Gator streetfighter: an under-the-horizon capability for the Marine Corps

Article Abstract:

The Ship-To-Objective-Maneuver (STOM) as an implementing concept for the Operational Manuever From the Sea (OMFTS) military strategy involves the deployment of amphibious transports that would operate over the horizon (OTH). It is argued that OTH operations are not the only options available under OMFTS/STOM despite their advantages. The Gator Streetfighter concept addresses the weaknesses of OTH and involves the mobilization of numerous, small, tightly manned ships that would fight close to shore and complement larger, power-projection ships operating farther out to sea.
