Where are the female Marines?
By: Shawn Snow

Two years after the Defense Department ordered the Marine Corps to open all combat arms career fields to women, less than 100 women have successfully entered those previously male-only jobs.

A total of 92 women are operating in a multitude of combat billets across the Corps, from rifleman to armored reconnaissance to combat engineers.

Yet only 11 enlisted women are serving today in the traditional “03” infantry career fields, Marine Corps officials said. No women have even attempted the Basic Reconnaissance Course or Amphibious Reconnaissance Course, and there are no female snipers, according to data provided by Manpower and Reserve Affairs.

Of the women serving in combat billets, most of them are in less physically demanding roles such as light air defense and artillery, commonly referred to as a non-load bearing job field, according to data obtained by Marine Corps Times.

On the officer side, only one female officer has graduated the grueling Infantry Officer Course and is serving currently as an 0302 infantry platoon commander. A total of 23 female officers are serving in previously restricted combat jobs.

“There is no target number or quota for how many female Marines should be in ground combat fields or units; the focus is on combat effectiveness,” said Maj. Brian T. Block, a Marine spokesperson.

“We are systematically executing the Marine Corps Force Integration Plan.”

Block said the Corps’ approach to gender integration is not just focused on the number of women in combat billets but a force-wide endeavor that includes marketing and recruitment of top female talent and new efforts by the Corps that has male and female recruits training side by side, a first for the Marines.

As the Corps continues to push its gender integration plan it has been resolute on maintaining “standards, while leveraging every opportunity to optimize individual performance, talent, and skills in order to maximize the Corps’ warfighting capabilities,” Block said.

Gender integration is bringing about some growing pains for the Marine Corps. Officially, the Marines want more women in the Corps overall, targeting a goal to make the force 10 percent women by the end of next year.

Yet the number of women who have broken the gender barrier in the Marine Corps’ combat arms remains far fewer than the those in the Army. And many advocates for female service members say the Marines’ numbers paint a disappointing picture of gender integration progress across the Corps.

Still, it’s a historic achievement for the 92 individual women who are now in the Marine Corps combat arms. The groundbreaking cadre of women met unquestionably rigorous standards and personally maneuvered around the cultural barriers they confronted along the way.

Yet questions persist inside and outside the Marine Corps about whether the service is doing enough to ameliorate barriers to the combat arms and making women feel more welcome.

The Marine Corps has made gestures and policy decisions that appear unwelcoming to women. And that was reinforced by last year’s “Marines United” scandal, when a large online community of male Marines was sharing nude photographs of women, including female Marines.

The Marines were the only branch to ask for a waiver when the Pentagon ended the policy that excluded women from combat jobs. In 2015, the Pentagon’s civilian leaders rejected the Corps request that some jobs remain restricted to men.

That sent a signal to women that they were not welcome in the Corps, said Lorri Manning, a director at the Service Women’s Action Network and retired Navy captain. It “gives women second thoughts, you don’t want to go where you’re not welcome.”

STANDARDS

Few women are even trying to enter the Marine Corps combat arms job field.

Only 51 female recruits entering boot camp during the eight-month period between October 1, 2016, and May 31, 2017, entered with a combat arms job field. Of those, 13 passed the MOS Classification Standard test.

As the initial cadre of women arrived at boot camp, nearly three out of four women were failing new Military Occupation Specialty Classification Standard physical fitness requirements for combat job fields forcing them to be reclassed into other fields, Marine Corps officials said in August 2017.

Yet women who make it through boot camp and pass that initial test are performing well.

After boot camp, Marines take another series of gender-neutral job specific physical fitness tests called the MOS-specific physical standards, or MSPS. These are gender-neutral standards specific to job fields and are taken at the MOS school house.

Nearly 90 percent of women have passed the MSPS standards, Marine Corps officials said.

Nevertheless, more than half the women serving in ground combat billets today are serving in fields with less physical demanding requirements.

On the enlisted side, there are currently six female rifleman (0311), one machine gunner (0331), and three mortarman (0341). Though women have attempted the screening to become a Marine special operator, none have yet passed.

The majority of women have fallen into artillery, combat engineers, and low altitude air defense gunners, where the physical requirements are less stringent.

Though, the Corps has made strides in boosting fitness results of female Marines. The Marines employed certified fitness instructors as part of the Force Fitness Instructor program to help boost knowledge of the science behind physical training.

And efforts by Marine Corps Maj. Misty Posey to help institute a training routine to prepare women to do pull ups in lieu of the traditional flexed arm hang are also bearing fruit as female Marines have seen notable success in the pull-up portion of the PFT, according to the annual report by Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services.

But, by comparison the Army has had fewer problems bringing women into ground combat jobs. Nearly 500 women are serving in various combat billets throughout the Army, officials said.

Moreover, 10 women have graduated from the Army’s grueling Ranger course and one is serving as an officer with a Ranger regiment. Nearly 74 women have graduated from Infantry or Armor Basic Officer Leader’s Course.

One reason for the Army’s success: prior to the opening of combat fields, the Army started pushing women noncommissioned officers and leaders to previously excluded job fields to boost the ranks of female cadre members before new female soldiers entered the infantry schoolhouses. The initiative was known as Leaders First.

The Corps implemented a similar strategy after the Army that saw over 200 female Marine leaders sent to formerly restricted units. An effort the Corps says has been successful.

NEEDED: MORE WOMEN

Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert B. Neller said in late January he wanted to grow the number women in the entire Marine Corps to 10 percent, up from today’s 8 percent female force.

That would likely boost the number of women in the combat arms.

But it’s a lofty goal.

There are only 3,500 slots for women in recruit training, and that limits the Corps’ ability to grow the number of women, Lorri Manning explained.

That limit on the number of beds for women at recruit training at Parris Island, South Carolina, would be mitigated if the Corps fully integrated men and women into the same recruit training programs.

Manning believes that standards can be used to create a perception that women in the Corps are not being put through the same gauntlet as their male counterparts, which ultimately leads to disrespect of female Marines and a treatment of them as second-class Marines.

Manning says the Corps also sends signals that training of male Marines is a higher priority over women that ultimately inhibits a drive to enter physically demanding combat job fields.

The Marines Corps’ culture also has more intangible barriers to female integration, including a tightly-knit social fabric that values comradery and brotherhood amongst male Marines at the expense and sidelining of women, said Nora Bensahel, an expert on defense at American University. Bensahel pointed to the “Marines United” scandal that rocked the Corps last year after revelations about a secretive Facebook highlighted the deep issues within the Corps. It highlighted a Corps as a “culture that devalues women in the ranks.”

“The entire culture of the Marine Corps is a hyper-masculine culture,” said Bensahel.

The Marine United Facebook page distributed thousands of sexual and explicit images of female Marines and some civilians, many without the consent of the victims. Sexually harassing and even violent messages accompanied many of the posts.

Since then, the Corps has updated policies to help police social media misconduct and to aid the Corps in its effort to prosecute those committing offenses.

Those efforts are starting to bear fruit, though maybe not as fast as some like.

A year after Marines United, 119 culprits have been identified, 22 non DoD civilians and 97 Marines.

And prosecutors have taken some of these culprits to town. To date there have been 80 dispositions, seven total courts martial, 14 NJP [ non- judicial punishment], 6 administrative separations, and 28 adverse administrative actions, according to the Judge Advocate Division, HQMC.

GROWING THE RANKS OF WOMEN

To achieve the commandant’s goal of a Marine Corps with 10 percent women by the end of next year, Marine Corps Recruiting Command is ramping up a plan to entice more qualified female Marines.

However, there are a myriad of problems attaining those numbers.

“More than 90 percent of America’s youth are disinterested in military service and less than 8 percent of females are interested in military service,” said Jim Edwards, a spokesman with Marine Recruiting Command.

To hit the 10 percent mark, the Corps needs to ship 3,400 women to recruit training annually. “During FY17, Marine recruiters shipped 3,355 women to entry-level training, which was 8.9% of all new recruits,” Edwards said.

The Corps argues that fallout from Marines United has not impacted any recruitment efforts, and data provided by the recruiting command backs that claim.

On the enlisted side of the house, the Corps managed to recruit 3,355 women in FY17, slightly up from 3,201 from the previous year. The Corps has had steady but tepid growth in the number of female enlisted Marines each year since FY 2013.

The swings in the officer pool have been much smaller. FY17 saw 166 females officer recruits, slightly up from 149 in FY 2013. On average, female officer recruits are hitting just over 9 percent out of all recruits on average.

But the Marines are still short of their mark. That’s why Recruiting Command has embarked on an aggressive marketing blitz targeting women.

“We have increased the amount of female-inclusive and female-specific marketing and advertising initiatives to generate awareness about what it means to be a Marine and to highlight opportunities for women in the Marine Corps,” Edwards said.

Some of those initiatives include reflecting on the inclusiveness of Marine occupational specialties, and portraying female Marines more accurately. And updating websites to remove gender-qualifying language.

In 2014 the Corps began sending direct mail to female high school juniors and seniors, something they used to only do for males. Now more than 30 percent of that mail targets female high school students.

And in 2017, the Corps released its “Battle Up” commercial, inspired by the “Battles Won” campaign. It was the first Marine Corps commercial with a female lead.

