Scuttlebutt has it that a new Operating Concept is due to hit the streets real soon...as in a couple of days. Supposedly it will emphasize...
1. A doctrinal move to ensure that the Marine Corps never performs the role of a 'second land army'
2. To get Marine detachments back onboard large ships...Destroyers, Aircraft Carriers..even Coast Guard Cutters...
The rest we'll have to wait and see...consider this your early warning order...
