Somebody has to get the Marines to where they're going. If they don't
mind a long ride, they take a boat. If they're needed a bit quicker,
they take a plane. Airplanes typically require a runway, and
Mogadishu had one. What they didn't have was atc and weather. Too
bad the Marines aren't self-propelled. It would save everyone a lot
of trouble.


Why?

According to a SecDef inteview on Sixty Minutes a few years back, the
Commander-in-Chief wants to know two things when the stuff hits the fan...Where
are the nearest carriers, and is the MEF ready to hit the beach...?!?!


AEF can be quicker than any carrier group, especially if the beach is
hundreds or thousands of miles away from the hotspot. Or not.

Need a TALCE to deploy AEF and its logistics tail. Create Air Bridge.
TALCE in First. And get everything there before the Navy could.

No runways or ATC needed. And no particular interest in the USAF or it's
MWR department.


Get real. Were you a reservist or something like that? The Navy
slobbered over our BX and "MWR department."

Just a mission.


Which often involves the Air Force, even if just to expedite MWR
calls.

Ditto 10th Mountain. Didn't see the Navy transporting those folks,
and there was a big beach just inches from the Mog runway.


Hey, ever wonder why the Navy stencils their names over their
dungarees back pocket?

According to a DoD Directive and three Regulations -

The "M" in MARS = MILITARY

The "A" in MARS = AFFILIATE

MARS is NOT "amateur radio."

The only thing that "hit the fan" in this thread is nursie's cursing and
foul-mouthed, foul-minded pejoratives and denigrations connected
with his psychosis of being unable to separate a civilian hobby radio
activity from the murine corps.

Try to stay focussed, EX-murine. Amateur radio is NOT the same as
the USMC.

No runways or ATC needed.


You are fantasizing again. Amateur radio is NOT the same as the
USMC.

Nursie could convert to Catholicsm in order to take a Retreat at some
Mission. The peace and quiet might soothe the savage, disordered
beast within him.

MARS is NOT "amateur radio."
