WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Marine Corps is asking for money in fiscal 2024<\/a> to speed up its forcewide modernization effort as it tries to rapidly field new weapons, sensors and data processors, the commandant told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acceleration attempt comes as the service learns to leverage new tools and organizational structures under the Force Design 2030 transformation effort, and as threats in the Pacific put pressure on Marines there to grow more capable and nimble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documents from the recently released FY24 budget request show the Corps wants $16.9 billion in equipment modernization alone, plus $343 million for the related Talent Management 2030 reform effort and $581 million for training and education modernization<\/a>. Force Design\u2019s focus is evolving toward supporting the people performing the service\u2019s mission as well as how they\u2019re trained and retained<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commandant Gen. David Berger told Defense News on Wednesday at the McAleese & Associates conference that the budget request would speed up \u201ceverything from anti-ship capability to sensing capability to [unmanned aerial vehicles] to the processing of all that information and intelligence we\u2019re going to collect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also fields larger acquisition programs like the CH-53K heavy-lift helicopter and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter \u201cas fast as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berger previewed his unfunded priorities list, which will go to lawmakers later this month. He said the list won\u2019t include anything unique but rather would use additional funds from lawmakers to speed up these ongoing modernization efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget documents show the Marine Corps\u2019 biggest bucket of spending is $6.55 billion for logistics systems, transportation and pre-positioning assets. This includes money for the final two KC-130J refueling and cargo planes, 15 CH-53K heavy-lift helicopters, 80 personnel variant Amphibious Combat Vehicles, and 396 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service also requested $5.65 billion for platforms that sense and detect. These include the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter \u2014 16 vertical-landing \u201cB\u201d variants and four carrier-landing \u201cC\u201d variants \u2014 and 18 MQ-9A drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another $971 million in spending covers air- and ground-launched fires, including $363 million for the NMESIS \u2014 the Navy\/Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System, which is essentially an unmanned Joint Light Tactical Vehicle with a sophisticated radar and launchers full of anti-ship missiles. Budget documents show this category of spending includes funding for 90 Naval Strike Missiles and 34 tactical Tomahawk missiles that offer 10 times greater range, giving the NMESIS launchers options and depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget documents outline another $864 million for defense against air, ground and electronic attack; $478 million for data integration, analysis and dissemination tools; and $201 million for the fusion of sensors data for planning, direction and control, among other Force Design 2030 spending categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a separate event Thursday, Berger again said the FY24 request sought to \u201cnot just maintain momentum, but add speed\u201d to fielding these capabilities to Marines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Defense One\u2019s State of the Marine Corps online event, the commandant said China represents a pacing challenge to the U.S. \u201cYou have to not just keep pace, you want to stay in front of that. So the funds in this year\u2019s budget allow us to accelerate everything from command and control to fires to\u201d sensing, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same event, Brig. Gen. Joseph Clearfield, the deputy commander of Marine Corps Forces, Pacific, said this acceleration comes as his Marines in Japan, Hawaii and throughout the region are feeling temporal pressure. In China, he sees a force that is 2.5 million strong, all reporting to a single authoritarian leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think time is our friend right now. I think we feel like we\u2019re on the clock right now and it\u2019s counting down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referencing Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, Clearfield said the world is \u201cseeing right now what happens when you have an army like that that just answers to one person \u2014 what can happen very very quickly. So I think we feel like we\u2019re on the clock\u201d to create a strong deterrent to stop China from invading Taiwan or picking another fight with a local nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China considers Taiwan a rogue province and has threatened to take back the island by force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, the Defense Department also included $9.1 billion in its FY24 request for the Pacific Deterrence Initiative, which would allow the Marine Corps to build out its new Camp Blaz on Guam and increase its operations in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berger told Defense News after his remarks at the McAleese conference that the Pacific Deterrence Initiative funds wouldn\u2019t necessarily add more exercises to the regionally based Marines\u2019 schedules, but rather add \u201cmore countries as part of the exercise, where you do the exercise, who\u2019s invited,\u201d he said \u2014 and ensuring the training happens \u201cwhere the [People\u2019s Republic of China] can see it happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spending will also help, \u201cas fast as possible, getting 3rd [Marine Littoral Regiment] up to where they\u2019re fully operationally capable. Start building the 12th MLR. Distribute the force. Work with the Philippines and Japanese and everybody else<\/a>, Australia. Build out Guam quickly. All that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FY24 request supports increasingly complex operations and experimentation for the Hawaii-based 3rd MLR. It would also begin transitioning the 12th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, an artillery regiment in Okinawa, Japan, into the Corps\u2019 second MLR. The regiment would officially become 12th MLR in 2025 and reach initial operational capability by 2027, Clearfield said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, Berger added, the budget allows the service to plan for the potential conversion of 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs [the first two MLRs] train, practice, operate, we\u2019ll know for sure whether the third one, which is 4th Marines: Should it become an MLR also or stay as a regiment? And I think that\u2019s a decision probably next year to make, I would imagine, but we\u2019re leaning forward as if yes, that way you\u2019re not caught flat-footed,\u201d Berger said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
