	Riverine Force Group ONE
		Several former Task Force 116 and 117 officers and enlisted personnel were present to convey their "deck plate" suggestions to the new Riverine Force.
		We have a small RV trailer and were able to stay at a campground located on the base property.
		Let me say it is a humbling experience knowing the history of the Mobile Riverine force, and the responsibility of honoring all of the River rats who have served so bravely.

	Riverine Rabbit
		The attractive riverine rabbit is easily identified by the fl stripe running from the corner of its mouth over its cheek, a brown woolly tail, creamy fur on its belly and throat, and a broad, club-like hind foot.
		Riverine rabbits feed on their favourite foods, the boegoe bush and ink bush at night, and rest up in forms during the day.
		Riverine vegetation also binds the soil, preventing it from being washed away in floods and promotes filtration of rainwater to groundwater - another benefit for the farmer who uses windmills to draw up water for his livestock.

	Animal Info - Riverine Rabbit
		Found in dense riverine scrub along the seasonal rivers in the central Karoo Desert in the Cape Province of South Africa, its diet mainly consists of flowers and leaves; grasses are included in the wet season.
		The riverine rabbit is endemic to the central Karoo Desert of South Africa's Cape Province.
		It is restricted to riverine scrub of 0.5 - 1 m (1.6 - 3.2') in height and to areas with soil types that allow stable burrows to be constructed.

	Riverine nitrogen export from the continents to the coasts
		We present an overview of riverine nitrogen flux calculations that were prepared for the International Nitrogen Initiative's current global assessment of nitrogen cycles: past, present, and future (Galloway et al., 2004).
		With this approach, we simulate riverine N loads to the coastal zone and to inland waters from the continents.
		Rates of riverine N loss vary greatly among the continents, reflecting the regional differences in population and the associated anthropogenic N inputs.

	Odds stacking up against survival of riverine rabbits
		The survival of the riverine rabbit now depends on the co-operation among the conservation organisations that are involved with the National Riverine Rabbit Co-ordination Committee, landowners, and the general public.
		The riverine rabbit, an inhabitant of the Central Karoo, lives in the ganna bush of the seasonal riverbeds of the districts of Beaufort West, Loxton, Carnarvon, Calvinia, Sutherland, Victoria West and Fraserburg.
		The riverine rabbit, however, has distinctive long ears, a fl-brown stripe on its lower jaw, and a dark fluffy tail, which is visible when it bounces away.

	Riverine Forested Wetlands (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Riverine forested wetlands are found on the floodplains of rivers and streams that cross the middle and upper coastal plain.
		Bottomland hardwood forests, the most common type of riverine forested wetlands on the upper and midcoast, are not as wet as swamps.
		The floodplain soils of the riverine wetlands are all relatively young compared to the adjacent upland soils.

	NPWRC :: Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats
		The Riverine System is bounded on the landward side by upland, by the channel bank (including natural and man-made levees), or by wetland dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses, or lichens.
		The Riverine System terminates at the downstream end where the concentration of ocean-derived salts in the water exceeds 0.5 ‰ during the period of annual average low flow, or where the channel enters a lake.
		Many biologists have suggested that all the wetlands occurring on the river floodplain should be a part of the Riverine System because they consider their presence to be the result of river flooding.

	Management systems for riverine fisheries
		Future management strategies for riverine fisheries should be concerned not just with achieving or maintaining a certain level of production, but also with ensuring that the maximum number of fishing folk, traders and other support personnel make a reasonable living from the fish resource.
		Welcomme summarizes the evidence on over-fishing for all types of riverine fisheries in the late 1970s by stating that “well-documented examples of overfishing at the [fish] community level are rare and when recorded are often traceable to environmental variables… or to other human interventions.
		Welcomme's cautiously optimistic assessment of the status of riverine fisheries in the developing world probably underestimates the impact of recent heavy population movements into areas supporting riverine fisheries and the consequences of the expansion of highly commercialized fishermen into the traditional fisheries of subsistence or semi-commercial fishermen.

	BROWN WATER, RED BLOOD. The Story of U.S. Riverine Forces in Vietnam
		By the end of the Eisenhower administration, there were five RAGs plus a riverine transport group, in all perhaps a hundred assorted types of landing craft and patrol boats armed to fight in shallow waters.
		But the riverine forces were popularized at an early date by journalist Dickey Chapefle, who published lush accounts of their exploits.
		Combat action for the Mobile Riverine Force began with small-scale activities in the spring of 1967, mostly in the Delta or Rung Sat, the swamp area along the coast.

	Riverine Warfare: The U.S. Navy's Operations on Inland Waters
		A significant condition of riverine warfare is that one of the two opposing forces holds control of the high seas adjacent to the inland waterways where confrontation occurs.
		The riverine defenses of Washington in 1814 and of New Orleans in 1814-15 were defensive and intended to halt or delay large British amphibious forces in their efforts to take those cities.
		Riverine warfare during the revolution and the War of 1812 was characterized by timely and critically important actions on lake, bay, and river.

	Mobile Riverine Force ... Task Force - 117
		Although without the ASPBs the Mobile Riverine Force was not up to authorized strength, the arrival of the last of the modified LCMs allowed the Navy to return borrowed riverine craft to the Vietnamese Navy without jeopardizing the force’s ability to carry out its mission.
		Over forty riverine craft were hit by a variety of communist weapons, but none were sunk, and the majority continued to take part in the operation.
		Following the Tet offensive, the Mobile Riverine Force continued to expand; in June of 1968 a third River Assault Squadron was formed, and, in July the entire force was reorganized into two sections: Mobile River Group Alpha and Mobile River Group Bravo.

		Riverine is one category among others on Expeditionary Combat Command’s functions-and-capabilities checklist: maritime security, riverine and boat operations, diving and salvage, logistics, construction, detainee ops, law enforcement, etc.
		Even as its own operational subset, the riverine role is an expanding one; the goal ultimately is to bring area control, counterpiracy, interdiction, insert/extract, fire support coordination, and identify/locate/destroy missions firmly and officially into the riverine sphere.
		Riverine warfare “was peripheral to the main interest of the Navy’s officer corps” until counterinsurgency warfare became of interest during the Arleigh Burke era of the late 1950s.
