What will warfare look like in ten, twenty or even thirty years? How will new technologies fundamentally change the character of warfare? What is the future role of land power within the integrated force? These are some of the questions the Australian Army's Land Force Design team question daily to inform and design concepts. Just like building a house, you would never proceed without a set of plans. For Army, planning how to respond to an ever-evolving threat requires vigorous, considered and innovative planning. In this episode of the Adapting Army Podcast Lieutenant Colonel Wesley Bartlett, Lead, Land Concepts and Major Simon Croft, SO2 Land Concepts at Land Force Design discuss what drives concepts and how they're designed, trialled and tested.
In this early access episode 3 of On Future War Mike ‘Pako 'Benitez (USAF), Dr. Lance ‘Boil' Lewis (USMC) and Scott ‘Roger' Chafian (USN). explore the background and rationale behind the Marine Corps' Force Design 2030, which has fundamentally changed the doctrine, and operating concepts of the US Marine Corps. Removing tanks and transitioning from artillery to rocket units were just the first part of the plan. Standing up Marine Littoral Regiments (MLR), as part of naval expeditionary force, enables greater mobility, sustainability, and operations in the maritime domain, giving commanders greater options for sea denial operations. We also discuss the impact of Force Design 2030 on the other services, highlighting how jointness and interdependencies are crucial for effective military operations. Hosted on Acast.

The Marine Corps is currently mid-Force Design 2030 implementation and depending on where you sit: Active Duty, Reserve, Retired, a member of a sister service, curious taxpayer, or one of our many Allies/Partners; you are aware of some of the paradigm-shifting changes. Much of the information provided to these audiences is post-decisional. The rigor, applied by the Combat Development and Integration Enterprise, to inform Force Design 2030 modernization efforts is often ignored for the sensational headline. Today, we're going to dive into the world of wargaming and the organization responsible for this effort, The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory or MCWL. On this episode, Tripp chats with the Director of the Wargaming Division at Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, Col. George Schreffler.

Douglas Macgregor is a decorated combat veteran, the author of five books, a PhD, and a defense and foreign policy consultant. He was commissioned in the Regular Army in 1976 after 1 year at VMI and 4 years at West Point. In 2004, Macgregor retired with the rank of Colonel. In 2020, the President appointed Macgregor to serve as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense, a post he held until President Trump left office. He holds an MA in comparative politics and a PhD in international relations from the University of Virginia. Macgregor is widely known inside the U.S., Europe, Israel, Russia, China and Korea for both his leadership in the Battle of 73 Easting, the U.S. Army's largest tank battle since World War II, and for his ground breaking books on military transformation: Breaking the Phalanx (Praeger, 1997) and Transformation under Fire (Praeger, 2003). Macgregor's recommendations for change in Force Design and “integrated all arms-all effects” operations have profoundly influenced force development in Israel, Russia and China. In 2010, Macgregor traveled to Seoul, Korea to advise the ROK Ministry of Defense on force design. In 2019, Transformation under Fire was selected by Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi, Chief of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), as the intellectual basis for IDF transformation. His fifth book, Margin of Victory: Five Battles that Changed the Face of Modern War from Naval Institute Press is available in Chinese, as well as, English and will soon appear in Hebrew. In 28 years of service Macgregor taught in the Department of Social Sciences at West Point, commanded the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry, and served as the Director of the Joint Operations Center at SHAPE during the 1999 Kosovo Air Campaign for which he was awarded the Defense Superior Service medal. In January 2002, at Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's insistence the USCENTCOM Commander listened to Colonel Macgregor's concept for the offensive to seize Baghdad. The plan was largely adopted, but assumed no occupation of Iraq by U.S. Forces. Macgregor has also testified as an expert witness before the Senate and House Armed Services Committees and appeared as a defense analyst on Fox News, CNN, BBC, Sky News and public radio.

