YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Marine Corps is replacing the AV-8B Harrier and F/A-18 Hornet with the F-35B and F-35C, but this is about more than a new fighter jet. The F-35 is changing Marine Corps aviation, close air support, expeditionary warfare, tactical air power, and how Marines operate in a future war against advanced air defenses. In this video, we break down Marine F-35 strategy, F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing operations, F-35C carrier operations, readiness problems, logistics challenges, austere basing, sensor fusion, data sharing, and what all of this means for the future of Marine air power.
