A deployed fleet of F-35s - allied and American - in the Pacific lay down a strong stealth and sensor-enabled honeycomb of deployed kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities. The F-35 has been built to be a fleet, not a single silver bullet. As Lt. General Robert Schmidle, the Marines' deputy commandant for aviation, commented recently, speaking of the flexibility and coverage which F-35Bs can bring to a theater like the Pacific: "I think that we're going to find ourselves in a situation where we, the Marine Corps, are going to be able to offer much more to the joint force in terms of capability... The Air Force Commander will look at USMC or USN F-35s as part of his F-35 fleet from the perspective of the joint fight."
