Top Marine calls for affordable, lethal and autonomous systems

The Marine Corps’ highest-ranking officer continues to emphasize the service’s key mission in crisis response through its expeditionary units, while asking industry to give the Corps affordable and autonomous ways to modernize the force.

Marine Corps Commandant Eric Smith told the audience at the annual Modern Day Marine exposition Thursday that the force design decisions made over the past six years have put new capabilities in the hands of crucial formations, such as the Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU.


“This is about more than ships, it’s about deterrence and denial,” Smith said. “That is why the 3.0 [Amphibious Ready Group] MEU matters, it gives our leaders options.”

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
