Efforts to modernize Marine Corps' logistics processes have focused on lessons learned in Afghanistan and Iraq, but a critical node is being neglected. Corporate knowledge of amphibious operations is currently retained only within Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) and through the relationships the MEUs form during Naval Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) partnerships. While logistics modernization efforts during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) have focused on maintaining a common operational picture and supply distribution operations, the skills required to manage ship- to-shore movement in amphibious operations have atrophied. The Commandant of the Marine Corps articulated his vision for a post-OIF/OEF Marine Corps embarked with its Naval partner when stating that '...an amphibious combat force operating from a sea base will be able to respond rapidly and win decisively.' In keeping with the Commandant's intent, the current configuration of the tactical-logistical (TACLOG) group must be updated with same state of the art command and control capabilities, audio visual equipment, and information management techniques that are being used in the ground-based operating environment to facilitate C2 and information sharing during an amphibious landing and the build up of combat power ashore.