“These commercials feature women in a more authentic and representative manner alongside their male counterparts and clearly communicates who we are as Marines, what we do in support of our Nation’s interests, and why it should be important and aspirational to our country’s citizens.” Edwards said in an emailed response to Marine Corps Times.

The Corps is also targeting athletic women in sports programs in high school and college to best recruit women that can meet the rigorous physical requirements across all job fields. That includes evolving partnerships with USA Rugby and the National Wrestling Coaches Association.

“Notably, about 10 percent of all youth wrestlers are female and that number continues to increase,” Edwards said.

“These are resilient individuals who know how to fight and win.”

“We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensure that the men and women who earn the title “Marine” will be ready, and will provide America with an elite crisis-response force that is ready to fight and win,” Block said.

Female Marines to enter MCT at Camp Pendleton for first time

A group of 40 female Marines are about to start training at a combat school reserved for non-infantry Marines aboard Camp Pendleton, California, a first in Marine Corps history.

The group of women will embark on a 29-day course, known as Marine Combat Training Battalion, or MCT, in infantry training and tactics alongside male Marines. The new female students are expected to check in today, according to Training Command.

MCT is a condensed replica of the School of Infantry that produces 0311 riflemen. After completion of recruit training, Marines not holding an infantry job attend MCT to maintain the Corps’ mantra of “every Marine a rifleman.”

The other of the two MCT schools is located on Camp Geiger at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Gender integration at MCT isn’t a new concept — male and female Marines have been training together at Camp Lejeune for some time now. With all female recruits trained at MCRD Parris Island, South Carolina, attending MCT just one state away made sense.

But as the Corps continues to push gender integration across combat arms and recruit training, including the West Coast in that effort has become necessary.

(https://www.armytimes.com/resizer/RKzE3V58p8gGcN8DrZ0Ao_wv_ik=/600x0/filters:quality(100)/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-mco.s3.amazonaws.com/public/XUOWC5PSJNGXBBFUTGSE3DMG4E.jpg)
Sgt. Hannah S. Jacobson, machine gunner with Weapons Company, Ground Combat Element Integrated Task Force, and her machine-gun team maneuver to their support by fire position in preparation to engage targets during a Marine Corps Operational Test and Evaluation Activity assessment at Range 107, Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, March 10, 2015.

Boot camp at MCRD San Diego is still all male, and until now, males attending follow on training wound up in all-male MCT courses at Camp Pendleton.

One of the oft repeated criticisms of the Corps’ attempts at gender integration has been the lack of exposure for young male Marines to female colleagues and female leadership early in training. That isolation, some believe, has led to a perception by some junior male Marines that females cannot meet the same standards.

Slow and steady strides at basic training and MCT have been made, to include some integrated training with male and female Marines at Parris Island, but none of these changes have migrated west — until now.

“The Marines will be fully integrated at the platoon and squad level with their male counterparts as part of Lima Company,” Marine Corps Training Command said.

Besides the integration, no other changes are being made to the MCT program, Marine officials say.

The Corps expects to train 1,700 women there annually once the integration at MCT-West is complete.

Novo veículo anfíbio ACV 1.1 dos US Marines está dentro da programação

(https://cdn.defesaaereanaval.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/BAE-8x8-2.jpg)

Citar
Por Chad Garland

Um esforço do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos Estados Unidos (US Marines), para substituir sua velha frota de veículos de assalto anfíbio permanece dentro do orçamento e está a caminho de entrar na fase de produção, constatou um órgão de fiscalização do governo, apesar de alertar para o potencial atraso ou aumento de custo.

O US Marines lançou o programa para substituir seu Veículo Anfíbio de Assalto, que foi lançado pela primeira vez em 1972, por um Veículo de Combate Anfíbio – anunciado como uma maneira mais protegida e mais rápida de transportar tropas de navio para terra.

Os custos de desenvolvimento estão agora estimados em US$ 60 milhões bem abaixo das projeções originais de US$ 810,5 milhões, segundo um relatório do Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Um protesto pela seleção de dois protótipos contratados peo US Marines em novembro de 2015 – o SuperAV da BAE Systems e o Terrex 2 da SAIC – causou uma paralisação que atrasou brevemente o cronograma, mas não há mais atrasos e autoridades da Marinha estão decididas sobre quais dois encomendará seu primeiro lote de 30 veículos em junho.

O GAO, que o congresso encarregou de monitorar o programa de aquisições, havia previamente advertido o Congresso sobre o potencial de aumento de custos ou atrasos no cronograma devido à abordagem agressiva do Corpo de Engenheiros. O programa é um sucessor do extinto programa de Veículos Expedicionários de Combate do serviço anfíbio, que foi cancelado em 2011 devido à sua acessibilidade econômica.

(https://cdn1.defesaaereanaval.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/SAIC-Terrex-2-landing-on-beach.png)

Antes de ser morto, o programa acumulou quase US$ 4 bilhões em custos. Quando o Pentágono permitiu que os fuzileiros navais procurassem um veículo para substituição, seus novos requisitos enfatizavam como meta, o custo.

O GAO creditou o serviço pela gestão do novo programa em seu último relatório. Mas as autoridades expressaram preocupações de que o serviço estava planejando prosseguir com a produção sem garantir que os processos de fabricação do fabricante estivessem totalmente prontos, o que, segundo o relatório, poderia levar a problemas de qualidade e custos mais altos ou atrasos.

Em uma resposta, o Pentágono disse que monitoraria a produção e tentaria limitar os riscos de produção, mas essa espera poderia resultar em contratempos de fabricação.

(https://cdn2.defesaaereanaval.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/bae-8x8-1.jpg)

Os fuzileiros navais querem 208 novos veículos anfíbios até 2022, com rodadas iniciais de corridas de baixa taxa produzindo 30 veículos em 2018 e 2019. Isso equipará duas das 10 Cias de assalto anfíbio do Corpo.

Cada veículo deve custar entre US $ 4 milhões e US $ 7 milhões, de acordo com um relatório de 2015 do GAO.

O GAO disse que não poderia dizer publicamente mais sobre a prontidão de fabricação ou o desempenho técnico dos veículos, uma vez que os dois fabricantes ainda estavam competindo.

O novo veículo melhora as capacidades de blindagem e manobras terrestres do AAV, com capacidades anfíbias limitadas que serão abordadas em uma segunda rodada de fabricação; no entanto, autoridades da Marinha disseram que o veículo inicial já está perto de atender aos requisitos.

Ambos os projetos de protótipos apresentam veículos de 8 rodas com cascos em forma de V projetados para minimizar o efeito de explosões. Ambos também possuem projetos de assentos absorvedores de energia para proteger ainda mais os passageiros, apesar de transportarem muito menos tropas que o AAV original.

(https://cdn2.defesaaereanaval.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Saic.jpg)

Os veículos serão armados com uma metralhadora calibre .50 e lança-granadas de 40mm, o mesmo que o AAV, mas as armas serão operadas remotamente.

O primeiro modelo, chamado ACV 1.1, não substituirá totalmente o AAV de 46 anos, que os oficiais chamam de “quase obsoleto”, de modo que o Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais também está modernizando 400 de seus 1.060 veículos para proteção contra ameaças de bombas terrestres a um custo estimado de US $ 1,7 milhão por veículo. O Corpo planeja substituir os AAVs atualizados até 2035.

O US Marines planeja colocar em campo quase 500 do segundo modelo do programa até 2026 para equipar quatro das 10 Cias de assalto anfíbio em atividade.

Espera-se que um terceiro modelo, chamado ACV 2.0, possa navegar tenha uma velocidade duas vezes maior do que o antigo AAV, permitindo que os fuzileiros navais sejam lançados dos navios além da vista da costa sem o auxílio de embarcações de desembarque para transportar os veículos.

Os dois novos protótipos, comparados
BAE Systems SuperAV: Baseado em um projeto da Iveco, empresa italiana proprietária da Chrysler e da Ferrari, este veículo de 8 rodas acomoda três tripulantes e 13 fuzileiros navais embarcados. Seu sistema de acionamento H permite a tração nas 8 rodas e seu casco em forma de V e assentos absorventes de energia são projetados para proteger as tropas de explosões. Pode navegar a 7 mph no mar e mais de 65 mph em estradas pavimentadas, de acordo com um boletim informativo da BAE Systems.

SAIC Terrex 2: Baseado em um veículo usado pelos militares de Cingapura e Turquia, este veículo de oito rodas pode acomodar três tripulantes e 11 fuzileiros navais embarcados. Ele possui um casco em forma de V para proteger contra explosões, bem como assentos de mitigação de explosões. Um sistema central de inflação de pneus aumenta a tração. Pode navegar a 7 mph em mares com ondas de até 3 pés e a 55 mph em terra.

he USMC Already Wants To Up-Gun Its New Amphibious Combat Vehicle With A 30mm Cannon
The Corps is looking to fast-track plans for a 'lethality upgrade' for at least some of the forthcoming family of wheeled armored vehicles.

