QUANTICO, Va.
Marine Corps Systems Command is developing and fielding new, cutting-edge power and water capabilities to modernize the service and align with the commandant’s vision of the future force.
Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. David Berger considers battlefield efficiency a priority in supporting the future Marine.
“Your forward contact forces that are deterring every day are your fighting forces,” Berger said during an Amphibious Warship Industrial Base Coalition event in February 2020. “They’ll be asked to operate in small, distributed groups, capable of taking a location, using it to refuel and rearm planes, strike a target or move supplies, and then pack up and move to a new location within 48 to 72 hours.”
