Amid big changes, the Corps is still ready to fight and win, top enlisted Marine says

The Marine Corps is undergoing a radical redesign that has drawn ire from some — but for the sergeant major of the Marine Corps, reinvention of doctrine to face a new threat is one of the things the Corps does best.
“In our history we teach Marines that the Marine Corps doesn’t change in many ways … we train, we fight, we win, every Marine is a rifleman — it is part of our soul,” Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Troy Black told Marine Corps Times on April 1 in an interview at the Pentagon. “How we do that, there’s got to be forward thinking, and that’s not a new concept.”
On March 24, Black published a memo outlining how the Marine Corps changed during the 20th century from trench fighters to island-hoppers to America’s force in readiness, ready to respond to any crisis around the globe.
