Marine Corps Restructuring, Littoral Regiments in Japan
The U.S. Marine Corps is repurposing its presence in Japan into "littoral regiments" designed for island-hopping campaigns against China. Commandant David Berger and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin support this shift toward mobile, missile-based units. However, retired General Paul Van Riper criticized the plan, arguing that the Marines are divesting from essential capabilities like tanks and artillery before new systems are fully operational.
