Subject: Navy to establish expeditionary and riverine forces

http://www.marinetimes.com/story.php?f=1-292925-961657.php

By Andrew Scutro
Times staff writer

The Navy is sailing flank speed into the war on terror. And more sailors will be heading ashore to help fight it.

In a July 6 memorandum from the office of out-going Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Vern Clark, a copy of which has been obtained by Navy Times, officials spell out a series of actions to "expand the Navy's capabilities to prosecute" the so-called Global War on Terror.

Key directives call for establishing expeditionary and riverine warfare units with the Navy.

Specifically, Clark has ordered creation of:

� An active component riverine warfare force by 2006 and two reserve component riverine units by 2007.

� A Navy Expeditionary Combat Battalion by 2007. How such a unit would differ from U.S. Marines is unclear.

I skipped the rest.
