They finally said it outloud. The NEW Marine Corps is a coastal defense force that can do a precious few other things...

 

Coastal defense training figures prominently in the Balikatan 23 training schedule.

America's Force In Readiness is now a bitched up coastal defense force. The transformationalist might be proud, but our enemies are laughing. Operating in the blunt layers to deter enemy activity sounds good at forums but laid out plainly is just a shit for brains concept that will fail if ever tested. Berger isn't really worried about logistics or evacuating the wounded. These Marines are simply pawns being sent forward to die in place.
