The warfighting doctrine of the U.S. Marine Corps emphasizes maneuver and the indirect approach. However, it fails to define and explain how the Marine Air-Ground Task Forces (MAGTFs) fight at the operational level. There is a corresponding vacuum of articles written by Marine officers on the operational level of war and published in military journals. Capable as the MAGTFs may be afloat, on land against a sophisticated threat the MAGTF loses its operational edge. Shortfalls in the areas of operational fire and sustainment, coupled with limited tactical mobility, prevent the land-based Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) from fighting at the operational level.
