Former Marine Generals: ‘Our Concerns With Force Design 2030’
Question. Can you name more than 5 retired Marine Corps Generals that support FD2030 (I don't know of one)? Can you name at least 2 former Commandants that do?
via National Interest.
More importantly, we recognized that a less capable Marine Corps posed a significant risk to national security, our first concern. Valued by combatant commanders for its high state of readiness and ability to respond quickly with robust sustainment from shipboard stores and Maritime Prepositioning Force stocks, the Corps was often the “go to” force. We saw Marine Corps capabilities that were needed today to fight the Nation’s wars being unwisely jettisoned to fund future, unproven capabilities that in some cases other Services already possessed. Not always recognized was the fact that the Corps provided 25 percent of the nation’s ground divisions and 15 percent of its fighter/attack aircraft, percentages that have steadily dropped over the past three years.
----------
In response to our criticism, Marine Corps leaders have claimed that Force Design 2030, Expeditionary Advanced Force Operations, and “Stand-in Force” plans and operating concepts are applicable to a wide range of military contingencies. The evidence for this claim is sparse. The Corps is in the process of structuring three of its regiments into new organizations, Marine Littoral Regiments (MLR). MLRs are built around a battalion-size Littoral Combat Team (LCT) whose primary armament is a missile battery designed to engage enemy ships. The main purpose of infantry in the LCT is to provide security for dispersed missile teams. The MLR also has an anti-air battalion and a combat service support battalion. What it does not have is the ability to conduct offensive operations or to control maneuver units. In other words, it provides a fires solution to the detriment of maneuver. It has no ability to conduct combined arms operations, which have been the mainstay of Marine Corps operating forces for more than a hundred years.
It's weird but it seems that Berger is way out on a limb by himself...and it looks like he's doing the bidding of those outside the Marine Corps.
Is this the way that the Marine Corps gets disbanded?
Note how the Army is approaching the fight in the Pacific. They simply added to their existing divisions but did NOT toss away current capabilities.
I have to wonder if FD2030 isn't more about culture and less about warfighting. Making the Marine Corps more about computer screens and long range fires instead of assault/shock troops will make it a much softer organization.

Drones to take out individual soldiers on the battlefield..
Sniper rifles are gonna be passe'. They won't go away but for long range kills on individuals you add drones to the sniper platoon? Australia's Army has shown how drones can be flown with speed and efficiency thru buildings so add them to your urban warfare package too. So instead of doing missions like that Marine Corps great that crawled thru the jungle on his belly to take a shot at an NVA officer, he can hold off MUCH further away and zoom him with a UAV? Killbots that are designed to track down an individual based on certain characteristics that are unique to them will soon arrive.This is the next deadly evolution of commercial-type drones - as a first-person, precision "kamikaze" drone. Expect to see more of this from both sides in 2023. https://t.co/3dbvFjzRQn

No more "yes sir" or "no ma'am"? So now they have to eye fuck a woman's tits to get their name?
Stick another nail in recruiting. I can't wait to see how this reimagined Marine Corps performs in battle.No more "sir sandwich" for Marines... I couldn't resist. This came up at lunch after filming today. #woke #marines pic.twitter.com/48vPWK0H64

General Dynamics Land Systems presents its ARV prototype to the USMC on Friday
 |
On Friday, we will submit to the U.S. Marine Corps our Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV) prototype for evaluation in the service’s ongoing competition. Our purpose-built ARV prototype is the fruition of several years of research and development internally and in collaboration with the USMC. We can’t wait for Marines to get their hands on this ARV and use it as their quarterback on the multi-domain battlefield. |
