"The capabilities that we think we're going to need are a force that's able to operate much more distributed, much more spread out than perhaps we're accustomed to in the past, using a different set of technologies than we had five or 10 or 15 years ago," he said. According to the new plan, the aim is to grow a corps that is "more intelligent, physically fit, cognitively mature, and experienced." To compete in an age of cyber warfare and space-based weaponry, the Marines wants to shake its "manpower" model that historically prized youth, physical fitness and discipline over education, training and technical skills. National Security Marines Gear Up For Women In Combat, But Will They Sign Up? About 75% of troops leave the Marine Corps at the end of their four-year term, the highest turnover rate among the military services. His new plan, titled Talent Management 2030, outlines measures the Corps will implement to boost recruitment and improve career flexibility. We didn't come from the same backgrounds."

We are better than anybody else, primarily because we don't all think exactly alike. "Our advantage militarily is on top of our shoulders," he said. The core of America's strength lies in its diversity, Berger said, adding that the same is true for the military. It's not a matter of being politically correct or "woke," he said. David Berger, commandant of the Marine Corps, said in an interview with NPR's Morning Edition. The goal that's driving what amounts to a cultural shift within the service, is for the Marines "to reflect America, to reflect the society we come from," Gen. military force, has plans for a big overhaul designed to address its lack of diversity and problem with retaining troops.

David Berger, pictured in 2019, says that the goal behind the service's new changes is to develop a corps that reflects America.
