Marine Corps Aviation: It's Time to Strengthen the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU).


Book Description

The author asserts that in the next ten to fifteen years the probability of employing the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) in limited conflicts on behalf of United States foreign policy interests will increase. Further, that the threat posed by likely enemies is sophisticated enough to require enhanced combat capability for the MEU to be an effective deterrent. The author proposes a solution to this problem with the assignment to the MEU of Marine Corps tactical fixed-wing aircraft and command and control assets in a composite for structure. This concept of employment of existing aviation assets is within the context of current Marine Corps doctrine but is not normally applied at the MEU level of operations.
