U.S. Marines with 3d Battalion, 12th Marines, 3d Marine Division, conduct Expeditionary Advanced Based Operations on Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 01, 2022. The training demonstrates the joint force’s ability to integrate command and control, expand battlefield awareness, and conduct long-range precision strikes as an enduring stand-in-force. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt. Kallahan Morris)
Getting mighty tired of this "stand-in-force" mantra.
What happened to "force in readiness"?
What happened to "expeditionary force"?
What happened to "assault force"?
Nope. Now these bubbas are claiming we're a "stand-in-force". Sounds cheap. Disposable. Damn near useless.
The messaging on this thing is terrible and the concept is just like the Army's nuclear force during the 50's. Its gonna fail. Hell the only thing I've seen the last 3 Commandant's accomplish is to add so much churn and friction to the system that its obvious that the Marine Corps has picked up the Navy's disease. It's adrift and feeling its way in the darkness trying to find some light.
