Operational Impact
This mobility capability is essential for maintaining
access, shaping the battlespace, establishing the initiative,
positioning forces, and supporting dispersed forces.
This capability ensures maneuver and sustainment
forces reach their objectives when subject to attack by
the variety of explosive weapons and ambushes characteristic
of irregular warfare. It provides warfighter and
system survivability against asymmetric threats. R2C
operations also enable the effective execution of the stability
operations tasks of initial humanitarian assistance,
limited governance, restoration of essential public services,
and other reconstruction assistance by providing
access and protection to the executing forces and agencies
and gathers geospatial information vital for mobility
planning.
Program Status
The Increment I Capability Production Document
(CPD) was approved by the Marine Requirements
Oversight Council in August 2009. Increment I consists
of procuring light weight mine rollers, robots, vehicle
mounted mine detectors, and light weight route
clearance blades. The Increment II CPD was approved
in July 2011. Increment II consists of rebuilding CAT-
EGORY I, II, and III Mine Resistant Ambush Protected
(MRAP) vehicles, adding an interrogation arm
and Vehicle Optic Senor System (VOSS) onto CAT II
Mine Resistent Ambush Protected (MRAPS), and procurement
