Abstract
Through wargaming and analysis studies, this research examined U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and U.S. Navy (USN) cooperative missions with allied and partner nations in the South China Sea (SCS). The wargames were conducted to familiarize wargaming participants and observers with Marine Forces Pacific (MARFORPAC) USMC and USN expeditionary capabilities, allied and partner expeditionary capabilities, concepts for joint and coalition employment, and to assess potential locations and logistical requirements for expeditionary operations. Several wargames and Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) courses formed the research activities, including: MARFORPAC-MCWL-NPS workshops, NPS student team designed wargames from the OA4604 Wargaming Applications course, and NPS student team mini-studies from the OA4602 Joint Campaign Analysis course. Our analysis identified technological and logistical gaps in current campaigns, and provides recommendation regarding communications and procedures across several USMC and USN joint operations.
