outcomes of METOC planning
METOC planning activities identify METOC information gaps, prioritize METOC capability requirements, develop METOC collection plans, assess METOC capabilities to identify shortfalls, and develop mitigation strategies to Executive Summary address those shortfalls. Specific outputs of this LOE are the METOC estimate, which identifies available METOC capabilities and anticipated shortfalls, annex H (Meteorological and Oceanographic Operations), and inputs to annex B (Intelligence) for the campaign or contingency plan.

METOC forces provide METOC data and information through eight processes: collection, processing, analysis, prediction, tailoring, dissemination, integration, and mitigation.
152
why are amphibs used for NEO
Joint maritime forces, especially amphibious forces, are often used to conduct noncombatant evacuation operations. This is primarily due to their forward-deployed posture; ability to maintain forces afloat, thus not taxing the infrastructure ashore or raising tensions around the US mission or toward US presence; an ability to provide additional forces should the security situation warrant; their self-sustainability; and the ability to transition to other types of operations or provide access for the deployment of other forces.
