Executive Summary

We analyzed areas in the continental United States (CONUS) thatmight support Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training. Start-ing from a set of MEB training requirements, we identified the phys-ical areas and associated capabilities, required to support MEBtraining. Our analysis identified the strengths and shortfalls for eacharea, and methods of enhancing the capabilities of each area to meetthe MEB training requirements.

Our starting point for this analysis was a set of MEB training require-ments culled from Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) andMEB guidance, [1, 2]. The set comprised about 500 guidance state-ments targeting the MEB command elements and agencies, includ-ing Command Element (CE), Ground Combat Element (GCE), AirCombat Element (ACE), and Combat Service Support Element(CSSE), as well as supporting fires, air, and support agencies.

We developed an analytic method for translating each piece of MEBguidance into a requirement for the training environment. This lexi-cal analysis sought to identify the Who, What, When, Where, and Whyfrom each statement. Every guidance statement contained a Who,What, and Why—who is the training audience? What does the train-ing environment need to have to support their training? And, why dothey need to execute the training?

For example, the guidance:

Command Element assesses shaping actions

requires that the training environment must at least include shapingactions (what) for the Command Element (who) to assess. The “what”exists to give the training audience the opportunity to practice thetask assess shaping actions (why). There are many ways to provide thiscapability—real fires, targets, observers, and tactical communica-tions—this guidance does not tell us about those methods. But other

guidance statements do. The point here is that every piece of guidancegives us a piece of the training range requirements.

The sum of all 500 MEB guidance statements yielded a lot of informa-tion about the physical training environment—what operations areasthat environment must contain, and what supporting assets or actionsthe area must provide or support. We then looked at actual trainingareas in CONUS to see how facilities in different areas of the countrycould support the MEB training range requirements.

Our analysis focused on three regions; Southwest CONUS includingCamp Pendleton, Twentynine Palms, and Yuma; the area aroundCamp Lejeune and Cherry Point, Mid-LANT; and the area aroundEglin Major Test Range and Facility Base on the north coast of theGulf of Mexico (GOMEX). We determined to see how these facilities,and nearby civilian and military facilities, could support MEB-scalelive maneuver and fire-based training. As we considered the facilities,our methodology was to minimize the role of simulations and con-structive geography and forces. We then relaxed that constraint andincluded the potential contributions of simulations and constructivegeographies for each range, as required to meet MEB trainingrequirements. In total the analysis produced about 100 range require-ments that each area had to support.

Table 1 summarizes the comparison of these three potential trainingareas.We found that all areas could support some form of MEB train-ing. SW CONUS was the best match with a number of options forbuilding a collection of ranges to support CE, GCE, ACE, and CSSEtraining. Camp Lejeune and GOMEX would require extensive com-puter simulation and the use of constructive forces and terrain to sup-port both operational- and tactical-level MEB training.

Leaving the discussion of the analysis of each area to the body of thispaper, Camp Lejeune and GOMEX were found to be better suited fortactically focused, battalion-scale, MEB training, where as SW CONUSis suitable for operationally focused, brigade-scale MEB training.

Finally, where simulation and constructive training elements arerequired, our approach yields a method to define the requirementsfor the supporting simulations as well as the supporting constructiveforces or geography.

Introduction

This research memorandum documents our analysis of the MarineExpeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment. This analysis isthe final of the three substantive project tasks. This introduction pre-sents a brief review of the work on the first two project tasks, docu-mented in [1] and [2]. We follow the introduction with our analysisof the physical environment required to train the MEB at the opera-tional and tactical level of war. The memorandum closes with a sec-tion discussing the implications of our analysis on the integration ofphysical and constructive training environments for tactical and oper-ational MEB training.

MAGTF training requirements

The MEB is the Marine Corps mid-sized Marine Air Ground TaskForce (MAGTF) warfighting unit [2], fitting between the larger,more operationally focused Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), andthe smaller, tactically focused Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU). Inover-simplified terms, the ground combat power of the MEF is a divi-sion, the MEB a reinforced regiment, and the MEU a reinforced bat-talion. Analysis of historical and anticipated MEB employment [1]shows that the MEB must be ready to function at the tactical and oper-ational levels of warfare—and potentially transition an on-scene bat-talion-scale tactical Marine force to an operationally focused,regimental-sized, force.

As a MAGTF, integration between the ground, air, and support ele-ments is a critical aspect of training the MEB. The MEB integrationresponsibilities. Our functional analysis of the MEB focused on. Wedrew regimental and battalion-level responsibilities from MarineCorps doctrine, including, Marine Corps Warfighting PublicationsMAGTF Command and Control, Ground Combat Operations, Aviation Oper-ations, and Operational and Tactical Level Logistics [2]. Appendices Athrough D of reference [2] list approximately 530 Command

Element (CE), Ground Command Element (GCE), Aviation Com-mand Element (ACE), and Combat Service Support Element (CSSE)tasks drawn from these Marine Corps doctrinal publications. Many ofthese tasks, particularly those at the tactical level, trace back to stan-dard Marine Corps Readiness Evaluation System tasks. The appendi-ces organize these tasks, or responsibilities, by MEB participant (e.g.,GCE) and sub-element (e.g., Fire Support Coordination Section).Based on the publication, we classified each responsibility as a plan-ning or execution task, as well as cited co-elements in the integrationtask, for example, CE and ACE, for the GCE FSCS’s responsibility to“Coordinate all supporting arms to support the concept of opera-tions.” Finally, we listed the maximum applicable level of war for eachresponsibility, based on analysis of the responsibility and Joint Pub 1-02’s definition of operational and tactical levels of war.

These responsibilities form the core of our MEB training environ-ment analysis, and we will return to them following this introduction.

MEB 2015 training requirements

Ultimately, we need to apply the above MAGTF responsibilities toMEB training. The study sponsor asked us to use the MEB 2015 as ourMEB baseline. To set the operational context for this MEB, we used aMCCDC Futures Warfighting Division MPF(F) scenario, OperationCertain Passage. This scenario sees the MEB supporting a small scalecontingency, responsible for a mix of operational- and tactical-levelmissions[2].

Our goal in analyzing the Certain Passage scenario was to determineMEB mission-specific training requirements. The scenario includedsufficient detail for us to ask and answer the following questions:

• Which MEB elements were used?

