This may be my favorite lines of the entire text:

2/2

A lot of recognition has gone to TF 61/2, but not as much to TF 76/3.

Glad USINDOPACOM is getting due recognition, @datrnq

3d MLR and the PMC Coastal Defense Regiment getting some love in the #FD2030 update.

Glad to see that L-Class ships made it into the discussion this year.

Littoral maneuver is different from mobility, and we need this ships for our Marines and Sailors to survive in future conflict.

I hope a counter-assault doctrine is incorporated, too! warontherocks.com/2023/01/deterr…

The MAOC is the USMC’s unique contribution to future warfare.

Although it is an ACE capability, as @br4s1d4s and @AMDuncan0 rightly point out, there is potential for its future application as a joint C2 capability.

Our beloved infantry battalions are not forgotten in this #ForceDesign2030 update, @MAGTravF

Logistics is the pacing function in the Pacific, and I have my choices on where the USMC should invest in pre-positioning networks in USINDOPACOM.

Strong finish with a nod to our A & P:

“Modernizing the Corps in this way improves our ability to deter potential adversaries by providing credible support to naval campaigns and expanding integration with the naval and joint force, as well as our allies and partners.”
