According to Gen. David Berger, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, this means taking on more risk to ensure greater battlefield rewards.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily the embracing of new ideas that\u2019s hard. It\u2019s letting go of the old,\u201d Berger said during a June 13 talk with the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to accept risk in certain areas and move very quickly if we\u2019re going to stay in front.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Berger\u2019s comments focused on the Marine Corps\u2019 ongoing implementation of Force Design 2030, a program begun in 2020 with the goal of preparing the Marine Corps for a naval war against major adversaries like China.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Refocusing on Amphibious Warfare<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many strategists believe that the world is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/china-and-us-heading-into-long-period-of-naval-competition-expert_4718761.html\">entering a new era<\/a> of naval competition between great powers. Any conflict between the United States and China would turn on the ability of either side to control vital sea lanes.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese naval forces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/gop-senators-question-bidens-navy-budget-as-china-projects-having-150-more-ships-than-us-by-2028_5159907.html\">greatly outnumber<\/a> the U.S. Navy in terms of surface combatants. This means that, should a war break out in the Indo-Pacific, the United States would be starting at a sizable disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p>According to Berger, naval power will only become more vital to ensuring the national interest in the coming decade, and the U.S. Marines will be central to that effort.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSubmarines, aircraft carriers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-could-the-militaries-of-europe-contribute-to-defending-taiwan\/\" title=\"What Could the Militaries of Europe Contribute to Defending Taiwan?\">amphibious forces<\/a>. Those three categories are what great naval powers have to have in order to protect their national interests,\u201d Berger said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to go back to our naval roots and be naval. Not because it\u2019s our roots, but because that\u2019s how we\u2019re most effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After 20 years in the Middle East, Berger said, there are difficulties adjusting back to the amphibious operations for which the Marine Corps was created. Nevertheless, he said, acting in close coordination with the Navy and refocusing on amphibious strike power would grant the nation a decided advantage in any conflict.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Leveraging New Technologies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Marine Corps is also looking to ensure that new technologies, whether they be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-marines-to-integrate-tech-amphibious-power-against-china\/\" title=\"US Marines to use technology and amphibious power against China.\">space-based targeting systems<\/a> or autonomous vehicles, are understood at every level of command.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a growing acknowledgement that we have to be able to fight in a degraded information environment,\u201d Berger said. \u201cWe have to be able to fight in a contested electromagnetic spectrum.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>By leveraging new technologies, the Marine Corps hopes to gain an edge over its adversaries and ensure that it remains a vital component of the nation\u2019s defense strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The Marine Corps is doubling down on advanced technologies to counter power rivals like China.<\/li>\n<li>Refocusing on amphibious warfare will grant the nation a decided advantage in any conflict.<\/li>\n<li>Leveraging new technologies will help the Marine Corps gain an edge over its adversaries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corps.
