The intent is to describe how we can prepare effectively for future action when the future is uncertain and unpredictable. In so doing, this publication provides all Marines a conceptual framework for planning in peace, in crisis, or in war. This approach to planning is based on our common understanding of the nature of war and on our warfighting philosophy of maneuver warfare as described in Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 1, Warfighting. Our doctrine for planning establishes planning as an essential component of the broader field of command and control. The object of both is to recognize what needs to be done in any given situation and see to it that appropriate actions are taken. This publication should be read in conjunction with MCDP 6, Command and Control. The concepts described therein also generally apply to planning. The approach to planning presented herein applies across the full spectrum of military actions, ranging from humanitarian assistance on one extreme to war on the other. It applies also to planning for institutional activities such as acquisition, education, and manning. However, the focus here is on operation planning, especially at the tactical level. As used in this publication, the term "planner" refers not only to members of a designated planning staff but to any person involved in laying out actions in advance. This includes commanders. One of the themes of this publication is that planning is a fundamental responsibility of command. Commanders must be centrally involved in planning. This publication establishes the authority for the subsequent development of planning doctrine, education, training, procedures, and organization. It provides no specific techniques or procedures for planning; rather, it provides broad guidance, that requires judgment in application. Other publications in the planning series will address specific techniques and procedures for various planning activities.

Book excerpt: Marine Corps Warfare Publication MCWP 5-10 (Formerly MCWP 5-1) Marine Corps Planning Process 2 May 2016 Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 5-1, Marine Corps Planning Process, was first published in January 2000. Since that time, the planning process has been used by Marine Corps forces at all echelons of command to conduct a range of military operations. The planning associated with these diverse operations has demonstrated the fundamental soundness of the process. Practical application has also revealed that portions of the planning process and MCWP 5-1 require clarification or elaboration to enhance comprehension and utility. Among these, design has emerged as a term requiring further emphasis. A fundamental responsibility of command, design is present not only in planning, but also throughout the planning-execution-assessment continuum. This publication emphasizes the importance of understanding the problem, the environment, the enemy, and the purpose of an operation. This awareness is fundamental to the first step in planning--formerly named mission analysis--and has, accordingly, been renamed problem framing to better convey its purpose and importance. Moreover, the publication includes a discussion of battlespace, centers of gravity, commander's intent, and commander's critical information requirements as part of design, versus its former heading of commander's battlespace area evaluation.

This book was released on 2020-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This United States Marine Corps manual, Marine Corps Warfighting Publication MCWP 5-10 Marine Corps Planning Process August 2020, was first published in January 2000 as MCWP 5-1. Since that time, Marine Corps forces at all echelons of command have used the Marine Corps Planning Process (MCPP) to conduct the range of military operations. The use of design over the last decade suggests that design is more than conceptual planning which establishes aims, objectives, and intentions. A more critical role of design is to promote understanding of the current situation as a basis for broad solutions. While design establishes the nature of the problem, the inclusion of a design methodology in this revision aids commanders, staffs, and planners in determining the problem set and a framework for solving them. The publication's design methodology reflects a belief that sufficient complexity can exist at all levels of warfare and across the conflict continuum to include tactical situations that will require an understanding of the set of problems that hinder movement from the current state to the desired state of an operational environment. Among all critical factors bearing on military operations, time is defining. The MCPP helps Marines win the time fight through a promotion of intuitive understanding, commander's intent, and the use of task and purpose when operating inside an established paradigm. Another time aid is the center of gravity techniques used to determine which of the actions that address a problemset will be decisive. These visions of decisiveness inform the convergence of combat powerthrough main and supporting efforts and resource priorities. The publication focuses primarily on commanders with staffs; however, any Marine required to plan operations should know the planning process well enough to determine the problem, envision a desired state, and develop options for achieving that state. This publication supersedes MCWP 5-10, Marine Corps Planning Process, dated 24 August 2010. MCWP 5-10 implements North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 2014, NATO Formats for Orders and Designation of Timing, Locations, and Boundaries.

Book excerpt: MCDP 1 WARFIGHTING Since Fleet Marine Force Manual 1, Warfighting, was first published in 1989, it has had a significant impact both inside and outside the Marine Corps. That manual has changed the way Marines think about warfare. It has caused energetic debate and has been translated into several foreign languages, issued by foreign militaries, and published commercially. It has strongly influenced the development of doctrine by our sister Services. Our current naval doctrine is based on the tenets of maneuver warfare as described in that publication. Current and emerging concepts such as operational maneuver from the sea derive their doctrinal foundation from the philosophy contained in Warfighting. Our philosophy of warfighting, as described in the manual, is in consonance with joint doctrine, contributing to our ability to operate harmoniously with the other Services.

