Cutting Weight: Marine Infantry Battalions to Shrink 10% by End of the Summer

In this article:

David H. Berger
United States Marine Corps general
Marine Corps infantry battalions are set to shrink by almost 10% this fall.

The service's "Force Design 2030" initiative -- a planned transformation of the Marine Corps this decade that has drawn controversy in the past -- will shave the current infantry battalion size from 900 down to 811 by September.

Marine leaders hope to right-size units after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and adapt the Corps for a more diffuse 21st century battlefield. Specifically, they want to overcome the challenges of keeping units supplied in the Indo-Pacific region as those units grow in size and complexity.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The Marines don't need no stinkin' infantry and they don't need no stinkin' tanks.  But they do need gays and people who know how to use the correct pronouns. 0380000
