when the army gets the above systems will the marines use them? in a way it seems it goes against the mission of the corps. but otherwise the marines will be far behind in technology.

The Marines originally planned to use FCS technology to develop the MEFFV, but the FCS seems poised to take major cuts as existing systems work good enough for most people and it's hard to justify the massive expenditures for systems largely based on technology that doesn't work right yet.

In a large Warfighting Lab exercise a few years back, at least one Marine squad was equiped with the current Land Warrior suite. They were impressed with the comms & control capability which enabled much more dispersed operations for the squad.
