Logistics Combat Element 107
The OPP is a temporary task organization under the OPCON of the
MAGTF commander. It consists of maintenance, embarkation personnel,
and equipment operators from all MAGTF MSEs and the NSE. The OPP’s
task is to prepare MPE/S for offload at the AAA.
On activation, the OPP
will
deploy to join the MPS before sailing, during transit or when they
arrive at the AAA. Ideally, the OPP should deploy to join the MPS at
least
96 hours before AAA closure. If this is not feasible, the OPP should be
positioned in the AAA and board the MPS as soon as possible.
The OPP consists of personnel from the MAGTF, NSE, naval embarked
advisory team (NEAT), and designated force protection units. The OPP is
embarked on the MPSRON by off-load day (O-day) minus 4 (O-4).
The
OPP disestablishes upon arrival of MPSs and on completion of
offload preparations. Members remain aboard to form the nucleus of the
debarkation team, augmented as required by MAGTF and NSE personnel
who arrive with the FIE.
Follow-Up and Sustainment Shipping
Follow-up shipping provides lift for additional critical items that are not in
the MPS PO and could not be lifted as part of the FIE. Depending on the
length of the MPF MAGTF
employment mission, sustainment shipping
will
be coordinated to provide all classes of supply past the 30 days aboard
the MPSRON.
Air Movement
Group Elements(FIE Organization)
Air movement
is a continuous, progressive operation that transports successive
elements of the deploying
force to the objective area.
The total time
required will depend on the number, type, and initial locations of
forces to deploy, aircraft availability, range, and throughput
considerations. Some
critical low density/high demand and other sustainment items may be shipped by
air.
Survey, Liaison, and Reconnaissance Party (SLRP)
A task organization formed from the MAGTF and Navy support element,
which is introduced into the objective area prior to arrival of the fly-in
echelon. The survey, liaison, and reconnaissance party conducts initial
reconnaissance, establishes liaison with in theater authorities and initiates
preparations for arrival of the main body of the FIE and
the maritime
prepositioning ships squadron
The SLRP normally deploys to the AAA under the OPCON of the
MAGTF. Early SLRP deployment assesses conditions and reports
observations as soon as possible to the MAGTF and associated
107-19
