The Marine Corps has identified a likelihood of combat in an urban environment. The capability to apply force in such areas is important and may be the key to achieving political and military objectives in a given circumstance. A requirement exists, therefore, for employing amphibious forces against urban targets located along the littorals of the world. This analysis was undertaken in support of a program establishment identify logistic requirements peculiar to the defense of a highly urbanized area. The area designate is SYNTHETIC CITY (SYN City), a map product and data base which provide an unclassified urban setting for examining tactical and logistical problems. Chapter I of this volume provides a brief description of SYN City. Volume III of this investigation is a technical report in which the combat serivce support functions are defined in relation to their applicability to the defense of an urban area. This examination is based upon a family of operation plans, with their associated logistic annexes, having as their objective the defense of SYN City. Those plans comprise Volume IV of this analysis.
