The 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment will be made up of three distinct elements. There will be the Littoral Combat Team made up of an infantry battalion and a Missile Battery. The second element will be a Littoral Anti-Air Battalion; this new Anti-Air battalion is now known as 3rd LAAB. Finally, its third element, a Combat Logistics Battalion, will keep the Marine Littoral Regiment supplied.

These units will use small Littoral Combat Ships.

The Marines and Navy are currently developing a Navy Light Amphibious Warship designed specifically for the new Littoral Regiment and its mission set. While ship-to-shore will still likely be a real need, it will be more on LCACs and little boats than AAVs. These new amphibious ships will be able to essentially back up, drop a ramp and directly unload Marines, vehicles, and more.

These small vessels will have a low signature and be capable of beaching. They will be defined as shore-to-shore vessels and be capable of operating independently or with the larger fleet forces. These ships will allow Marines to establish Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations or EABOs that act as a foothold in an island-hopping campaign and serve to deny access to the sea for America’s enemies.

Struktur des Regimentes:

1 Infanterie-Bataillon inklusive 1 Raketenartillerie-Batterie / 1 Flugabwehr-Bataillon / 1 Versorgungs-Bataillon

An MLR will be a self-deployable, multi-domain force optimized for the contact and blunt layers. It will persistently operate across the competition continuum to support the Joint Force’s role in assuring allies and partners, deterring adversaries, conducting and enabling Joint Force contact, blunt, and surge activities.

The MLR will be capable of the following missions:

• Conduct Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations

• Conduct Strike

• Coordinate Air and Missile Defense Actions

• Support Maritime Domain Awareness

• Support Surface Warfare

• Support Operations in the Information Environment

The MLR planned for Hawaii will be the first of its kind in the Marine Corps. Subsequent MLRs will potentially be based in other Pacific theater locations.

The approximate size of the MLR is anticipated to be between 1,800 – 2,000 Marines and Sailors.
