Marines with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, use the Marine Air Ground Task Force Enabler-Light (ME-L) at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, July 14, 2014, as part of Rim of the Pacific 2014. The ME-L is experimental technology being tested by the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab during Rim of the Pacific 2014. There are multiple technologies being tested during RIMPAC, the largest maritime exercise in the Pacific region. The ME-L is a command and control suite with radios including DTCS, NGC2, and Ku SatCom and workstations mounted in an Internally Transportable Vehicle (ITV). It will serve as a Point of Presence that connects tactical networks to the Global Information Grid with Over-The-Horizon communications and serves as the Combat Operations Center for the Company Landing Team. It has successfully completed developmental testing and experimentation as part of the Enhanced MAGTF Operations (EMO) campaign.
