US. Army Soldiers Participate in Lightning Forge
My nemesis and the 3rd MEFs doom, the 25th ID is doing work. I look forward to see how THEY evolve to meet the challenge of nation state warfare. Oh and have no doubt. HQ Army will move earth and part seas to make sure the 25th is involved in whatever war plan is developed for the Pacific. They could even become a one-off Army Division specifically built to fight in that region.
Time will tell.
Sidenote. The Army is about to move to rotations to Korea instead of basing. That means the 2nd ID is also in the mix for a wider range of missions in the Pacific. You do realize what this means don't you? Even after tailoring the entire Marine Corps for this one fight, the Army will still be ahead. If they go crazy and buy a shitload of antiship missiles, develop those new rounds for their artillery and possibly even setup a few Apaches for antiship missions (against patrol boats and fast missile boats) then they'll lay claim to being the most capable force for fighting in the littorals...even more capable than the USMC and possibly (depending on how they develop their force) the USN.

173rd Airborne Brigade Discusses Their Mission
GEEZ! The Marine Corps has been wrapped up in "concept chaos" since Amos and the Army has regained it's footing and is thundering into the future. How? They're not trying to revolutionize their force. They're evolving it!
Interservice rivalry? You bet your ass and the Army is poised to win and win big. Take a serious look at the folks down the road at Ft Bragg (sidenote, don't give a fuck about the name of the place...too many black soldiers have served with distinction at that shit hole and its a part of their history too!)....and in Italy.
They're coming for our rapid deployment mission and will come with evil intent and serious purpose.
When they get their Airborne Armor back, Infantry Squad Carrier AND start dropping HIMARS or LAPES' them off the back of C-130s we're gonna be in the shit. The serious shit with the most deadly enemy of all. The bean counters (call bean counters the most serious enemy because they, along with 'doctrine dweebs' can prevent our forces from having the gear they need to win).
Chinese CH-5 UAV.
Note. How do you locate, fix and destroy the Missile Marine Corps' modern day scuds? You get persistent battlefield surveillance. This is just one piece of the puzzle to crack the Missile Marine Corps wide open.

III Marine Expeditionary Force; Forward, Faithful, and Focused
The Marine Expeditionary AIR & MISSILE FORCE stands ready!
Royal Marines "Vanguard Strike Company"
Story here.
Interesting. This part of the article stood out but read it all..
Commandant General Royal Marines, Major General Matt Holmes, said: “The Vanguard Strike Company will lead and inform how the Royal Marines and Army Commandos will operate and fight in a dynamic, technological era of warfare.I see the Royal Marines are on the same path as the Missile Marine Corps except with less gear.
“We envisage several of these networked sub-units persistently forward deployed around the globe, with an array of sophisticated enabling capabilities, to present dilemmas to adversaries whilst supporting partners. These will all be at high-readiness, as a capable forward contingency force at the core of the Royal Navy’s Littoral Response Groups.”
In essence we're FORWARD DEPLOYED (the RM's too) in penny packets, expecting these EXTREMELY SMALL FORCES to somehow deter a determined enemy that has overwhelming firepower.
We're setting up the modern version of that old western...Ft Apache...but on a global scale.
The enemy will find, fix and destroy these units in place...with EASE! Part of their issue gear should be a box of napkins for the mothers of these Marines to cry into when that notification officer and the Chaplain show up.

US Army @ Defender 20 - Europe
Baby steps now (relatively) but the Army is getting back into its old REFORGER type days of moving forces around the globe. Can't wait to see what they're gonna do in the Pacific but mark my words. The US Army will be there and they're gonna yank out a seat at the table.
It might seem far fetched but the Army is talking REAL BIG about multi-domain operations so them buying a few batteries of anti-ship missiles shouldn't come as a surprise. Additionally I'm betting we're gonna see a proposal to sail Patriot missiles on US Navy ships to be landed with Missile Marine Forces or even alone.
There is alot more to the naval battle than just lobbing missiles at ships. Extending the range of the anti-air umbrella is important too.
IF the Missile Marine Corps concept is valid then placing anti-air missiles in forward locations (meaning alongside anti-ship missile vehicles) would seem beyond reasonable. It would seem essential.
The Army has straws out and they're actually drinking everyone's milkshakes. Of course it's brother services made it easy but they're doing it none-the-less.
