The Marines call it their “Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations” concept. Here s What You Need to Remember: Observers long have expected the Marines to cut back on heavy combat forces in order to free up money and manpower for new anti-ship units.

The U.S. Marine Corps a few years ago started saying it needed to get serious about sinking enemy warships. Now the amphibious branch is putting its money where its mouth is. The Corps is asking Congress for money to start buying two powerful new anti-ship missile types. One is a new version of the venerable Tomahawk cruise missile. The other, an adaptation of the U.S. Navy’s stealthy Naval Strike Missile.
