PLA amphibious strike group. 2x Type-075 amphibious warfare ship. 4x Type-071 amphibious transport dock. In total, they can deploy 8 multi-mission, task-organized marine battalions, around 5000 marines. With air superiority and air support, they are capable of securing and expanding any beachhead our carrier battlegroups can reach.

The Chinese Drone Carrier: Not Just Power Projection, But a New Era in Naval Warfare The Type 076 is a Chinese Navy amphibious assault ship with a full-load displacement exceeding 40,000 tons. It combines traditional amphibious warfare features with advanced drone operations, making it the world's first to be equipped with an electromagnetic catapult (EMALS) and arresting cables for launching and recovering fixed-wing aircraft, primarily unmanned reconnaissance and combat vehicles. Its amphibious role is similar to the Type 075, but it adds a full-length flight deck, electromagnetic catapult, and arresting gear, enabling operations with heavy, long-range fixed-wing drones that couldn't take off vertically like on the Type 075. The real Chinese masterstroke is this: Catapult-launched drones provide long-range reconnaissance, real-time intelligence, and suppression of enemy defenses, while constantly searching for, tracking enemy units, and guiding missiles onto targets. All this while unload troops and equipment on beaches. Being amphibious extends its reach into true three-dimensional land operations: Helicopters handle rapid troop transport and close air support; Fixed-wing drones extend the range: surveillance beyond the horizon, strikes on distant targets, target acquisition, missile guidance, and electronic warfare; Well deck vehicles carry out the actual beach landing. The result is a perfectly coordinated assault across multiple dimensions (air, sea, land), boosting both the efficiency and survivability of the landing force, while maintaining A2/AD through a vast network of airborne drones linked to the operational missile forces. What stands out in the Chinese war machine is the precise integration of everything. There are no gaps between equipment, planning, and execution. It's all extremely well connected. This is the pioneering drone carrier, the Type 076, while the Type 075 remains a more traditional helicopter-focused amphibious assault ship. There are persistent rumors of a future Type 077 or further evolutions, but nothing confirmed yet. As I said in another article, the heart of Chinese target acquisition are drones, and they will build many of these drone carriers to expand that capability. These are far smaller investments than conventional aircraft carriers and much cheaper to produce. At the same time that China projects overwhelming power with its large ships, it is also building a cheaper fleet structure that's no less potent.

Breaking today: America's Rapid Response Force, Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (IWOARG) - 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) Special Operations Capable is deploying to SOUTHCOM 🇺🇸 In a "dramatic show of force," Natasha Bertrand reports that 4,000+ Sailors and Marines will deploy to the waters around Latin America and the Caribbean to combat drug cartels and provide POTUS with a broad range of military options. In addition to IWOARG, comprised of flagship amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) and amphibious transport docks USS San Antonio (LPD 17) and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28), the U.S. Navy is reportedly tasking several guided-missile destroyers, a Tico cruiser, nuclear-powered fast attack sub, and P-8A Poseidon aircraft to U.S. Southern Command. "The move is part of a broader repositioning of military assets to the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility that has been underway over the last three weeks. The additional assets are aimed at addressing threats to US national security from specially designated narco-terrorist organizations in the region." (CNN) The ARG is "capable of conducting global missions to accomplish U.S. strategic goals, deter adversaries, and ensure unimpeded commerce by keeping the high seas open and free in accordance with international law. The 22nd MEU (SOC) provides a forward-deployed, flexible sea-based Marine Air Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations to include enabling the introduction of follow-on forces and designated special operations to meet Combatant Commander’s requirements."

🚨NAVY LOGISTICS 🚨 Everyone seems concerned that the U.S. Navy ships in the Arabian Sea - carrier Abraham Lincoln stike group, 3-ship amphibious group based on Tripoli, and a surface action group centered on approximately 8 destroyers - are running low on food, with some pictures showing the supposed meals on board. To understand how the Navy supplies ships you have to understand how U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command, the fleet of civilian merchant mariner crewed ships work. There are three main considerations - fuel, food, and ammo. 1️⃣Fuel: There are two MSC oilers in the Indian Ocean. They provide alongside Underway Replenishment (UNREP) for diesel fuel for ship population and JP5 for aviation. The oilers can carry between 180 to 150k barrels of fuel. A Burke can carry about 12k bbls of fuel. When the oilers run low on fuel, they will either return to a forward base or meet up with commercial tankers from the US merchant marine, some in the Tanker Security Program. These tankers are equipped to receive rigs from the MSC oilers so that they can transfer fuel to the oilers. The oilers can maintain their forward presence as station oilers while the commercial tankers shuttle fuel. 2️⃣Food & Ammo: There are three MSC dry cargo/ammo ships in the region. To keep the ships supplied one of the T-AKEs will rotate through the ships providing either replenishment at sea or vertical replenishment via civilian embarked AS-332 helos. Another ship would be rotating out a forward base to reload and tag team with the station AKE. The third AKE, along with civilian commercial ships, many of the Maritime Security Program, would shuttle forward supplies from commercial ports or Defense Logisitics Agency depots. 3️⃣ The addition of the Bush Carrier Strike Group will allow the Lincoln to pull back for down time and resupply at a base. Bush has a fast combat support ship (T-AOE) that can carry a mix of food, fuel and ammo on a ship capable of 26 knots. This ship is a one-stop shop for a carrier strike group. The arrival of the Boxer amphibious group will also provide a relief for Tripoli or operate in SE Asia to intercept, divert or board Iranian ships. Now, does this mean every ship on the blockade is supplied to full capacity...probably not. But before everyone leaps to conclusions that sailors are not being provisioned, understand that the US Navy and U.S. Central Command has done this for a long time. At the same time, this logistic system can be more robust and represents a point of vulnerability for operations. MSC has experienced issues with crewing and availability of vessels.
