	Six Marine Corps Divisions
		The US Marine Corps is organized into three active-duty combat divisions because that is the minimum prescribed by the 1947 National Security Act; as amended by Title 10 in 1952.
		Artillery regiments with three battalions each will be tailored to support their light amphibious or heavier expeditionary divisions.
		It will be far more understandable for Congress, the media, and Marines themselves to state the Corps needs enough ships to embark an amphibious division each coast and to maintain two divisions ready to fly off and link up with equipment and supplies maintained on ships overseas.
