The Marine Corps wants to ramp up its ground combat and long-range fires capabilities with a burst of fresh funding -- and it's getting rid of more than $9 USD million worth of old gear to help pay for it… …the Marine Corps wants to invest in the Ground/Based Anti-Ship Missile/Remotely Operated Ground Expeditionary (Rogue) Fires Vehicle, a system that includes a drone truck with a chassis based on a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle. It's in search of a missile that will allow it to target and destroy ships from shore. The fiscal 2022 budget request includes $47.9 USD million to begin buying Naval Strike Missiles the drone truck system can fire. Ultimately, the service wants the system to equip future Marine Corps Littoral Regiments, tasked with fighting and operating in coastal areas, likely in the Pacific… Anyone make a GBASM yet? |

Waco Joe, you forgot the main part – defense contractor shareholders will buy new mansions and luxury cars. |
