The Marine Corps is gonna have to make a choice. Either adopt the legacy force and modernize it (rebuild it too) or head full speed toward the Force Design 2030 concept that no one understand/believes in (except for the zealots). Make no mistake about it. What wowed the crowd is real deal forcible entry, amphibious assault. NOT THE DEFENSIVE, STALE, UNWORKABLE Force Design 2030.
