The Marine Corps has described a maritime cavalry-like capability in all of its current documents, albeit without ever using the word. For example, Gen. David Berger revealed recently that the service is learning that “small, distributed, lethal teams that can employ organic [surveillance], loitering munitions and weapons like a javelin … are much more lethal than larger formations that are using traditional force structures and concepts.” He has also stressed the need for “hider/finder, reconnaissance/counter-reconnaissance” capabilities to sense targets and “close kill webs.”

Force Design 2030 calls for mobile forces that can “support joint maritime campaigning, inherently capable of facilitating other joint operations.” The document also recognizes that the Marine Corps is not currently manned, trained, or equipped to operate in a contested environment — to include the Western Pacific. Similarly, the tentative manual on expeditionary advanced basing operations provides a conceptual foundation on how marines should operate “in contested maritime spaces” to support “sea denial and sea control.” It states the service will develop mobile forces that can operate “shore or inshore within a … contested maritime area in order to conduct sea denial, support sea control, or enable fleet sustainment.” To round out the service’s trifecta of conceptual thought, the stand-in forces concept explains that marines will operate in “small but lethal, low signature, mobile” units to shuttle between islands to support “fleet operations, especially near maritime chokepoints.” Overall, the future Marine Corps appears to invoke the historic concept of a cavalry.

Die Idee das USMC als eine Art moderne Kavallerie zu betrachten ist schon fast schon so absurd, dass sie wieder etwas für sich hat.
