Eine Kritik an den geplanten Änderungen bei der Artillerie:

Force Design 2030 is correct that the Marine Corps requires more rocket artillery and missiles for the deep fight and for long range interdiction, which complement aviation in shaping the battlefield.

Force Design 2030 is flawed by gutting cannon artillery.

To maneuver in all types of terrain and to close with the enemy require cannon artillery.

One battalion for every Marine regiment for direct fire support has been and will continue to be the minimal requirement.

The habitual relationship between the artillery battalion and the supported infantry regiment is a combat multiplier that builds trust and confidence that an ad hoc approach to task organization does not.

Recall Napoleon’s maxim that “the moral is to the physical as three is to one.”

Relationships matter. Culture matters.