In 28 years of service Macgregor taught in the Department of Social Sciences at West Point, commanded the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry, and served as the Director of the Joint Operations Center at SHAPE during the 1999 Kosovo Air Campaign for which he was awarded the Defense Superior Service medal. In January 2002, at Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's insistence the USCENTCOM Commander listened to Colonel Macgregor's concept for the offensive to seize Baghdad. The plan was largely adopted, but assumed no occupation of Iraq by U.S. Forces. Macgregor has also testified as an expert witness before the Senate and House Armed Services Committees and appeared as a defense analyst on Fox News, CNN, BBC, Sky News and public radio. He is fluent in German. *Podcast intro music is from the song "The Queens Jig" by "Musicke & Mirth" from their album "Music for Two Lyra Viols": http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

#TeamKrulak community, we wrapped up this season of the #BruteCast in style - we were joined by General David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps! When General Berger assumed his duties as the 38th Commandant, his Planning Guidance laid out a far-reaching vision for reforming and adapting the Marine Corps for the challenges of what looked to be a turbulent decade for the United States and its partners around the world. We asked General Berger about his time in office, the impact of Force Design 2030 on the Fleet Marine Force, challenges he thinks the 39th Commandant will need to deal with, and more!

Today, America faces threats not seen since the height of the Cold War; but unlike back then, they come from an array of enemies and are more lethal thanks to emerging technologies. The war in Ukraine serves as a brutal example, but the threat posed by China takes this to a whole new level. What changes are needed to ensure our military can prevail when combat is required to protect our country's core interests? How can those changes be affected when so many internal challenges stand in the way?General David H. Berger, the 38th Commandant of the Marine Corps, has led the most significant series of changes within the service since the end of World War II. What lessons can be taken from the Corps' successful Force Design 2030 effort that can serve as a guide to affecting change across our national security enterprise?Join Heritage for an extraordinary conversation with the Commandant, as he concludes his four-year tour at the helm of the Corps, about leading and implementing change in a time of turbulence.Listen to more Heritage podcasts: https://www.heritage.org/podcastsSign up for The Agenda newsletter — the lowdown on top issues conservatives need to know about each week: https://www.heritage.org/agendaListen to podcasts from The Daily Signal: https://www.dailysignal.com/podcasts/Get daily conservative news you can trust from our Morning Bell newsletter: DailySignal.com/morningbellsubscription Hosted on Acast.

Mobility is key to survivability. The Marine Corps' Light Tactical Vehicle Program has over 20,000 pieces of rolling stock in our tactical vehicle fleet. From the joint light tactical vehicle to the ultra-light tactical platform, the Corps' LTV program is constantly evolving as part of Force Design 2030. The program has a unique mission to divest, field and modernize our fleet to ensure Marines have an unfair advantage for the future fight. Today I'm happy to have Maj Aaron Viana on the podcast to tell us more about our light tactical vehicles. Aaron is the Team Lead for Light Tactical Vehicles in our Logistics Combat Element Systems portfolio.

‘The Enemy Doesn't Care About Your Status' - Upholding the Standard from the Front to Push Subordinates Forward.This episode is a unique and extremely rare look into what mentorship in the Marine Corps looks like and how Marines address each other and the issues facing the Marine Corps; head on. Lt Gen Bellon and SgtMaj Ruiz are the Command Element for both Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces Southern Command. Lt Gen Bellon is an active and violent supporter of engagement via social media and driving innovation in the Marine Corps. This episode, taped during a leadership mentor session to a company of graduating Lieutenants at The Basic School (TBS), is filled with great "Moments in Leadership" applicable both to the new Lieutenants in the audience and leaders of all stripes. Discussed is the ‘uncommon desire to serve' inherent within Marines, officers, and enlisted, being the bedrock of what makes the Marine Corps the organization it is today and serves as the great leveler within the Marine Corps. The newly announced 20th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps discusses how standards, and the rigid adherence to those standards, serve as the bare minimum, and leaders need to drive to keep themselves and their subordinates to the utmost of those standards, to include something as innocuous as a formation for a subordinate. One of the most critical aspects of being a leader is the human component of it, namely the leader and their subordinates are both humans, with basic human wants and needs, like companionship. LtGen Bellon says one of the major initial pitfalls is currying favor with subordinates. Standards are how Marine officers fulfill their responsibility to those they lead. Dropping those standards is beneath those Marines a leader is charged with. Understanding and enforcing standards goes hand in hand with gaining the trust of those being led. The ability to do the hard tasks creates teams and organizations capable of being self-feeding and self-evolving organisms that can succeed despite losing people or changing missions. Creating an organization that can execute mission intent without being told is the ultimate goal of leaders, both officer and enlisted. Creating this trust in subordinates and leaders is gained through competence in both leader and leaders, which has the added benefit of granting high morale within a unit. One of the more unique aspects of this episode is the chance to hear the concerns of the newest generation of Marine Corps leaders and the thoughts of some of the most senior leaders on those issues. Topics discussed include Force Design 2030, Talent Management, mentorship and self-education, and Reserve timing/manning issues.

