This is a great idea! Being able to put Marines anywhere on the planet in 2 hours has enormous upside. For one, we could put Marines anywhere on the planet in 2 hours. Another is that the current need and subsequent cost of having forward deployed Special Forces can be cut back including all of the support troops required to support SpecOps. Just the reduction in deployment time to our troops alone would be a major benefit of this project. This would make the Corps the ultimate in fast reaction forces. If future POTUS’ have the will power to send the Devil Dogs in this fast, it has to give pause to evil doers, knowing that justice is swifter than ever.
