A MEU is the fundamental deployment force of the US Marines centered around 1 LHD class ship, 1 LPD class ship, and 1 LSD class ship.
I understand the MEU breaks down into four elements; The MEU Command Element, Ground Combat Element, Aviation Combat Element, and the Combat Service Support Element. I also understand the MEU typically carries the following equiptment; 2200 Troops, 4 Tanks, 13 Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAVs), 22 Helicopters, 6 Tactical Aircraft, 6 Artillery Howitzers, and various other 5 ton and 1 ton trucks.
Does anyone know how the units and equiptment are broken down by ship. Example, which ship typically carries the tanks? Which ship typically carries the Artillery, or AAVs, etc..
Does anyone know where I can find this information online, or any information in this regard?
Thanks. |
