Summary
To succeed in the one area in which it can act as no other service can, the Marine Corps must be as focused in meeting the challenges of naval campaigns in the Indo-Pacific’s contested littoral waters as it was when it developed the amphibious warfare concepts, capabilities, and competencies employed in World War II. The Corps must ask whether a commitment of limited resources adds to its ability to prosecute a naval campaign and helps it to develop the capability to fight and win in the Indo-Pacific’s contested littorals. If the answer is “yes,†the Corps should move ahead aggressively. If the answer is “no†or “maybe,†it should redirect those resources where they will be most useful.
