashore • Maneuver • OMFTS: • Focuses on operational objectives • Uses the sea as maneuver space • Generates tempo and momentum • Exploits gaps, avoids surfaces • Emphasizes intelligence, deception, and flexibility

  13. Key EMW Concepts – Ship to Objective Maneuver (STOM) • Launch precise attacks on objectives directly from the sea base. • No need to seize or build-up a beachhead. • Use the sea and air as a maneuver space. • Exploit enemy weakness and gaps through the use of up-to-date intelligence and maneuver. • Support maneuver to objectives with fires from naval gun fire support and close air support.

  14. Ship to Objective Maneuver (STOM) Traditional • Assault • Secure beach head • Use beach head for follow-on forces and supplies • Assault to objective

  15. Ship to Objective Maneuver (STOM) Future (EMW) • Bypass beachhead • Focus straight on objective • Avoid build up of logistics ashore

  16. Technology to Support EMW • New technologies required to support EMW • Speed • Range • Versatility • Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle • MV-22 Osprey • High Speed Vessel (HSV) • Joint Strike Fighter

  17. MV-22 Osprey • Tilt-rotor prop plane • Over the Horizon • Compare MV-22CH-46 • Speed 240 kts 145 kts • Range 200nm 132 nm • Load 15K lbs 4K lbs • Troops 24 (CL) 14 (CL)

  18. High Speed Vehicle (HSV) • Naval ship to maneuver Marines and supplies on the water, to and from land/ship bases • Capabilities • 260 Marine Capacity • Deck for up to 20 vehicles • Landing platform for 2 aircraft • Speed • Shallow Draft • Versatility

  19. Joint Strike Fighter (VSTOL) • Technologically advance • VSTOL – Vertical/Short Take Off and Landing • To replace the AV-8B & FA-18 D/E • Survivability, Lethality, Supportability, Affordability

  20. MPFF Ships • Marry Marines with equipment at sea • Selective Offload • Offload at Sea • Helo platforms • Well-decks
