The Case For Change
Gen David H. Berger

Based on the threat, the environment of strategic competition and the changing character of war in the 21st century, the Commandant explains the rationale behind the changes to Marine Corps structure and capabilities defined in Force Design 2030.

To Modernize Our Corps
BGen Arthur J. Pasagian & Mr. Timothy B. Ferris

The Commander of Marine Corps Systems Command outlines how the Acquisition Community is working to develop and field the capabilities required to produce Marine Stand-in Forces.

Marine Corps Groundbased Air Defense

Mr. Brent Lancaster, Mr. Patrick Gallaher, Capt Matthew Williams & Mr. Greg Kellenberger

Sustainment may be the greatest challenge faced by Stand-in Forces.  Read how Marine Corps logisticians are employing both time-tested and novel solutions to meet this challenge.
