Reinforce deploying Carrier Strike Groups (CSGs) with a crisis response force package (a Marine Expeditionary Element, or MEE) composed of a Marine Weapons Platoon and a four ship detachment of V-22 Ospreys. This force package significantly improves the Navy's existing Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP), Special Operations Forces (SOF) support, Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief (HA/DR), Security Cooperation and Forward Engagement capability, and adds Raid, Vertical Board Search and Seizure (VBSS) and Non-Combatant Evacuation Operations (NEO) capability. The MEE could operate independently or form the foundation for an expanded SOF unit. SOF personnel could be already embarked or sent to rendezvous with the MEE on short notice to accomplish a specific mission. The force packages pre-deployment workup training would be balanced between shipboard operations and training with designated USSOCOM units in order to establish a baseline capability of mission essential tasks. The end state is a modular expeditionary unit in support of a CSG, providing SOF mobility and supporting fire power tailored to the operational commander's needs.
