Well, a USMC MEU apparently is self-sufficient for 30 days. A Ranger battalion, 5 days (which was impliedly short).
No one knows for armor or mech battalions???

The data for the MEU are WITH the ship present, yes? Otherwise it seems strange to me that a force with massive mechanisation (Abrams, LVTP's, helos, trucks, hummers, LAV's etc.) can be more self-sufficient than a special light infantry.
