Why Does this Matter to the USMC The Marine Corps has a defined role in the national security strategy codified by title 10 This was not always the case however dating back to WWI and WWII prior to the National Security Act of 1947 - We live in a multi-dimensional, fluid threat environment - Someone has to be ready when the nation is least ready - Someone has to win- and the bad guys need to understand that there will be consequences just a much as the good guys need to know they have a friend in the world TITLE 10, Subtitle C, PART I, CHAPTER 507, § 5063
Title 10 Responsibilities The Marine Corps … shall be organized to include not less than three combat divisions and three air wings , and such other land combat, aviation, and other services as may be organic therein. The Marine Corps shall be organized, trained, and equipped to provide fleet marine forces of combined arms , together with supporting air components, for service with the fleet in the seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such land operations as may be essential to the prosecution of a naval campaign. In addition, the Marine Corps shall provide detachments and organizations for service on armed vessels of the Navy , shall provide security detachments for the protection of naval property at naval stations and bases, and shall perform such other duties as the President may direct . However, these additional duties may not detract from or interfere with the operations for which the Marine Corps is primarily organized. The Marine Corps shall develop , in coordination with the Army and the Air Force, those phases of amphibious operations that pertain to the tactics, technique, and equipment used by landing forces. The Marine Corps is responsible, in accordance with integrated joint mobilization plans, for the expansion of peacetime components of the Marine Corps to meet the needs of war . 7 TITLE 10, Subtitle C, PART I, CHAPTER 507, § 5063
USMC Vision Statement The Marine Corps of 2025 will fight and win our Nation’s battles with multicapable MAGTFs , either from the sea or in sustained operations ashore. Our unique role as the Nation’s force in readiness , along with our values, enduring ethos, and core competencies, will ensure we remain highly responsive to the needs of combatant commanders in an uncertain environment and against irregular threats. Our future Corps will be increasingly reliant on naval deployment, preventative in approach, leaner in equipment, versatile in capabilities, and innovative in mindset . In an evolving and complex world, we will excel as the Nation’s expeditionary “force of choice.” 8
Core Competencies • The Corps conducts persistent forward naval engagement and is always prepared to respond as the Nation’s force in readiness . • The Corps employs integrated combined arms across the range of military operations, and can operate as part of a joint or multinational force. • The Corps provides forces and specialized detachments for service aboard naval ships , on stations, and for operations ashore. • The Corps conducts joint forcible entry operations from the sea and develops amphibious landing force capabilities and doctrine. • The Corps conducts complex expeditionary operations in the urban littorals and other challenging environments. • The Corps leads joint / multinational operations and enables interagency activities . 9
Strategy Objectives for 2025 • • Focus on the Individual Marine Ensure Amphibious Force Levels Meet Strategic Requirements • Improve Training and Education • for Fog, Friction, and Uncertainty Create Joint Seabasing Capabilities • Expand Persistent Forward • Presence and Engagement Lead Joint/ Multinational Operations and Enable • Posture for Hybrid Threats in Interagency Activities Complex Environments • Maintain A Ready and Sustainable • Reinforce Naval Relationships Reserve • Build and Deploy Multicapable MAGTFs Strengthening the MAGTF for employment across the spectrum of conflict 10
Capstone Operational Concept • Focused on: – Guiding collective effort to ensure and maintain readiness and relevancy – Shape actions as we design and develop capabilities and capacity of the future force • Describes four operational imperatives necessary to win: – A naval force – A lethal force – Agile and adaptable forces – A winning force Known as the MOC it is the Commandant’s guidance to leverage the full capabilities of the MEF to support Naval maneuver and Combined/joint Operations, reinvigorate our emphasis on maneuver warfare, and integrate information warfare into our combined arms approach. The MOC will drive capability and capacity decisions to produce the future force. 11 11
