00:00:04,850 --> 00:00:07,401
- [Narrator] Advances in
censors, communications,

2
00:00:07,401 --> 00:00:09,770
and weapon systems technology

3
00:00:09,770 --> 00:00:11,840
have blurred the distinction between

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,020
sea and land operations.

5
00:00:14,020 --> 00:00:16,273
In response to these
advanced capabilities,

6
00:00:16,273 --> 00:00:19,350
the Navy and Marine Corps
operational approach

7
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:23,270
must adapt to succeed in
the Littoral Battlespace.

8
00:00:23,270 --> 00:00:26,237
Joint doctrine states,
"The littoral is comprised

9
00:00:26,237 --> 00:00:29,350
"of two segments: seaward and landward."

10
00:00:29,350 --> 00:00:32,750
Seaward, the area from the
open ocean to the shore,

11
00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:36,670
must be controlled to support
amphibious operations.

12
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:39,430
Landward, the area inland from the shore,

13
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:42,940
must be supported and defended
directly from the sea.

14
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:45,480
Emerging threats place a renewed emphasis

15
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:48,040
on gaining or maintaining sea control

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,490
by employing sea and land-based forces.

17
00:00:51,490 --> 00:00:54,480
A Littoral Operation in
a Contested Environment

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,840
employs Navy-Marine Corps
concepts and capabilities

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,330
to achieve mission success.

20
00:01:00,330 --> 00:01:02,450
A LOCE requires integration

21
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:05,213
of existing and emerging technologies.

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,790
Island Marauder 2019 is a demonstration

23
00:01:09,790 --> 00:01:12,650
of the technical integration of C2 systems

24
00:01:12,650 --> 00:01:14,340
covering the war-fighting functions

25
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:17,659
of maneuver, fires, intelligence, cyber,

26
00:01:17,659 --> 00:01:20,130
and force protection.

27
00:01:20,130 --> 00:01:23,540
Marines will conduct a Theater
Security Cooperation mission

28
00:01:23,540 --> 00:01:25,620
with host nation military forces

29
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:28,120
to deter Indolaysian
aggression threatening

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,510
freedom of navigation
in international waters.

31
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:33,430
The challenge for Island Marauder is

32
00:01:33,430 --> 00:01:35,542
to execute digital command and control

33
00:01:35,542 --> 00:01:38,800
that incorporates advanced
war-fighting technologies

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,633
and systems.

35
00:01:39,633 --> 00:01:42,460
This provides commanders the opportunity

36
00:01:42,460 --> 00:01:46,180
to evaluate operations in
a Littoral Battlespace.

37
00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:50,223
Now, standby for the Island
Marauder 2019 mission brief.

38
00:01:52,170 --> 00:01:54,090
The objectives of this mission are

39
00:01:54,090 --> 00:01:56,795
to re-establish control
of compromised islands

40
00:01:56,795 --> 00:02:01,086
and regain freedom of
air and sea navigation.

41
00:02:01,086 --> 00:02:04,630
Signal intelligence
indicates the Indolaysians

42
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:07,172
have deployed troops,
set up surface-to-air

43
00:02:07,172 --> 00:02:09,910
and anti-ship cruise missiles,

44
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:12,378
and restricted all shipping and air travel

45
00:02:12,378 --> 00:02:14,860
in the Indolaysian Sea.

46
00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:16,700
These actions are a direct threat

47
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:19,283
to sea lanes of
communication in the region.

48
00:02:19,283 --> 00:02:23,100
Hostile force activities and
engagements are designated

49
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:25,710
as a Commander's Critical
Information Requirement.

50
00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:30,420
In the event of a CCIR, the
commander's set condition

51
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:33,193
is to destroy enemy targets immediately.

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,670
Units will use Advanced Field
Artillery Tactical Data System

53
00:02:38,670 --> 00:02:40,330
to coordinate precision

54
00:02:40,330 --> 00:02:43,210
High Mobility Artillery
Rocket System Strikes

55
00:02:43,210 --> 00:02:46,053
in order to deter or destroy the threat.

56
00:02:47,260 --> 00:02:50,123
Marines will assault using
rotary wing aircraft.