The U.S. Marine Corps is currently embarking on a restructuring plan know as Force Design 2030. It looks to reshape its combat power for future conflicts with near-peer adversaries, i.e. China. It also looks to put a bit more reliance on technological advances by divesting in the sorts of protective measures it used to rely on for maintaining operational readiness. Some though feel the plan goes too with these updates could potentially lead to the U.S. losing the upper hand on the international stage. One of them is retired Marine general and former Commandant of the Marine Corps Charles Krulak, who spoke with Federal News Network's Eric White about his concerns. Learn more about your ad choices.

This #BruteCast continues our look at one of the themes we've discussed a lot over the last several months, and that's the many different ways entities around the Marine Corps are contributing to the Fleet-wide changes underway with Force Design 2030. We welcomed two guests from the Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA), Major Steve Gore and Capt Brian Atkinson, to tell us more about what MCTSSA does, their specific roles in naval systems integration and JADC2, and how this all feeds into Force Design 2030.

Western political and military leaders seem to be doing a lot of hard talking about military capability these days, yet people and talent issues seem to be rather lower on their agenda than the excitement over technological 'silver bullets'. Poor recruiting and retention rates make planned force designs look increasingly untenable, something which no amount of technology is going to solve in the short to medium term. One might wonder, then, why militaries seem rather agnostic about recruiting from only a small minority of the population when some simple changes could radically alter that dynamic. Is it a lack of will or just an ambivalence to the issues?
In this episode, we discuss: *The experimental and intellectual predecessors of FD 2030 *The frequency of structural change in the Marine Corps *General Neller's dislike of the term “near-peer” *Vertical vs. horizontal structural cuts within organizations *The removal of scout snipers from infantry battalions *His views on the debate on Force Design 2030 *Stand-in forces *The role of air, sea, and land access in FD 2030 *The general's thoughts on the war in Ukraine and the future of war --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/damien-oconnell/support
Host Bill Hamblet talks with participants from the Force Design DARE workshop at WEST 2023.
Meeting the challenges of both conventional and irregular warfare requires mutually exclusive forces specialised in acting against each one. Peter talks to Dr Jack Watling, Senior Research Fellow for Land Warfare at RUSI in London, about why a military force designed for conventional warfare is ineffective at irregular warfare; the verso also applies. There are a myriad of reasons - from embedded culture to training requirements - why this is the case, from formations and skills of Special Forces but also for signals, communication, command, aviation, and logistics. People and their approaches, as well as their networks, is the key factor however. Given that future adversaries are likely to employ both means (unconventional and conventional) to challenge the status quo, nations will need to either construct forces for each strategic approach they face, or specialise in one. Alternatively, states can try to do both with a single force structure and probably - judging on historical evidence, and some contemporary examples too - fail. In times increasing global tensions when autocracies are leaning towards the use of military force as a key lever of power, the decision facing political leaders is whether to fund their militaries or rely on the doctrine of hopeless optimism.
#TeamKrulak community, you've joined us for past #BruteCast discussions on Force Design 2030, wargaming future concepts, and Talent Management 2030 - now the last piece of the vision laid out in the 2019 Commandant's Planning Guidance has dropped into place. On January 24, "Training and Education 2030" was released, and we were excited to welcome two Marines from Training and Education Command to explain it. LtCol Mark Saville and Maj Matthew Morse walked us through how Training and Education 2030 will prepare the future force with improvements to doctrine, training from the individual to the Service level, data sharing, and professional military education.

