Here’s where the Marine Corps is headed as it shifts away from Afghanistan and the ‘old wars’

In 2021 Marines have remained true to their origin story.
In every clime and place across the globe, Marines have deployed: from the frigid arctic to the heat of the desert, aboard ships, planes, armored vehicles and on foot.
In recent weeks they’ve responded to devastation in Haiti. They also have given their lives helping save many Americans and the men, women and children of Afghanistan, who faced the unthinkable in getting trapped in the darkness that had descended on that nation.
And even as they have fought, served and cared for those they were called to help, the Corps continues to reshape itself, calling on its naval roots while pushing into a new way of warfare against emerging threats such as the Chinese and Russian militaries that, if unchecked, could mean devastating conflict the world hasn’t seen in more than 70 years.