• How were the elements used for maneuver, fires, and support?

• What MEB functions or responsibilities were executed?

This analysis resulted in a table for each phase of the operation listingMEB 2015 functional and coordination responsibilities for MEB

elements, including GCE elements, ACE, or CSSE. These tables formappendix F in reference [2].

Thus, we used our analysis of Marine Corps MAGTF doctrine and thestructure and scenario mission of the future MEB 2015 to developlists of MEB element function and coordination responsibilities. Thisstructure allowed us to include details of fighting the future MEB asa MAGTF not detailed in the future scenario, and it allowed us to addaspects of anticipated future MAGTF employment to the list of cur-rent MAGTF responsibilities. The next sections of this memorandumreport how we translated these responsibilities into requirements forthe MEB training environment.

Who, what, when, where, and why—MEB responsibilities

The goals of our analysis are to determine the physical characteristicsof the MEB training environment, and the resources required to sup-port MEB training. By physical characteristics we mean physical areasor facilities, such as, maneuver areas, airspace, beaches, urban areas,and ports. Analogous training resources include maneuver elements,aircraft, landing craft, armored personnel carriers, and ships.Together these are the what and where of the training environment. Itis easy to develop a huge list of desired “what’s and where’s,” design-ing a training environment that “has everything.” But it is importantto understand who needs a specific element of the environment andwhy they need that element.

The MEB responsibilities answer the who, what, where, and why ofthe training environment. For example, from appendix A of [2], wesee that one of the GCE Force Fires Coordination Center responsibil-ities is: Conduct fire support operations in the MAGTF deep operations.Figure 1 shows the breakdown for this responsibility. This breakdowntells us that the GCE FFCC (who) needs a deep (where) operating areathat allows fire support operations (what) to train the responsibility ofconducting fire support operations in the MAGTF deep operation(why.)

7

We were asked to identify where the MEB can train; essentially, wewere asked to answer the “where and what” for the MAGTF trainingenvironment. Later sections in this memorandum will show that thismethod of analysis will also yield, for example, a list of who needseach what, and why they need it, allowing MEB trainers to prioritizethe need for specific characteristics of a training environment tomeet the specific needs of a training program.

The list of MAGTF/MEB responsibilities contains the information todetermine the characteristics of the MEB training environment. Therest of this section details the method we used to extract these char-acteristics from the database in appendices A through D of [2].

The grammatical structure of the guidance yields the analytic connec-tion between the guidance and the training environment. All sen-tences have a subject, even if implied, and a verb. Guidancestatements have a subject, verb, and object; for example, The Com-mand Element monitors operations. Here the subject, the CommandElement, is given the responsibility to monitor operations, the verbclause, with monitor as the verb and operations the verb’s object. So,the subject identifies who has the responsibility, and the verb clausenames that responsibility, giving why the environment must containsome specific, supporting characteristic. So the environment (physi-cal or constructive) must allow the Command Element to monitoroperations.

The database identifies the who and why directly. The list of respon-sibilities, i.e., why you need the training environment, are sorted bythe responsible MAGTF element. Using lexical terms, the MAGTFelement is the subject of the guidance sentence, for example, GCEFFCC in the guidance sentence in figure 1. The responsibility in thesame figure, conduct fire support in the MAGTF deep operation, isthe verb phrase of the guidance sentence. Who needs the trainingenvironment? The CGE FFCC. Why does the GCE FFCC need thetraining environment? To train conduct of fire support in MAGTFdeep operations. The database is just a list of the subjects and verbphrases, or who and why, for all the guidance extracted from the ref-erence material. Fortunately, most military guidance (but not all!) iswritten in the active voice, making the identification of the subjectand verb phrase obvious.

Identifying the what and where/when requires a lexical analysis ofthe verb phrase, i.e., the responsibility. We took each responsibilityand parsed it into verb, verb modifier, and object clause. The first lineof table 2 shows the parsing of the responsibility “control artilleryfires near troops.”

The table above presents a typical example of breaking down aresponsibility. The adverbial and object clauses tell us about the train-ing environment required to support this responsibility. To actuallytrain or assess the responsibility, the object requires that the trainingenvironment must support fires, the adjective requires that it mustsupport aircraft, and the adverb clause requires that it must includetroop areas.

The verb also conveys information about the environment, typicallyindicating if the responsibility requires a real or representative envi-ronment. For example, the responsibility “discuss fires” does not

require a physical environment; even an abstract, conceptual, repre-sentation of the physical environment will support the discussion offires.

Verbs relating to “planning” are more problematic. Operational plan-ning, and most tactical planning, use representations of the environ-ment, not the environment itself. These representations might be asophisticated geographical information system, a paper map, orstones and scratches on a impromptu “sand table.” But none of therepresentatives required the physical existence of the representedterrain to support planning. However, the ability to assess the qualityof this representation, as well as the effectiveness of the plan on exe-cution, does require a physical environment. Because many of thesenior MEB responsibilities address planning, we analyzed the plan-ning responsibility as if the verb “plan” was “execute,” but also trackedplanning-related environmental requirements separately. In mostcases, the verb clause is “plan and execute,” leading to the same envi-ronmental requirements for conducting planning and executing theplan.

Guidance “shorthand” adds another twist to analyzing the MEBrequirements. The second row in the table shows a breakdown of theguidance in figure 1. To understand the implications of this guidanceon the training environment, we had to fill in a few grammaticalblanks due to using subject matter expert “shorthand,” as shown insquare brackets in the table entries. Both additions are typical; “firesupport” is a concept of operations, but the verb “conduct” mustapply to the operation, not to the concept, so “fire support” in thisresponsibility really means “fire support operations.” This may seemlike hair-splitting, but it is important; a physical training environmentis not required to discuss the concept of fire support, but a physical,specialized environment is required to conduct fire support opera-tions.

Finally, many of the responsibilities contained multiple verb clausesfor the same subject, for example:

establish reporting requirements, FSCMs (ex restricted fireareas, RFAs), and fire support coordination procedureswhen existing procedures are inadequate.

10

Page 15: Analysis of Marine Expeditionary Brigade Training Areas · 2012. 6. 28. · This research memorandum documents our analysis of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment

This example would break into three separate requirements relatingto reporting, fire areas, and procedures.

