Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)

An Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) is a naval task force that combines ships, amphibious vehicles, and marines to prepare for and execute operations involving land and sea. It typically consists of a large amphibious assault ship, a transport dock, and a landing ship. These groups can respond rapidly to crises, providing the U.S. military with a flexible force to land troops and equipment onshore. ARGs are designed for various missions, including humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and combat operations, making them a vital aspect of the U.S. Navy's capability to project power and support global interests.
