Perspective• Times change

– “Old” Corps (80s-90s): ‘slow’ optempo• No combat experience, single threat• No cell phones, no Internet• Old gear, lots of maintenance, lots of inspections

– “Post 9/11” Corps: ‘intense’ optempo • Incredible combat experience, many threats• Increasingly “connected”• Unlimited resources, less oversight

– “New” Corps (Post-OIF/OEF): ???• Amphib Ops, Focus on PACOM: TSC• Reduced resources• “New normal??”
