The Marine Corps must remain focused on its amphibious roots and enhance its expeditionary mindset if it is to remain a 'versatile, fast-moving and hard-hitting...' force to meet the demands of the American people and those of the world. As an amphibious force in expeditionary readiness, the Marine Corps must take the time to re-evaluate its role providing rapid response to regions in the 'Arc of Instability' and other similar littorals throughout the world. Logistically mature theaters of operation as seen in the current operating environment (COE) will not exist in the future. To enhance expeditionary capability and to prepare for operations beyond the COE, the Marine Corps must reduce the weight of it equipment and the weight of the individual Marine's combat load, return to the basics by educating and training the Marine Corps on the logistics of amphibious operations, and finally, focus the efforts of logisticians within the MAGTF to provide right time logistics support from ship to shore.
