Marine leaders drop ‘2030’ from name of ambitious overhaul plan
By Irene Loewenson
 Thursday, Feb 1

 
In 2020, Marine Commandant Gen. David Berger unveiled Force Design 2030, his plan for getting his service ready for tough conflicts of the future.

The ambitious initiative has involved getting rid of tanks, cutting some artillery, and preparing Marines to fight in distributed groups equipped with new technologies.

Force Design 2030 has redefined the Corps’ trajectory in the first years of the decade. It has touched aspects of the service ranging from ammunition weight to combat medical care to swim training. It has kicked up controversy among some retired Marine leaders, who have lobbied against the changes.

And now, it’s called something slightly different.

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