Figure 2 summarizes the method for extracting information aboutthe training environment from the guidance. While we apply themethod to MEB/MAGTF guidance, the method can be applied toany operational guidance, providing a general method to see theimplications for the training environment in every guidance state-ment.

Appendix A contains the breakdown of the responsibilities given inappendices A through D of reference [2]. Not all of the 534 respon-sibility clauses contain information about the required physical train-ing environment; many apply to non-physical objects such asconcepts, guidance, or standards. The next section discusses how weidentified and consolidated the environment-specific responsibilities.

MEB responsibilities and the physical training environment

The previous section presented an analytic method for connectingeach guidance statement into some aspect of a training environment.This analysis showed that some guidance requires a physical trainingenvironment, for example, FAC controls aircraft in company AOR,requires a physical environment that contains an area of responsibil-ity for company operations, airspace, and aircraft to control. In this

example, the environment contains physical areas, company AOR,things, aircraft, and people, FAC.

Not all guidance requires the existence of a physical training environ-ment. In fact, the objects of some guidance, such as concepts in Com-mand Element develops concepts of operation, do not exist in anyphysical environment. Concepts of operation will depend on charac-teristics of the physical operating or training environment, but,unlike controlling fires, the training audience can develop conceptsof operation without a physical training environment. These require-ments are important to training; the requirements for a synthetictraining environment will encompass these non-physical guidanceobjects. The remainder of this memorandum is concerned with iden-tifying characteristics of the physical training environment required tosupport MEB training.

The opening guidance example in this section referenced people,places, and things. Analysis of all the physical referent objects in theMAGFT guidance shows that all belong to one of these three catego-ries. Table 3 gives three examples from appendix A that illustrate thiscategorization. We carried out a similar classification for each guid-ance phrase in appendix A. We broadened the people category toinclude command staffs, for example, the ACE staff as shown in thefourth line of table 3. Most of the guidance contained a mix of thethree categories, as seen in the guidance Collect sensor informationto enhance ACE deep operations, one of the few pieces of MAGTFguidance including all three.

While people, unlike concepts, are real physical objects, they don’thave to exist in the physical training environment. These people andstaffs can be part of the physical or synthetic environments. For ouranalysis, we focused on places and things that the physical trainingenvironment must contain. This choice fit our project needs. How-ever, the analytic method can still help determine the training envi-ronment for other assumptions. For example, trainers who want toidentify what people and staffs are required to support training theMEB in either a physical or synthetic training environment can easilyextract this “people” information from an electronic version ofappendix A.

We identified the set of guidance referring to time, place, or areas inthe real environment. As in figure 1, we use the term environmentalobjects and requirements to label “areas and things” extracted fromthe MAGTF guidance. Figure 3 lists these environmental objects andrequirements. Most of the environmental requirements appear inmultiple guidance statements. For example, fires are required to sup-port 16 guidance statements, and logistics support forces in 13 state-ments. Appendix B lists the guidance statements citing eachenvironmental requirement.

Most of the objects and requirements in figure 3 are commonly usedterms, e.g., the environmental object maneuver area, or environmen-tal requirement targets, but others need further explanation. Many ofthe guidance phrases referenced things, e.g. fires, but did not identifywhere these were in the battlespace in either the guidance, or infer-entially, in the named, responsible staff section. The context usuallyimplied that they could occur anywhere in the battlespace. For thoseresponsibilities identified as operational, that is, taking place multiplebattles, over larger space and time, we used the “place” label “The-ater.” For tactical responsibilities, i.e. those that apply to a single bat-tle, we used the label “Battle area.”

The physical training environment that supports the set of guidancestatements consists of pairs of environmental objects and require-ments. A total of 85 pairs describe the physical MAGTF training envi-ronment for the guidance set in appendix A. Appendix C lists thesepairs and the subset of guidance statements citing the pair. This list ofenvironmental objects and requirements is the minimum set ofplaces and things that must be located at each place for the trainingenvironment to support MAGTF training. Table 4 contains a set ofexamples of the derived physical training environment, listing areasthe environment must contain, what needs to be present in theseareas to support MAGTF training, and what training requirementsthe environment supports.

What about the MEB training environment? Appendix F of [2] liststhe MEB functions associated with all the phases of the 2015 Opera-tion Certain Passage MEB scenario. We applied the same analyticmethod to these functions to identify the required MEB training envi-ronment. The environment defined in appendix C includes theseMEB functions, denoted by (2015) after the appropriate guidancefunction. The 2015 scenario MEB functions are mostly identical to,though less numerous than, the MAGTF functions. Table 5 lists exam-ples of MEB 2015 unique environmental objects and require-ments.The 2015 scenario added 10 object-requirement pairs to theMAGTF list, including requirements for a seabase, urban area, moun-tainous area, and seizing and securing various areas and facilities.

The set of environmental objects and requirements, along with thetraining actions each supports, defines the elements the physicalMEB training environment must contain, and the reasons for eachelement’s inclusion. The next section identifies specific places in theU.S. that would support the training environment, however it is worthillustrating the abstract physical training environment.

Notional operational and tactical MEB training areas

For clarity, we first illustrate the operational-level training environ-ment, followed by the tactical. By operational, we mean those tasksthat concern a sequence of battles spread over large spaces and timesthat support strategic objectives. Tactical pertains to individual battlesthat support combat objectives [2]. The MEB will not always functionat the operational level, but the operational-level requirements placegreater space and time demands on the training environment.

Figure 4 shows the operational-level environmental objects. Thefigure illustrates notional spatial relationships. The general guidancedoes not cite distances or even geographic relationships, rather theseare set by scenarios and systems limitations.

We can add the environmental requirements, to the map that is, whatobjects or operations each area must include to support each guid-ance statement. Figure 5 shows these environmental requirements.The reader can probably think of many more things to include in theMEB training environment—keep in mind that these are the placesin things required to support the MAGTF reference guidance and theMEB 2015 scenario.

The notional representation of the MEB tactical training environ-ment looks similar to the operational-level depicted in figure 5, butfocused in on the area of tactical operations, largely the regimentaland battalion areas. Figure 6 shows these areas and supporting envi-ronmental requirements. With the exception of the costal and seaareas, this picture appears to represent a regimental scale trainingarea. It still must support multiple, simultaneous-battalion-scaledattacks, but a large-size maneuver range can accommodate many ofthe areas and requirements shown. Nevertheless, these notional rep-resentations are not specific enough to assess whether a particulartraining area will support MEB operational and tactical training. Thenext section examines how well potential MEB training areas in thecontinental United States (CONUS) can support these trainingrequirements.

