As we navigate an increasingly complex strategic environment, the traditional ARG/MEU construct—while still vital—must evolve to meet new challenges. In my latest piece for CIMSEC: Center for International Maritime Security, co-authored with LtCol Steven Bancroft, we make the case for deeper Navy-Marine Corps integration to counter peer competitors and advanced A2/AD threats. Key takeaways: → Modern adversaries are challenging U.S. sea dominance with sophisticated sensors, cyber capabilities, and hypersonic weapons  → Integrated formations like Task Force 76/3 demonstrate how combined command structures enhance both responsiveness and lethality  → Success requires seamless coordination between Distributed Maritime Operations and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations The bottom line? Maritime lethality in the 21st century demands more than technology—it requires a fundamental shift in how our naval services operate together. What barriers do you see to deeper integration between the Navy and Marine Corps?
