The Marine Corps‘ top general expressed serious regrets over the fact that Marines were not available to help in two major crises in recent months because of a lack of available Navy ships to position units in nearby waters.
“Places like Turkey or, the last couple of weeks, in Sudan — I feel like I let down the combatant commander,” Commandant Gen. David Berger told members of the House Armed Services Committee on Friday.
