The OpFor at the National Training Center (Fort Irwin) gets more press, but what goes on at JRTC has more relevence to our current problems.

But as for the Marines, it's call the _Joint_ Readiness Training Center for a reason.

When my son was in Ramadi, the Army was responsible for conveying out hot meals to the Marines. Some days, the convoy would arrive, some days not, depending on how dangerous the Army assessed the situation to be.

Maybe the Marines have a better way of training so they can get the job done.

(I have not served. My byline honors my son and all U.S. Marines.)
