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.
I can’t disagree. The bigger problem is the “How they get to the fight.” part. One is certainly not air lifting the force en total, so it’s ships. If the big ships are gone, and it’ll be 10 - 20 years for a bunch of smaller ships to get designed, built and incorporated, what is the short term solution 10 - 15 years?
Yes, that would be: the mens department..
