Gen. Karsten Heckl, deputy commandant for Combat Development and Integration, said at a media roundtable Friday. \u201cI feel like we\u2019re in front of it right now. And we\u2019ve got to stay there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/unmanned\/2023\/04\/05\/how-the-marines-will-use-uncrewed-tech-according-to-acquisitions-boss\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4730851.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">How the Marines will use uncrewed tech, according to acquisitions boss<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Corps\u2019 experimentation with systems that require no crew comes as part of an ambitious revamp of the service.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Marine leaders aren\u2019t yet sure how they will find or train people with the knowledge to operate those systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFinding the structure, finding the right people and then getting them properly trained is a whole nother set of challenges,\u201d Heckl said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing Heckl said he does know: Robotics work won\u2019t be relegated to a collateral duty or a secondary military occupational specialty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the roundtable Friday, Marine generals stressed that technology won\u2019t replace human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of uncrewed aircraft that collect massive amounts of data, \u201cyou have to have the ability to do with that data what needs to be done so that humans who are the ultimate decision-makers have the ability to make the correct decision,\u201d said Brig. Gen. Stephen Lightfoot, director of the Corps\u2019 Capabilities Development Directorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By September, the Corps will incorporate robotics concepts and applications into its training and education centers, according to the Force Design update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the following year, leadership \u201cwill develop a strategy to recruit and retain personnel with IRAS knowledge\u201d and \u201cto integrate robotics specialties throughout the total force,\u201d the update states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That could mean forming an occupational field dedicated to the technology, according to the update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it has proven tough for the Marine Corps, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2022\/12\/28\/militarys-special-pay-keeps-cyber-experts-from-jumping-ship\/\">as for the other services<\/a>, to recruit and retain troops who possess the valuable technical knowledge that could translate to higher salaries in the civilian sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps is trying out a variety of strategies to fill its tech gap. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marines.mil\/News\/Messages\/Messages-Display\/Article\/3198380\/fy23-enlistment-incentive-programs\/\">offering bonuses<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2023\/02\/07\/tech-whizzes-and-ceos-find-homes-in-corps-new-reserve-innovation-unit\/\">making use of expertise reservists developed<\/a> at their civilian jobs, and letting some people with in-demand skills join or rejoin at a higher rank than they otherwise would \u2015 a program called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2023\/03\/06\/first-lateral-entrants-could-join-the-marine-corps-within-months\/\">lateral entry<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lateral entry is one option the Marine Corps is considering as a way to lure people with robotics expertise, according to Monday\u2019s Force Design update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update also raises the possibility of holding robotics competitions as a recruiting tactic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lot of this discussion is undefined,\u201d Heckl said. \u201cWhat we do realize is the significance of this. There\u2019s a lot of folks \u2026 that say this is the 21st-century equivalent of the machine gun. So this is a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marine leaders aren\u2019t yet sure how they will find or train people with the knowledge to operate autonomous
