Enhanced MAGTF Operations- USMC's Small Unit Future

[COMMAR]

So it did not have this ability before? Really?

MAGTFs demonstrated the ability on many occasions as shown, but it wasn't standardized.

This studied how to Leverage the Power of the MAGTF to support Ops fr/the BN down to the Squad for use in Crisis Response & Low Intensity Conflict. W/out losing the ability to reconstitute to perform HIC.

So yes they have sent Coy even Plt & smaller elements to conduct various LIC/CR missions in the past. But No they did not have anything like this ability in past b/c they could optimize the Leverage of the MAGTF like the can now.

Its like doing everything thru Algebra & then discovering calculus, its makes operations much more efficient.


Also to be a MAGTF it would have to self-contained for sustained periods, which was not the case until now, otherwise it would be considered a Landing Team.
