We, we wanna make sure that by the time we reach twenty forty, at the end of this, we have integrated human machine teaming that takes a lot of the risk to the humans down to the level where it's acceptable, and we can shoot, move, communicate, and survive on the battlefield.

When I think about your question related to dominate specifically, I think about something every Marine in boot camp learns.

The mission of the Marine Rifle Squad is to locate, close with, and destroy the enemy by fire maneuver or to repel the enemy's assault by fire and close combat.

We kill people, and we break things, and that's fundamentally what the nation wants the Marine Corps to do.

As you take the Commandant's planning guidance and you begin to apply the Marine Littoral Regiment and some of the force design concepts and modernization that we've brought into the Marine Corps as we begin to focus more so than in the deserts that the General and I grew up in and into the maritime aspect of littorals, location matters.

And that's what, that's the value proposition of the Marine Corps.

We will be other places, places that other people will not be.

We, we can't go toe-to-toe a-as a Marine Corps certainly with, with an adversary like China, but we can play a huge part in not just maintaining that key terrain that General Cl- or that Colonel Clark talked about, but being at decisive points, attacking critical vulnerabilities, and really enabling the joint force, the larger joint force to penetrate and deliver decisive firepower and effects.
