The Parthian Defense: Leveraging Fires Technology
In this article published in the February 2018 Issue of the Marine Corps Gazette (pages 64-68), Tip Myers, a Partner at Marque Ventures, highlights the pressing need for innovative solutions to address the absence of organic anti-armor capabilities within Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs). The article, titled "The Parthian Defense: Leveraging existing and evolutionary fires technology to enable expeditionary infantry to block armor," underscores the necessity of considering various factors to establish a strong defense against armored threats.
Tip's discussion revolves around integrating new technologies and tactics into MEUs to counter armored adversaries effectively. It's worth noting that the technologies and strategies proposed in the article are not excessively intricate; many of them are already in existence or in advanced stages of development. With proper training and reorganization, MEUs can swiftly and efficiently deploy these anti-armor capabilities to enhance their readiness and effectiveness.
