This unit will be the next to field the Corps’ ship-killing missile

The Marines are slated to receive the first batches of four dozen mobile fires and missile platforms key to the Corps’ plans to fight dispersed across multiple islands alongside the Navy.

Between now and March 2026, the Corps will receive batches of its new Navy-Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System, or NMESIS, which includes a Naval Strike Missile mounted on a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle platform with semi-autonomous and autonomous capabilities to launch remotely.
