The Pacific-focused Marine Expeditionary Forces are both putting together war fighting concepts specific to how they will fight China with their respective fleets.
Maj. Gen. Paul Rock, director of Marine Corps strategy and plans, told an online audience at this year’s virtual Modern Day Marine Exposition that, Okinawa, Japan-based III MEF is working with 7th Fleet while California-based I MEF is nailing down details with 3rd Fleet.
He didn’t provide a timeline and declined to reveal details of the war fighting concepts that each of the major forces are creating but said they began the process a year ago, shortly after the commandant’s planning guidance was released.
