The Army is already drinking the Marine Corps' milkshake and they're doing it WITH Berger's concept! So much for a unique capability huh?

Berger can bullshit the rest of the Marine Corps into believing that his concept is a unique capability that the Marine Corps will bring to the joint force but that's a lie. The only reason why the Army isn't trumpeting this thing is cause they're too polite (with a fellow service!) to rub our noses in it but make no mistake. 

The Army will be in the Pacific and they'll be in it in a HUGE WAY!

Berger's Marine Corps just shed ground combat power for no reason other than he wanted to shed ground combat power.  This naval fires from shore bullshit could have been ADDED to the force and the Marine Air-Ground Task Force maintained.

At the end of the day I believe this is a vanity project.

Dude just wanted to be "transformative" instead of ensuring that his command was as good or better when he leaves than when he found it (unqualified failure on that point...the Marine Corps is adrift!).

LSU got smoked like a cheap cigar today but fans are still finding a bit of graveyard humor in the whole thing....

 What happens if the Chinese response to Berger's concept is to attack them directly with their own air assault teams?  What if the Chinese decide to make their Marines "aviation centric" so that they can directly assault these forward operating bases/refueling-rearming points and anti-ship missile batteries?

Quite honestly that would be the best of all possibilities.

I fully expect the Chinese to at best locate, isolate and destroy in order these units with massive missile/artillery strikes.

The worst case scenario is that they locate, attack in detail and kill/capture American Marines with the intent to demoralize our efforts.

I don't think they're quite as barbaric as the Japanese during WW2 but if fangs are out it might be hard to control a few hardcore Chinese Marines...


Could the fate of this Australian Commando at the hands of a Japanese Imperial Soldier be shared by a future Marine if Berger's plan is carried out?

Hope not...hope I'm not around to see it...but I definitely see the possibilities...

Forward, isolated, for all intents and purposes surrounded, no support and very much at the mercy of the enemy.

US Marines 2045.
