U.S. Marines put littoral combat skills to the test during realistic force-on-force operations (This I find INTERESTING!)
More of this but against mech forces...the reality is that the foe we're gonna face is motorized/mechanized! Chinese Airborne & Infantry operate quasi combined arms teams. If the Marine Littoral Regiment is being designed only for the Pacific then battle against an opponent that has those capabilities. An Army Stryker Brigade will be a nice test!

MARSOC and 3/2 Marines Conduct a Company Night Raid to Finalize Exercise Raven
Note. Jointness for the sake of jointness and not practicality is silly. MARSOC is fully capable of carrying out a raid solo. So is 3/2. The only way this makes sense is if MARSOC is actually conducting the assault and 3/2 is perimeter security. Is that the future for Marine Infantry? Perimeter security for the trigger pullers?
High Speed Sea Transport (enough to move an Armored Brigade Combat Team) across the Atlantic was possible...then the Navy stole the plans to use on the LCS!
THIS IS WHY I LOVE MY READERS! Thanks to John S for the heads up on this!
Stunning isn't it.
Every problem that's being worked today has been worked in the past. Additionally (in my opinion) logical and practical solution were ONCE sought and the only thing that kept them from being pursued was tech AT THAT TIME or money.
I did a post decrying the FASHION of trying to move armor by air when it should move by ship.
Well that issue, much to my surprise had been solved by FASTSHIP Atlantic.
Remember the LCS Freedom hull form? Seems like they stole that from the design of this high speed transport!
