To better prepare battalions for large scale combat operations, we’re working on sending more battalion commanders to combat training centers so they can be leaders in coordinating installation logistics for supporting power projection e.g. equipping Soldiers as they deploy.
Distributed Operations concept supplements traditional sea and land basing options with “mobile forward arming and refueling points” for resupply mid-mission. A separate mobile distribution site would serve as the location for Marines on surface connectors or host nation forces to stage fuel and weapons that will be brought to the mobile forward arming and refueling points. Importantly, all these sites are considered “mobile” and are intended to maintain elements of “deception and decoy” – in keeping with the idea that the aircraft are supposed to be distributed and difficult to find and target.
