About

Since the tasks to be performed in any riverine operation are functionally the same, this doctrine is applicable to all riverine operations. However, it is recognized that in unusual cir- cumstances the unified/joint commander may determine that variations are required. COMMAND AND ORGANIZATION Forces assigned to conduct riverine opera- tions are organized as a mobile riverine force (MRF). When criteria for a joint task force are met (Chapter 3, Section 2, Subsection 5, UNAAF), the mobile riverine force will be so designated. Although Navy and Marine Corps amphibious operations do not require formation of a joint task force, riverine operations are unique, separate, and distinct from amphibious operations.
