military operations derived from the doctrine of
maneuver warfare to plan and execute operations - 6 components
- receipt of mission
- mission analysis - review, analyze orders,
guidance, and other information provided by
higher headquarters and produce a unit mission
statement - CAT meets
- Battle Staff Orientation
- Commanders guidance
41- Course of action (COA) development - develop
several COAs and examine them to ensure that they
are suitable, feasible, varied, and complete with
respect to current/anticipated situation - COA analysis - wargaming to identify strengths
and weaknesses of each COA - COA comparison and decision - commanders
selection of COA most likely to accomplish
mission - Orders development - plans/order developed to
direct the actions of the unit - Transition - hand over plan/order
- CONFIRMATION BRIEF

strategic airlift requirements and global
response time - Ready for combat 7-10 days
- Sustained operations for 30 days
47Three Types of MAGTFs
- MEU
- Smallest of the units
- Sustain 15 days ashore

56Naval Surface Fire Support
- two types of missions
- direct support ship delivers prearranged and
answers call for fire of the supported unit - calls requested and adjusted by shore fire
control party spotter - each assault battalion is normally assigned at
least one direct support ship - general support fires from ship directed by
NGLO of unit being supported - provide additional fire support to commanders at
echelons above battalion without requesting it
from higher echelons
57Capabilities of NSFS
- mobility - maneuver for most favorable gun-target
line - rates of fire - large volume delivered in short
period of time - fire control equipment - automated fire control
permits accurate fire - MK86 Gunfire Control System
- MK34 Gun Weapon System
- ammunition variety - different types of
projectiles, charges and fuses for optimum attack
combination - high initial velocity and flat trajectory -
direct fire role for penetration and destruction
of material targets
