These forces may come too late to help much in Iraq; maybe they will be useful in Iran.

Is John "Swiftboat"; Kerry signing up for duty? He could lead the windsurfing battalion.

He wouldn't last long if he did.

But in the war on terror, today’s Riverines will have not only an offensive capability but will be trained for interdiction, customs and law enforcement, boarding, search and seizure, and more.
The Army’s 458 Transportation Company had the mission of interdiction, boarding, search and seizure and more – as well as firing up any enemy along the rivers and canals of Viet Nam and neighboring countries.
The US Army has had boats on the rivers since before the formation of the US Navy.

Not much. Around twenty years ago the
Army’s Marine field was restructured. The only shallow river capability we have now is a few old LCM 8s. The LCU’s are now ocean going self deployable and aren’t much good for inserting troops on river banks. The LSVs are even larger as are the TSVs. We no longer have gun boats or even picket boats.
