HQMC Current Operations Brief pdf (25 Apr 2014).

Pay careful attention to page 7.  It seems that HQMC is taking baby steps toward the Navy's position of "rolling back" enemy defenses to conduct amphibious assaults.  Power Projection (a euphemism for the dreaded 101st Airborne/Heliborne MV-22 Marine Corps) from 65+nm out remains BUT discussions on launching from 12-25nm using ACVs is discussed.  The dream of "ship to shore" connectors with launch distances of 30-50nm remains though.
