Bomber, the designation would more likely be AV-8D, if that option were chosen.
Note: In the next 3 years, you won't see an increase in the number of pilots, nor aircraft, in the USMC inventory. Why adding two squadrons to current authorized force levels is envisioned by any of you puzzles me.
America may not be gutting our forces at the rate the UK has been of late, but the next five years of retraction in size will proceed apace, because the political will to maintain the current size of the force quite simply isn't there. The Marines will be winners if they are able to maintain force levels at current size, since the other three services are programmed to shrink a bit. The question is: how much?