(https://www.forumdefesa.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimagesvc.timeincapp.com%2Fv3%2Ffoundry%2Fimage%2F%3Fq%3D70%26amp%3Bw%3D1440%26amp%3Burl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ftimedotcom.files.wordpress.com%252F2019%252F01%252Fvba-1.jpg%253Fquality%253D85&hash=6cf8f5a5010d78970b5efe645e97c526)

he U.S. Marine Corps is following the U.S. Army’s lead and is now looking for a contractor to develop and install a turret with a 30mm cannon in a portion of its forthcoming Amphibious Combat Vehicle fleet. The move is part of a larger trend in both services to up-gun existing and future armored vehicles in light of parallel developments among potential conventional opponents, especially Russia.

Marine Corps Systems Command announced plans for the 30mm-armed variant of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle, or ACV-30, in a contracting notice on the U.S. government’s main contracting website, FedBizOpps, on Jan. 28, 2019. The Marines also want command and armored recovery versions, known as ACV-C and ACV-R respectively, as part of what the service is now calling the ACV family of vehicles.

In June 2018, the Marines revealed they had picked the SuperAV 8x8 wheeled armored vehicle as the winner of what it had called the ACV 1.1 competition. BAE Systems and Italy’s Iveco had partnered together on the proposal. Afterward, the Corps said it would look to begin a follow-on “lethality upgrade” for the vehicles, then known as ACV 1.2.

A US Marine Corps ACV during testing. This variant only has a remote weapon station able to hold a .50 caliber machine gun or a 40mm automatic grenade launcher.

“The program office tested the vehicle to all of the ACV 1.2 transition requirements, and even subjected the vehicle to 9-foot waves without issues,” U.S. Marine Corps Colonel Kirk Mullins, the program manager for Advanced Amphibious Assault at the Marine Corps Systems Command’s Program Executive Office for Land Systems, said according to an official news story on Jan. 29, 2019. “Because of this, the Marine Corps now was [sic; has] the opportunity to combine the program into a singular ACV family of vehicles program.”

The contracting notice does not specify a particular 30mm cannon or turret for the ACV-30, but there are a number of weapon systems that could work with the SuperAV platform. Italian defense contractor Leonardo already offers its HitFist Overhead Weapons Station (OWS) for the 8x8 vehicle, which consists of an unmanned turret that can accept various 20mm or 30mm cannons. Iveco markets the SuperAV/HitFist combination as the VBA.

It also features a co-axial 7.62mm machine gun and can accommodate a two-tube anti-tank guided missile launcher on the side. It can mount various electro-optical and infrared sensors for both target engagement and general reconnaissance, as well as self-defense smoke grenade launchers.

The Cockerill 3030 turret from Belgium’s CMI Defense is another option. The Marines might be able to leverage the work CMI Defense did for the Army to integrate the turret onto a Stryker vehicle.

The Marine Corps is deactivating its last EA-6B Prowler squadron this week, marking an end to 42 years of service for the electronic warfare aircraft.

Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 2 will hold its deactivation ceremony Friday, officials announced Tuesday. The squadron was the last to fly the Prowler in combat, supporting troops who were taking on Islamic State group terrorists in the Middle East late last year.

The U.S. Navy has awarded defense contractor Boeing with a $71.3 million contract to upgrade its T/AV-8B Harrier II short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL) capable fighter jets, of which approximately 80 are currently in active service. The contract for upgrades is accompanied by a further $16 million contract for engineering and support for the Harrier II fleet.

“We will continue to be a fourth-gen/fifth-gen fleet out until about 2030, with Harriers probably going to 2028 and F/A-18s going to 2030-2031,” said Lt. Gen. Steven R. Rudder, the Marine Corps’ deputy commandant for aviation. He testified April 4 during a hearing of the Tactical Air and Ground Forces subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee."

New changes will see Marine grunts humping farther distances while testing combat effectiveness
By: Shawn Snow

In September 2018, the Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert B. Neller directed that various Marine Corps units incorporate forced marches into combat readiness evaluations.

That directive has resulted in new changes to training and readiness manuals that will see grunts moving farther distances while also testing combat effectiveness after a long hike carrying considerable weight.

According to an administrative message posted Friday, the Corps is updating the “forced march” portion of the training and readiness manuals for grunts and reconnaissance units.

The changes now require these Marines to be able to move 32 km carrying an assault load of roughly 31kg in eight hours.

“The forced march will culminate and transition directly into an evaluated tactical exercise to test the unit’s ability to execute an extended foot movement under load and remain combat effective,” the MARADMIN reads.

According to the Marine Corps order covering the Marine Corps Combat Readiness Evaluation, or MCCRE, the evaluated tactical event can be “offensive or defensive exercise, NBC [nuclear, biological, chemical] exercise, patrolling exercise” or an event related to a unit’s mission essential tasks. That order was signed in Feb. 2019.

The forced marches are intended to be part of and integrated with a unit’s MCCRE, which tests a unit’s ability to carry out core tasks. Marine units are required to conduct a MCCRE every two years or once during a deployment cycle.

The change impacts infantry regiments, infantry battalions, reconnaissance battalions and Force Reconnaissance Companies, according to the MARADMIN.

Prior to the changes, the infantry training and readiness manual required grunts to move 20 km carrying an approach march load of 40 kg in five hours.

The new change will see a lighter load, but an extended distance for the forced march requirement and an added tactical exercise.

But it’s not just grunts that will see changes to forced hikes.

Other ground combat elements to include artillery regiments, assault amphibian battalions, combat engineer battalions, light armored reconnaissance battalions, tank battalions, air and naval gunfire liaison companies and low altitude air defense battalions will now be required to complete forced timed marches.

These Marines will need to be able to move 15 km in four hours carrying a fighting load of 55 pounds, “with 95 percent of the force remaining mission capable,” according to the MARADMIN.

Many of these units like artillery, tanks, engineers and AAV Marines already had requirements for a four-hour 15 km movement in fighting load, according to their individual training and readiness manuals.

The infantry training and readiness manual breaks down hike loads into four categories: assault load, fighting load, approach march load and sustainment load.

The assault load is roughly 31kg and includes gear needed to carry out an assault.

The fighting load is roughly 25 kg and includes combat gear necessary for the immediate mission at hand.

The approach march load is just more than 40 kg and includes gear necessary for extended operations when resupply is still available.

The sustainment load is nearly 68 kg but is intended to supply a Marine from their pack when resupply is not available. The massive weight limits mobility and distances a Marine can march.

While the Corps is extending hike distances for some infantry Marines, it’s also working on reducing the load burden on grunts. The Corps is about to field lighter .50-cal polymer ammunition and is seeking lighter body armor.

Marine Corps Training and Education Command signed off on the new training and readiness manual changes in November 2018.

Marine Raider graduates French Commando training, earning highest distinction “Moniteur” avec “aptitude”

Story by Cpl. Bryann K. Whitley 

He was the first U.S. Marine Raider to attend the course and the first American to graduate with the Commando “Moniteur” avec “Aptitude,” the highest distinction given upon graduation.
A gunnery sergeant and critical skills operator with U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Special Operations Command, recently graduated the French Commando “Moniteur” Training Course in Mont-Louis, France.
The 26-day course, conducted entirely in French, is intended for officers and non-commissioned officers. Its curriculum targets combat infantry training, special operations and survival skills.
“I did two weeks of review before departing for the course,” explained the gunnery sergeant. “In the course information packet there was a list of topics and knowledge that we would be covering in the course that we needed to be capable of effectively communicating. Knowing the content we would be covering made my language review easier and a lot more targeted.”
Training and skills development are a way of life for Raiders. Highlights of their training include tactical skills such as close-quarters combat techniques, explosive ordnance disposal training, survival in austere environments, hand-to-hand combatives and skills required for Raiders’ amphibious operations. While these are important, Raiders are expected to train and operate with foreign partner nation forces. To do this effectively, language skills are critically important to mission success.
“Being a CSO, you have to go through so many other schools and tests that, in that aspect at least, I was prepared for this course,” said the Marine Raider. “It was adding in the language that changed that and made things difficult.”
The course developed commando techniques in its students through challenges such as obstacle courses, rappelling, guerilla warfare tactics, amphibious insertion procedures, rescues techniques and grueling physical fitness events. The Marine attributed his success in the French Commando course to his prior training and operational experience with MARSOC and his commitment to sustaining his personal readiness.
“Students must be highly motivated and willing to make extreme efforts in regard to a language barrier,” the Marine Raider said. “If I hadn’t had a background in a majority of the techniques they were going over, I wouldn’t have been successful at all.”
The gunnery sergeant built upon his language foundations established as a young child through personal commitment to sustainment. In particular, he used French language news sites and podcasts to keep his fluency fresh, but one of the most advantageous training assets available to him were fellow francophone Raiders.
“We knew the gunnery sergeant would be a great candidate for this and that he’d represent the command and the Marine Corps well,” said the Marine Raider Regiment’s language program manager. “He far exceeded our expectations by being the first American to receive the course’s highest distinction upon graduating.”   
While much of the tactical training and physical challenges were similar to those encountered in the Raider training pipeline, the challenges of a language immersion environment created a substantial challenge as a non-native speaker.
“I didn’t have a choice but to use the language and there was an initial struggle,” the Raider said. “The formality and the speed that the instructors spoke in was difficult to understand at times, and they wouldn’t slow down just for you.”
The Raider identified the language sustainment opportunity as one of the biggest benefits of participating in the course. As opposed to a classroom setting, the tactical environment and real-world training and operational applications provided hands-on learning opportunities that would not be available in casual conversation or in a classroom lecture.
The goal of the Marine Raider Regiment’s language program is to sustain the language and culture skills taught to CSOs at the Marine Raider Training Center, then enhance them to a much higher level in preparation for upcoming mission requirements.
“Language training doesn’t always have to be in a classroom,” the language program manager said. “Living, eating, training and interacting with one another 24/7 for an extended amount of time provides a level and depth of knowledge you just can’t get in an academic setting. This training was not designed to be a language sustainment event, but I looked at this course as a perfect way to inject sustainment into an awesome course. Graduating this course is one heck of an accomplishment, but to graduate this grueling course that is not taught in your native tongue, and to do so as a distinguished graduate, like [this] gunnery sergeant did, is absolutely amazing.”
Given the central role played by foreign language skills in determining special operations mission success, MARSOC’s language program has taken great strides in “operationalizing” language sustainment training -- part of that initiative is to seek out innovative immersion opportunities, such as this course.
“Attending a course like this is great both personally and operationally,” said the Marine Raider. “The personal benefits are high because it allows you to keep your language skills up. Operationally it’s a great course because it helps with building rapport and communication capabilities.”

