Joint Force Lacks “Common Aimpoint” For Modernization Efforts, Outgoing Commandant Says
Gen. Berger said the Marine Corps has been innovative, but still has a lot of work to do.

While the Marine Corps is accelerating its Force Design 2030 efforts, the overall joint force lacks a common goal and timeline for modernization, the Marine Corps commandant said Tuesday.

“I'm not in the position to judge the relative speed of the other services. But I think the speed of the joint force and a common goal in the future is what's lacking right now,” Gen. David Berger said during the first day of the Modern Day Marine Expo in Washington D.C.

“In other words, we don't have the equivalent of a joint force design that says this is where the joint force needs to be 5, 6, 7 years into the future. We don't have a common aimpoint. And we also don't have the speed, the velocity, to get us there,” he said.

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

I'd have thought that would be the responsibility of the Joint Chiefs but I guess it's the enlisted guys screwing things up again.  I'm sure Berger would have that aim if he could. :thud:
