Other sources going back months, if not a year, suggest that the Corps is going to focus on “raiding”. When I hear that I think of what the USMC did in the immediate aftermath of Pearl Harbor at places like Makin Island and Kwajalein Atoll. Makes a certain amount of sense. Why would you seize an island & hold it when the Chinese could simply plaster it with ballistic missiles? If anything the US Military is talking about shifting assets around from strategic bases deemed to be too close to China to bases further away.
The Chinese cannot hit what they cannot see, and even when they see a target, they will do little damage if the target is widely dispersed and dug in. Moreover, expending ballistic missiles and giving away firing positions incurs disadvantages.
