Lieutenant General Leonard F. Anderson, Commander of US Marine Corps Forces and Marine Corps Forces South, has issued a directive ordering all Marines to maintain maximum readiness for immediate deployment, warning that large-scale mobilization is no longer a theory but a reality.
Lieutenant General Leonard F. Anderson, Commander of US Marine Corps Forces and Marine Corps Forces South, has issued a special directive to his troops, ordering them to maintain maximum readiness to deploy to the battlefield at any moment, considering potential threats to national security amid global developments.
In his written order, the General emphasized that the current moment is critical for national security. He noted that military units are already engaged in operations related to Iran and have been positioned to maintain stability in the Western Hemisphere.
The General posed direct questions to his soldiers, stating that every Marine must responsibly check whether their combat equipment and personal affairs are in order should they receive a call for immediate action.
“Are your skills sharp? Are you maintaining the highest standards? Are your weapons and gear ready for immediate travel? Are your family affairs in order?” he asked.
He further stated that when called to duty, readiness is not a matter of questioning but is determined by the Marine’s own preparation. He warned that the threat of large-scale mobilization is no longer merely theoretical but could become reality, as adversaries may act at any moment.
The Lieutenant General noted that a Marine’s readiness is measured not by their aspirations but by their capabilities at this very moment, and ordered that daily training and discipline be executed to the letter.
