The ability of Marine Corps' Air Combat Element to conduct Assault Support Operations is lacking in key mechanisms. Survivability considerations must be considered in training of aircrews, equipping and design of airframes and how doctrine is applied. Training of aircrews to understand the importance of survivability is essential. Training and Readiness Manuals must incorporate susceptibility and vulnerability considerations into every mission set. Survivability in aircraft design and refit must be comprehensive and far reaching. Real time reaction to a threat is not the solution. Aircraft systems need to provide early, accurate, and networked threat information to ensure mission accomplishment. Marine Corps doctrine for the employment of Assault Support is not lacking. The doctrinal basis for the employment of Marine aviation in support of the Marine Corps' mission is not flawed. However. organizational prejudices and momentum create lapses in mission tempo and therefore prevent the ACE from providing its' full Assault Support capabilities.
