"The Marine Corps' First Reorganization"

The Marine Corps' First Reorganization, initiated in 1900, aimed to modernize and streamline its structure following several conflicts. It focused on creating more agile, disciplined units, establishing specialized schools for officer training, and adopting new tactics and equipment to enhance combat effectiveness. This restructuring helped the Marine Corps transition from traditional shipboard Marines to a versatile force capable of rapid deployment and independent operations, laying the foundation for its modern role as a specialized amphibious force.
