Marine Corps News agrees with me. BRING BACK THE RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCE!
Note. If we've learned nothing then we've learned that overseas bases are vulnerable. Not only to drones and ballistic missiles but also terrorist attacks. Check this out via Marine Corps News on FaceBook.
Relocating all forward-deployed U.S. military personnel to domestic installations generates immediate, localized economic stimulus and strategic political clarity. By shifting overseas housing allowances, cost-of-living adjustments, and base operations contracts back to the Continental United States (CONUS), hundreds of thousands of service members concentrate their purchasing power directly within domestic municipalities. This influx drives a strong local economic multiplier effect, boosting housing, retail, and service sectors while fueling construction projects surrounding expanded U.S. bases. Strategically, pulling troops out of foreign garrisons drastically cuts foreign political friction, eliminates base-access disputes with host nations, and simplifies institutional oversight, allowing the Pentagon to standardize force training and depot-level maintenance within centralized, unconstrained stateside facilities.
To execute this retrenchment without surrendering global reach, the defense apparatus must replace physical presence with a high-capacity rapid mobility triad capable of projecting power from the homeland on demand. This logistical offset demands a massive expansion of heavy strategic airlift fleets, next-generation aerial refueling tankers, high-speed sea connectors, and maritime prepositioned stocks—floating armories loitering in international waters loaded with heavy armor and artillery. Under this global cavalry model, CONUS-based alert units can fly into an operating theater within 24 to 72 hours and marry up with sea-based equipment without maintaining a permanent footprint on foreign soil. However, the operational viability of this system hinges on seamless overflight permissions, landing rights, and regional staging access—diplomatic guarantees that become vastly more difficult to negotiate and sustain once permanent U.S. presence and security guarantees are withdrawn.

FRT's are cool toys but in a real gunfight I think they're just wasteful
I don't know if its cause I've always been drilled on aimed fire, or if it's that I'm responsible for every bullet but FRT's might be fun but in a real gunfight is just plain trash.Frt speak louder than words pic.twitter.com/mL7dCAf0Aj

Ok. This is the Marauder that has a reader of this blog & Marine Compass Points so fired up. I GET IT NOW! Game Changer?
One Marauder carrying four of Anduril’s containerized Barracuda 500M launchers could add 128 cruise missiles to the magazine of a carrier strike group (more than a Ticonderoga-class cruiser).

Barracudas are no Tomahawks, of course, but not every target needs a Tomahawk. https://t.co/PpU1NKIimn
