This Quicklook Report provides a brief, initial review of the lessons and insights developed during Expeditionary Warrior 2009 (EW09), the latest iteration of the Marine Corps' Title 10 Wargaming Program. The final assessment will provide a more detailed discussion of the war game. At the direction of the Commandant of the Marine Corps and Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration, the objectives of this year's Expeditionary Warrior were to examine the Seabasing concept in the context of Foreign Internal Defense (FID) and Counterinsurgency (COIN) operations. The event examined future capability in Foreign Internal Defense and Counterinsurgency in the face of challenges to access arising from geography, potential adversary capabilities and host nation concerns. These factors may inhibit access to potential air or sea ports of debarkation (APODs or SPODs) and other land and sea territory. Seabasing can also mitigate U.S. and partner nations' sentiment regarding troop presence overseas. EW09 was conducted 2-6 February 2009 at the William F. Bolger Leadership Center in Potomac, Maryland. EW09 was the culmination of six months of conferences, workshops, seminars and planning events. The game brought together nearly 200 individuals from diverse professional backgrounds to examine the Seabasing concept. Among the participants were all five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, USSOCOM, USJFCOM, representatives from the U.S. Department of State, academia, think-tanks, and multinational partners including NATO Headquarters, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
