There was an article on FR years ago with a howitzer company that also did not speak English
—
If it was a Marine company, your worries are over - the Top Marine got rid of Marine artillery along with tanks and amphibs - turning Marines into just another part of the US Army.
Cannon fodder infantry.
Yeah, that looks bad until you look deeper into it.
The Commandant wants the Marines to return to their roots as naval infantry, with special emphasis on island warfare and getting across the beach. Essentially, prepare it for potential war against China on Pacific islands.
To that end, you have ships offshore to provide artillery support - don’t need to bring along anything bigger than a mortar for that.
The US Abrams tank is not capable of swimming to the beach and it is only capable of being transported to the beach by the giant LCAC hovercraft. The problem is that the Abrams is now so heavy that only one Abrams can be transported per LCAC and the needed upgrades to keep it alive in a modern combat environment will soon make it too heavy to even do that.
The Marines are scrapping some amphibious armor but only the oldest. They are buying new, upgrading others and looking to get some completely new systems as well.
Looked at that way it starts to make more sense.
