Sad reality. The 101st can fly from Navy ships 500 nautical miles inland with more combat power & ground mobility than an MEU

The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) is able to travel over 500 nautical miles, in one period of darkness, with a brigade's worth of combat power so when our enemies wake up in the morning, we're in their backyard.

FD2030's turn toward littoral combat is a death note. The US Army's 101st Airborne has been practicing (on a continuous basis) of flying 500 miles and deploying more combat power and ground mobility than is found in an MEU. The USMC has concepted itself out of a job.
