Chess during downtime: How the Corps wants to increase ‘thinking’ in Marine infantry
Philip Athey
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger has a vision for the Corps’ future fights that sees Marines fighting a near-peer enemy in small dispersed units, raiding islands, sinking ships and attacking the enemy’s cyber capabilities.
The plan ultimately will push increased responsibility further down the Marine Corps chain of command, with infantry platoons potentially taking on the responsibilities that currently reside at the company or even battalion level.
To make it work the Corps needs Marines who can be flexible in their thinking.
