Leathernecks In Lab Coats Talking about Defense Leathernecks In Lab Coats By George C. Wilson QUANTICO, Va. -- The sort of chaos that is ripping apart East Timor right now stands as the biggest challenge to the American military in the 21st century. Groping for solutions in this fog of half-war, half-peace, which grips not only Indonesia but much of the world, is Col. Gary W. Anderson, a 51-year-old Marine who is chief of staff of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory here. Anderson is not the typical bunker-charging, poster-boy Marine. An internationally known authority on new kinds of warfare, Anderson more resembles a militarized Thomas Edison, an experimenter in the science of war.
