ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Good Evening, Drifters
Author's Note: This piece was originally published June 18 as an e-newsletter.
The Marine Corps has been making waves with their roll-out of its Naval Integration effort, which seeks to strip down the Corps of all its legacy equipment better suited for fighting land wars in Asia. You can read a bit about that, and some of the debates it has spurred, here:
In his fight to change the Corps, America’s top Marine takes friendly fire
Well this past week I got a hold of a draft version of the latest document in Commandant Berger’s quest to alter the Corps into an arm of naval combat and away from its current status as a small Army with a weird affinity for the Navy. It’s what he’s calling his “capstone operating concept,†and I want to take you through it tonight with some notes.
So away we go on a journey to Marineland to see what our friends with the funny haircuts are up to.
Let’s Drift!
