The U.S. Navy riverine squadrons are currently operating in Iraq.
They were formed in response to a requirement for a riverine
capability and Navy need for greater relevance in the Global War on
Terror. Historically, riverine forces have an episodic history;
formed for conflicts and discarded at their conclusion. The
requirement were superseded by budget requirements for maintenance
of the Mahanian fleet. At the conclusion of the War in Iraq, the
Navy will face that same decision. The Marine Corps plans to
fulfill its non-traditional support of National Defense Strategy by
creating a Security Cooperation MAGTF. It will provide a
persistent, forward deployed Marine presence in a manner that meets
the strategic security cooperation needs of the Department of
Defense. The integration of the Navy's riverine force and the
Marine Corps SCMAGTF will give the RIVRON a sustainable relevance
that will institutionalize it and enhance the SCMAGTF Theater
Security Cooperation capacity.
