The Pride of the American Military Might - Projection of Power from the Sea. The ARG-MEU (SOC). Ground Combat Element (GCE), Air Combat Element (ACE) and Logistics Supply Element (LSE). Supported by Military Sealift Command (MSC), this force is nothing to be trifled with. Also consider the embarked Naval Special Warfare Task Force; while our Marines are already Special Operations Capable (hence the SOC). If I was the CCP, I really would consider if attacking the Republic of China (ROC) is healthy for them. Decisions, Decisions...(can't write that in Mandarin)...
