CAMP FUJI, Japan (Jan. 22, 2021) - U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopters transport Marines with Kilo Company, 3d Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment at Combined Arms Training Center (CATC), Camp Fuji, Japan, Jan. 21, 2021. Marines extracted via Blackhawks during Joint Exercise Littoral Strike, the culminating event for Fuji Viper 21.2. The exercise strengthened interoperability and challenged infantry formations, demonstrating that Marines can facilitate joint force multi-domain maneuver in support of naval operations. 3/8 is forward-deployed in the Indo-Pacific under 4th Marine Regiment, 3d Marine Division.

The US Army is like a bad house guest.

Once they stick their foot in the door it's hell getting them to leave.  

You're seeing the first bit of their foot creeping into Berger's concept.  Army rocket artillery and now aviation?  Soon you're gonna see the rest of their force clamor to get in the door in the Pacific and then it's over.

Weight of forces will see them sitting at the table and then the Marine Corps will be sitting at the kiddie table while the Navy, Army and Air Force discuss what will be done and how.

We've subordinated ourselves to the Navy again.

It's a mistake that will have ramifications for the future but Berger's under desk pleasure force can't see the forest for the trees.
