USMC 2035

USMC 2035 is an imagining of how the USMC would look and operate given USMC doctrinal changes made in the 2020’s and the decreased budget/economic power of the United States in the 2035 setting. The result is a leaner more agile USMC that focuses on light armor, light infantry, artillery, and integrated air power to rapidly deploy and assault NATO’s enemies.


In the 2030's, the newly remodeled United States Marine Corps was deployed to various theaters around the globe, serving as a large expeditionary force for US and NATO Forces.
Commanded by General R.L Bekkets, The Corps has seen thick and thin throughout numerous deployments to Malden, Altis, Stratis, and Tanoa, often being cited as the premier force on the field.
Despite their Late 2010's-Early 2020's remodel and reconfiguration, which saw a complete restructure of their armored capability, the USMC has adopted new weapons to replace what was lost. An Increase in Amphibious Assault Vehicles, artillery, air power, and a substantial boost in their infantry capability, offering new optics, firearms, explosives, and equipment for grunts in the field. The USMC has gone through many changes during the two decades long depression of the US economy and the rise of CSAT. The Corps is a much smaller entity than it once was. Returning to its roots, the USMC of 2035 conducts expeditionary amphibious operations with a focus on light infantry and combined arms. While the USMC primarily operates in the Pacific theater, it still maintains Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) deployments around the globe.

USMC ROLE IN NATO

Once considered a “second Army”, the USMC has transitioned to a rapidly deployable Special Operations Capable force that augments US Army and US special operations, as well as serving as the premier amphibious assault force for the United States and NATO. The USMC does not have tanks, as they were deemed cumbersome to the Marines mission in the 2020s. The Primary vehicle for the USMC is the ACV-7 Havoc (Marshal), which is amphibious capable and has replaced legacy USMC platforms like the AAV and LAV, but the USMC still maintains self-propelled artillery assets, keeping with the USMCs doctrine of self-sufficient combined arms. The USMC has integrated access to the full range of NATO rotary wing aircrafts, while the F35C serves as the USMC fixed wing aircraft. Overall, the USMC provides a leaner, better integrated, and more efficient fighting force to NATO commanders as an alternative to standard NATO units.

WHY DO THE MARINES HAVE THE SPAR?

The USMC is equipped with the suppressed M27 IAR Rifle (SPAR-16) using the 5.56 NATO round, contradicting NATO 6.5 caseless compatibility. Given that caseless ammunition has a high probability of becoming unusable in amphibious operations, the USMC has been authorized to continue to use the legacy 5.56 ammunition to ensure combat effectiveness. MARSOC has however fully embraced 6.5 capability due to its lightweight nature and compatibility with other NATO units, whom they are primarily deployed to assist.