The #BruteCast audience knows that we've had several episodes this year in which we asked the question: What will the next fight look like, and what changes must be made to compete and win? In the context of the institutional restructuring undertaken through Force Design 2030, these are important questions. Today, we look at the problem through the lens of another topic we've often focused on, and that is wargaming. In May 2022, the students of the School of Advanced Warfighting at Marine Corps University looked at the hard choices an institution must make to design a force capable of outperforming a committed adversary, and tested these choices in a series of open-source wargames; and recently, the US Naval Institute's Proceedings journal published three articles that highlighted these games. LtCol Brian Kerg and Maj Tyler Quinn, both part of the student cadre that ran these games as well as contributors to the articles, are here today to talk about what they learned and how those lessons apply to the challenges that Force Design 2030 is trying to face. The articles which our guests reference in this presentation can be found below: The 'Agile' Wargames that Can Test Force Design, Part 1 (https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2022/november/agile-wargames-can-test-force-design-part-1) The 'Agile' Wargames that Can Test Force Design, Part 2 (https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2022/november/agile-wargames-can-test-force-design-part-2) The 'Agile' Wargames that Can Test Force Design, Part 3 (https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2022/november/agile-wargames-can-test-force-design-part-3) Enjoyed this episode?

Force Design 2030 guidance emphasizes the need for "resilient communication architectures capable of closing kill chains in austere environments." With that comes the need to equip our Marines with the communications equipment to meet that mission. Communication and information systems, such as ground radios, are critical to providing Marines reliable, secure and flexible communication networks - a critical component of our warfighter's tool kit. The modern battlespace relies on radios for situational awareness, decision-making and information sharing. Product Manager Ground Radios acquires the systems Marines need to communicate securely, including in satellite-denied environments. On this episode, Tripp chats with the Product Manager for Ground Radios, Maj. Joshua Kapp. The views expressed in this podcast reflect those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views, policies, or positions or the United States Marine Corps or Department of Defense.

Matt and Tim start off with some banter about one of the biggest topics on social media and news outlets right now. Why it shouldn't matter and how we are to blame. Next we go into how the European energy crisis will most likely effect the global markets. As well as how this could be the things that spurs the Ukraine conflict into something larger then it should be.

The Force Design 2030 update released in May emphasized that the Corps must continue to develop concepts for resilient logistics webs in a contested environment with multiple options for support, to include distribution networks, and multi-domain delivery methods. Marine Corps Systems Command's Logistics Combat Element Systems Portfolio provides and sustains many of these capabilities for the Fleet Marine Force. LCES equips and sustains our Marines with engineering, supply, maintenance, ammunition and tactical wheeled vehicle systems and solutions to support various missions and enable lethality. On this episode, Manny sits down with the portfolio manager for LCES, Col. John Gutierrez.

Hot on the heels of our talent management discussion with Gen Eric Smith, we were excited to welcome guests to the #BruteCast who not only have front row seats to Force Design 2030 but are helping to drive the bus. We talked with Major General Frank Donovan, commanding general of the 2d Marine Division, and Command Master Chief Scottie Cox, who serves as the senior enlisted Navy advisor to the division. For those who've been tracking Force Design 2030, you'll know that the 2d Marine Division recently returned from their mission under Task Force 61/2 in the 6th Fleet Area of Operations, and working with the US Navy and partners and allies from the Mediterranean to the Baltic Sea. The Task Force also conducted real-world experimentation on several of the concepts highlighted in Force Design 2030, such as the Stand-In Force and multi-domain reconnaissance and counter reconnaissance (RXR). General Donovan and Command Master Chief Cox covered this and more in our conversation. MajGen Donovan's biography can be found here (https://www.2ndmardiv.marines.mil/Leaders/Biography/Article/516073/major-general-francis-l-donovan/) and CMC Cox's biography can be found here (https://www.2ndmardiv.marines.mil/Leaders/Biography/Article/516102/command-master-chief-scwexw-scottie-l-cox/).

#TeamKrulak community, we were very excited and honored to welcome General Eric Smith, USMC, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps to the #BruteCast! Those following the Service-wide changes under Force Design 2030 know that talent management is a key focus area, with detailed reforms laid out in the Talent Management 2030 report (https://www.hqmc.marines.mil/Portals/142/Users/183/35/4535/Talent%20Management%202030_November%202021.pdf). A couple of months ago, we had the chance to talk to the Talent Management Strategy Group (TMX) under the Assistant Commandant about the coming changes; in this episode, our audience got to pose questions to General Smith himself! You can send questions or comments on Talent Management 2030 to the TMX at tmx@usmc.mil. General Smith's biography can be found here: https://www.hqmc.marines.mil/acmc/Biography/.

