Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) are operating in the Atlantic Ocean + a question on why we continue to have fast movers in the USMC.

Note. The USMC is going forward (along with its Navy big brother/owner...independent service is in the dustbin of history) with the lightning carrier concept. 

The Navy already gets a detachment of Marine Air for its big carriers and now will steal the rest of Marine Fast Air for lightning carrier service.

Question. If Marine Air (fast movers) are now totally dedicated to the sea battle and only rotary air is dedicated to supporting Marine Corps Ground then why allocate fast movers to the Corps? 

Wouldn't it make more sense to simply transfer fast movers to the Navy and get that burden off the Marine Corps budget (thinking personnel). 

Berger seems to believe he can slice the baby, but by doing so he is making an argument to delete the Marine Corps by his very actions. 

Force Design 2030 will have unintended consequences. From my chair, fast jets in the Marine Corps should go the way of Tanks. If we're being intellectually consistent/honest.
