This is kind of interesting and maybe helps to define the argument at hand:
http://www.i-mef.usmc.mil/external/13thmeu/what_is_a_meu/what_is_a_meu.jsp posted:
Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU)
The (MEU) is the smallest of the MAGTFs. Together with U.S. Navy forces, this team serves as the nation’s forward deployed, quick-response team, capable of accomplishing numerous missions around the globe.
The MEU, directed by a single commander, is comprised of about 2,100 Marines and Sailors, embarked aboard three ships configured as an Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG), which is commanded by an Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON).
The 13th MEU, working with a PHIBRON and a LHA/LSD naval vessel comprises one such Navy/Marine Corps team. They are one of the three West Coast based ESG/MEUs from Camp Pendleton and San Diego, Calif. These units are routinely rotated through the Western Pacific/Southwest Asia region for six months at a time.
The GCE for the 13th MEU will be identified and attached to the MEU approximately 180 days before the deployment. About 1,200 strong, it is based on the infantry battalion. It is reinforced with an artillery battery, amphibious assault vehicle platoon, combat engineer platoon, light armored reconnaissance company, an M1A1 Main Battle Tank platoon and a reconnaissance platoon.
The final major element of the MEU is the MEU Service Support Group. About 300 Marines and Sailors of the MSSG provide combat support, specifically supply; maintenance; transportation; explosive ordnance disposal; military police; water production and distribution; engineering; medical and dental services; fuel storage and distribution; and other services to the deployed MEU. The MSSG gives the MEU the ability to support itself for 15 days in austere expeditionary environments.
The air-ground task -force concept is designed to thoroughly exploit the combat power inherent in air and ground assets by closely integrating them into a single force. The MEU brings what it needs to sustain itself from the sea for the rapid accomplishment of the mission or to pave the way for follow-on forces. The size and composition of the MEU make it well suited for amphibious operations; security operations; noncombatant evacuation operations; humanitarian assistance operations; and special operations.
Contingent upon "real world" situations, prior to deployment each MEU is thoroughly trained in 23 unique capabilities during a fast-paced, six month work-up cycle that includes three-to- five at-sea training periods.

I think everyone gets all that, except Sith who just keeps taking whatever he is finding off Wiki and then making a best case scenario out of everything for whatever reason.

i have idea what the sortie schedule is for harriers or Ospreys and helicopters in an "austere environment" but i would wager to say that it is quite brisk.
When i was deployed with the 13th, the ship's CO wanted to hit 20,000 sorties (launches) inside of 6 months - that's insane

really day 1 the MEU is standing up for deployment at bagram airbase in Afghanistan, when the port back to ancient rome with a portion of the base with them.. the author even mentions they have most of the vehicles but many are still in shipping config.
I am using the story and timeline that started with the day 1 post, this is the basis for any of my statements,seeing that he was the one that made it famous.
otherwise it would be another reddit post that nobody remembers.

the part of the bit where the author says that some of the rolling stock is still in a shipping config seems a bit odd, in that if they offloaded from the battlgroup's amphibious ships, the rolling stock is always ready to roll. However, if this were a scenario like say in Desert Shield where literally TONS of stuff was prepositioned on RORO ships, then yeah, the vehicles would be in a shipping config needing time to "stand up" as it were.

I really hate the reddit guys story as he puts them in thst most possible ideal situation for whats happening. He should have used a more middle ground situation.
