the projection of military power over extended lines of communications into a distant operational area to accomplish a specific objective

The defining characteristic of expeditionary operations is the projection of force into a foreign setting. By definition, an expedition thus involves the deployment of military forces to the scene of the crisis or conflict and their requisite support some significant distance from their home bases. These forces may already have been forward-deployed, as in the case of a Marine expeditionary unit (special operations capable), deployed aboard Navy.
