During DSCA operations, the Navy-Marine Corps team can provide local authorities with timely support, allowing them to send aid to areas in the United States where the infrastructure might be damaged beyond the local authorities’ capabilities. CLB-15 provides a wide array of capabilities during a DSCA operation, from resupplying forward areas with the Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement, to recovering wreckages during disaster relief operation with the M88 recovery vehicles and the Logistics Vehicle Systems.
