Lets see...we have MARSOC being formed which traces its roots back to the Marine Raider Concept of WW2 so what's missing?
Or perhaps who else should they trace their lineage to?
I contend it would be the Para-Marines.
Although they never performed an Airborne operation in concert with an Amphibious Landing the concept still intrigues. In some ways heliborne ops have negated the need for airborne ops in this regard, but I still wonder if one battalion of Marine Airborne Infantry could be of use in this day and age. I can easily see this battalion that I propose being stationed in Australia and being deployed by Air Force C-17 in ultra rapid deployment situations. Maybe Guam would be a better location? Anyway, read the document below.
