US Marine commandant: Fund ‘Force Design 2030,’ or
leave the Corps in a ‘lurch’

Asked what new capabilities the Marine
Corps would field in 2023, Berger highlighted the NMESIS, or Navy/Marine Corps
Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System: a ground-based anti-ship missile paired
with an unmanned version of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle. He described a
fleet of these unmanned trucks, called ROGUE Fires vehicles, and perhaps a
manned JLTV in the mix to act as quarterback. They’d move around a battlespace,
tied in with radars and other sensors, and be able to hold any land- or
sea-based targets at risk for significant distances.
The NMESIS already conducted a few high-profile demonstrations, and the Corps will begin receiving the system in 2023.