Potential MEB training areas

The list of 100 odd pairs of environmental objects and requirementswas the starting point for the analysis of potential MEB training areas.For each of the three major training areas considered, we wentthrough the list of environmental pairs and tried to find a specificfacility that included the environmental object, allowed the inclusionof the environmental requirement, and supported the guidance state-ments citing the pair. We started with the operational level to ensurethat the major elements of the physical training environment sup-ported the training requirements. Figure 7 shows the candidate areas.

Operational-level training areas

Table 6 lists three examples that match training area capabilities torequirements. The first line of the table shows that all three candidatetraining areas, southwest CONUS, northern Gulf of Mexico, andmiddle Atlantic coast, can support the requirement that the GCEplan, coordinate, and conduct fire support operations. These are ofcourse not the only places in each candidate MEB training AOR thatcan meet these requirements, but reflect the one option for satisfyingthe entire set of operational requirements. Figure 8 shows one poten-tial use of SW CONUS training facilities to meet the MEB’s opera-tional training requirements. In fact, the analysis shows that SWCONUS can meet the MEB operational requirements in a number ofways—it is a flexible solution. Even so, SW CONUS cannot meet allthe requirements. For example, San Diego cannot meet the require-ment that the Port area to support MPF and fire support operationslikely the fire support operations in vicinity of the port will be con-structive, with a constructive allocation of fire support assets. Ourgoal was to meet the training requirements using as few constructiverange elements as possible.

MEB tactical training constraints

We used the same process to find suitable environments to meet theMEB tactical training requirements. We added the requirement thatthe tactical and operational solutions be consistent—both supportingthe same notional scenario. In some cases, this constraint led tochoosing between only one of two possible, acceptable, operationalconfigurations. Appendix D lists the local training areas associatedwith each environmental object and requirement in each of the threemajor MEB training areas considered. Appendix D includes the train-ing requirement supported by each local training are.

Determining which areas can support tactical MEB training requiresidentification of the training audience and the tactical functions thatthe training environment must support. At the tactical level thesefunctions include movement, maneuver, and fires. The operationalguidance discussed above includes this information. Table 7 lists theguidance documents we used to extract MEB MAGTF functions.

The guidance extracted from the sources in table 7 specifies respon-sibilities for selected commands, agencies, staffs, and individuals. Theguidance also cites seniors, subordinates, and peers with whom theseMAGTF elements must work to execute the assigned responsibilities.In terms of our lexical analysis, the MAGTF elements to whom theguidance assigns responsibilities are the subjects of the guidanceclauses; the elements with whom these elements work are found inthe verb phrases. The distinction is important—members of the pri-mary training audience are the subjects of the responsibility

statements; those elements in the verb phrase are required to supporttraining. They may also receive training, but if so, with respect totraining the responsibilities in the guidance, they are a secondarytraining audience. In whatever training environment the primarytraining audience must participate, the supporting or secondaryaudience can be constructive or simulated, as long as the simulationsupports training the primary audience on the specified responsibil-ity. Appendix E lists the primary MAGTF training audience and sup-porting training elements. Table 8 lists examples of supported andsupporting MAGTF training elements.

The MEB training environment must support the entire primarytraining audience listed in table 18. The table includes the lowestlevels of the MAGTF command structure for the ACE, GCE, andCSSE. For the ACE the lowest level elements are components of theTAOC and DASC, specifically the SAAWC, ASE, FAC, TAC, ASC, andHST. For the GCE the lowest level elements are components of the BnFSCC, including weapons liaisons. The lowest levels of the CSSEinclude control groups for the port, assembly areas, and airfields.

Elements supporting primary MAGTF as cited in table 7 guidancespan the range from joint task force elements to firing units and air-crew. At a minimum, a MEB MAGTF physical training environmentmust allow these supporting elements to function in a realistic man-ner. Realism in supporting, moving, and fighting these elementsforces the primary MEB training audience to plan, allocate resources,assess warfare progress under realistic constraints. Additionally, pro-viding realistic support gives these units an opportunity to satisfyinternal unit training requirements.

Identification of the lowest tactical level of the supporting elementsdefines the level of detail MEB training exercises and training envi-ronments must support. Table 19 includes the lowest level for theGCE, ACE, and CSSE. For the GCE, this is the company level, specif-ically, maneuver elements, FIST, and firing units. For the ACE, theguidance requires support from squadrons, aircrew employing firesfor FAC control, and supporting air movement. For the CSSE, CSSDsare required to provide direct company and battalion support withinthe context of the MEB exercise.

Thus, the training environment must support company-level maneu-ver, indirect, and air fires. While the details of the company and belowmaneuver elements are not specified, the elements required to sup-port MEB fires training are: FIST control of air, mortar, artillery, andnaval fires for each company in the MEB’s battalions. In terms of CAXevents, this implies a FISTEX-level exercise for a sequence of inte-grated multi-battalion battles. For the MEB responsibilities analyzedhere, unlike fires, representative elements can support tacticalmaneuver at the company level and below, as long as the representedcompany maneuvers in a manner consistent with appropriate unitand terrain constraints. Fires must be supported at the forwardobserver, fire controller, and firing unit-level

Providing a training environment that supports employment of thetactical elements discussed above constrains the number of trainingareas capable of supporting MEB MAGTF training. The following sec-tion details the implication of these constraints.

Tactical training support areas

The above section on MEB tactical training constraints showed thatthe tactical environment must support integrated multibattalion-levelmaneuver and fires. This severely constrains the locations that cansupport MEB tactical training. Before analyzing the compromisesrequired to find any place to train the MEB, we set the scale for therequired environment independent of a specific training area.

