Why do you need a stand in force when targeting seems pretty damn good now?

Volume Four of @TheKrulakCenter's "Destination Unknown" is one step closer to completion, and the editing team did great work polishing the story my daughter and I put together!

They keep trying to push the utility of this thing in all theaters but CENTCOM seems to have all the data they need to target everything of worth that the Houthis possess. A stand in force is unnecessary. No need to put forces ashore unless you're going to launch an assault against them, and that would be the US Army since the USMC is no longer an assault force. The bullshit from HQMC that the SIF will "sense and make sense" never carried weight. We have too many forms of intel gathering that it just doesn't sing.

This concept is on its last legs and will be the folly that we all know it to be.

This evolutionary dead end will erode the Commandant's power to tailor the force because one runaway General became hyper focused on one region and one threat and ignored the rest of the planet.  Even worse is that this dead end is probably gonna move the Marine Corps back under the wing of the Navy and end its stint as a separate service.  Arrogance is a powerful drug and too many Majors, Colonels and Generals in the Corps were getting high off it.
