ACV Platoon Operations

Still haven't heard ANYONE state how the ACV fits into the Force Design 2030 (or LAR either). They're pushing ahead but I don't know if they even know how it will work with this new concept. Hell they're even converting an Artillery Regiment into a "Marine Littoral Regiment", so quite honestly I don't even see where Infantry fits into this thing. Its all artillery (cannon and missiles), air defense (manpads or VEHICLE mounted manpads) and ISR. ACV are offensive in nature. This new force is 100% defense battalions of WW2 (that didn't work then). The procurement of the vehicle with this concept just does not make sense.
U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Roger B. Turner, the 1st Marine Division commanding general, observes a platoon of amphibious combat vehicles (ACV) traveling from shore to the USS Anchorage (LPD-23) at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, March 12, 2022. The demonstration of proficiency in platoon-level operations marks the next step in certifying ACV crew members and their vehicles for worldwide deployment.