Congress wants a review of the Corps’ plan to distribute forces across the Indo-Pacific
By: Shawn Snow  and Todd South

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are asking for a review of the U.S. military’s plans to distribute forces across the Indo-Pacific in places like Okinawa, Japan, Guam, Hawaii and Australia, among other locations.

Noting a “pressing need” to redistribute Marines from Okinawa in the Senate’s recent version of the annual defense legislation — lawmakers want an update on costs of the redistribution of forces in the region and an “assessment” of those forces’ ability to “respond to current and future contingencies."

According to the Senate’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act, details of “alternative locations for basing” in places such as Alaska, Hawaii, the U.S., Japan and Oceania, among others, should be included in any recommendations or revisions to the planned redistribution of American forces across the Indo-Pacific.

The new assessment of the U.S. military’s force posture in the Pacific follows a call for a review of a plan to relocate Marines to Guam made by outgoing-Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert B. Neller during a May Senate hearing.

During that hearing, Neller expressed concerns about the availability of amphibious ships to move Marines to the fight.

Neller told lawmakers that high speed vessels could move Marines and gear around, but that option would not be adequate to move a larger force.

Marines would need strategic lift, but "you’d have to resources it and pay for it or you’d have to have ampibs come from either Japan or the U.S. mainland or you would have to contract for it,” Neller said.

In December 2018 the Corps briefed to Congress its Pacific posture and force redistribution plan known as the Defense Policy Review Initiative, or DPRI.

That DPRI brief — obtained by Marine Corps Times through a government record’s request — highlighted that “further distribution of the force exacerbates a shortfall in Navy amphibious shipping and dedicated sea surface lift capacity.”

The brief also noted that “sustainment for Guam is a significant bill which must be addressed and balanced across other DoD priorities.”

The Corps is seeking to trim its nearly 20,600 Marines stationed on Okinawa in half down to roughly 11,500.

The redistribution is part of the Corps’ effort to ameliorate tensions and return land occupied since Wolrd War II back to local Okinawans.

But the redistribution of Marines across the Indo-Pacific is also strategic.

Decentralizing Marines across the region complicates any attack by Chinese forces in the region. Moving the mass concentration of Marines off Okinawa means China can no longer concentrate ballistic missile attacks in one region.

According to the DPRI brief, the Corps wants to relocate about 1,300 Marines to Australia, 4,100 to Guam and about 2,700 Marines to Hawaii.

The Corps plans to have a total force of about 5,000 Marines on Guam by 2028. The first Marines are expected to start arriving by 2024.


The Navy and Marine Corps have already sunk considerable investments into building ranges and facilities on Guam.

According to the DPRI, nine projects have been completed, 12 construction projects are underway, another 30 projects and contracts are expected to be awarded over the next two years and an additional 50 projects are slated for future planning.

The Corps wants training ranges on Tinian, Pagan and separate islands in the Northern Marianas.

The training ranges on Pagan will provide a “premier US-controlled Pacific venue” for amphibious training, Marine Expeditionary Unit-level live fire combined arms exercises and “uniquely meets” training deficiencies identified by U.S. Pacific Command in the areas of close air support, naval gunfire and artillery direct fire, according to the DPRI.

The current Senate version of the annual defense legislation has about $226 million slated for Navy construction on Guam and the Joint Region Marianas.

The new force posture review in the Indo-Pacific region also calls for an assessment of the “adequacy of current and expected training resources at each location” and “ability to train against the full spectrum of threats from near-peer or peer threats,” the Senate version of the NDAA reads.

The review also calls for an “assessment of political support for United States force presence from host countries and local communities and populations,” the Senate version of the NDAA states.

Thank you not so much, Mr. Roboto — temper excitement for military’s newest exoskeleton

The Marine Corps and Air Force could each receive one or two high-tech exoskeletons within the next year, fully autonomous mechanized suits that bring to mind those used in the classic film, “Alien."

But before excitement of mechanized warfare skyrockets, sci-fi and futuristic war enthusiasts should temper with a dose of reality.

That’s because the system’s developer, Sarcos Robotics, who displayed the Guardian XO this week at Modern Day Marine 2019, implied the suit will not necessarily be best equipped for engaging in intense combat, but rather for carrying heavy loads and lifting things for extended periods.

Supply bubbas everywhere are rejoicing.

Estimated to be able to lift 200 pounds without any wear and tear and work for up to eight hours on a full battery charge, the suit has the potential to significantly alleviate the strain on service members long plagued by lugging heavy loads.

Finally, the VA will have a valid reason to deny those claims for cumulative back and knee injuries.

Operators of the suit, which is designed to sense its pilot’s natural reflexes, can range from 5-foot-4 to 6-foot-6.

The move for the Marine Corps and Air Force comes six months after a contract announcement between Sarcos and the Navy, a partnership the two sides imagine will “optimize shipyard operations.”

Hell yeah.

https://www.armytimes.com/resizer/zTXlGmwPY4LlI_teQW4IHptAhqo=/600x0/filters:quality(100)/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-mco.s3.amazonaws.com/public/7F74ETCT2BBPRAUSQHP6RJXDVM.jpg (ftp://www.armytimes.com/resizer/zTXlGmwPY4LlI_teQW4IHptAhqo=/600x0/filters:quality(100)/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-mco.s3.amazonaws.com/public/7F74ETCT2BBPRAUSQHP6RJXDVM.jpg)
Tell me the direction of the ship yard, please. I can't see with these sunglasses on." (Sarcos Robotics)
Military personnel won’t be the only ones looking to add a little grown robot strength.

Other professions, like the automotive and construction fields, could also benefit from the Guardian XO’s gym routine.

“These kinds of exoskeletons can eliminate overhead cranes and forklift trucks, which drive the structure of the factory,“ GE managing director Ralph Taylor-Smith said in a February press release.

Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos EUA testam novo veículo de combate anfíbio que substituirá os AAV Puma

(https://www.defesa.tv.br/wp-content/plugins/phastpress/phast.php/https-3A-2F-2Fwww.defesa.tv.br-2Fwp-2Dcontent-2Fuploads-2F2019-2F12-2FNovoveiculoAnfibioEUA3-2D696x414.jpg/service=images/cacheMarker=1577280310-2D45288/token=a840746194ce6817/__p__.jpg)

Citar
O mundo está constantemente avançando ao nosso redor. Como a força de combate mais temida do mundo, é imperativo que os fuzileiros navais avancem com suas capacidades. O novo Veículo de Combate Anfíbio (ACV- armored combat veicle) do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos EUA (USMC) está chegando para melhorar as capacidades anfíbias deste militares.

Os Marines testaram a capacidade de manobra e o desempenho do ACV, durante operações com pouca luz e noite, nas praias do Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, entres os dias 16 e 18 de dezembro.

Os fuzileiros navais passaram horas testando os ACVs nas ondas do sul da Califórnia e em mar aberto para avaliar, o quão bem eles poderiam interagir com o veículo e conduzir operações com pouca luz.

“A AVTB está em Camp Pendleton desde 1943”, disse David Sandvold, diretor de operações da AVTB. “Somos o único ramo militar que usa nossos combatentes para testar equipamentos em desenvolvimento.”

O ACV substituirá o Veículo de Assalto Anfíbio Puma (AAV) a partir do final de 2020. O AAV está em serviço no USMC desde 1972, além de estar a serviço de diversas forças armadas ao redor do mundo.

O Puma sempre foi o veículo ideal para transportar fuzileiros navais e equipamentos de navio para terra, mas com os adversários em todo o mundo cada vez mais poderosos, mas o ACV foi criado para aprimorar as capacidades das missões de navio para terra e ataques anfíbios.

O ACV virá em quatro versões diferentes derivadas da base de veículos blindados. Há uma de recuperação, outra de comando e controle e uma armada para envolver veículos blindados inimigos. Cada ACV estrá equipado com oito rodas em vez das seis originalmente no AAV, trazendo assim mais estabilidade.

