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

• rganic 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.

Marine Operating Concept (MOC)

How an Expeditionary Force Operates in the 21st Century Maneuver Warfare in Every Dimension; Combined Arms in All Domains 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

• f the need to maintain a proper balance between them.

Agile Lethal Expeditionary Naval

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.

The 21st 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

• 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

Therefore we must develop the means to…

1 9

Marine Corps Force 2025 Year-long, collaborative, multi-phased effort to build a balanced MAGTF optimized for the future through extensive wargaming, experimentation and rigorous analysis

Things We Must Do… for the 2025 Force

• Fix HD / LD in the MEF’s
• Develop Information Warfare capabilities in the MEF’s
• Develop robust engineer capability in the MEF’s
• Develop highly capable tactical units with leaders who are

empowered and enabled to fight in complex terrain

• Leverage Manned / unmanned teaming
• Develop air & missile defense
• Enhance expeditionary logistics to enable the MAGTF that can

control tempo and outpace an adversary when required

MAGTF configured to fight and win even as it fluidly disperses and concentrates elements – because maneuver warfare and combined arms create MAGTF combat power.

UNCLASSIFIED

Marine Corps Force 2025

• With approved NDAA investment (185K), we will:
• Increase IW capability and capacity
• Increase capacity and modernization in indirect fires and anti-armor
• Increase long range precision fires capacity
• Increase Air Defense capacity with critical modernization efforts.
• Buy back Close Air Support, Strike Coordination and Armed Reconnaissance, Airborne ISR, and

Forward Air Controller Airborne capacity

With this end-strength increase and a focus on modernization, we can compete and win in selected environments for limited duration.

• Remaining Challenges:
• Need to further develop IW capacity
• Need to develop counter UAS and missile defense capability
• Need to develop anti-ship capability
• Need to further develop tactical logistics capacity
• Training associated with less than 1:3 deployment to dwell ratio (Full-spectrum)

21

Nation’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

22

“…a versatile expeditionary force in readiness…” 82nd Congress, 1952

Back Ups

Core Competencies

• The Corps conducts persistent forward naval engagement and is

always prepared to respond as the Nation’s force in readiness.

24

• 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 resources
