Sounds nice, even better inside the Beltway and in reality a poor choice.

From my armchair.

This action is already being done and has already been done on a not so coherent basis at least since 2000.

To get a good Idea of how it would look you have to look at Deployments like Unitas, WATC, & LF CARAT.

In these deployments a composite MAGTF Detachment of Marines based around an Inf Comp. deploys to multiple countries conducting various operations from Bi & Multi-Lateral training to Civil Projects and Security Contingency Ops.

I think many ppl are over complicating the deployment.

Its a very simple deployment that Marines are very accustomed to. Just now part of a more cohesive & coherent Strategy.
