The US Marine Corps is an extremely conservative organization which is very resistant to change.  Today's Marine Corps has retained the same basic organization, bases, and deployment patterns for the past twenty years.   A far more capable Marine Corps can be formed at lower costs by adopting these recommendations.

Nine MEUs - the US Marine Corps can boost readiness

CL-130 Seaplanes - can land almost anywhere.

Modern Amphibious Warfare -  current doctrine is flawed

155mm Mortars - light weapon, heavy firepower

Global Marines - US Marines must deploy worldwide, not just to Japan

Combat Bullhorns - simple, reliable comm

Update Helicopter Assault Tactics - avert future military blunders

Six Marine Corps Divisions - 10,000-man divisions

Marine Corps Aviation Must Change - still stuck in post-Vietnam deployment patterns

Battalion Scout Helicopters - an inexpensive idea to boost combat power

US Marine Corps Fat - free manpower
