Navy: Amphibious Warfare
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of whether both Littoral Response Groups are adequately resourced to undertake amphibious operations.
- Answer
-
The Royal Navy will be able to conduct amphibious operations using Littoral Response Groups (LRGs) when Initial Operating Capability is established in 2023.
Investment in the coming years will enable LRGs to conduct both boat and helicopter operations. Plans are being developed to enable Royal Fleet Auxiliary Bay Class ships to work solely with LRGs, and the Integrated Review endorsed the Multi-Role Support Ship programme which will ensure that capability is maintained over the long-term.
3 Commando Brigade are evolving to meet the demands of the current and future operating environment and their world-class ability to conduct amphibious operations will be central to LRGs.
