From a Marine Corps The Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) or MLRS-type weapon. In response to the threat of Warsaw Pact armor, supporting arms and air defense systems, the Marine Expeditionary Force(MEF) and Brigade(MEB) must be capable of isolating the force beachhead(FBH) or the main battle area. In addition, the presence of massed artillery, and rocket delivery systems must be aggressively attacked as far as from the forward edge of the battle area (FEBA) as possible. My paper will use the historical background of rockets and evaluation of the Army's MLRS to establish the need for a Marine Corps General Support Rocket System. (sdw)