Reference [2] analyzed the size required to support company (Co),battalion (Bn), and brigade (Bde) training. This analysis drewtogether sometimes conflicting intelligence, operational, and train-

23

Page 28: Analysis of Marine Expeditionary Brigade Training Areas · 2012. 6. 28. · This research memorandum documents our analysis of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment

ing guidance for Marine Corps and U.S. Army units. This analysisshowed that the U.S. Army training Circular TC 25-1, Training Land,gives reasonable estimates for the maximum aerial size required tosupport Bde and below training. The training circular includes esti-mates for both contiguous and non-contiguous operations and train-ing. While TC 25-1 does not detail how the size of each training areawas derived, analysis of the operational guidance allowed us todeduce the elements of intelligence, movement, maneuver, and firesArmy analysts used to set the scale of training areas.

We are primarily interested in multiple-battalion scale mechanizedinfantry operations. FM 34-130, Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield,gives the frontal dimensions to the front footprint for a mechanizedBn with two companies up and one back (defense or offense) to beapproximately 3 km. Depth of this Bn during movement to contact isapproximately 2-3 km, so a typical Bn has a 3 X 3 km footprint. Like-wise, a Co footprint is about 1 km square.

Working backwards from TC 25-1, Bn and Co training areas of oper-ations (AO) reveal the rule of thumb of about three times a unit’sfrontal area for the width of a unit’s tactical training area. This widthallows for flanking to either side of the training unit following move-ment to contact on the offensive, defense against threat flankingmaneuvers, and execution of counterattacks for defensive training.

The depth of the training area depends on a number of factors,including the size of the unit, duration of the training exercise, initialtactical condition (in contact vs. movement to contact), and effectivespeed of the unit over the terrain. Movement rates and exercise dura-tion are the principal drivers for the required depth. FM 34-130includes movement rates for mechanized and dismounted units.Appendix F copies FM 34-130 figure B-41, brigade and below rates ofadvance. For example, Mechanized units, Bde and below with a 3:1force advantage, advance at about 20 km per 24 hours against pre-pared defenses on restricted terrain. Advance rates for the samethreat employing a hasty defense is about 30 km in 24 hours.

Taken together the above planning guidance yields an area about9X18 km for a 12 hour Bn movement to contact scenario. This agrees

24

Page 29: Analysis of Marine Expeditionary Brigade Training Areas · 2012. 6. 28. · This research memorandum documents our analysis of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment

well with TC 25-1’s appendix A which estimates mechanized Bn train-ing area requirements of 8X17 km for offensive operations.

The training area is sensitive to the duration of the training and levelof threat, for example, the area in the example above expands to a9X70 km area required to support 24 hours of Bn-level training onrestricted terrain against a hasty threat defense, inclusive of CSSE sup-port. TC 25-1 appendix C discusses the increase in range require-ments for “free-flowing” scenarios without breaks between movementto contact, offensive, defensive, and retrograde training. In this casethe Bn’s box increases in size to 16X40 km. For non-contiguous oper-ations TC 25-1 expands these training corridors to radii of action—citing an area of about 60 km diameter to support training a Bde-scaleunit. As the training circular points out, the training areas resultingfrom these calculations exceed the size of any U.S. training area fordivision and above training. Even regimental training exceeding 24-hours duration taxes most Army and Marine training areas.

As a consequence of the large training areas required to support MEBtactical and operational training, our analysis included the potentialof distributed training. This is consistent with the current U.S. Armyapproach, as discussed in TC 25-1. Army trainers argue that distrib-uted training also better supports training for distributed operations,which they see as a significant feature of future conflicts.

Examples of tactical maneuver training areas

Superimposing these training area requirements on candidate MEBtactical training ranges gives some insight into the possibilities andproblems with Bn-scale maneuver training. However, it is importantto heed the caveat found in every operational and training guidancedocument—actual use of the physical terrain for operations or train-ing depends on extensive mission, enemy, troops, terrain/weather -time (METT-T) analysis of the situation and terrain in question. Ter-rain that looks “flat” on a map may be impassable for wheeled vehi-cles. The following graphical comparisons are intended to illustratethe scale of training areas required to support tactical training atcompany, battalion, and brigade levels.

25

The problems of finding Marine Corps training areas that can sup-port multiple-battalion training can be seen by laying the Bn sizetraining areas discussed in the last section on a small-scale map ofMarine Corps Base Twentynine Palms. Figure 9 shows the area recom-mended to train two Bns. The figure also shows the surface dangerzone for a HIMARS launched Multiple Launch Rocket System(MLRS) M26 rocket with a 32-km range to target. The figure illus-trates the large areas required for Bn maneuver training.

The actual usable maneuver space at Twentynine Palms is consider-ably smaller than the base outline on figure 9 indicates. To illustratethis, figure 10 shows company and battalion size footprint superim-posed on one of the Twentynine Palms training areas, the Delta Cor-ridor. Based on map topology, not micro-terrain analysis, the figureshows that the corridor is well sized for Co maneuver to contact oroffensive operations. Most of the corridor is about three Co in width,and would support a 10-hour exercise against a threat Co. The figurealso shows that while battalions can fit in the corridor, the ridges toeither side constrain them to linear movement and maneuver.Thisrough map analysis would classify the Delta Corridor as a Co-sizemaneuver training area, or a constrained Bn training area.

Figure 11 superimposes Bn size on Twentynine Palms’ western train-ing areas. The Bns as shown occupy about a 3X4 km area. If the light-est yellow area in the figure was all maneuverable terrain, thiscorridor is large enough for single Bn maneuver training for a single10-12 hour event. However, much of even the flat terrain is no-go forwheeled vehicles. Combined, the micro- and mountainous terrainconstrain this maneuver area, potentially forcing the use of represen-tative units on roads and slow-go terrain.

Twentynine Palms includes one other Bn scale corridor, and onepotential new corridor. The existing corridor runs also on the north-ern edge of the base. Again, much of the terrain is not accessible towheeled vehicles, and some of the micro-terrain is difficult fortracked vehicles. The development of a third, 30-km long, Bn scalecorridor along the western edge of the base is possible, but requiresacquisition of a western buffer to support use of live fire.

The figure also shows the SDZ for HIMARS-launched tactical andtraining MLRS rounds. These SDZs easily fit within the base bound-aries; however, the M26’s apogee do place significant constraints onthe range airspace.

Together, these examples show that Twentynine Palms can supportmultiple Bn maneuver training. However, much of the maneuver, andtherefor tactical decision training, is constrained by micro-terrainand mountain ridges. Each Bn would fight along relatively narrow,independent corridors. Both mountainous terrain, and potentiallyMLRS exlusion airspace would separate the two current, and poten-tially three, 10X30 km Bn corridors.

