  11. OEF-TS CJTF-HOA FY-12 MARFORAF Seabase Seabasing/Prepo Objectives AFRICAN LION (Morocco) The U.S. Africa Command AOR offers a unique and challenging training environment to include: degraded infrastructure; emerging increased frequency and quantities of low end spectrum missions; small units operating regionally -- simultaneously. These factors necessitate platforms that can facilitate seabased and/or prepositioning operations. MARFORAF will build a Seabase IOT validate that Seabasing is appropriate for low-end spectrum missions. This concept and areas of operation support the U.S. Marine Corps' Title X Wargame (Expeditionary Warrior - 10) and AFRICOM/TRANSCOM SEALIFT - 2010. The high level concept is to float an LMSR, T-AKE, Legacy MPF ship and an amphib up and down the NW coast of the AFRICOM AOR and exclusively support two CJCS level exercise equipment requirements from the LMSR. Both CJCS exercises are within days transit of each other. MARFORAF will sustain forces by employing the T-AKE ISO low end spectrum missions as a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) capability. Based on current experimentation the UAS (helo UAV) would be employed off the T-AKE ISO at least one exercise. Other possible experimentation and Proof of Concept opportunities during this Seabase are: At Sea Arrival and Assembly, At Sea Equipment Transfer, C2 from the Seabase and Seabase connectors.
