Battalion Landing Team 2/4, 13th Marine Expeditionary Force, conduct Mine Clearing Line Charge @ Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms,

OK. I get it. The Assault Breacher Vehicle is out. So why use one of a few ACVs in this role? 

I thought the US Army would provide armor when needed? Why not have an Armored unit practice this if that's whats gonna happen during a real deal war? Integration with the Navy is all the rage in HQMC. The way the Marine Corps has stripped itself of combat power it might be wise to start "integrating" with the Army...especially in light of lost capabilities. 

One pacing foe. 

One clime one place. 

Sounds good on paper but as they said during the "talk" on FD2030, we didn't intervene in Ukraine (with boots on the ground) because Russia is a nuclear power. Why is it assumed that we would if China made a move on Taiwan? This concept will make the Marine Corps obsolete. They bet the entire future on a recon/counter recon concept that is akin to sending men where you should send robots.  Armed UAVs that simply ask for overflight permission will better perform that job.  Additionally if ANYONE can do it then its not unique and will not ensure the Marine Corps future.
