3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment conducts bilateral training with the French Foreign Legion

What is the future of Marine Infantry? Shock Troops is off the table. I still doubt Rapid Deployment Force work is gonna be a part of the future either despite what the current talking points are. Commandos in the Brit tradition? SOCOM won't allow it. MARSOC is as far as that is gonna go. Considering Force Design 2030, the sad reality is that its gonna be a combination of USAF Security Forces (guarding EABOs) and a beefed up JTAC (calling for fire on ships). Does the nation need a Marine Corps whose sole purpose is to act as JTAC and refueling aircraft at austere locations? Does the nation need a force of 150K if that is its reason for being?
