Golf Company, Battalion Landing Team 2/6, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), board a Finnish U700 Jehu- class amphibious assault craft during an island seizure exercise on Russaro Island, Finland

Don't quite get this one. Recon and Finnish Naval Special Ops seized this same island. Is this a do over using conventional forces? One thing is clear though. Force Design 2030 would be better served with these fast landing craft/patrol boats that the Nordic Countries are all into. The reality is simple. The new Marine Corps has more in common with these Naval Infantry/Coastal Defense Forces than it does with the LEGACY/REAL Marine Corps.
