Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory

The AWE will demonstrate potential solutions to future Marine Air Ground Task Force challenges. It brings together the “Enhanced MAGTF Operations”(EMO) series of experimentation into a single live-force experiment as part of the RIMPAC 2014 exercise. The AWE is the culmination of a decade of progressive experimentation conducted by the Warfighting Lab. It will encompass the results of previous experiments, highlight selected technologies, and include the integration of Special Operations Forces (SOF) in amphibious operations. Concurrently, the AWE serves as a bridge to its follow-on program of wargaming, experimentation, and capability development
