The New Corps
Marine Corps announces sweeping changes to ground-combat forces
They ain't kidding around. Squads will be restructured into 3 three-man fire teams, plus a squad leader, ASL, and "systems operator" -- he plays with the high-tech shit like the squad's quadcopter. At the platoon level is a full drone operations team, and a counter-drone unit at the company level. Firepower is going up across the board. Tanks and artillery, which had been mostly deactivated, are coming back as brigade integral formations.
Since we've started cleaning those Obama-era flyboys out of HQMC, we're actually seeing the focus shift back to where it's supposed to be: the infantry Marine. Now scrap the purchase orders for those overpriced F-35 pieces of shit and we'll really be cooking with gas. That program has been sucking the life out of my beloved Corps for eight years and needs to become a bad memory.
