I was reading this article (see below) about the need to turn the Army into a mobile infantry
He talks about a light infantry unit, being reorganizing as a motorized company because nothing was within walking distance. “Paktika is 19,101 square kilometers, with over 600 kilometers of border with Pakistan” and the motorized unit’s lack of a combat service support system
He talks about “As part of the current Army transformation, every light infantry brigade is undergoing a massive overhaul of task organization and equipment to become the new Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT)”
My question does anyone thing the Marine Corps will reorg all rifle/weapons companies to motorized unit’s or mechanized unit’s?
Thanks
Lee
