Marine Corps Commandant Louis H Wilson testified to the House Armed Services Committee that the Marines remain the Nation's ready for forcible entry capability. He rejected claims the amphibious mission is outdated, noting ongoing need for fleet marine forces. A Brookings report urged modernization and less emphasis on traditional landing craft. Wilson promised a March 1 review of force structure for the 1980s and cited a 41.9 million research budget as limited to landing force needs. The general praised today’s Marines as capable, well-trained and ready.
