Mines are small, cheap, easy to hide, easy to store, and can be clandestinely laid from virtually any type of platform. They have quickly become the favorite weapon of terrorists, and have been used by formal forces to protect and disrupt the coastline. The development of new concepts by the Marine Corps, such as Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW), Operational Maneuver from the Sea (OMFTS), and Ship-to-Objective Maneuver (STOM) have brought mine countermeasures (MCM) to the forefront. Considering the current mine threat, does the Marine Corps still have a forcible entry capability. The Navy is responsible for MCM missions in Deep Water (> 200'), Shallow Water (40'- 200'), Very Shallow Water (10'-40'), and the Surf Zone.
