The Marine Corps’ controversial decision to scrap scout sniper platoons “came from the ground up."
The service has said it needs Marines who can defend against cyber attacks and launch some of their own.
Will he write a book? "I haven’t given it any thought," Gen. David Berger said.
The next phase of experimentation will focus on what battalions need.
The joint force's speed of modernization and shared common goal are lacking, the top Marine says.
But it appears changes, if any, aren’t coming soon.
Marines who have twice been passed over for promotion have a chance to stay in the service.
The Marine Corps is about to release a document codifying “information” as a warfighting function.
Officers may also have new non-command career paths.

It's criminal to not train Marines on counter-IEDs before they deploy, this 2-star general said.
New tools will give access to lower echelons for their own wargaming.
Infantry battalions will be more distributed than ever before, and that will be the new normal.
New mobile charging stations have arrived at some bases.
Strategic reconnaissance and irregular warfare are the future.
From field-ready fuel, inflatable piers and 3D printed masks, Marine ideas are now in their hands.
The rifle will replace both the Mk13 Mod 7 and the M40A6 sniper rifles.
Fewer PCS moves for Marines already are starting.
