Marine Corps Requirements Call for 9 Light Amphibious Ships per Regiment
By: Mallory Shelbourne



SAN DIEGO – The Marine Corps’ latest requirements call for nine smaller amphibious ships per regiment to shuttle Marines and equipment between islands and shorelines, service officials said today.

The service has said for months that it needs 35 Landing Ship Mediums – previously known as the Light Amphibious Warship – for the type of operations it envisions in the Indo-Pacific region. The idea is that the three Marine Littoral Regiments operating in the Indo-Pacific would each have nine LSMs, while leaving room for eight ships that would inevitably get tied up in maintenance periods, according to a new Marine Corps video about requirements.

The Marine Corps came up with this requirement after modeling and simulations, deputy commandant for combat development and integration Lt. Gen. Karsten Heckl said Tuesday at the WEST 2023 conference, co-hosted by the U.S. Naval Institute and AFCEA.

“It doesn’t necessarily need to be a Marine Littoral Regiment,” he said. “So the square footage, the cargo – and that’s where we came up with the requirements – berthing, fuel, all of it,” Heckl said.

The requirements focused on tonnage, square footage for cargo and the need for Marines to move around the region on their own, without the benefit of long runways or ports and piers.

While the program has faced fits and starts over the last few years, Marine Corps officials say the requirements are solid and now it’s time to start building the ship.

“This is all done together. We agree on the requirements. Now we’re trying to move,” Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Eric Smith said during a keynote at the conference.

The ACMC dismissed criticism of the LSM program that argues the platform won’t be survivable, which has been a focal point of the program discourse between the Navy and Marine Corps, USNI News previously reported.

“We’re part of the fleet and if the fleet commander determines that this high-value package of the assets that we just talked about – all the great things: [Navy-Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System], Rogue [fires], [Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radars] – that they need to move from point A to point B, the fleet commander … the 3rd Fleet commander, will apply resources to get that package where it needs to go,” Smith said.

The hope is to start producing the LSMs in the Fiscal Year 2025 to FY 2026 timeline, Smith said. The FY 2023 budget proposal delayed the buy for LAW from FY 2023 to FY 2025.

That delay occurred as the Navy and Marine Corps worked on the requirements for the ship and discussed affordability and survivability. The Marine Corps wants a less expensive ship that can move Marines around so they can set up expeditionary bases on islands and shorelines.

“It has to be affordable because you have to produce it in quantity because that is your organic mobility with limited days of warning, we move … key elements to strategic points, pre-determined points,” Smith said.

While the Marine Corps says it needs 35 LSMs, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday’s navigation plan called for 18 LAWs, the previous name for the program. Asked about that difference, Heckl said he and deputy chief of naval operations for warfighting requirements and capabilities (OPNAV N9) Vice Adm. Scott Conn crafted requirement language that says the ultimate requirement is 35, but “the initial operational inventory will be 18.”

The LSM program is getting close to the end of the preliminary design review, Heckl told two reporters at the conference.

“You’re going to see a more definitive way forward I think here in the coming months with the timeline,” Heckl said.

In the meantime, the Marine Corps is leasing one stern landing vessel, with the option to lease two more, to test and experiment with the concept. That first vessel, built by Thoma-Sea in Louisiana, went into the water on Monday, Heckl said.

“They’ve put jacks on it – forward, aft. This is a one-of-a-kind ship,” he said.
“We’re on contract for up to 2 more. But these are the things we’re going to learn from and then we’ll iterate on.”

After a contentious budget cycle that began with the Navy and Marine Corps showcasing different priorities in the FY 2023 request, lawmakers in the FY 2023 National Defense Authorization Act provided the Marine Corps Commandant with a direct say in amphibious ship force structure and requirements. While the ships are key to the Marine Corps’ missions, the Navy purchases them out of its shipbuilding account.

“It clearly states from Congress that the role of the commandant of the Marine Corps in defining requirements. That’s a very positive thing. It doesn’t say anything negative about a personal relationship between the [chief of naval operations] and the commandant or the two services are bickering with each other,” Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger said in December when asked about the legislation.

Aí está um conceito que poderia ser utilizado aqui em favor dos grupamentos de fuzileiros navais e dos batalhões de operações ribeirinhas.

Aí está um conceito que poderia ser utilizado aqui em favor dos grupamentos de fuzileiros navais e dos batalhões de operações ribeirinhas.

Para os Batalhões de Operações Ribeirinhas navios com estas características poderiam ser interessantes, mas para os Grupamento de Fuzileiros Navais não estou a ver a relevância.

Aí está um conceito que poderia ser utilizado aqui em favor dos grupamentos de fuzileiros navais e dos batalhões de operações ribeirinhas.

Para os Batalhões de Operações Ribeirinhas navios com estas características poderiam ser interessantes, mas para os Grupamento de Fuzileiros Navais não estou a ver a relevância.