Maj. Gen. Frank Donovan of the U.S. Marine Corps sat down with Ryan to discuss the recent mission and exercises of Task Force 61/2, from Greece and Turkey to the Baltic Sea. Aside from playing an important role during a delicate moment in European security affairs, this task force was kicking the tires on Force Design 2030, the future vision for the Marine Corps, which we've previously discussed with the commandant, Gen. David Berger.
Welcome to season 5 of the #BruteCast! It's a new academic year here at Marine Corps University, and we at the Krulak Center are excited about launching into it with our students. So we're going to ante up by getting this #BruteCast season off to a strong start. And we couldn't have asked for a better guest today to help us do that. In this episode we were pleased to welcome Col Brian Greene, USMC, the commanding officer of the Marine Corps Tactics and Operations Group (MCTOG) in 29 Palms, CA. MCTOG has been deeply involved in the work behind Force Design 2030, which has been a topic of discussion in recent months both in the headlines and on our own #BruteCast series. MCTOG also runs the Advanced Maneuver Warfare Course, which trains Operations Tactics Instructors and Intelligence Tactics Instructors for operations today and in future conflicts. Col Greene will discuss this and more in our season premier! Those interested in reaching out to Col Greene and MCTOG can work through us at #TeamKrulak at the_krulak_center@usmcu.edu.

Episode 31 is the all USMC episode. We discuss some of the USMC Force Design 2030 equipment plus some commentary on the Stand In Forces concept and even throw in the M777 155mm.
In this episode, we discuss a few stories about the USMC Modernization 2030 effort. Plus, we discuss the latest security assistance package to Ukraine- including 155mm precision ammunition.
Listen in as we discuss leadership through the lens of Force Design 2030 as it continues to take shape and what this means for the future of the Marine Corps. Personally, I believe changing the Marine Corps to meet our pacing threats is imperative, but others think differently. So, we're addressing both sides of the debate. The U.S. Marine Corps' updated Force Design 2030 plans continue to make investments in lethality, but with a particular emphasis on loitering munitions and other technology that can add range and precision to what the infantry and artillery communities use today. According to the U.S. Marine Corps, the work of redesigning the Marine Corps is threat informed, concept based, and accountable to a campaign of learning. Strategic guidance calls for a Marine Corps able to survive and thrive inside contested spaces. Developed concepts are tested through experimentation and wargaming. Integrated planning teams study and analyze the concepts for validation and refinement. You won't want to miss Heckl's perspectives on Force Design 2030, especially if you're a critic, as well as the stories and insights from the leaders and experiences that have shaped him into the 3-star Marine officer and aviator he is today. He sheds light on what he's learned from leadership failures, how young leaders can set the conditions for leadership success, and why you need to embrace the role of risk in military leadership. We also highlight the importance of humility, taking responsibility for your mistakes, building off-ramps in your training missions, and so much more.Episode Timeline/Key Highlights:[01:52] Introducing Lieutenant General Karsten S.

In episode 16, we discuss the high points from the CSIS USMC Force Design 2030 Panel discussion plus some details on the activation of the 11th Airborne Division in Alaska.
Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This Week…a group of 30 Marine Corps generals, including every living former commandant, is openly challenging the plan of the current commandant to transform the Corps into a lighter, faster and more responsive combat force. One prominent former Marine, who served the Corps as an artillery commander, has risen to defend General David Berger. In a few minutes we'll hear from former Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work some of his thoughts on not only the efficacy of the plan, dubbed Force Design 2030, but also on the propriety of such an open debate. Please send us feedback by DM'ing @CavasShips or @CSSProvision or you can email chriscavas@gmail.com or cservello@defaeroreport.com.
Here is the link to the CSIS's forum entitled: ON THE FUTURE OF THE MARINE CORPS: ASSESSING FORCE DESIGN 2030 Col Mark Cancian, USMCR (Ret) joined ALL MARINE RADIO to discuss Monday's forum (cited above)…
On today's episode of The Daily Scoop Podcast, the Marine Corps will create a new information command to support Force Design 2030. The administrator of the Small Business Administration Isabel Guzman says government contracting to small businesses is off by 40%. Joe Jordan, president and CEO of Actuparo LLC and former U.S. chief acquisition officer, discusses why it's important for SBA and government to increase contracting with small businesses, particularly small disadvantaged businesses and veteran-owned businesses. A back to office plan is in place for the Department of Commerce. Jessica Palatka, director of human resources management and chief human capital officer at the Department of Commerce, discusses the agency's back to office plan and how to engage the correct stakeholders while creating and implementing that plan.

