MarAdmin 468/10 orders that all Marines begin recieving cultural training for 1 of 17 specific world regions for the duration of their career. This isn't special training or FID units, this is Marine Corps wide.
While it's not a bad idea to try and broaden the minds of young troops, I hope the Corps doesn't start trying to claim that it's line infantry battalions are "Special Forces Operations Capable." The indoctrination in the Marines does lead to our dogma that anything a Soldier does a Marine can do better, and that is dangerous thinking.
