If you’re part of the U.S. Marine Corps and you need to design a new, tough to track boat, you might be tempted to turn to heavy-hitting scientists and engineers to develop the vessels you need to move weapons in contested waters. Or, you could take inspiration from the people who are already building those hard-to-find boats: drug runners.

Wednesday saw Lt. Gen. Karsten Heckl share some key information at the Defense News Conference in Arlington, VA. The Marines have been trying to find a way to move weapons through contested waters. When it comes to resupplying allies with things like food or spare parts, the Marines can just leave those things in pre-determined locations that the allies can pick up later.
