Marine Forces Reserve’s Post

Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 8-10, Information in Marine Corps Operations, builds on the doctrinal foundation established in Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication 8, Information. Rapidly evolving technologies have changed the character of warfare and expanded the ability of Marines to create and exploit information advantages. Understanding this evolution and its link to enabling Marines to out-think, out-compete and out-fight our adversaries underpins the Marine Corps’ ability to win the fight for information in support of the joint force. To this end, the MCWP 8-10 supports integrating the information warfighting function in all operations to make the Marine Corps a more lethal, capable and ready force.

Reflecting on the Marine Corps' journey in the information environment reveals remarkable progress, yet the rapid pace of technological evolution demands a proactive approach. To stay ahead, it's imperative for the Marine Corps to collaborate with specialized technology companies, leveraging their expertise and cutting-edge solutions. Embracing strategic partnerships will ensure the Marine Corps remains agile and equipped to navigate the ever-changing landscape of modern warfare.

The United States Marine Corps Program Executive Officer (PEO) Land Systems is on a mission to ensure that Marines receive cutting-edge ground weapons and equipment swiftly. To achieve this, they’ve just unveiled their Strategic Plan for fiscal years 2024 through 2025. Key Highlights: - Streamlining Processes: PEO LS aims to simplify acquisition processes, making them more efficient. - Building People and Teams: The plan emphasizes fostering an innovative culture, sharing knowledge, and learning from best practices. - Learning, Sharing, and Collaborating: Collaboration is at the heart of success. PEO LS encourages engagement from the start. - Effective Resource Focus: The plan ensures resources are directed toward accelerating capability delivery. Why It Matters: PEO LS recognizes that culture is foundational to program success. As the saying goes, “culture eats strategy for breakfast.” This strategic plan aligns with an upcoming reorganization where PEO LS will oversee existing Marine Corps Systems Command programs. Let’s empower our Marines with the tools they need to dominate the battlefield! #MarineCorps #StrategicPlanning #Innovation #MilitaryModernization

Three straightforward recommendations to apply lessons learned so far from the troubled Frigate program that we should have learned from previous Navy and Coast Guard programs already.

provocative article by Professor James Holmes of the US Navy War College. This quote from the article gets deterrence so right: "deterrence [is] .... the product of our military capability, our willpower to use it, and the degree to which the opponent we aspire to deter believes in our capability and willpower... [it] is the product of multiplying—not adding—the three constituent factors. If any one factor in a multiple is zero, deterrence is zero. Algebra says so...." This is, in a nutshell, is the problem of the US Navy Shipbuilding program: nobody, including the PRC, believes it.

Most grateful for the superb service of my friend, Lieutenant General Dave Bellon, USMCR. He is a leader of uncommon wisdom, and wit, who has never led from the lapel, but by virtue of his character, mind, and example.His holistic thinking/doing—which is too rare these days—holds true to our battalion motto from 33 years ago: “Ready for all, yielding to none.” There are examples from his tenure that other elements of national power (e.g., diplomacy) should consider. From the article: “A: For most of the time in the Reserve we thought very traditionally, say a reservist was a master mechanic as a civilian then that Marine should be in the motor pool. But what we learned was many of our reservists had developed mastery in other fields, particularly emerging fields. So, we developed the concept of the Marine Innovation Unit, which uses reservists with emerging or difficult-to-find skills such as cyber, automation, machine learning to address Marine Corps problems working with the Marine Warfighting Lab.” https://lnkd.in/e7Wy6jxR
