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.

34th Commandant’s focus areas

• Achieve victory in the Long War.

• Right – size our Corps to achieve 1:2 deployment to dwell ratio.

• Provide our Nation a naval force that is fully prepared for

employment as a MAGTF across the spectrum of conflict.

• Reset and modernize to ―be most ready when the Nation is least

ready.‖

• Improve quality of life for our Marines and our families.

• Rededicate ourselves to our Core Values and warrior ethos.

• Posture the Marine Corps for the future.6

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.‖

SummaryNation’s Force in Readiness

• Individual Marines are our most potent weapons

• Forward deployed, persistently engaged forces prevent

conflict, mitigate instability and prevail over adversaries

• The Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) as part of a Naval

force provides our Nation’s premier forcible entry force

because of its sustainable power projection capability

• Multicapable MAGTFs and multi-mission platforms

enable rapid and efficient decisive action in the littorals

• More than ever our Nation requires an expeditionary

force in readiness — being expeditionary is an individual

and institutional mindset

KEY to increasing

forward presence and

engagement

2626

A National Capability … a Joint Capability …

• Exploits sea as maneuver space 365 days a year

• Enables Coalition / Joint Forces / Interagency

• Maximizes the effects of forward presence

• Optimized footprint ashore

• Supports the full range of military operations

…With Operational Flexibility

• Close, Assemble, Employ, Sustain, Reconstitute – from the Sea

• Freedom of movement and inherent force protection at sea

• Minimizes the vulnerability of iron mountains ashore

• Able to rapidly transition warfighting capabilities ashore

Joint SeabasingEnables Improved Global Force Laydown

Reservoirs of capability, task organized to support the CCDR―Naval forces can use the sea as both maneuver space and as a secure operating

area — seabasing — to overcome challenges to access.‖

2009 Naval Operations Concept

―Sailors, Marines and Coast

Guardsmen should expect to

be engaged in both preventing

and winning wars‖

Core Competencies

• The Corps conducts persistent forward naval engagement and is always prepared to respond as the Nation’s force in readiness.

2929

• 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.

Strategic Challenges

• Multi-polar world

– Economic volatility

– Energy dependency

– Global Commons accessibility

• Weakened states / Non-state actors

– Regional instability

– Terrorism / piracy

– WMD proliferation

• Transnational threats

– Migration & Illegal immigration

– Drug & human trafficking

– Climate change

– Increased competition for resources30

Expeditionary Force in Readiness MAGTF: A Modular Force

• Expeditionary equals:

– Combined arms

– Light enough to get there

– Self-sustaining

– Strong enough to prevail

– Strategically mobile

– Integrated Naval logistics

• Expeditionary ethos has a

training basis; example is The

Basic School (TBS):

– Six months of basic infantry

platoon leader training

– For ALL officers regardless of

Military Occupational Specialty

Capstone Operational Concept

• Focused on:– Expeditionary ethos:

• Fast, Austere, Lethal

– Defeating Hybrid threats and challenges

– Enhancing the MAGTF’s flexibility, agility, and adaptability for maneuver warfare

– Enabling Marines to think faster – decide faster - act decisively

– Increase the ability of the rifle company to conduct the full range of missions

• Describes four operational imperatives necessary to win:– Seabasing

– Persistent forward presence and engagement

– Agile and adaptable forces

– Multicapable across the range of military ops

strategy and overarching naval

concept to service-specific

The DoD force planning metric for Reserve

Force mobilization is 1 year of mobilization

with 5 years of demobilization before the

next mobilization (1:5 mobilized-to-

demobilized ratio).

The current USMCR reality is that this

mobilization ratio is closer to 1:4 with the

Marine Corps working to move towards the

directed 1:5.
