MAGTF Warfighting Exercise....pics by Pfc. Patrick King

U.S. Marine Corps Assault Amphibious Vehicles (AAV), belonging to Second Marine Division (2d MARDIV), are staged in a motor pool lot at Camp Wilson, Marine Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, Oct. 6, 2019. The AAVs will be utilized in 2d MARDIV’s execution of MAGTF Warfighting Exercise (MWX) 1-20, from mid-October through early November. MWX is set to be the largest operation conducted by 2d MARDIV in several decades. 

That is a HELLUVA lot of AAVs parked in the California Desert.

Seems like Berger was true to his word.  The 2nd MARDIV is running the biggest tactical exercise in a couple of decades?

This has to be part of the experiments that he was talking about with the new concepts being explored.

If the USMC can actually look at this work objectively without preconceived notions and is willing to toss what doesn't work then we're burning with gas.

Confidence isn't high but it is rising.

We'll see what we see.
