Bold Alligator 2013 kicks off...

Bold Alligator is about to kick off to test the Marine Expeditionary Brigade and develop concepts to better employ it.

Meanwhile the Marine Corps is developing a new Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force to respond to emergencies based on transport with the MV-22 and KC-130.

No complaints but an observation.  The units of action for the Marine Corps are and always will be the MEU.  So why aren't we developing concepts to better employ it?  Why has the Mini-ARG, Company Landing Team and Distributed Operations from the Sea Concepts been allowed to wither on the vine?

Why has all the thinking that was commissioned by previous Commandant's been thrown away without thought by the current Marine Corps Administration (I hope you get the venom in that characterization).

Not complaining.  Just observing.
