The future Marine force will be smaller, lighter, more maneuverable and with less room for inefficiencies, Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. David Berger said Wednesday.
In an effort to create a force designed to be the “eyes and ears†of a joint future fight against China, the Corps already has scrapped tanks, and is reducing squadron size and replacing most traditional cannon batteries with the high mobility artillery rocket system, or HIMARS.
“We, all of us, love the things we are getting rid of," Berger said during his Wednesday morning the keynote speech at the virtual Modern Day Marine expo held from Quantico, Virginia. “We have to make hard decisions about what we must retain."