MidLant and GOMEX MEB face great challenges supporting tactical,Bn-level, training.Figure 12 illustrates these challenges. While the Bnoffensive tactical maneuver training area roughly fits within theGreater Sandy Run training area, much of the terrain within the redbox in the figure is no-go, swamp, terrain. Additionally, SDZs at theend of the maneuver area would extend outside the base boundaries.Finally, unlike Twentynine Palms, Lejeune’s indirect fire impact area,G-10 is located on part of the base where maneuver area is muchsmaller than the notional 9X18 km Bn maneuver box. This does notmean that Camp Lejeune cannot support Bn training - in the past ithas been used to support regimental-scale maneuver training. How-ever the maneuver training will be constrained, and likely notsupported by live-fire.

29

Page 34: Analysis of Marine Expeditionary Brigade Training Areas · 2012. 6. 28. · This research memorandum documents our analysis of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment

Similar problems hold for GOMEX tactic maneuver training. Figure13 shows a 9X18 Bn maneuver area superimposed on Eglin MRTFB’smaneuver areas. While the Bn area fits easily with the range bound-aries, range regulations restricts movement outside the white areas inthe figure restricted to roads.

Thus, the figure shows that the current Eglin MTRFB maneuver areasare more appropriate for Co maneuver training. Significant increasesto current MTRFB ranges would be required to make Eglin suitablefor integrated single or multiple Bn training. These restrictions willlikely result in MEB training using representative units moving onexisting range roads, with simulated direct fires, and potentially dis-placed live indirect fires against representative targets in existingMTRFB impact areas. Both this form of movement/maneuver andfires require significant effort to integrate the training into a effectivescenario - likely through simulator support and inclusion of construc-tive computer-generated forces.

for multiple coordinated battalion-scale assaults is difficult to satisfyon the East Coast; neither Eglin MTRFB nor Camp Lejeune can sup-port these operations. Ft. Bragg is a non-marine candidate for this,but no candidate exists for northern Gulf of Mexico. Likely coordi-nated MEB battalion assaults will be constructive on the East Coast.Thus, it will be difficult for MEB trainers to assess the capability of theMEB CE and GCE to conduct these coordinated operations with realunits.

For example, neither Mid-LANT norEglin MTRFB support the requirement for mountainous assault.More significantly, GOMEX cannot support the operational-levelrequirement for deep operations within 200NM of the close area.

Shared problems supporting MEB training requirements

There are problems with the details of some of the specific trainingenvironments listed in table 10. All areas have problems with:

• Ports

• Seabase

• Fires and fire support coordination.

The MEB requirements call for execution of fire support at the port(MAGTF guidance) and port seizure (MEB 2015 scenario). Otherport logistics requirements need the use of actual port facilities tosupport MPF and logistics operations. MEB trainers will likely have toemploy constructive fire support and port seizure.

Seabase issues are not surprising as the current operating environ-ment lacks a seabase. But it is worth listing the 2015 MEB seabasefunctions to see future seabase training requirements:

• Operate from the seabase (CE, GCE, ACE, CSSE)

• Direct MEB operations from the seabase (CE)

• Coordinate with seabased support elements (CE)

• Coordinate with seabase and seabased battalions (GCE)

• Support maneuver elements from the seabase (ACE)

• Conduct at-sea arrival and assembly (CSSE)

• Coordinate with seabase and maneuver elements ashore(CSSE).

Problems with fire support coordination reflect the individual char-acter of the major MEB training areas, unlike port and seabase prob-lems. For SW CONUS the issue involves integrating NSFS into theGCE’s scheme of maneuver. While San Clement can support NSFSfires, additional training instrumentation is required to integratethese real fires into maneuver-fire training. Eglin faces a similar prob-lem. Here integration of sea-impact fires into the maneuver-fire train-ing requires existing instrumentation (Virtual At-Sea Trainer) and

35

Page 40: Analysis of Marine Expeditionary Brigade Training Areas · 2012. 6. 28. · This research memorandum documents our analysis of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment

changes to current fires training procedures [3]. Camp Lejeune hasonly one air-artillery-NSFS impact area, making integrated fire sup-port with independent battalion tactical maneuver elements difficult.

Non-NSFS fire support coordination is an issue for other reasons atEglin and Camp Lejeune. At Eglin, the direct-fire maneuver rangesare located over 10 n.mi from the indirect-fires impact ranges [3].Pendleton, 29 Palms, and Camp Lejeune company maneuver and fireranges are contiguous, making it possible for visual observers to assessthe timing and accuracy of the fires and translate the tactical effectsof the fires into the progress of tactical maneuver execution.

Fixing this problem requires either establishing maneuver rangesnear Eglin indirect-fire impact ranges, or developing training instru-mentation to translate the fire’s tactical effects into the maneuvertraining. New Eglin maneuver areas require the Marines environmen-tal approvals and invest in range construction. Because no instrumen-tation exists to translate the fires into the maneuver area, fundingwould be required to develop a new instrumentation.

Camp Lejeune also has a similar problem integrating indirect firesand battalion-level maneuver. Only the Company Battle Course isadjacent to Camp Lejeune’s G-10 impact area. Battalion-level fire-maneuver training would require linking other company-levelmaneuver areas on the base to the fire effects achieved in G-10. Build-ing company-level maneuver ranges near G-10 requires majorchanges to the base infrastructure, as well as environmental permis-sions. Like Eglin, instrumentation linking fires-maneuver training isa potential solution. Unlike Eglin, it is unlikely that the base can sup-port multiple-battalion maneuver training.

The bottom line is that, in the absence of significant range develop-ment, East Coast battalion and regimental fire-maneuver trainingrequires instrumentation that integrates non-adjacent fire andmaneuver ranges. Like the use of instrumentation to integrate sea-impact NSFS fires into company-level combined arms training, instru-mentation-based fire-maneuver training requires a change in funda-mental Marine Corps training values. Marines will have to assesswhether this change in values is worth the gain of achieving somelevel of East Coast battalion and above fire-maneuver training.

Character of MEB training for each training area

This section captures the character of MEB training in SW CONUS,GOMEX, and Mid-LANT training areas. This summary is based onthe pairing of MEB range requirements and specific local trainingareas detailed in appendix D.

