Did the Marine Corps just kill the NECC??

The reason why I ask is because the overlap in mission set with what the NECC was doing and what the USMC is seeking to do going into the future seem obvious.

I also have to wonder about the approach they took in trying to show relevancy going into the future.  Small boat swarms seemed fine but in a peer conflict they were never going to play with the big boys.

At the end of the day I'm betting its real simple.

It's the budget.

It's always about the budget and the Navy is simply dumping every hull they don't find useful to make room for stuff they do.

SO FREAKING SAD! Talk about living up to the meme of health inspectors during the pandemic! Just plain wow. Hope she gets the karma she deserves.

Anyone here any word on what happens to MEUs under Berger's plan?  I remember as part of his guidance that we wouldn't be wedded to them so when are they sunsetting the concept?
