800 grunts flown in?
30 artillery pieces?
Even a freaking grader to setup a runway for C-130's?
If the 101st was just a bit better when it comes to strategic mobility they'd be hell on "rotors".
Also note that the capability they demonstrated gives it the combat punch of an MEU...or maybe better. Much less ground mobility but definitely quite a bit of combat punch!
Budget wars.
Marines better keep an eye on the Army. They're coming at us sideways but they're definitely making a bid to become expeditionary. And that makes them direct competitors whether anyone says it openly or not.
