The span of PACOM's Area of Responsibility (AOR) combined with the current Administration's focus in the Western Pacific provide numerous challenges to rapidly deploy within the operational reach of the MAGTF Commander. The prompt response to today's requirements in the Western Pacific is critical to the MAGTF's self-sufficiency as well as promoting the PACOM Commander's Intent of Theater Security Cooperation and humanitarian assistance. More specifically, how should the MAGTF deploy personnel and equipment throughout the PACOM AOR without the sole reliance on a single KC-130 squadron. This MMS concept is to examine the roles of WestPac KC-130 mission essential tasks, employment, and current structure with the responsibilities and force laydown of Marine Corps Operational Support Airlift (OSA) in order to provide higher echelon commands with solutions to increasing lift demands while maintaining the combat effectiveness of the KC-130 squadron. In addition, this MMS topic will focus on concurrent utilization, funding and additional procurement of aviation equipment and command and control of lift assets. This proposal will provide commanders with an overview of lift capabilities as well as proposed solutions for assets and force structure laydown in order to maintain the cost effective and efficient autonomy and survival of the MAGTF.
