What do the current grunts think about this type of thing?

From way over here in comfortville, this seems like a real good idea.

Putting the supply guys outside the wire might serve to keep the supply side more inline with the needs of the dirt side.
It's too easy for logistics to become an exercise of logistics for the sake of logistics and the actual end users become just an annoyance that keeps screwing up inventories and creating backlogs.

Putting a wide spectrum of Marines outside the wire, even if on a more limited role than actual grunts should help serve to keep things in perspective.

I wonder how the ROE might be adjusted if all the legal eagles and their support staffs were formed up into patrols, given the pre-deployment spin up training and then spent a full tour walking the streets in the more hostile places.

I'd bet that there'd be a hella lot less nit picking.
