I'm going to stop before I go full derail rant on everyone here, but the idea that the marines are going to remove their tank forces is basically people plugging their ears and yelling at the top of their lungs at the technological context that is current and evolving. It is that sort of...

No, the best time to attack a naval landing is during the period of time that a beachhead is being established, as history has shown us. You'll need tanks then and there because if the enemy is halfway competent, then he'll send his troops to stop that beachhead at all costs. That would require...

Not really, given the circumstances. ATGMs are becoming more and more useless as an anti-tank (let alone antivehicle) weapon with the proliferation of ADS (both soft- and hard-kill systems) and newer ERA and composite armor systems. So the only real challenger for a counterattack for a beachhead...