In July of 2019, the Commandant of the Marine Corps published his planning guidance. In it was a bold vision to modernize the Corps to meet rapidly evolving future threats. This vision is Force Design 2030. As General Berger developed his strategy, he also made some very important assignments, tasking his respective Deputy Commandants with critical requirements in building the Corps of the future. One of those was the DC for Combat Development and Integration who bore the responsibility of not only developing the requirements, but also conducting experimentation efforts to validate concepts, working through plans to divest of capabilities that did not meet future needs, and ultimately creating decision space for the Commandant to make informed decisions on Force Design 2030. That individual spent nearly two years conducting those studies and analysis, and burning the midnight oil to get the Corps to where it is today --- a strategic naval response force ready to answer our nations' calls and meet and defeat any future threat. This week Manny has the honor of sitting down with the Corps' 36th Assistant Commandant, General Eric Smith.

Tim Barrick is currently the Wargaming Director for the Brute Krulak Center for Innovation and Future Warfare at Marine Corps University. He is the lead designer of the Marine Corps' Operational Wargame System. Tim retired as a colonel in 2021 from the Marine Corps after 29 years of service. His last tour on active duty was as Director for the Wargaming Division in the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab. He also served as the commanding officer of the Marine Corps Tactics & Operations Group as a colonel and 1st Tank Battalion as a lieutenant colonel. He is a graduate of the Marine Corps War College, the Naval War College, American Military University, and the U.S. Naval Academy. Col Barrick recently authored the piece "On Future Wars and the Marine Corps: Asking the Right Questions" at War on the Rocks. Matt Jones is a retired Marine Corps Infantry Officer. His career crossed the fields of both infantry and light armored reconnaissance, with platoon and company command in 3rdBattalion, 9th Marines; company command with 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion; MEU Battalion Landing Team XO for 1stBattalion, 1st Marines; and battalion command of 3rdLight Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. He also held command of the Marine Corps Tactics and Operations Group, and performed staff duty as G3 and Chief of Staff of I Marine Expeditionary Force. He is presently an independent consultant and a candidate for the PhD in military history at the University of Leeds. Col Jones recently wrote "Modernizing the Corps" in the Marine Corps Gazette.

One of the primary focus areas of Force Design 2030 is command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting or what we commonly refer to as C5ISRT. In the Commandant's Force Design Annual Update released in April, he stated that we now have an enhanced understanding of the need to succeed and not just compete in C5ISRT. Marine Corps Systems Command's Command Element Systems Portfolio provides and sustains many of these capabilities for the Fleet Marine Force. Marines need timely, actionable intelligence to develop plans for fires and maneuvers. Program Manager Intelligence Systems acquires the necessary capabilities to collect, process, exploit and disseminate intelligence information. Manny sits down with the Program Manager for Intelligence Systems, Lt. Col. David Bain, to discuss how the portfolio is developing and fielding critical capabilities for our Marines.

In this episode, National Defense discusses the Marine Corps' new operational vision, the Army's leader-follower endeavor, and how the Coast Guard and Navy are tackling illegal fishing.
The Marine Corps is aggressively modernizing to meet the threats of the future battlefield. Lethality is crucial for the individual Marine to be successful, but so is mobility across the full range of military operations. At the heart of mobility is the new Joint Tactical Vehicle family of vehicles. However, it is not just the JLTV, the entire tactical wheeled fleet is evolving as part of Force Design 2030. The Marine Corps' Light Tactical Vehicles program has the unique mission of divesting the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, fielding more Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, and replacing the Marine Corps' Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) with an Ultralight Tactical Vehicle. Manny sat down with Jenn Moore, Program Manager for Light Tactical Vehicles, to discuss these modernization efforts and more. Question, comment or idea?
