In a contested littoral fight, speed of insertion directly affects survivability and tempo. Rapid infiltration for HIMARS has traditionally been associated with airlift, where a launcher is flown into an austere strip, fires, and departs before counterfire can be organized. The Hawaii operation extends that concept to the maritime surface route, enabling the Army to reposition launchers between islands and along coastlines using a platform purpose-built for shallow beaches and degraded port conditions.

I remember a year or two ago it was suspected Ukraine put a HIMARS on a barge in the Black Sea. As there was some Russian stuff exploding that otherwise shouldn't be.
