The Air Force metaphor has me thinking that the best POD is having the ship’s captains insist on keeping their Marines in 1909, but the Marines still try to develop advanced operation tactics with more limited resources. The Army Coast Artillery keeps the defense battalion mission but the Marines are limited to company-size landing forces intended for raids and possibly as serving as pathfinders for Amphibious operations at the dawn of WWII.
Maybe the Marines form something like the British Commandos for maritime raiding instead of the Army?