57
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,170
Units will use NOTM-UTVs to maintain

58
00:02:54,170 --> 00:02:57,800
digital C2 capability while on the move.

59
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,530
The JTCW displays and
manages the COP through C2PC

60
00:03:02,530 --> 00:03:05,723
and provides time-sensitive
tactical information.

61
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:09,270
Units will use the MAGTF Common Handheld,

62
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:12,050
Target Handoff System Version 2,

63
00:03:12,050 --> 00:03:15,898
and Link 16 Radios to provide
position location information

64
00:03:15,898 --> 00:03:18,833
in Variable Message Format to the COP.

65
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,660
The MCH is a handheld
battle space C2 system,

66
00:03:23,660 --> 00:03:26,458
providing situational
awareness for squad leaders,

67
00:03:26,458 --> 00:03:29,612
platoon commanders,
and company commanders.

68
00:03:29,612 --> 00:03:34,450
Using the THSV2, units
conduct target acquisition

69
00:03:34,450 --> 00:03:37,751
and target handoff to
fire support controllers.

70
00:03:37,751 --> 00:03:42,751
The STT and BATS-D Radios connect
NOTM to a Link 16 network,

71
00:03:43,380 --> 00:03:46,590
which allows digital C2 collaboration

72
00:03:46,590 --> 00:03:48,520
and exchange of tactical voice

73
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,984
between maneuver and air assets.

74
00:03:50,984 --> 00:03:53,574
Air craft ISR systems will be used

75
00:03:53,574 --> 00:03:56,283
to identify and locate threats.

76
00:03:58,810 --> 00:04:02,450
The Expeditionary Landing
Team, with host nation forces

77
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:05,752
and ISR aircraft, is
searching for enemy forces

78
00:04:05,752 --> 00:04:08,450
and air defense assets.

79
00:04:08,450 --> 00:04:11,500
If found, Marines will
transmit the target location

80
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:13,922
over NOTM to call in a high marsh strike

81
00:04:13,922 --> 00:04:15,718
or close air support.

82
00:04:15,718 --> 00:04:19,900
All reports will be made via the MCH.

83
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:22,040
Tactical Service Oriented Architecture

84
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,254
will provide communication
and coordination support

85
00:04:25,254 --> 00:04:27,150
during the operation.

86
00:04:27,150 --> 00:04:29,890
Air assault forces are on standby.

87
00:04:29,890 --> 00:04:33,470
Units will use Link 16
to digitally communicate

88
00:04:33,470 --> 00:04:35,910
and coordinate with air assets.

89
00:04:35,910 --> 00:04:38,804
Squad leaders will
generate VMF Spot Reports

90
00:04:38,804 --> 00:04:43,000
using MCH's connected to NOTM UTV's

91
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,973
and send them to C2PC.

92
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:48,370
Units will use electronic
warfare equipment

93
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:52,290
to distinguish hostile and
friendly force digital signals.

94
00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:54,480
Identification of friendly signals

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,154
allows for feature mitigation
and reduction strategies.

96
00:04:58,154 --> 00:05:01,610
Naval vessels are
conducting ISR operations

97
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:03,460
to support the mission.

98
00:05:03,460 --> 00:05:05,060
If hostile targets are found,

99
00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:07,200
the Tomahawk Weapons Control Center

100
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,600
will generate and
transmit the fire mission

101
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,263
to units within range of the target.

102
00:05:12,263 --> 00:05:13,921
Once objectives are complete,

103
00:05:13,921 --> 00:05:17,660
units will establish the
Expeditionary Advanced Base

104
00:05:17,660 --> 00:05:19,460
of Operations.

105
00:05:19,460 --> 00:05:22,430
To succeed in a LOCE,
the Navy and Marine Corps

106
00:05:22,430 --> 00:05:25,850
must integrate existing
and emerging technologies.

107
00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:29,367
Island Marauder 2019 provides commanders

108
00:05:29,367 --> 00:05:33,520
an opportunity to critically
evaluate the C2 capabilities

109
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,813
and interoperability needed to
blend sea and land operations

110
00:05:37,813 --> 00:05:39,833
in a unified battle space.
