I don't like the sound of this

"The other, he said, is a "revolutionary" approach that emphasizes more "out of the box" ideas and disruptive thinking."

There's nothing in the article that describes what this is all about .... but an East/West coalition converging in/on America does not sound good

War games - Marines are losing all future war by allowing the feminization of their services. The officers owe it to the country to resign en masse. The hill has changed - it’s no longer Iwo Jima, but the sec of defense.

Does the Marine Corps have some sort of “future fighting” analytic organization that continuously looks at operational gap analysis, emerging tactics and technologies, and input from operational experiments and COCOMs to propose doctrinal/ TTP changes? In the Army we have three directorates under ARCIC that perform pieces of this role; just curious if USMC has similar.

More PC BS. Sooner or later, we're going to be forced into a major land war NOT on our techie terms. The Russians are even today fielding next-generation jammers that could negate our digital advantages. If we have to fight a war like Korea 1950, where the enemy takes away our tech gadget advantages, where it's a war of rifle and mortar and artillery, we are going to be slaughtered. The men of Task Force Smith in Korea in 1950 were very nearly routed, and they were 10X tougher than today's "time out card" troops (and soon, troopettes).

Because wargames worked so well for the IJN before the Midway campaign. < /s >

This week, top brass from around the Corps are meeting in an executive off-site meeting near Washington, D.C., to discuss a plan that will use war games to shape the future force.
