High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System simulated fire missions within the first island chain in response to destabilizing actions which threaten the rules-based international order.

U.S. Marines with 3d Battalion, 12th Marines, 3d Marine Division execute High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System simulated fire missions within the first island chain in response to destabilizing actions which threaten the rules-based international order. The Marines are prepared to communicate and operate across all domains when called upon to project credible combat power in the Indo-Pacific. III MEF executed this as part of a no-notice, integrated, rapid response event across the expanse of the first island chain to demonstrate U.S. resolve to maintain regional stability and security. 

Notice that infantry isn't required. Quite honestly for the most part outside of delivery, the wing isn't required. All you need are a few HIMARS and Rogue Fires and you're good to go. 175K by 2030? If you believe that you're fooling yourself. I stated that the number would be 150K. I'm revising that. If the Marine Corps still exists (have my doubts...watch what the Army is doing....this is NOT a unique mission set) then I'm betting it'll be down to 100K, the seat on the Joint Chiefs will be gone, one of the recruit depots closed and you'll probably see a move toward changing the law about the size of the Corps.

For all you Berger fans be advised.

You boy is wrecking the Corps.  Not only will his plan not work (and probably get people killed) but he's also doing his best to kill the Marine Corps.