“É uma enorme diferença em como o ACV e o AAV se comportam”, disse o operador de AAV da AVTB, Sgt Fuzileiro Marine Fernando Alvarez. “A principal diferença (com rodas) é que é muito mais rápido em terra. Mas, em vez de girar como o AAV, temos que fazer curvas de três pontos agora, o que não é um problema.

Os ativos de proteção significativos do ACV o tornam resistente a ataques diretos e permite que ele opere com mobilidade degradada em um ambiente de batalha em constante mudança. O veículo possui letalidade suficiente para fornecer apoio preciso contra incêndio à infantaria, seja estacionário ou em movimento.

“A tecnologia está se modernizando”, explicou Sandvold. “À medida que aprendemos sobre o ACV, vemos tudo o que ele tem a oferecer.” O ACV também possui um ventre exclusivo em forma de V para desviar a explosão de dispositivos explosivos improvisados.

Como os IEDs eram as armas mais letais usadas contra os AAVs, o novo ACV foi projetado para se livrar de um IED, continuar a missão e levar os fuzileiros navais para casa em segurança.

“Sou leal às pistas, mas quanto mais aprendo sobre esses veículos, mais fico impressionado com todos os seus recursos e como ele melhorará nossas capacidades de combate”, disse Sandvold.

Todos vocês sabem que tenho sido um grande apoiador deste veículo. Eu ainda estou. Uma coisa, porém. Não é irônico que, em um momento em que deixemos de ser o chamado “Exército da Marinha” para uma “força naval que pode desembarcar”, tenhamos um veículo mais capaz em terra do que seu antecessor? Não torça.

O veículo de combate anfíbio BAE-IVECO é uma plataforma capaz e servirá bem. Meu único momento de coçar a cabeça vem com o pensamento por trás dos rumores do comandante. Com suas ordens de marcha, parece que o EFV se encaixaria melhor em sua visão. Velocidade da água ultra alta misturada com poder de fogo pesado.

Apesar de todo o “novo pensamento”, parece que, na realidade, podemos voltar a uma manobra Ship To Objective (STOM) remixada, apenas a versão 2020 … basta adicionar alguns floreios e veículos que estão sendo adquiridos atualmente. Ah, e com uma grande ênfase no apoio ao combate nos litorais (mas isso também é um retrocesso).

Fuzileiros Navais dos EUA irão se reequipar, de olho na China

(https://i.ibb.co/wYjPGqK/us-marine-corps2.jpg)

Por Michael R. Gordon

O Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais está realizando sua transformação mais abrangente em décadas, alterando de um foco na luta contra insurgentes no Oriente Médio para desenvolver a capacidade de saltar de ilha para ilha no Pacífico ocidental para enfrentar a esquadra chinesa.

O plano de dez anos para reformular o Corpo, marcado para ser divulgado nesta semana, segue anos de simulações (jogos de guerra) confidenciais nos EUA que revelaram que as forças navais e mísseis da China estão sobrepujando as vantagens militares americanas na região.

(https://i.ibb.co/Jm8TFpr/AAV7.jpg)

“A China, em termos de capacidade militar, é a ameaça emergente”, disse o general David Berger, Comandante do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos EUA em uma entrevista. “Se não fizermos nada, seremos derrotados.”

Para se reinventarem como uma força expedicionária naval dentro dos limites do orçamento, os fuzileiros navais planejam desincorporar todos os carros de combate, cortar suas aeronaves e diminuir o número total de 189.000 para 170.000 militares, disse o general Berger.

“Cheguei à conclusão de que precisamos reduzir o tamanho do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais para obter qualidade”, disse ele.

As mudanças fazem parte de uma mudança de todos os ramos das forças armadas, que estão aperfeiçoando novos conceitos de combate e planejando gastar bilhões de dólares com o que de acordo com o Pentágono será a ampliação da “concorrência” com a China e com a Rússia.

(https://i.ibb.co/Ps2BRmL/us-marine-corps1.jpg)

Quase 20 anos atrás, as tropas dos EUA se viram combatendo militantes no Iraque e no Afeganistão que usaram carros-bomba e explosivos remotamente controlados a beira das estradas, mas não tinham força aérea ou forças mecanizadas pesadas.

Enquanto os EUA se concentraram no Oriente Médio, no entanto, China e Rússia trabalharam em sistemas para frustrar a capacidade americana de reunir forças proximo de suas fronteiras e comandá-las em batalha. Se a guerra estourasse, concluíram as autoridades americanas, a China poderia disparar centenas de mísseis nas bases aéreas, portos e centros de comando dos EUA e aliados em todo o Pacífico, bloquear o GPS das forças armadas dos EUA, atacar sistemas de satélite e usar suas defesas aéreas para manter os aviões de guerra dos EUA distantes.

Uma avaliação preocupante de como as forças americanas enfrentariam os rivais, foi preparada pelo Gabinete de Avaliação do Pentágono e pela Rand Corporation sendo apresentada ao então secretário de Defesa Jim Mattis em 2017.

A nova estratégia enfrenta alguns obstáculos significativos. Uma, que é a mais provável, é que o orçamento de defesa permaneça estável ou seja reduzido nos próximos anos. Outra questão é se Washington será capaz de se concentrar nas ameaças chinesas e russas, dadas as tensões constantes com o Irã.

Alguns fuzileiros navais da reserva alertam que um foco muito centrado na China pode tornar o Corpo menos flexível para lidar com conflitos que podem surgir no Oriente Médio.

“Eu acho que é um erro se organizar para ir atrás de uma região específica”, disse Anthony Zinni, general de 4 estrelas da reserva do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais que liderou o Comando Central.

O núcleo do plano do general Berger é o estabelecimento de unidades expedicionárias navais – o que os fuzileiros navais chamam de “regimentos costeiros” – cuja missão seria enfrentar a marinha chinesa. Se surgisse um confronto, os regimentos dispersariam pequenas equipes de fuzileiros navais, que empregariam embarcações de desembarque visando as pequenas ilhas que pontilham os mares do sul e leste da China, segundo o general Berger e outros oficiais de alto escalão do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais. Munidos de drones carregados de sensores que operam no ar, no mar e debaixo d’água, os fuzileiros navais atacariam navios de guerra chineses antes de se aventurarem no Pacífico.

As equipes de Fuzileiros Navais lançariam mísseis anti navio na esquadra chinesa. Os dados de alvos também seriam passados ​​para unidades da Força Aérea ou da Marinha mais distantes, que disparariam mísseis de longo alcance. Para evitar golpes de retaliação, os fuzileiros navais poderão “pular” de ilha em ilha a cada 48 ou 72 horas, contando com navios anfíbios que possam ser pilotados remotamente. Outras equipes de fuzileiros navais operariam a partir de navios de guerra dos EUA com simulacros de embarcações nas proximidades.

O general Berger disse que os jogos de guerra mostraram que as novas capacidades e táticas dos Fuzileiros Navais criariam “uma tonelada de problemas” para as forças chinesas.

Os fuzileiros navais desdobrariam novas baterias de mísseis, unidades de drones e navios anfíbios. Um grande esforço está sendo feito para aliviar o fardo logístico, como explorar o uso da impressão em 3D no campo de batalha para produzir peças de reposição. A estratégia exige uma integração mais profunda com a Marinha, e as equipes de Fuzileiros Navais podem realizar outras missões, como reabastecer submarinos ou aviões de caça.

Para financiar as capacidades, os fuzileiros navais dispensarão todos os carros de combate ao longo dos próximos anos, eliminarão suas companhias de lançamento de pontes e reduzirão a aviação e obuses.

(https://i.ibb.co/7j60YY9/MV-22-Osprey.jpg)

O general Berger disse que o ajuste nos próximos 10 a 20 anos faz parte do plano e que os fuzileiros navais estão prosseguindo com “a visão clara de que a ameaça também está se movendo”.

After Nearly a Century, the U.S. Marine Corps Is Ditching Its Tanks
The service is optimizing its hardware in order to duke it out in the South China Sea.

BY KYLE MIZOKAMI

(https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/marines-m1a1-tank-participate-in-the-cjlots-exercise-on-news-photo-1585070849.jpg?crop=0.662xw:1.00xh;0.299xw,0&resize=768:*)

The U.S. Marine Corps is eliminating all of its tanks and most of its artillery to become a smaller, lighter force.
The Marines are shifting towards the ability to seize small islands in the South China Sea during wartime.
Marine aviation, law enforcement, and other arms will also face steep cuts or elimination.

The U.S. Marine Corps is remaking itself to better fight China in a potential conflict, and it’s making bold choices to make it happen. The Marines will eliminate all of their tank units (a capability the service has had for nearly a century), most of its tube artillery, and a substantial amount of aviation units. In return the service will bulk up with long-range rocket artillery and anti-ship missiles, weapons the service thinks will be more useful in island-hopping campaigns in the South Pacific.

The Marine Corps, according to USNI News, says it is not “optimized to meet the demands of the National Defense Strategy.” The service also identifies China as the “pacing threat” to the U.S. and its allies in the coming years. Most experts believe that in the event of conflict between the two countries, the South China Sea will be a major theater of war.

The sea is the location of several island archipelagos, including the Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands, and a number of islets, atolls, shoals, and other above-water terrain features. In recent years China has claimed up to ninety percent of the South China Sea and established military bases at several key locations.