São embarcações relativamente leves, pequenas e bastante flexíveis. Os GrpFuzNvs via de regra não possuem qualquer material naval próprio para emprego independente da FFE. Adotar meios navais próprios daria a eles, a ao CFN, maior capacidade de transporte e flexibilidade de emprego nas áreas de responsabilidade dos Distritos Navais a que estão afetos.

Por exemplo, agora no litoral norte paulista, estão enviando o NAM Atlântico para lá a fim de apoiar a questão logística e apoio material e pessoal. Um navio de 22 mil toneladas para fazer o trabalho que 2 ou 3 navios destes acima fariam sem maiores problemas, e sem os custos de tirar o Atlântico da sua base.

Infelizmente a visão que se tem aqui dos GrpFuzNvs no CFN e na Marinha é mais de tropa de auxílio à FFE, de polícia militar na proteção de infraestruturas ligadas ao poder naval, GLO como de praxe, e outras missões secundárias muito comuns por aqui, principalmente nas regiões mais pobres do país, e não propriamente de uma tropa operacional. Mesmo assim, dispor de recursos próprios para manobrar e atuar com maior independência a meu ver seria um plus para as pretendidas capacidades de tropa móvel que alimentam o CFN.

Mas isso sou eu aqui sozinho pensando com os meus botões.

São o Corpo de Fuzileiros mais antigo do mundo, o Português é o segundo.

[FCarvalho]

Acho que a marinha espanhola ainda estar a dever mais e melhores meios aos seus fuzileiros navais. E de lambuja, mais navios de escolta, também.

O tamanho, a organização e os recursos humanos e materiais hoje dos fuzileiros espanhóis é adequado as suas demandas ou é apenas uma força de caráter figurativo apenas?

No outro tópico da marinha italiana, dá para ver que até 2035 ela será uma força incomparável no mediterrâneo, inclusive em termos anfíbios, embora o batalhão San Marco seja uma OM, digamos, limitada, em seus tamanho e recursos se comparados a outras tropas semelhantes na Europa.

O que os colegas pensam a respeito?

[cabeça de martelo]

O Corpo de Fuzileiros Espanhol é dos mais bem equipados e armados da Europa.

Já tinhamos falado sobre isso e neste momento o "Batalhão de San Marcos" é uma Brigada!

Mako Marine concludes delivery of boats to Mozambique’s military
Guy Martin -7th Mar 2023



South African inflatable boat manufacturer Mako Marine has concluded the delivery of a number of inflatable boats to the Armed Forces of Mozambique (FADM).

Mozambique’s President and Commander-in-Chief Filipe Nyusi on 15 February inspected the newly delivered Mako Defender 470 boats, which were acquired to replace old and damaged boats. The Mako 470 is a fully inflatable model with a rigid aluminium floor and Hypalon (hydrocarbon resistant material) pontoons, reinforced for military use. It is powered by a 50 hp Yamaha outboard engine, which was selected due to its simplicity, ease of maintenance and ready availability of parts.

During his tour, Nyusi visited the Marine Corps Barracks, Artillery Practical School and Maputo Naval Base. He inspected the more than half a dozen Mako boats that were recently delivered to the Forças Armadas de Defesa de Moçambique, along with crew training. This took place from 14 to 17 February at Catembe Military Base outside Maputo and saw eighteen people attend the course.

Mako Marine Africa has been building boats for over thirty years and specialises in supplying commercial and military boats across the continent. Other services provided are boat repairs and boat training. Customers have acquired Mako boats for naval use, law enforcement, search and rescue, coast guards, special forces, border patrol, fisheries and conservation, disaster management, and anti-piracy.

Customers on the continent include Sierra Leone, Senegal, Nigeria, Botswana, Kenya, Ghana, Madagascar, and Zimbabwe. Many of these are naval customers.

The company’s flagship military boat is the fully inflatable Defender, which has been supplied to various African military and Special Forces units for use in all marine environments, including seas, lakes and rivers. “It is the only craft of its type that can be transported by road or air into any area and be deployed to carry combatants in a variety of missions,” according to Mako Africa.



The Defender range comes in five different models, ranging in length from 3.8 to 5.85 metres. The Mako Defender DF470 typically takes an outboard engine of 50 hp, and can carry up to 10 passengers or 1 250 kg of payload. The boat is 4.7 metres long and uses six buoyancy chambers as well as an inflatable keel. It can be rapidly inflated and deflated according to operator requirements.



Mako Marine also offers rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) for military applications, which are ideal for things like harbour patrol, fisheries enforcement, interception etc. These are available in lengths from 4.5 to 9.5 metres.

Other Mako products include rescue craft and custom high density polyethylene (HDPE) boats (HDPE boats have also been supplied to Mozambique under a previous contract). Mako’s training courses cover basic boat operations, courses for instructors, and advanced boating operations, while backup and support are delivered via its Cape Town-based facility.
