Kinda like we did in WW2.... not much need for arty when the island is 665 acres....

The arty theyre going with is naval gun support, tomahawks and rockets... 155's are going away. Theyre assuming all future conflicts that the USMC will be involved in will be small islands. That takes them out of certain theaters...oh i dunno... like the middle east? Naval gunfire and rockets are fine and dandy, but relying on tomahawks is an expensive deal.
As for the tanks, you sacrifice crew protection deploying lavs only. Id be pissed if I was a crayon eater right now.
