The USMC runs at about 85% T/O during (nominal) "Peacetime," then during times of conflict we bump to 100% using reserves. So essentially we run short-handed during "normal" operations and surge to what we're supposed to have.

Between work-up cycles, (low tempo) we'll send folks to other areas and supplement them. It's like juggling a skeleton crew around.

I once heard MG Brooks (now GEN) say that we don't need to do more with less rather do different with less.

The mission is the mission. How we go about it now versus how we did it 1, 2 or 10 years ago is what is important.
