Marine Air-Ground Task Force

I found out about Particle Acceleration when I went to the United States Air Force Academy Summer Seminar in a class where we learned about propulsion. The topic covered was electrodynamics and it related to a particle accelerator. I have researched the particle accelerator online and watched videos over the CERN, largest particle accelerator in the world. I would like to further my studies in this topic so I can develop a large understanding of exactly how and why the particle accelerator is…

have! I would definitely love to have and raise more. I know when the time is right, my son will meet his half brother and a sister. It 's been almost five years since I 've been knowing his dad. He is an X Marine, a very fine one too. You know what they say, Once A Marine is Always A Marine! We 've met at the gym and…

Suicide and Bravery In The Things They Carried written by Tim O’Brien, the reader is educated about the horrors of war and the effects it can have on the people who return from it. Soldiers kill and watch people, ranging from close friends to the enemies they are fighting against getting killed. This leaves a lasting impact. A lot of soldiers who return from war suffer from the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD, which is “a debilitating anxiety disorder that occurs after…

Strait chokepoint requires both combined and joint air and marine operation. We need ships and air power to defeat Saturn’s naval forces and maintain control, provide security, and open sea lines of communications. To defeat the enemy forces and to reoccupying Ringneck Island, we require combined and joint air, land, and marine operations. We need transporters, amphibious assault sea-craft, and air support (i.e. Tactical bombing, Ground Support, Air Superiority). Once we gain territory,…

accomplish. Finally, it will conclude with how the U.S. Army and Marines organized to employ landpower to seize Okinawa during World War II (WWII), and what influence that experience has on how they organize and fight today. Ground Forces offer the commander the capability to seize and hold territory. This is unique among the various forms of military power, and differentiates landpower from maritime, air, space, and cyberpower. Ground forces can physically occupy and defend territory.…

unarguably, provides today’s ground force commanders in the United States Military an overwhelming tactical advantage on the battlefield, the Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) is that individual that provides this specific skill. The Joint Terminal Attack Controller, also known as and referred to as the JTAC, provides the precise guidance of air to ground munitions release from multiple aircraft platforms to destroy, disrupt, delay, degrade, and or dislocate the enemy forces. For this…

The Marine Corps Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) has made strides towards reaching the goals set forth in Expeditionary Force 21 (EF 21); however, the MEU has also fallen short in other areas and will need to evolve to fulfill the goals envisioned in EF 21, particularly in developing an amphibious landing craft, increasing littoral maneuverability, and engineering new platforms to increase logistical capabilities. A line of effort in EF 21 was “increasing naval integration” by “strengthen[ing]…

The North Korean air force was driven from the skies by US Air Force, Navy and Marines, using their superior equipment and training. Heavy bombers razed the cities and industrial plants of North Korea. Continuous attacks on the transport system forced the Chinese to rely on the packhorse for much of their logistical support. A new phase of air war opened when American B-29 bombers and their fighter escorts were challenged by Russian-built…

more apparent than during the final hours of the Vietnam War. The massive air evacuation that took place undoubtedly saved thousands of American and South Vietnamese lives. This feat would have been unthinkable only 20 years prior. Operation Frequent Wind and the evacuation of Saigon is evidence that the constant evolution of the helicopter has changed the way the US military conducts operations. While the helicopter…
