@Leg & ArmySGT.- You both make good points about Marine logistics units being freed up for use as combat infantry replacements by USN personnel taking over their support roles. I guess a good number of my TF Inchon infantry Marines will be ex-pencil pushers, cooks, drivers, etc.
My guess is that these folks would receive some kind of in-theatre refresher training. I'm trying to figure out what this would look like.

Maybe after the PACT counteroffensive (if the siege lasts for more than a few days), but the "fresh" TF Inchon as I've envisioned is a reinforced Marine infantry battalion (rather understrength by pre-war standards) tasked with both seizing the Elblag canal bridges for the 8th ID and holding the left flank of 2 MarDiv.
