Force Design has created a gap in fire support available to the 2030 Infantry Battalion between organic infantry fires and Fixed Wing (FW) manned and unmanned fires platforms. Until more capable assets become available to the USMC that can replace mission sets provided by H-1s, the AH-1Z and UH-1Y will still have a role in supporting littoral forces and EABO. H-1s can provide this essential support if the HMLA community is willing to adjust, much like the rest of the USMC will have to, to build a force able to operate in a contested maritime domain. With changes to traditional employment of HMLA squadrons, H-1s will still have a role in supporting littoral forces conducting EABO and supporting the USMC's contribution to future Joint Operations.
