This looks very promising, especially if the Navy follows through on really supporting Naval Surface Fire Support programs in the pipeline. Such a group will have tremendous firepower, especially if they are able to take advantage of all the possible synergies. If they get their stuff together, this force package could take on most small armies (in the littorals).

Why it took so long for the Navy to figure this out I do not know. For so many years we deployed Amphibious Ready Groups separately from their naval fire support. I bet Rumsfeld knocked a few admirals' heads together to get them to see the light.
