The article discusses the planning and development of a new Expeditionary Maritime Operations Complex (EMOC) at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. The purpose of the facility is to provide a controlled training environment for advanced diving teams and other maritime operators. The EMOC will feature a deep training pool with various features, such as a ship mock-up, underwater observation, and the ability to create a current. The facility is currently pending funding and is expected to be a state-of-the-art training facility for the Navy. Contact information for Col. Paula Loomis, the Director of Research at The Urban Collaborative, and Matthew Freeby, the Project Director at Water Technology Inc., is provided for further communication.

The article explores Vice Admiral Halsey's challenges and decision-making during the South Pacific campaign in World War II. Halsey faced difficulties in the South Pacific Area, particularly in the seizure of Guadalcanal. He recognized the importance of expeditionary airfields and decided to construct them at Ndeni and Aola Bay. However, due to worsening conditions on Guadalcanal, the forces were redirected to seize another enclave on the island. The construction of the airfield at Aola Bay faced challenges due to the unsuitable terrain. Halsey's use of ground reconnaissance teams played a crucial role in the successful completion of his naval campaign in the Solomon Islands. The article suggests that the Marine Corps can learn from Halsey's approach and establish aviation ground support reconnaissance teams to enhance decision-making during expeditionary aviation operations.
