After all, Marines can\u2019t conduct small-unit operations if they lack additional surveillance data from other sources or are unable to pass along targeting data they collect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To that end, Murray said, the Corps is working on both Project Dynamis \u2014 the service\u2019s contribution to the Pentagon\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2024\/02\/22\/pentagons-cjadc2-milestone-is-signal-to-china-officials-say\/\" target=\"_blank\">Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control initiative<\/a>, or CJADC2 \u2014 and a network unification plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a recent reorganization of its acquisition offices at Marine Corps Systems Command and Program Executive Office Land Systems, the service created a Marine Air-Ground Task Force Command and Control program office. Previously, ground-based command-and-control systems fell under MCSC, while aviation-related C2 systems fell under PEO LS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the new program office, Murray said the Corps still lacked the ingredients to build and coordinate its contribution to CJADC2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re not going to solve CJADC2 for the joint force, but we are going to figure out how we contribute and fit into that,\u201d he said of Project Dynamis. Work is ongoing to align with U.S. Indo-Pacific Command\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2023\/05\/24\/lockheed-paces-jadc2-information-sharing-at-northern-edge\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joint Fires Network<\/a>, a battle management system; the Navy\u2019s secretive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2024\/02\/12\/rebellion-to-supply-software-for-navys-secretive-project-overmatch\/\" target=\"_blank\">Project Overmatch<\/a> initiative; the Army\u2019s experimental series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/project-convergence\/\" target=\"_blank\">Project Convergence<\/a>; and the Air and Space forces\u2019 DAF Battle Network and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2023\/01\/10\/us-air-force-wants-industry-input-for-innovative-abms-technologies\/\" target=\"_blank\">Advanced Battle Management System<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4464\" height=\"2976\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8203372.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8203372.jpg.jpg 4464w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8203372.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8203372.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8203372.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8203372.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8203372.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4464px) 100vw, 4464px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">U.S. Marines monitor the horizon in search of notional targets by using binoculars and employing a radar system at an expeditionary advanced base on San Clemente Island, Calif., on Jan. 10, 2024. (Gunnery Sgt. Antonio Campbell\/U.S. Marine Corps)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brig. Gen. David Walsh, the head of Marine Corps Systems Command, said \u201cthe ability to communicate across the Marine Corps, across the joint force, across our coalition of partners \u2014 it is the No.1 capability I think we need to accelerate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For his part, Brig. Gen. Stephen Lightfoot, the director of the Capabilities Development Directorate that oversees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/unmanned\/2023\/06\/05\/us-marines-are-developing-air-launched-swarming-munitions-for-helos\/\" target=\"_blank\">Marine Corps requirements<\/a>, said that as much as the service enjoys its self-sufficient Marine Air-Ground Task Force, \u201cwe are probably never going to go into any battle in the future as the Marine Corps; we\u2019re going to go into it as the United States with our allies and partners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd that\u2019s how we\u2019re going to have to fight, which just shows the criticality of CJADC2,\u201d he added. \u201cIf our systems don\u2019t work together, then we\u2019ll have to be partitioned. They have to work together so that we can work together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even as the Corps considers how data will flow between joint and combined C2 systems, it\u2019s also worried about how data flows inside its own web of networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Murray said all the services have various network modernization plans underway, noting Marines are focused on ensuring the Marine Corps Enterprise Network can extend all the way to the tactical edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cloud computing and processing power has evolved such that Marines in the field can posses significant data processing power in a very small form factor. But they could have even more processing power for even greater data-informed operations if they were connected to the Corps\u2019 larger network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the fleets worry that setup will diminish their effectiveness if they lose connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Murray said the goal for network unification is to allow for any Marine on the ground in Luzon, Philippines, for example, to \u201cconnect all the way back into the big-data clouds, but if he gets cut off he can still operate tactically with his [Ultra Light Tactical Vehicle] and the amount of storage and capability he\u2019s got right there, continue to work off the data he has locally available to him. And then when they reconnect back into [the cloud], when it becomes more permissive, then the opportunity to re-synchronize with the greater architecture is all about what we\u2019re trying to do for the network unification.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4654\" height=\"3103\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3913134.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3913134.jpg.jpg 4654w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3913134.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3913134.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3913134.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3913134.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3913134.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4654px) 100vw, 4654px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">U.S. Marine Corps Cpl.
