The first KF-21 twin-seater prototype no. 004 performed its maiden flight.

MCAGCC hosts the first Marine Air Ground Task Force Distributed Maneuver Exercise.

Note. One thing that FD2030 proponents fail to acknowledge is how limiting "fighting in the littoral regions" really is. Sounds good in the Pacific, but in other areas of the world it takes Marines away from the main fight. Instead of fighting as a MAGTF, you will see component commanders taking penny packets of Marines (like MV-22s in Africa to move troops, fast movers in the Middle East to be part of the air campaign, even MLRS to bolster an Army artillery brigade) instead of wanting a complete MAGTF. FD2030 destroys what made the Marine Corps such an outstanding force, that is being duplicated worldwide and pushes this specialized monster that will do nothing but eventually be deemed irrelevant.

The end result was desirable but I have to wonder if I'm just paranoid or being too critical of her. Why pause by some dude on the street? Keep it moving and keep him in your peripheral vision while gaining distance. Glad it worked out but looks like her spider senses need fine tuning. A side note is that in these big cities I don't see how anyone isn't in yellow (Cooper scale) the minute they walk out of their house. Shit is getting real sticky out there.
