In: THE MARINE CORPS GAZETTE: Volume 108, Number 10, October 2024, Page 70-74Summary: The implementation of Force Design 2030 marks a critical and perilous phase for the United States Marine Corps. This period is defined by escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Indo-Pacific, and the need for the Corps to transition from traditional land-centric operations to a maritime-focused strategy. As the Marine Corps adopts innovative concepts like Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations and Stand-In Forces to counter peer competitors, it faces significant risks, including the potential loss of legacy capabilities. Critics argue that these changes may hinder crisis response, while proponents assert that they are essential for maintaining relevance in modern warfare. To succeed, the Marine Corps must remain agile, continuously reassessing its strategies and capabilities to adapt to an evolving security landscape. The effectiveness of Force Design 2030 will depend on balancing innovation with operational readiness in an uncertain world.
