Common sense is and has been an uncommon virtue since CMC Berger and CMC Smith began their reigns of destruction of the Mighty MEF CENTRIC OFFENSIVE MAGTF. Force Design must be vaporized!
Regarding close-in air defense, I don't know why we didn't just stick with an updated LAV-AD Blazer, instead of the MADIS System. It had Stingers and the 25mm gatling gun to defeat drones. Theater level air defense should be a Navy or Army mission.
Our MAGTF needs offensive weapons. We need mobile artillery and tanks. All the money being used on FD could be better spent rebuilding our combined arms team.
I concur with the comments here! FD2030 insanity has ruined our beloved Corps MAGTF capabilities and must be reversed immediately implementing VISION2035 to save our Corps and restore our MAGTF lethality and capabilities!
Scotty “Beam me some supplies from the Stateside Depot”. Need them now! Can Amazon deliver by noon?
When almost all of the missiles are all fired, we will be back to bullets, bayonets, bombs, and yep, the “Old Faithful” Combined Arms MAGTF.
As we all know, in a peaceful environment the forward deployed MAGTF is a great deterrent and “goto” force to handle a no notice crisis.
Maneuver warfare.
Winners focus on offense.
Losers can only cover up and defend.
How many units? What is their basic allowance for missiles? Where is their resupply located and how does it get to the firing units?
No supply points???? Where do replacement then reside??

20mm Gatling. I'd prefer Madis with 30mm air burst. Might I like that package more on the new ARV? Probably.
Andy, check out the German Skyranger! It has 30mm airburst also. Built by Rhinemetall.
