US Army's Multi-Domain Concept. Seize land, sink ships, fight anywhere at anytime....they're adding more HIMARS to out Stand-In-Force, the Missile Marines.

 

US Army budget: "The Army currently has 395 HIMARS launchers on hand and is increasing the Army Acquisition Objective to 521 to support the Army Structure Memorandums for 2022-2026, and 2023-2027". The Army plans to buy 23 launchers in FY-23, 27 in FY-24, and 55 b/w FY-25 & 27. pic.twitter.com/05tEIcnp5R

The Army took more time but they developed a concept that will have them fighting in any place and clime, able to pivot to fight the Chinese and support naval actions while still performing their primary mission of seizing territory and defeating enemy ground forces.

They evolved their force instead of trying a radical transformation and out Stand-In-Force the Missile Marines.

If the 25th ID gets 200 of them along with getting aboard Navy ships (along with Army Aviation) then we could be looking at a Marine Corps that is once again in search of a mission.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Berger failed in his effort.  Too convinced that he was right.  Unwilling to listen to criticism.  Failure to get buy in.  Too quick to shit on the work of his predecessors.

He is another failed Commandant.

He definitely wasn't the change agent that he sought to be.