If war unfortunately breaks out, the Marine Corps will almost certainly ride into the South China Sea on Navy transport ships and seize many of these islands with military bases, in order to deprive China of their ports and airfields and the ability to flex military power. None of these “islands” are very large: Fiery Cross Reef, the site of a Chinese military air base, is only 677 acres. Subi Reef, the site of another air base, is only 976 acres.

The small size of the islands limits the size of the force needed to defend them, as well as the size of the force required to take them. The Marines apparently think that 65-ton M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks won’t be needed in amphibious assaults launched to take them, especially since China is unlikely to base their own tanks on these islands. Heavy cannon artillery in the 155-millimeter range would also be unnecessary, as the islands are too tiny to utilize their range.

The Marines are eliminating all four tank battalions, including three active duty and one reserve battalion equivalent. The Marine Corps has fielded tanks for 97 continuous years, receiving six M1917 six-ton tanks from the U.S. Army in 1923. The cuts will remove approximately 200 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks from the Marines' inventory. Bridging units capable of setting up mobile bridges are also going away, as none of the islands have any rivers or streams.

The service will also eliminate three infantry battalions, each with about 800 personnel, 16 out of 21 artillery cannon batteries, two out of six amphibious companies, and four tiltrotor and helicopter squadrons. Even F-35 units will take a hit—though the Marines won’t deactivate any squadrons, each will have only 10 F-35s instead of the planned 16. Presumably that will also mean the Marines will buy fewer F-35s.

The Marines will make heavy cuts in existing capabilities to stand up new capabilities. Long range rocket artillery, which will allow the Marines to strike other islands and even People’s Liberation Army Navy ships at sea, will see a 300 percent boost. The Marines’ rocket artillery platform is HIMARS, or High Mobility Artillery Rocket System. HIMARS is a six tube rocket launcher mounted on the back of an armored truck, and has the capability to

The Marines are also buying new Naval Strike Missiles and Maritime Strike Tomahawk, a variant of the Tomahawk land attack cruise missile. Both missiles will allow the Marines to quickly fortify any islands that fall under their control, forcing Chinese navy ships to keep their distance. Maritime Strike Tomahawk has an unclassified range, according to Defense News, “of about 900 nautical miles.”

The Marines new blueprint is not without risks. The lack of tanks and the loss of tube artillery and an attack helicopter squadron arguably leaves the Marines with fewer weapons to confront main battle tanks. One potential combat zone for the Marines is the Baltic Sea versus Russia, and Moscow has several thousand tanks.

But the U.S. defense budget even before the coronavirus crisis was going to be tight in the 2020s, and the economic downturn from the ongoing public health emergency will be severe. A remodeled Marine Corps is inevitable and the service is taking the initiative before someone forces it on them.

The rest of the armed services would do well to follow the Marines’ example.

US Marine Corps Selects Kongsberg’s MCT-30 for Amphibious Combat Vehicle 30 (ACV-30)

(https://i1.wp.com/militaryleak.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/acv.jpg?resize=713%2C401&ssl=1)

The U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) selects 30 mm cannon Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV-30) is slated to be outfitted with Kongsberg’s Protector Medium Caliber Turret. MCT-30 is a remote weapon station developed for wheeled and tracked armoured fighting vehicles and its main weapon is the XM813 30 mm Mk44 Bushmaster chain gun. The ACV-30 integrates a 30mm cannon to provide the lethality and protection the Marines need while leaving ample room for troop capacity and payload. The contract calls for the design and development of the command (ACV-C) and the 30mm medium caliber cannon (ACV-30) variants.

BAE Systems, along with teammate Iveco Defence Vehicles, has been awarded a $67 million contract modification by the U.S. Marine Corps to develop new variants for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) Family of Vehicles programme. BAE Systems was previously awarded a low-rate initial production contract in June 2018 for the personnel variant (ACV-P). The US Marine Corps announced the ACV had successfully completed anticipated requirements testing and would no longer be pursuing an envisioned incremental ACV 1.1 and ACV 1.2 development approach. The programme is now known as the ACV Family of Vehicles, which encompasses the breadth and depth of the vehicle’s capabilities and multiple variants.

The MCT-30 Protector Medium Caliber Turret is a remote weapon station developed for wheeled and tracked armored fighting vehicles. Developed and manufactured by Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, the MCT-30 has a modular construction, featuring varying levels of armored protection, optional sighting equipment and the ability to mount varying calibre (25 to 50mm) chain-guns. The Mk44 fires the complete Orbital ATK family of 30 x 173mm ammunition, including the ability to program and fire the Mk310 Air Burst Munition. The PROTECTOR MCT-30 has been presented on all the major manufacturers 8×8 fighting vehicles and some tracked vehicle. It’s in service on the Patria AMV and GDLS Stryker 8×8.

In 2015, the US Army decided to upgrade a portion of the STRYKER Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) fleet with a 30mm automatic cannon. The first STRYKER DRAGOON equipped with the Kongsberg Protector MCT-30 turret was delivered to the US Army in Europe in December 2017. The MCT (Medium Calibre Turret) as incorporated on the STRYKER carries a 30mm Mk 44 BUSHMASTER chaingun. In addition to the main gun, the turret mounts a coaxial 7.62 machine gun and a roof-mounted second machine gun. Alternately to the roof-mounted MG, the PROTECTOR MCT can be equipped with a secondary remote weapon station (RWS) such as the Kongsberg PROTECTOR CROWS. Optional supplementary armament includes Javelin Anti-Tank Guided Missile.

É estranho ao inicio pensarmos nos US Marines como uma força "commando type" tão grandes que são, mas eles estão a despachar toda a maquinaria pesada, carros de combate, artilharia rebocada, pontes, policia militar, etc, e operações com grandes unidades, Divisões, Brigadas, demoradas no tempo e com grande necessidade logística tipo Iraque, o US Army que continue a fazer isso, os Marines não precisam de ser um 2ºexercito, estão a apostar em unidades escalão batalhão/Regimento, muito autónomos, com grande capacidade de misseis e de drones armados, grande capacidade anti-aérea e anti-navio, parece quererem navios de projecção mais pequenos.

Marine Corps Plan to Ditch Tanks Could Burden the Army, Experts Say

(https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/c1N_uPmTM4yr1TU9GggygQ--~B/aD04Njc7dz0xMzAwO3NtPTE7YXBwaWQ9eXRhY2h5b24-/https://media.zenfs.com/en-us/military_com_347/b518acb40adaddacb85f57601a3f808c)

The Marine Corps is in the process of getting rid of its tanks in preparation for possible island-hopping missions in the Pacific, but the move could lead to a bitter inter-service divide if the Army is tasked with filling the gap, defense experts warned this week.

Some Marine Corps tank companies have cased their colors, winding up decades-long missions as part of a service-wide redesign. Charlie Company, 2nd Tank Battalion, was the latest armor unit to shut down this week in a ceremony at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

The company's M1A1 Abrams tanks were hauled away Monday. A few weeks prior, members of 1st Tank Battalion saw their tanks off at Twentynine Palms in California.

The move has left many with mixed feelings, including a pair of retired Marines who sounded off on the decision during a virtual event hosted by the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank billed as "Re-Designing the Marine Corps for Future War: Necessity or Madness?"

"The Marine Corps likes to think of itself as kind of a Swiss Army knife," said retired Marine Col. Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "But this will be a Swiss Army knife whose owner has ripped out a couple of blades because he doesn't think he's going to need them anymore."

Cancian and retired Lt. Col. Frank Hoffman, distinguished research fellow at the National Defense University, both said there are things they like about Marine Commandant Gen. David Berger's plan to reshape the force in preparation for future conflicts with more skilled adversaries.

Many of the changes tie into the National Defense Strategy, Hoffman said. And investments in long-range precision fires and smaller amphibious ships would be necessary should conflict with China break out, Cancian added.

But both say they're concerned about the decision to fully cut tanks from the Marine Corps' arsenal.

"I've heard the Marine Corps argue that they can get these missing capabilities from other services, particularly from the Army. But I think that's unlikely," Cancian said. "I think, if the Marine Corps wanted those assets, that a combatant commander would have to take them away from the Army, which would engender a bitter inter-service fight."

Lt. Gen. Eric Smith, the head of Marine Corps Combat Development Command, told Military.com earlier this year that, as the nation's "fight tonight" force, Marines have to travel as lightly as possible.

"There are other forces within the Department of Defense, because we're part of a joint force, who can bring ... the big, heavy fist," Smith said. "For example, the Army, I believe, has 37 tank battalions, so we're pretty well covered on tanks."

Hoffman said it remains to be seen whether the Marine Corps' plans fit into a larger strategy for the joint force. If Army units are going to be tasked with complementing Marine Corps missions, he said, it would require new training and doctrine.

Cancian agreed, adding that the Marine Corps' plans could place new burdens on the Army. Both retired officers advocated for the Marine Corps Reserve to keep some of its tanks.

"[That's] a very appropriate strategy to manage some of the risks," Hoffman said. Both he and Cancian served in the Marine Corps Reserve.

At least one Reserve unit -- Alpha Company, 4th Tank Battalion -- has already been deactivated. All of 4th Tanks' six companies, along with its battalion headquarters, are expected to deactivate by the end of 2021, said Maj. Roger Hollenbeck, a spokesman for Marine Forces Reserve.

