POM-17 Marine Corps
Capabilities Analysis
• Objective
– Identify current and future capability requirements, including tasks along with their
associated conditions and performance standards that are necessary to execute
Expeditionary Force 21.
• Inputs:
– Guidance (Expeditionary Force 21)
– Marine Corps CBA Wargame (Scenario and CONOPS)
– Previous MCCL (POM-16)
• Outputs:
– Updated MCCL
– Capability Requirements (Tasks, Conditions, Standards)
• Gap Analysis
– Similar to the capabilities review process, a series of Gap Review Working
Groups (organized by JCA) will be conducted April-May 2014 to review and
update (as required) the Marine Corps Gap List (MCGL).

ACV History
High Water Speed Possible
But at a Cost:
 $12-14 Million Per Vehicle
 Initial Operating Capability
2022
 New Technology – Program Risk
 Not Optimized for 90% of Mission
•
Initial Requirement for High Water
Speed 1013 (12 BNs of lift)
• 2011 EFV Cancelled...Cost and
Operational Effectiveness
• Land Operations
 Force Protection at least 1X
 Limited Growth Potential
• Avg Growth 20-25%
• 2012 Established a Cross Functional
Project Office to Look at ACV Options
 High Fuel Consumption at Sea
• 26 Years and 3 Billion Dollars Later
 Less Than Acceptable Reliability

Littoral Maneuver
Threat Assessment
• Threat ISR and
proliferation have changed
standoff requirements.
• Crisis response is come
as you are w/limited ability
to conduct shaping.
• Complications of ASBM
and CDCM defense place
demands on DDG / CG
capacity to protect the
amphib force
• The ability to close
amphibious ships to 1-2
nm or even 12 nm in an
area denial environment
requires defeat of CDCM
and escort to defeat
leakers.

ACV Concept of Employment
 Protected Mobility (2X) for Infantry
and attached Marines and Sailors
 Lethality to support dismounted
infantry and defend the vehicle with
precision fires.
 Maneuver in complex terrain –
congested, urban, on/off road
 River-crossing/shore-to-shore,
near-shore launch from connectors
 C2 to support distributed operations
• One ACV-equipped AA Company provides armored lift for one Infantry Battalion.
• Two vehicles carry a reinforced rifle squad with full combat load and 2x DOS
• Two vehicles can act as a base of fire and maneuver element (over-watch / traveling
– over-watch capable)
• Crew member tasks: Vehicle command, operation/maintenance, precision gunnery
• Mission Role Variants will support C2 and Logistics/Recovery requirements
