On Future War Episode 3: Mobility in the Littorals
In this early access episode 3 of On Future War Mike ‘Pako ’Benitez (USAF), Dr. Lance ‘Boil’ Lewis (USMC) and Scott ‘Roger’ Chafian (USN). explore the background and rationale behind the Marine Corps' Force Design 2030, which has fundamentally changed the doctrine, and operating concepts of the US Marine Corps. Removing tanks and transitioning from artillery to rocket units were just the first part of the plan. Standing up Marine Littoral Regiments (MLR), as part of naval expeditionary force, enables greater mobility, sustainability, and operations in the maritime domain, giving commanders greater options for sea denial operations. We also discuss the impact of Force Design 2030 on the other services, highlighting how jointness and interdependencies are crucial for effective military operations.
