Enhancing Marine Corps Capabilities: ACV training course

Is it just chance or a plan? We've been seeing a whole bunch of stuff on the ACV lately. Is it because the debate about Force Design 2030 is still raging and the backers of that abomination are still trying to push the idea that the USMC is still capable of "force in readiness" missions? As a sidenote. When was the last time we heard the words "amphibious assault" coming from HQMC?
