The Maritime Global Commons

• 75% of people live w/in 200mi
• f a coast
• 70% of world is water
• 95% of international

communications travels via underwater cables

• 23,000 ships are underway daily

carrying 90% of the world’s international commerce

• 49% of the world’s oil travels

through 6 major chokepoints

• 25% of the world’s oil and gas is

drilled at sea

Why Does this Matter to the USMC

TITLE 10, Subtitle C, PART I, CHAPTER 507, § 5063

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

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

• perations 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.

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.”

Core Competencies

• The Corps conducts persistent forward naval engagement and is

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

9

• 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.

Strategy Objectives for 2025

• Focus on the Individual Marine
• Improve Training and Education

for Fog, Friction, and Uncertainty

• Expand Persistent Forward

Presence and Engagement

• Posture for Hybrid Threats in

Complex Environments

• Reinforce Naval Relationships
• Ensure Amphibious Force Levels

Meet Strategic Requirements

• Create Joint Seabasing

Capabilities

• Lead Joint/ Multinational

Operations and Enable Interagency Activities

• Maintain A Ready and Sustainable

Reserve

• Build and Deploy Multicapable

MAGTFs

Strengthening the MAGTF for employment across the spectrum of conflict

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.

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 (MOS)

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 Seabasing

Enables Improved Global Force Laydown

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
