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.
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.”

Growing up, it was always a source of pride that relatives and friends from our small town in Hawai’i did their part for our country and, at great cost, liberated communities across Europe.

A relative of mine, Pvt Edward Sato, fought around Bruyères as part of Co C, 100th Inf Bn, 442nd Regimental Combat Team - a unit comprised primarily of Japanese Americans.
Tragically, he passed away two years after the end of the war in Europe, and I never knew his stories.
