Karl, This isn’t political and I hope I’m 48 hours’.behind the Pentagon on this, but I
have to send this after seeing what’s happening inLouisiana.
We need an Amphibious Ready Gro~/ (ARG), with embarked helecopters and a Special PurpQse
Marine Air Ground Task Force (SPMGTF), dlsptached to. the mouth ~f the Mississippi river
ASAP. These amhib ships have the ’capability to’anchor and sustain operations ashore, and.
have organic Reverse Osmosis Production units (ROPU) that can send. potable water ashore b~
a hose they run from the Ship to shore a long distance. They could likely move up river
far eioughto reach’a lot of the distress’ed areas of New Orleans. The ARG should ’logical~3
take LCACs (hydrofoi! boats that can move ship to shore’and can travers@ inland o~e[ the
flooded areas). The SPMGTF shoD.ld, be.,,;,.~ built. " .. a~ound engineers and Force Service. Support
