Required Operational Capability (ROC) No. 0215.1.4 for the Combat Excavator
The Marine Corps has an urgent requirement for a highly mobile combat excavator (CE) which can provide Marine air ground task force (MAGTF) elements in the zone of action/sector with integral mechanized combat engineer support. The CE will provide significant improvements to survivability by rapidly excavating armored vehicle and gun pits for defensive positions and rapidly creating other protective and fighting positions for weapons, equipment, material, and personnel. It will provide effective, countermobility through the preparation of obstacles and firing of remote demolitions. It will enhance mobility by possessing the ability to breach obstacles such as antitank ditches, escarpments, and mine barriers. It will provide aviation units with capabilities for rapid runway repair and clearance of unexploded antipersonnel submunitions from runways/taxiways without crew exposure.
