|
Discuss the mission and features of an LHA Amphibious Assault Ship (General Purpose).
|
The assigned mission of the amphibious assault ship (general purpose) (LHA) is to embark, deploy, and land elements of a Marine landing force in an amphibious
assault by helicopters, landing craft, amphibious vehicles, and by combinations of these methods. The LHA features include a full length flight deck, a landing craft docking well (well deck), large storage areas for vehicles and cargo, and troop berthing for a reinforced battalion. |
|
|
Discuss the mission and features of an LHD Amphibious Assault Ship (Multipurpose).
|
The assigned mission of the amphibious assault ship (multipurpose) (LHD) is to embark, deploy, and land elements of a Marine landing force in an amphibious assault by helicopters, landing craft, amphibious vehicles, and by combinations of these methods.
The LHD incorporates the original design features of the LHA. The ship can embark a large segment of a landing force with its equipment and supplies. |
|
|
Discuss the mission and features of an LPD Amphibious Transport Dock.
|
The assigned mission of the LPD is to transport and land troops and their essential equipment and supplies in an amphibious assault by means of embarked landing craft or amphibious vehicles augmented by helicopter lift.
The LPD is a general purpose amphibious ship with substantial lift capacities for troops, vehicles, landing craft, cargo, and bulk fuel. Vehicles can move about the various decks by a series of poweroperated ramps. The well deck can accommodate all types of landing craft currently in the amphibious force inventory. |
|
|
Discuss the mission and features of an LSD Docking Landing Ship.
|
The assigned mission of the LSD is to transport and launch loaded amphibious craft and vehicles with their crews and embarked personnel in amphibious assaults by landing craft and amphibious vehicles.
Major spaces for carrying vehicles and/or cargo or conducting helicopter operations are the helicopter platform, the super deck, the mezzanine deck, and the well deck. Vehicles may be loaded via landing craft into the well deck or lifted aboard by crane to the super deck for transit via ramps to other decks for stowage. |
|
|
Discuss the classes of ships that provide Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS).
|
Guided Missile Cruisers (CG) - The various CG classes carry two 5-inch/54 caliber rapid fore guns and surface-to-surface missiles. Maximum effective ranges of these batteries is 23,127 meters.
Destroyers (DD, DDG) - The types of ships most frequently found in a gunfire support role are destroyers. Their normal role is in direct support of a battalion. The armament is the 5-inch/54 caliber rapid fire gun. The maximum effective range is 23,127 meters. Amphibious Assault Ships (LHA) - This type of ship is the least likely to perform in a gunfire support role, since it cannot simultaneously conduct NGF missions, flight operations, and wet well operations. These ships have two single 5-inch/54 caliber rapid fire guns. |
|
|
Discuss the following terms as they apply to ship-to-shore movement.
L-hour H-hour D-day Line of Departure |
L-hour - the time at which the first helicopter of the helicopter-borne assault wave touches down in the landing zone.
H-hour - the time the first assault elements are scheduled to touch down on the beach, or a landing zone, and in some cases the commencement of countermine breaching operations. D-day - The unnamed day on which a particular operation commences or is to commence. Line of Departure (LOD) - In land warfare, a line designated to coordinate the departure of attack elements. |
|
|
Discuss the mission and features of a Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC).
|
The LCAC’s mission is to land heavy vehicles, equipment, personnel, and cargo in amphibious assaults.
Combining the heavy lift capacity of the surface assault with high speeds of helicopter-borne assault, the LCAC adds a new dimension to the capabilities of amphibious forces. It is capable of traveling over land and water. |
|
|
Discuss the mission and features of a Landing Craft Utility (LCU).
|
The LCU’s mission is to land heavy vehicles, equipment, personnel, and cargo in an amphibious assault.
The LCU is a highly versatile craft; like others of the landing craft family, it has been adapted for many uses including salvage operations, ferry boats for vehicles and passengers, and underwater test platforms. It is a self-sustaining craft with the typical habitability features found aboard ships |
|
|
Discuss the Landing Force Support Party (LFSP).
|
The LFSP is task organized to accommodate the number of landing beaches and/ or HLZs the LF will employ, the size of the units that will use the beaches and/ or HLZs, and the assigned mission. The general organization, principles of planning, and techniques for controlling the operations are the same for either surface or helicopterborne operations with the only exception being the surface assault element contains a Navy beach party organization and the LFSP provides a helicopter control element to helicopterborne units HSTs.The Landing Force Support Party (LFSP) is a temporary landing force (LF) organization, composed of Navy and LF elements, that facilitates the ship-to-shore movement and provides initial combat support and combat logistics support to the LF. Its mission is to support the landing and movement of troops, equipment, and supplies across beaches and into landing zones (LZs).
