Appendix A. List of Power Projection Platforms

Each Army and Marine Corps power projection platform (PPP) has a designated seaport of embarkation (SPOE) and a designated aerial port of embarkation (APOE). In some cases, the SPOE is an extended distance from the PPP and for those installations rail may be the primary mode of transport.

Table A-1 lists the designated embarkation ports for military planning purposes; however, military assets may be sent to any port.