Southwest Continental United States

This area is a training-range rich environment. Given the capability ofMarine facilities in the area, it was possible to construct a few solu-tions to many of the MEB training requirements.

Starting from the operational level, the MEB must allocate ground,air, and combat support between multiple, sequential battles in sup-port of exercise strategic objectives, over large spaces and long times.For the MEB, we large to mean separate brigade-sized battle areas,with enough time for at least two battalion-scale battles. The MAGTFand MEB 2015 guidance specify the operational-level sources anddestination of the ground, air, and support forces: sea areas, port, air-field, beach for sources and rear, close, and deep for application ofthe MEB force. The guidance specifies the character of operations ineach of those ares, as seen in the supported actions listed in appendixD. Each area requires an integration of all three MAGTF elementswithin each area, and the right allocation of forces between the areasto accomplish the MEB mission.

The SW CONUS area was able to support close and rear areas capableof supporting distributed-brigade and multiple-battalion groundoperations. The areas Camp Pendleton for rear, and TwentyninePalms for close, are separated by about 110 n.mi, making it difficultto shift forces and support assets from battles in one to the other—stressing as intended the planning and allocation training require-ments. Figure 14 shows these areas, and the supporting environmen-tal objects in each.

Yuma serves as a deep battle area, and serves to support air defenseand deep strike capabilities. However, Yuma has limited groundmaneuver areas. All three areas are supported by movement from theamphibious force or seabase, MPF offloads at the Sea Port Of Embar-kation (SPOE) in San Diego, and connected but ground and air linesof communication (LOCs) for moving the support.

The guidance specifies that the tactical level, that is, a single battle,potentially include two coordinated, and one independent, support-ing but simultaneous battalion engagements. These battles fightusing the ground, fire, and support assets allocated and transportedto the battle areas. Both Camp Pendleton and Twentynine Palms cansupport the tactical capabilities required for the rear and close areas.However, Twenty-nine Palms geography canalizes individual, and sep-arates multi-battalion, movement and maneuver. Additionally, battal-ion-level forces will have to reposition after 12-24 hours of training,due to the length of the battalion training corridors. Together, the 5-

10 km corridors and need to reset forces for a MEB duration exercisemay realistically drive training the use of representational forces atthe company-level for maneuver elements, while retaining the full-scale firing, and fire control, elements. Finally, acquisition of impactareas to the west of the current range would allow development of awestern live-fire battalion-scale training corridor.

Figure 15 lists the capabilities required at Twentynine Palms tosupport the close area training.

SW CONUS still could not meet all the MEB training requirements.As we discussed in the last section, this area had problems meetingthe guidance-driven training environment requirements for seabas-ing, port combat operations, and rear fire support coordination. Nev-ertheless, as the next sections show, the SW CONUS area is thestrongest of the three considered to support MEB training.

Middle Atlantic coast

We analyzed how facilities in the vicinity of Camp Lejeune can sup-port the MEB training requirements discussed in the last section anddetailed in appendix D. Table 10 and figure 16 illustrate one way tomeet the MEB training environment requirements. Figure 16 showsthat the area can support the requirements for sea, rear, close, anddeep host nation areas, and can include an airfield, a MPF port, andlines of communication. It is also important to see that the deep MEBtraining area is a U.S. Army-owned training range, Ft. AP Hill. TheSW CONUS area relies on Marine-controlled ranges only. To supportthe MEB training requirements, Ft. AP Hill will have to host at leastbattalion- and possibly brigade-scale fire and maneuver training.

Camp Lejeune has difficulties supporting tactical-level MEB live-firetraining. The last section discussed coordinating fires and maneuverat the battalion and regimental level at Camp Lejeune. A full battal-ion might be able to exercise at Camp Lejeune, using the GreaterSandy Run ranges, the K-2 impact range, the Company Battle Course,and the G-10 impact area. However, the tactical integration of thesecompany units and single-artillery/fixed-wing/NSFS fires wouldrequire heavy instructor support and coordination, likely assisted byinstrumentation and computer simulation. The instructor’s rolewould be to monitor tactical actions in each area and translate the tac-tical effects of those actions to the non-adjacent areas. The role of thesimulation would be to help the instructors with the integration of themultiple company-level actions into a single battle problem.

Camp Lejeune as currently configured is not large enough to supportbrigade live-fire training. While the base has hosted full-scale regi-mental training in the past, figure 12 shows that these forces begintraining nearly in contact. Given the small maneuver areas at CampLejeune, and restrictions to tactical maneuver off ranges and roads, itmay be more effective to use company and battalion headquarterscommand representative forces, with combat and service supportforces scaled accordingly. Again the tactical outcomes of battleengagements would require simulation support. The Army has devel-oped training methods and programs using mixes of constructive andreal forces supported with simulators, but force instrumentation andlack of small-unit combat friction are the prices paid for thisapproach. Ultimately, the lack of friction at the tactical level makessolving operational-level planning, assessment, and asset allocationproblems too easy at the operational level.

Northern Gulf of Mexico

The northern Gulf of Mexico, GOMEX, has training areas that cansupport elements of operational- and tactical-level MEB training.One way to use these facilities is to use the Pensacola area, includingthe Port of Pensacola and NAS Pensacola, as the rear area, EglinMajor Test Range Facility Base, MTRFB, for the close area, and Ft.Polk for the deep area. Eglin MTRFB includes proven amphibiouslanding beaches and inland fire and maneuver ranges. Figure 17shows the operational-level use of the GOMEX area.

41

Page 46: Analysis of Marine Expeditionary Brigade Training Areas · 2012. 6. 28. · This research memorandum documents our analysis of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment

In the GOMEX operational area the same pool of assets can supportboth the close and rear problems. One solution to this problem ismodifying the scenario and exercise play to insert constructive dis-tance between NAS Pensacola and Eglin MTRFB. The shifting ofassets between areas must be consistent with that unit’s transit speedover the constructive geography. Likewise, lift would have to be com-mitted honoring the constructive, not the actual, distance. Histori-cally, training audiences and trainers have found honoring thesekinds of constructive constraints on assets and time problematic inpractice.

