Marines Going Back to Sea
Norman Polmar | October 23, 2007
The Navy’s newly published maritime strategy -- officially A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower -- calls for the return of Marine Corps detachments on a “wider variety” of Navy ships and Coast Guard cutters. When the strategy was unveiled at the Naval War College in mid-October it was announced that “Marines will continue to be employed as air-ground task forces operating from amphibious ships to conduct variety of missions, such as power projection…. But they will also be employed as detachments aboard a wider variety of ships and cutters for maritime security missions.”
