Einsatz und Test von Javelin-ATGM von Schlauchbooten: M.E. sehr interessant - letztendlich wird hier der Kampfbootgedanke und -einsatz erprobt. Was auf einem Schlauchboot funktioniert, lässt sich auch auf einer größeren Einheit durchführen:
"Marines Test Javelin Missile Teams In Rubber Rafts "Like Somali Pirates, But Better Armed:
Teams of Marines armed with Javelin anti-tank guided missiles riding in small inflatable boats trained to engage enemy naval forces for the first time as part of a major recent exercise on and around the Japanese island of Okinawa. The development of these waterborne tactics was influenced, in part, by lessons learned from responding to Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden in the past two decades or so.....
...The Marines are not the only ones to have explored the use of anti-tank guided missiles against landing craft and other similarly-sized maritime threats. Finland, for instance, has dedicated coastal defense units armed with Spike-ER missiles from German firm Eurospike, which produces multiple variants of this Israeli-designed weapons family. In Finnish Defense Forces service, the Spike-ER is actually known as the Rannikko-ohjus 2006 (RO2006), or Coastal Defense Missile 2006....
Putting those teams in small boats, rather than in positions ashore, is a more novel application of this concept. It's also one that the Marine Corps sees as being applicable to offensive, as well as defensive operations, as part of the service's new Expeditionary Advance Base Operations (EABO) concept of distributed operations, which you can read more about in detail in this previous War Zone story...
I can think of many pieces of terrain in Europe, near Turkey, in different places" Captain Kohler said. "There's small islands everywhere, right?..
How future Marine Corps small boat operations continue to evolve in the near term very much remains to be seen, as well. Captain Kohler explained that the Marine Corps was looking at new boat capabilities, "definitely larger than what we've got," as part of the development of its new Marine Littoral Regiment force structure plans, which are part of a larger, radical redesign of the Marine Corps structure, as a whole. You can read more about those plans, known as Force Design 2030, in this past War Zone piece..."
