Primary function: Attack and destroy surface targets, day or night, under all
weather conditions; conduct multi-sensor imagery reconnaissance; provide
supporting arms coordination; and intercept and destroy enemy aircraft
under all weather conditions.
,Stalingrad

Stalingrad (1942-1943) The tenacious Soviet defense of Stalingrad cost the
attacking Germans dearly in every way and set up conditions for a decisive
counteroffensive. This classic urban battle involved large forces and
resulted in innovative urban combat techniques and the creation of the
highly successful storm groups (task-organized assault units). (Length of
battle: greater than 30 days) (Casualties: 1,630,000+)
The Marine Corps Role in Urban Warfare

As the Nation's force in readiness, forward deployed with expeditionary
forces, Marines must be prepared to fight on urbanized terrain. In the past
two decades, MAGTFs ranging in size from MEFs (Saudi Arabia, Desert
Shield/Desert Storm; Somalia, Restore Hope) through Marine
expeditionary units (MEUs) (Beirut, Lebanon; Grenada, Urgent Fury;
Somalia, Eastern Exit and Restore Hope) have participated in MOUT. The
task-organization and combined-arms aspect of the MAGTF makes it well
suited for combat onurbanized terrain. The results of geographical studies
show that 60 percent of politically significant urban areas outside allied or
former Warsaw Pact territory are located along or within 25 miles of a
coastline; 75 percent are within 150 miles; 87 percent are within 300 miles;
95 percent are within 600 miles; and all are within 800 miles. U.S. embassies
and diplomatic facilities are primarily located in cities where the host
country's political and economic leadership is concentrated. The Marine
Corps will continue to play a prominent role in future evacuations of U.S.
citizens, as well as the conduct of peace, counterinsurgency, and
contingency operations centered on urbanized areas. Today's Marine air-
ground task forces (MAGTFs) are deployed as part of naval expeditionary
forces (NEFs) that maintain a global forward presence for rapid crisis
response. These integrated combined-arms forces are part of the Nation's
proven contingency and naval power projection force. Therefore, Marines
, may find themselves rapidly deployed and employed in actions across the
spectrum of military operations. Many of these trouble spots will likely be
located in or around large urban centers. In the years since World War II,
the United States has employed military force more than 200 times. Of
these, four out of five involved naval forces, and

The primary mission of the Harpers Ferry (Cargo Variant) ship is to dock,
transport and launch the Navy's Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) vessels
and other amphibious craft and vehicles with crews and Marines into
potential trouble spots around the world. The ship also has the capability to
act as primary control ship during an Amphibious Assault
