As our Nation recovers from an unprecedented fiscal crisis, the Marine Corps is responsibly building a relevant, lean, and prudent force for the 21st century. The emerging security threats to our Nation demand that America have a globally responsive, truly expeditionary, consistently ready maritime crisis response force…they demand America have a Marine Corps. While austerity may make us a leaner institution and a leaner force, we are committed to maintaining our readiness – the real measure of our ability to meet tomorrow’s threats. Our innovative spirit, strong leadership, and enduring stewardship of the Nation’s resources will guide our modernization, as has been our hallmark for more than two centuries. We will invest in our Marines as they are the cornerstone of our capability. We will reset our warfighting equipment and reconstitute our force after more than a decade of combat operations. We will maintain our investments in the research and development of new equipment and technologies that ensure our Nation’s crisis response force remains relevant and ready. In the midst of austerity, these critical investments are America’s hedge against an uncertain tomorrow. show less