As Marines with Charlie Company, 2nd Tank Battalion, said goodbye to their tanks this week, Capt. John Fergerson, the commanding officer, called it a somber day for many.

"Not only for tankers, but for many of my fellow warfighters as well," he said, according to a Marine Corps news release on the company's deactivation.

Novos veículos anfíbios do USMC em alta cadência de produção

(https://www.forte.jor.br/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Amphibious-Combat-Vehicle-ACV.jpg)

Mais unidades dos fuzileiros navais dos EUA (USMC) verão seus veículos de assalto anfíbios com décadas de uso atualizados depois que um novo acordo foi fechado que levará a produção do tão aguardado veículo de combate anfíbio a uma nova fase.

O Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais concedeu à BAE Systems um contrato de quase US$ 185 milhões para a produção integral de 36 veículos anfíbios de combate. O acordo, segundo o Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais, significa que a Força agora pode construir e colocar mais ACVs “em uma cadência sustentada nos próximos anos”.

Espera-se que esse primeiro lote de produção plena, de acordo com a BAE Systems, salte para 72 veículos no início de 2021, com a opção de fabricar 80 veículos anualmente durante cinco anos.

O coronel Kirk Mullins, gerente do programa Advanced Amphibious Assault da PEO Land Systems, disse que os novos veículos terão mais capacidade de sobrevivência do que os AAVs da era do Vietnã do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais.

Um desses AAVs se envolveu em um acidente fatal na costa da Califórnia neste verão. Oito fuzileiros navais e um marinheiro morreram com o veículo entrando rapidamente na água no caminho de volta para um navio, afundando com vários militares presos a bordo. O acidente continua sob investigação e as operações de água do AAV foram interrompidas.

“Estamos fornecendo aos fuzileiros navais um transporte de pessoal blindado moderno que oferece uma capacidade tremenda com relação à sobrevivência”, disse Mullins em um comunicado sobre o ACV que agora está substituindo esses veículos. “O ACV dá ao Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais uma plataforma operacional capaz em toda a gama de operações militares.”

O novo ACV atingiu a capacidade operacional inicial no mês passado. Um pelotão da 1ª Divisão de Fuzileiros Navais, baseado no Centro de Combate Ar-Solo do Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center em Twentynine Palms, na Califórnia, foi o primeiro na fila para receber um dos novos veículos, informou o Military.com em setembro.

O veículo de oito rodas foi projetado para transportar fuzileiros navais do navio para a costa. O contrato emitido na semana passada é para a variante destinada ao transporte de pessoal.

Três outras variantes estão em fase de planejamento, disse Barb Hamby, porta-voz do Programa dos Fuzileiros Navais, Oficial Executivo de Sistemas Terrestres.

Haverá um veículo de comando e controle, um com uma torre de 30 mm e, eventualmente, uma variante de recuperação, disse ela.

New in 2021: Marine Corps to launch new infantry training program

In 2021 the Corps will launch a new pilot program to extend the time new Marines spend at the School of Infantry to 14 weeks.

The pilot program comes as the Corps looks to develop a new way to fight as the threat of a near-peer enemy like China or Russia takes precedent over the Middle East wars of the past two decades.

“We have at least one adversary that we haven’t had in decades,” Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger said, talking about the strengthening Chinese military.

To fight the new adversary, “We need to get to that higher level because they are going to be more distributed, we are going to rely on them to make higher level decisions,” Berger said at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing in December.

The new 14-week infantry course will start by covering basic infantry concepts, then, as the course progresses, Marines will be tested on those concepts in increasingly complex contexts and environments, said Capt. Sam Stephenson, a spokesman for Marine Corps Training and Education Command.

“These proof of concept courses will be revised over the next calendar year based upon Fleet Marine Force feedback to produce Infantry Marines with the requisite skills necessary to succeed in the future Marine Infantry Battalion,” Stephenson added.

The Corps has said the pilot program may ultimately lead to even longer SOI time and could even lead the Corps to consolidate all infantry military occupational specialties into one.

US Marine Corps Unmanned JLTV Fires Naval Strike Missile for First Time

(https://i2.wp.com/militaryleak.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/us-marine-corps-unmanned-jltv-fires-naval-strike-missile-for-first-time.jpg?w=944&ssl=1)
An unmanned joint light tactical vehicle (JLTV) has launched a Naval Strike Missile (NSM) off the California coast, in a demonstration carried out by the US Marine Corps.

The U.S. Marine Corps wants to be able to sink ships, and it wants that ability fast. The service is looking to field its own anti-ship missiles to defend Marines on shore from nearby enemy warships. The U.S. Marines are well known for invading islands and wresting them away from others during a conflict. They also have a lesser-known responsibility to defend them, and the Corps may be getting new ship-killing missiles to aid them in that task.

The test with the Oshkosh-built JLTV and Raytheon’s NSM was a demonstration of the Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) Ground-Based Anti-Ship Missile (GBASM) capability. NMESIS would provide the Marine Corps with a missile capable of sea-skimming, high-g maneuverability, and the ability to engage targets from the side, rather than top-down.

(https://i1.wp.com/militaryleak.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/us-marines-will-field-jltv-rogue-fires-vehicle-with-naval-strike-missile.jpg?w=925&ssl=1)

NMESIS is envisioned to provide anti-ship fires from land as part of an integrated naval anti-surface warfare campaign. The Marine Corps’ GBASM solution consists of an unmanned JLTV-based mobile launch platform, called the Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires (ROGUE-Fires), and the Naval Strike Missile (NSM). The NSM is the same missile used by the navy for the over the horizon weapon system deployed on littoral combat ships.

The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) is an anti-ship and land-attack missile developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA). The English marketing name Naval Strike Missile was adopted later.The state-of-the-art design and use of composite materials is meant to give the missile sophisticated stealth capabilities. The missile will weigh slightly more than 400 kg (880 lb) and have a range of more than 185 km (100 nm).

Here are some big changes that may be coming to the Marine Corps
Todd South

The Marine Corps’ second round of changes to how it fights shows moves in command, aviation, logistics and ground combat and shifts that might see stateside Marine reservists operating drones for active units overseas, ditching weapons companies from infantry battalions, and a host of other moves.

Those are some highlights of what Marine Corps leaders unveiled recently to media with a Force Design 2030 annual update.

The service’s first announcement in 2020 made sweeping changes that included shedding tanks from the ranks, swapping loads of conventional artillery for rockets and reducing the overall manpower from its 2020 level of 186,000 to 174,000 by 2030.

In the 2021 update, the Corps reviewed decisions leadership already has made, laid out next steps and hinted at adjustments that could have impact on forces large and small.

And whatever choices they make, it appears that leaders don’t intend to look back.


“We will succeed, and we will create irreversible momentum with our modernization efforts over the next 24 months,” Commandant Gen. David Berger wrote in the document’s introduction.

The update also may have finally answered lingering questions as to how the Marine Corps will replace its aging light armored vehicle, used primarily for manned, mobile reconnaissance.

The document specifics that Marines have “invalidated the requirement to replace existing LAV-25s with a similar armored, wheeled or tracked manned vehicle in a one-for-one ratio.”

Over the past two years, combined efforts with the Office of Naval Research and the Marine Corps Land Systems office were evaluating a vehicle replacement for the LAV. But Berger had said publicly that an armored ground vehicle might not fit into the small team, island-hopping strategy that the Corps is pursuing.

In a phone interview with various media outlets, Lt. Gen. Eric Smith, deputy commandant for Combat Development and Integration, said that the Corps is looking at capabilities, not platforms, for whatever comes after the LAV.

“What it will be replaced with is not necessarily another vehicle,” Smith said. “It could be, but the capability is to also control air and ground robotics and provide reconnaissance.”

Brig. Gen. Ben Watson, head of the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, added that some of what comes next with an LAV replacement will come out of war gaming and experimentation, for both reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.

Another experiment, the Infantry Battalion Experiment 2030, will take one battalion from each active duty division to run different configurations of forces.

A change being evaluated is to shift to an “arms room” concept. That would mean getting rid of weapons company within the battalion and pushing those weapons such as 81 mm mortars and Javelin missiles to either the headquarters or rifle companies.

That would mean Marines ready to fall in on any weapon system, from machine guns to mortars or missiles, when they arrive at the battalion from the School of Infantry.

That’s partly begun, as Training and Education Command adjust the curriculum at the two SOIs, according to the document.

Major moves on the aviation side have already been announced, such as trimming the number of light, heavy and tilt-rotor helicopter squadrons and moving toward a 40 percent crewed and 60 percent uncrewed aircraft composition.

But leaders are also looking at how they can operate some of those uncrewed drones. And they’re looking to their reservists to help out.

They’re looking at two models to use reservists.

One would take a traditional approach, where 4th Marine Air Wing would operate and maintain the drones with active duty and active reservists doing the work. That would mean reservists drone pilots supporting active duty training and missions in U.S. Northern Command.


Another would mirror the Air National Guard, which would have Marine reservist drone pilots flying drones globally in support of active duty missions.

“Either model would provide our reserve pilots with the opportunity to become significant contributors to our daily operations,” according to the document.

