mitigation.

252
Q

why are amphibs used for NEO

A

Joint maritime forces, especially amphibious forces, are often used to conduct
noncombatant evacuation operations. This is primarily due to their forward-deployed
posture; ability to maintain forces afloat, thus not taxing the infrastructure ashore or raising
tensions around the US mission or toward US presence; an ability to provide additional
forces should the security situation warrant; their self-sustainability; and the ability to
transition to other types of operations or provide access for the deployment of other forces.
