Zur Force Struktur.

Transition Plan: The F-35B and F-35C will replace F-18, AV-8B and EA-6B. The Marine Corps will procure a total of 353 F-35Bs and 67 F-35Cs in the following squadron bed down:

•9 Squadrons x 16 F-35B
•5 Squadrons x 10 F-35B
•4 Squadrons x 10 F-35C
•2 Squadrons x 10 F-35B reserve
•2 Squadrons x 25 F-35B FRS


Marine Corps F-35B IOC is July of 2015 (objective) and December 2015
(threshold). IOC requires the first squadron to have 10 aircraft in the Block 2B configuration capable of executing CAS; limited offensive and defensive counter-air; air interdiction; air support escort; armed reconnaissance; and limited suppression of enemy air defenses. Additionally, 6 aircraft need to be capable of executing amphibious carrier operations. The aircraft is currently tracking to reach its full operational capability in Q4 of CY 2017. The full transition from legacy to F-35 will complete with the transition of the second reserve squadron in 2032.
