New in 2021: Will 2021 see Marines hunting for subs?

Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger wants the Marine Corps to get into submarine hunting while deployed on expeditionary advanced bases.

The expeditionary advanced base concept has been developed as the Marine Corps shifts its focus away from the Middle East toward near-peer competitors like China and Russia. The concept sees small units of Marines spread out on bases in the littorals of a future battlefield.

While there, Marines can either provide logistic support Navy P-8A Poseidons and MH-60R Seahawks as they conduct submarine hunting missions. Or, the Marines armed with underwater sensors can do their own submarine hunting.
