Marine Operating Concept (MOC) How an Expeditionary Force Operates in the 21 st Century Describes in broad terms how the Marine Corps will operate, fight, and win in 2025 and beyond; and shapes our actions as we design and develop the capabilities and capacity of the future force. Expeditionary Naval A Marine Corps that solves the problem statement will have four cornerstone characteristics . We must retain and strengthen these traditional qualities of our Service, mindful of the need to maintain a proper balance between them. Agile Lethal The 21 st century MAGTF: • Maneuver warfare in the physical and cognitive dimensions through Information Warfare • Combined arms approach that enables the Marine at the tactical edge to confront the enemy with rapidly-shifting dilemmas through multi-functional, trans-domain capabilities • Avoids linear, sequential, and phased approaches to operations • Operates and fights at sea, from the sea, and ashore Maneuver Warfare in Every Dimension; Combined Arms in All Domains 18
Therefore we must develop the means to… • Protect our network/C2 and prepare for technology denied environments • Develop highly capable tactical units with leaders who are empowered and enabled to fight in complex terrain • Use IW in combined arms to ensure an offensive advantage • Regain a fires advantage • Enhance maneuver: “sense -make sense- act” to outpace adversaries • Leverage Manned / Unmanned Teaming • Develop expeditionary air & missile defense • Enhance logistics systems to support a tempo that outpaces adversaries • Enhance our littoral warfare capabilities Year-long, collaborative, multi-phased effort to build a balanced Marine Corps MAGTF optimized for the future through extensive wargaming, Force 2025 experimentation and rigorous analysis 1 9
