Equipping the 21st Century Marine Corps: Alternative Equipping Strategies for Task-Organized Units

by Joslyn Fleming, Matthew W. Lewis, Jonathan P. Wong

A lack of specific policy to validate and manage resources used by these units causes many problems. To mitigate provisional unit equipping challenges, a multipronged approach is the best course of action.
