Gen. Kevin Iiams told reporters at a Tuesday media roundtable as part of the Modern Day Marine expo being held virtually from Quantico, Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to make sure that we stay informed with where the actual Marines who are employing the MLR are seeing the gaps and the seems and the fruition of the MLR,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tentative plan is to turn the 3rd Marine Regiment based on Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, into the experimental 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment, Iiams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to infantry Marines, logistics forces already based in Hawaii will be added to the regiment along with anti-air elements that are currently stationed on the mainland United States, Iiams added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll put that all in, we\u2019ll do some experimentation over the next couple of years out there in Hawaii to see what this will look like for a for an MLR,\u201d Iiams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen inform that back as we need to make continual changes for future pieces of equipment that we may need to reinforce gaps that we find or change the overarching construct if that is what needs to be done,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In