That proposal would see mission control elements established in Alaska and Michigan or in areas with known pilot densities, such as Dallas, San Diego, Honolulu, Atlanta or Washington D.C., according to the document.

Summary of current, major changes:

Command Element


• Established the Marine Forces Space component command.

• Continued divestment of active duty law enforcement, keeping a single law enforcement battalion in the Marine Corps Reserve.

• Examined a Marine Information Group redesign to support the Marine Expeditionary Force.

Ground Combat Element

• Infantry Battalion Experiment 2030 preparations that will experiment with one battalion for each of the three active duty divisions over the next two years.

• Organic precision fires for infantry battalions, which will include loitering munitions.

• Started enhanced infantry training program.

• Preparing to shed three active duty and two reserve infantry battalions.

• Began elimination of two Assault Amphibian companies

• Started fielding Amphibious Combat Vehicle

• Decided not to replace the Light Armored Vehicle with a similar armored, wheeled or tracked manned vehicle. Examining options to convert light armored reconnaissance capabilities to a “more broadly capable Mobile Reconnaissance.”

Aviation Combat Element

• Started shedding all RQ-21 aircraft and introduced MQ-9A and VBat Unmanned Aerial Systems for additional experimentation.

• Started divestment of two Medium Tilt-Rotor Squadrons, planning to being a third in 2021; two Helicopter Marine Light Attack squadrons; 2.75 Heavy Marine Helicopter Squadrons.


Logistics Combat Element

• Finished divestment of all heavy bridging capabilities.

• Examined options for LCE capability/capacity redesign.

• Began studies and analysis for creating unmanned logistics

US Marine Corps Unmanned JLTV Fires Naval Strike Missile for First Time

(https://i2.wp.com/militaryleak.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/us-marine-corps-unmanned-jltv-fires-naval-strike-missile-for-first-time.jpg?w=944&ssl=1)
An unmanned joint light tactical vehicle (JLTV) has launched a Naval Strike Missile (NSM) off the California coast, in a demonstration carried out by the US Marine Corps.

The U.S. Marine Corps wants to be able to sink ships, and it wants that ability fast. The service is looking to field its own anti-ship missiles to defend Marines on shore from nearby enemy warships. The U.S. Marines are well known for invading islands and wresting them away from others during a conflict. They also have a lesser-known responsibility to defend them, and the Corps may be getting new ship-killing missiles to aid them in that task.

The test with the Oshkosh-built JLTV and Raytheon’s NSM was a demonstration of the Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) Ground-Based Anti-Ship Missile (GBASM) capability. NMESIS would provide the Marine Corps with a missile capable of sea-skimming, high-g maneuverability, and the ability to engage targets from the side, rather than top-down.

NMESIS is envisioned to provide anti-ship fires from land as part of an integrated naval anti-surface warfare campaign. The Marine Corps’ GBASM solution consists of an unmanned JLTV-based mobile launch platform, called the Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires (ROGUE-Fires), and the Naval Strike Missile (NSM). The NSM is the same missile used by the navy for the over the horizon weapon system deployed on littoral combat ships.

The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) is an anti-ship and land-attack missile developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA). The English marketing name Naval Strike Missile was adopted later.The state-of-the-art design and use of composite materials is meant to give the missile sophisticated stealth capabilities. The missile will weigh slightly more than 400 kg (880 lb) and have a range of more than 185 km (100 nm).

Sem duvida, este tipo de equipamento poderia ser colocado em ilhas do pacifico (Flashpoint dos USMC para as próximas décadas), escondido, e ser activado em qualquer ponto do tempo em caso de invasão anfíbia chinesa, por exemplo.

E eu já estou a pensar é no potencial de exportação. Por exemplo, sei de umas ilhas no meio do Atlântico que poderiam ganhar alguma protecção.  ::)

Sendo um veículo de pequeno porte (transportável em C-130 por exemplo, e em maior quantidade em navios e aviões maiores), mais ser não-tripulado, representa um multiplicador de forças enorme. Deverá ser uma questão de tempo até arranjarem uma solução semelhante para pequenos navios/lanchas não tripuladas.

What Is Marine Recon?


Citar
Marine Recon is among the most secretive and highly trained organizations within the Corps. Since 1957, the elite group has distinguished itself as a force composed of ambitious, reliable, and highly lethal Marines.

They’re better trained and better equipped than standard infantrymen. Yet, the elite warfighters are not considered special operations — for good reason.

Marine Corps Requirements Call for 9 Light Amphibious Ships per Regiment
By: Mallory Shelbourne

(https://news.usni.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/light_amphibious_warship.png)

SAN DIEGO – The Marine Corps’ latest requirements call for nine smaller amphibious ships per regiment to shuttle Marines and equipment between islands and shorelines, service officials said today.

The service has said for months that it needs 35 Landing Ship Mediums – previously known as the Light Amphibious Warship – for the type of operations it envisions in the Indo-Pacific region. The idea is that the three Marine Littoral Regiments operating in the Indo-Pacific would each have nine LSMs, while leaving room for eight ships that would inevitably get tied up in maintenance periods, according to a new Marine Corps video about requirements.

The Marine Corps came up with this requirement after modeling and simulations, deputy commandant for combat development and integration Lt. Gen. Karsten Heckl said Tuesday at the WEST 2023 conference, co-hosted by the U.S. Naval Institute and AFCEA.

“It doesn’t necessarily need to be a Marine Littoral Regiment,” he said. “So the square footage, the cargo – and that’s where we came up with the requirements – berthing, fuel, all of it,” Heckl said.

The requirements focused on tonnage, square footage for cargo and the need for Marines to move around the region on their own, without the benefit of long runways or ports and piers.

While the program has faced fits and starts over the last few years, Marine Corps officials say the requirements are solid and now it’s time to start building the ship.

“This is all done together. We agree on the requirements. Now we’re trying to move,” Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Eric Smith said during a keynote at the conference.

The ACMC dismissed criticism of the LSM program that argues the platform won’t be survivable, which has been a focal point of the program discourse between the Navy and Marine Corps, USNI News previously reported.

“We’re part of the fleet and if the fleet commander determines that this high-value package of the assets that we just talked about – all the great things: [Navy-Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System], Rogue [fires], [Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radars] – that they need to move from point A to point B, the fleet commander … the 3rd Fleet commander, will apply resources to get that package where it needs to go,” Smith said.

The hope is to start producing the LSMs in the Fiscal Year 2025 to FY 2026 timeline, Smith said. The FY 2023 budget proposal delayed the buy for LAW from FY 2023 to FY 2025.

That delay occurred as the Navy and Marine Corps worked on the requirements for the ship and discussed affordability and survivability. The Marine Corps wants a less expensive ship that can move Marines around so they can set up expeditionary bases on islands and shorelines.

“It has to be affordable because you have to produce it in quantity because that is your organic mobility with limited days of warning, we move … key elements to strategic points, pre-determined points,” Smith said.

While the Marine Corps says it needs 35 LSMs, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday’s navigation plan called for 18 LAWs, the previous name for the program. Asked about that difference, Heckl said he and deputy chief of naval operations for warfighting requirements and capabilities (OPNAV N9) Vice Adm. Scott Conn crafted requirement language that says the ultimate requirement is 35, but “the initial operational inventory will be 18.”

The LSM program is getting close to the end of the preliminary design review, Heckl told two reporters at the conference.

“You’re going to see a more definitive way forward I think here in the coming months with the timeline,” Heckl said.

In the meantime, the Marine Corps is leasing one stern landing vessel, with the option to lease two more, to test and experiment with the concept. That first vessel, built by Thoma-Sea in Louisiana, went into the water on Monday, Heckl said.

“They’ve put jacks on it – forward, aft. This is a one-of-a-kind ship,” he said.
“We’re on contract for up to 2 more. But these are the things we’re going to learn from and then we’ll iterate on.”

After a contentious budget cycle that began with the Navy and Marine Corps showcasing different priorities in the FY 2023 request, lawmakers in the FY 2023 National Defense Authorization Act provided the Marine Corps Commandant with a direct say in amphibious ship force structure and requirements. While the ships are key to the Marine Corps’ missions, the Navy purchases them out of its shipbuilding account.

“It clearly states from Congress that the role of the commandant of the Marine Corps in defining requirements. That’s a very positive thing. It doesn’t say anything negative about a personal relationship between the [chief of naval operations] and the commandant or the two services are bickering with each other,” Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger said in December when asked about the legislation.

"The activation of the 11th Marine Regiment's Long Range Missile Battery A brings us our first look at what the Marines will be mounting their Tomahawks on. While they will have far fewer cruise missiles compared to the Army's MRC, the launchers will be as mobile as NMESIS."

Tomahawk num JLTV hehehehehehe, lindo

Adoro a loucura do MIC americano

As autoridades norte-americanas encontraram um campo de destroços do caça F-35 que caiu no domingo na Carolina do Sul e que estava desaparecido desde então, adiantou esta segunda-feira a Marinha dos EUA.

As autoridades apelaram também à ajuda dos cidadãos para encontrar o F-35, um pedido incomum que gerou imediatamente várias reações e levantou dúvidas sobre como foi possível perder um caça que custa pelo menos 74,8 milhões de euros.
