A better plan for the Marine Corps and the nation: Vision 2035

The Marine Corps’ current plan, Force Design 2030, eliminates critical war-fighting capabilities and radically restructures the Marine Corps as a force to support sea denial operations in a Pacific war with China.
But, a new proposal for the Marine Corps, created by retired Marine generals and available online, offers an alternative approach.
Vision 2035 seeks to restore and enhance the Marine Corps’ principal role as the nation’s premier expeditionary force-in-readiness — organized, trained and equipped for forward presence and global response in support of the combatant commanders and their regional campaigns to compete and win against adversaries across the spectrum of conflict.
At the core of Vision 2035 is the Marine air-ground task force. Each MAGTF has unique and incomparable war-fighting capabilities, which are flexible and scalable. They contain organic aviation, ground and logistic units under a single command element, making them integrated and self-sustaining.
