Force Design 2030

When you think of the United States Marine Corps, the first thing that comes to mind is the deep-rooted Naval traditions. A Naval Expeditionary Force is the base of how the Marine Corps was established and how they started to build such a polished reputation. Today’s Marine Corps is shifting its operational focus away from land-based operations and returning to its Naval Expeditionary roots. This change comes in response to the global threats that China and Russia pose. The ability to control the sea has been a vital step to the success of the United States even prior to the country’s inception.
