So a revetment back to a Navel support/defence force and not an "On Your Own" attack force.
Still a lot of fangs on the ground, but snuggled up against the fleet again.
As a biased Navy vet and looking ahead at our biggest threats which mainly exist in the Pacific Rim, I think the refocus is appropriate for a Service that is part of the Dept. of the Navy. The Marine Corps can and should stop being an auxiliary force of the Army.
