- Description:
- Senator Dewey F Bartlett is proposing an amendment to the law to make the Commandant of the Marine Corps a permanent member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reflecting current practice where the Commandant participates in nearly every decision made by the Joint Chiefs. The Senator argues that the Commandant's participation is necessary due to the Marine Corps' unique role and expertise in amphibious warfare. The amendment aims to remove outdated legal distinctions and administrative processes, making the Commandant's participation in the Joint Chiefs more streamlined. The Senator believes that the Commandant's exclusion from the Joint Chiefs is unnecessary, and the proposed amendment has received positive endorsements.
