In FY23, the Navy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2022\/03\/28\/us-navy-budget-would-pay-for-9-ships-decommission-24-amid-readiness-drive\/\">announced it would decommission<\/a> four Whidbey Island-class amphibious dock landing ships early, buy one last San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock before ending the production line and postpone the construction of the next America-class amphibious assault ship to 2031.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marines rely on these larger ships to haul Marine Expeditionary Units, and they want the new light amphibious warship to move around smaller formations as part of emerging operational concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deputy Commandant for Programs and Resources Lt. Gen. Christopher Mahoney, speaking Thursday at a Marine Corps Association event, referred to Marine items cut in the FY23 budget-making process as ones \u201cwe were trying to defend, that we were trying to appeal, that we were trying to recover and get those resources back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marines appeared to be facing a similar challenge earlier this fall, as the Navy and Marine Corps worked to craft a 2024 budget request for the Pentagon\u2019s review. Defense News previously reported the Navy was considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2022\/10\/04\/us-marines-warn-against-navys-fy24-decommission-scheme\/\">decommissioning another four amphibious ships<\/a> ahead of their planned retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the mid-October deadline to finalize the Department of Navy request grew closer, however, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2022\/10\/04\/us-marines-warn-against-navys-fy24-decommission-scheme\/\">Gen. Eric Smith told Defense News<\/a> top Navy and Marine Corps leadership were \u201cmaking genuine progress to ensure that operational commanders have the amphibious ships they need to execute the missions they have been assigned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither the Navy nor the Marine Corps has disclosed the details of a potential compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll see what happens in the budget, but as I stand here right now, going into the \u2026 post-program review for \u201824, I feel a lot better,\u201d Mahoney said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s wholeness of the program costs, scheduled performance of each of our [major acquisition programs] or other items, I feel better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He noted Congress still hadn\u2019t passed a defense authorization bill or a defense spending bill for the current year \u2014 the government is operating under a continuing resolution \u2014 and that creates some uncertainty. But he insisted he\u2019s in a much improved position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahoney, who spoke at length about the Marines\u2019 vision for its future under its Force Design 2030 modernization effort, said early talks about the FY25 submission are already taking place, and the clarity of the requirement for Marine spending in outyears makes him \u201cfeel very, very good about how we entered into the planning and then the programming phase of \u201825.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite worries the Navy wouldn&#8217;t fund Marine Corps
