USMC Doctrine Changes

The USMC is likely to see quite a bit of turnover in it's upper ranks soon.

In other news (though possibly soon to be rendered redundant by the likely demise of the 'missile marines' under the new administration):

Would not hold my breath on that. There's a document circulating from the guy who is now Assistant Sec Def for Strategy that seems to be all in on the Marine Littoral strategy.

I cannot imagine the MLRs are going anywhere. What might be much more at risk is their landing ship program, which keeps getting kicked back.
 
Officers have always wanted that. The idea of the Strategic Corporal, where the decisions a 20yo kid makes are impacting the strategic level planning is utterly abhorrent to most officers.

As they should be. Any army that needs to rely on such things is an army that loses wars, big and small, as proven by the Wehrmacht's incredible small unit capability being absolutely overshadowed by vastly superior strategic and industrial potentials of the USSR and USA-UK joint alliance.

Berger was a bit of a goober for buying into strategic corporalcy and has adequately neutered the U.S. Marines' ability to do, well, much of anything notable for at least a decade. Would've been better to just stand up a single MLR in the Raiders and keep the tanks but whatever.
