Expeditionary Planning Guidance

The Navy is trying to imagine alternatives to the traditional amphibious ready group to project Marine land and air power around the globe:

The Commandant’s Planning Guidance has sparked several questions about the future of the amphibious ship fleet – how many ships are needed, and what kinds of ships will have a role in the future – and while answers are still in development, the expeditionary warfare community has a lot of thoughts on the matter.

I have a suggestion for adding numbers, which the Army (in 2016 in Military Review) thought had potential merit.
