12th MLR training with JGSDF troops. Have you noticed that the MLR's are pushing infantry training rather than the sea denial mission?

Maybe its happening in the background. Maybe its being broadcast and I'm just not seeing it but it appears that the infantry side of the MLR is being pushed harder than the sea denial side. Additionally it seems that the resupply issue while being worked seems to be intractable. Still think its a bad idea. Still think its on theater specific. Still think that transforming the entire Marine Corps to the sea denial mission is a HUGE mistake but they're dug in.