Figure 17 shows that this includes collapse of the rear and close areas,with their impact on operational-level asset allocation training. Thereis also a tactical problem with exercising rear-area fire support opera-tions, NAS Pensacola cannot support tactical fires training. Thismeans that Eglin fire ranges would have to support rear-area fire sup-port training, again requiring integration of displaced fires and reararea support operations. This effectively collapses the close and rearengagement areas, or requires simulation-supported rear-area firesupport training.

The best candidates for battalion-level deep maneuver fire training isFt. Polk, Louisiana, or Avon Park, Florida, both approximately350n.mi from NAS Pensacola. If this distance makes the deep areaimpractical for training, Pensacola will have to support all MEB fireand maneuver training, deep, close, and rear. Small, representativemaneuver units integrated using constructive geography and simula-tions at the operational level are likely the best way to support MEBtraining.

Eglin’s tactical maneuver and impact areas are larger than CampLejeune [3]. Recently, 22 MEU showed that existing ranges easily sup-ported company level-maneuver-fire exercise. However, the tacticalintegration of these maneuver areas, and all maneuver with support-ing fires requires the same kind of approach as Camp Lejeune.

42

Page 47: Analysis of Marine Expeditionary Brigade Training Areas · 2012. 6. 28. · This research memorandum documents our analysis of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment

Finally, none of the required ranges belong to Marine commands,and the Eglin MTRFB obeys OSD test and evaluation rules for bothcosting and use. In addition to the effort and expense for supportingtactical integration, a feature shared with Camp Lejeune’s use forMEB-level training, Eglin MEB training requires payment of a usagefee and large TAD costs.

Summary of candidate MEB training areas

We have seen that all three areas, SW CONUS, Mid-LANT, andGOMEX, can support operational and tactical MEB training. Eachcontains sea, shore, port, and land maneuver areas, and supports live-fire combined-arms training. Table 11, also shown in the executivesummary, summarizes the comparison of these areas.

Page 49: Analysis of Marine Expeditionary Brigade Training Areas · 2012. 6. 28. · This research memorandum documents our analysis of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment

The areas require different levels of operational and tactical simula-tion support. The SW CONUS battalion and brigade maneuver fireareas are far enough apart to support operational planning and deci-sion-making training. The MEB Mid-LANT supports operationaltraining, but tactical training requires simulation to supportbattalion-level training. Mid-LANT brigade training will likely requirerepresentative units supported by tactical engagement simulation ofconstructive forces to support operational and tactical training.GOMEX will collapse the operational into the tactical training envi-ronment; the lack of nearby battalion and above training areas meansthat operational-level simulations will likely be needed to allow differ-ent areas in the Eglin MTRFB to simulate rear, close, and deep oper-ating areas, using simulations to support integration of representativeand constructive forces.

Thus, while all areas support MEB training using fielded forces andlive fire, using SW CONUS to Camp Lejeune to GOMEX requiresincreasing degrees of simulation support, and likely the use of con-structive and representative tactical forces. Our methodology detailswhat training requirements these training aids support, but cannotassess the impact of increasing use of constructive forces and simu-lated engagements on the value of MEB training.

Summary

This memorandum documented our analysis of the MEB trainingenvironment. We presented a method for determining the requiredenvironmental characteristics to support MEB training. This methodshowed that each statement of MEB responsibility was also a state-ment about an element of the training environment required to sup-port training that responsibility. Thus, the set of all MEBresponsibilities defines the minimum requirements for the support-ing MEB training environment. We presented a method for identify-ing the subset of required characteristics of the physical trainingenvironment. Finally, we showed how the set of physical characteris-tics can help configure both a notional and actual training environ-ment. The remainder of the memorandum detail the results ofcomparing MEB training in southwestern continental U.S., the mid-Atlantic coast, and the northern Gulf of Mexico coast.

The following bullets capture the memorandum’s significant results.

Identification of the MEB training environment

• Each MEB responsibility, or any piece of command guidance,answers the “who?, what?, and why?” questions of the trainingenvironment. Some guidance answers “where?” or “when?”

• The subset of “where or when” guidance for the body of MEBguidance determines the minimal requirements of physicalMEB training environment.

• The analytic tool for converting command guidance into train-ing environment requirements is standard lexical analysis, thatis, identifying the parts of speech in each guidance sentence.

— Subject = Who, the training audience

— Verb clause = Why, the training requirement

— Verb object and adverb = What, required characteristic.

• The subset of answers to “What and where” for a set of trainingguidance names the “people, places, and things” the trainingenvironment must contain.

• Analysis of the collection of training areas (places) and things(objects or actions in the training areas) for a set of commandguidance allows the construction of a notional training envi-ronment, a set of required training areas, and content pairs.

• Each area-content pair is associated with at least one, and usu-ally many, training responsibilities that tell “why” the area-con-tent pair is required in the training environment, and whoneeds it.

Analysis of candidate MEB training areas

• Three candidate MEB training areas, SW CONUS, Mid-LANT,and GOMEX, were analyzed to match the set required area-content pairs to capabilities of the training area. We consideredthe combined capabilities of multiple civilian and militaryinfrastructure elements.

46

Page 51: Analysis of Marine Expeditionary Brigade Training Areas · 2012. 6. 28. · This research memorandum documents our analysis of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) training environment

• We concluded that all areas were s able to support some formof MEB training, although Camp Lejeune and GOMEX wouldrequire extensive computer simulation and the use of construc-tive forces and terrain to support tactical-level MEB training,and GOMEX would require simulation to support operational-level training.

• Camp Lejeune and GOMEX are better suited for tacticallyfocused, battalion-scale, MEB training, where as SW CONUS issuitable for operationally focused, brigade-scale MEB training.

• In situations where simulation and constructive training ele-ments are required, the guidance-environment approach yieldsa method to define the requirements for the supporting simu-lations and define the supporting constructive forces orgeography.

Appendix A

Appendix A

Appendix A lists the parsed MEB element responsibilities derived inreference [2], appendix A-D. Table 12 gives each guidance statementand breaks that statement into subject, (MAGTF element and sec-tion), verb, verb modifier, object, and object modifier. Further thetable identifies if the statement referred to battlespace, assets, or peo-ple, as well indicating if that reference occurred as the direct object(O) as verb as object modifier (M). Finally the table lists the relevantoperational phase and maximum warfare-level for the task.
