原文：

Gen. Berger's planning guidance has come under scrutiny by some for putting so much emphasis on China. But Lt. Gen. Brian Beaudreault said that, while the planning guidance has a Pacific focus, it's not a ＇Pacific-only＇ strategy.

After decades of land warfare and crisis-response missions, the Marine Corps is moving back toward its naval roots. If war breaks out in Europe, Beaudreault said, there's ＇very much a maritime component to that.＇

The Marines can set up expeditionary advanced bases, assist in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) by establishing refueling sites for maritime patrol aircraft, boost ships' unmanned sensing capabilities, and carry out long-range precision fires from ashore, he stressed.

中譯：

柏格上將的計畫作為指導，看在某些人的眼中，認為太過著重於中共方面。不過，博卓特中將則認為，該計畫作為指導雖側重於太平洋方面，惟整體戰略卻不限於太平洋地區。

在歷經數十年的地面作戰及危機應處任務後，美國陸戰隊刻正回歸其海軍本質。博卓特認為，倘歐洲爆發戰爭的話，則海上作戰的配比會相當吃重。

他並強調，陸戰隊可開設遠征前進基地，設立油料補充站供海上巡邏機運用，以協力反潛作戰，提升艦艇的無人感測能力，並從岸上實施長程精準飛彈打擊。