MCDP 2 INTELLIGENCE Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 2, Intelligence, describes the theory and philosophy of intelligence as practiced by the United States Marine Corps. It provides Marines a conceptual framework for understanding and conducting effective intelligence activities. The Marine Corps' view of intelligence is based on our common understanding of the nature of war and on our warfighting philosophy as described in MCDP 1, Warfighting. MCDP 3 EXPEDITIONARY OPERATIONS Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 3, Expeditionary Operations, establishes doctrine for the conduct of military operations by the U.S. Marine Corps. It describes the Marine Corps as an expeditionary force-in-readiness that is manned, trained, and equipped specifically to respond quickly to a broad variety of crises and conflicts across the full range of military operations anywhere in the world. It emphasizes the naval character of Marine Corps forces. This naval expeditionary character provides capabilities both to forward deploy forces near the scene of potential crises as well as to deploy sustainable, combined arms teams rapidly by sea and air. With reduced overseas presence in terms of force levels and bases, these capabilities have become essential elements of our national military strategy. This publication also underscores the value of Marine Corps forces as a highly cost-effective option in a wide range of situations, including crises requiring forcible entry. Importantly, this publication establishes versatility and adaptability as critical capabilities in a broad range of circumstances for expeditionary forces in an uncertain world. Finally, this publication describes the Marine Corps' key expeditionary concepts.

This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navy Warfare Publication NWP 5-01 Navy Planning Dec 2013 This publication is in essence about the concepts of decisionmaking, and it provides the basic process for planning Navy operations. The principles contained within can be applied by any echelon-on a ship, in a strike group, or in a task force. The process can be applied by a commander facing a conventional threat such as another nation's navy or in a conflict dominated by asymmetric tactics and an unconventional adversary. Moreover, the principles contained within are applicable to a variety of other evolutions, some not necessarily operational in nature, in which a commander may be involved. Though this publication likely will find its greatest utility with a Navy component commander (NCC), Navy numbered fleet commander (NFC), or a joint force maritime component commander (JFMCC), it will refer to Navy organizations in general, regardless of level of command. Furthermore, the Navy planning process (NPP) is compatible with joint planning guidelines and procedures of JP 5-0, Joint Operation Planning as well as the United States Marine Corps' planning process (MCPP) as reflected in MCWP 5-1, Marine Corps Planning Process. This publication alerts the reader when the NPP deviates from either of these two planning processes. Thus, Navy commands following the process can effectively integrate into and operate as part of a joint force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is about winning in combat. Winning requires many things: excellence in techniques, an appreciation of the enemy, exemplary leadership, battlefield judgment, and focused combat power. Yet these factors by themselves do not ensure success in battle. Many armies, both winners and losers, have possessed many or all of these attributes. When we examine closely the differences between victor and vanquished, we draw one conclusion. Success went to the armies whose leaders, senior and junior, could best focus their efforts-their skills and their resources-toward a decisive end. Their success arose not merely from excellence in techniques, procedures, and material but from their leaders' abilities to uniquely and effectively combine them. Winning in combat depends upon tactical leaders who can think creatively and act decisively.

Marine Corps Planning Process also clarifies the distinction between intent and guidance. Intent describes the purpose of the action being directed and an idea of its end state. The intent promotes subordinate initiative that is consistent with the higher commander's aims when the task assigned is no longer appropriate for the situation. Constructs, such as "method," are forms of guidance that may be transitory.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marine Corps Warfighting Publication 5-1(MCWP 5-1) was published in January 2000 and is the principle planning manual in the Marine Corps. However, the new process is directed at too high of a level to be the principle planning doctrine for the lower level units. Therefore, I have developed two appendices to the MCWP 5-1 to improve the document's relevance to the regimental and battalion level. The two appendices are: 'The Accelerated Marine Corps Planning Process (AMCPP) and Rehearsal Types, Techniques, and Considerations'. The AMCPP is a technique for scaling MCPP to operationally realistic time constraints. However, it is not just doing MCPP fast. The AMCPP hinges on the commander, with the advice of his staff, making a decision very early in the process, then improving the decision with the remainder of the process. The end result is a solid and flexible plan that can be executed rapidly. At the regimental and battalion level, rehearsals are the key to achieving an implicit understanding of the plan and improving the probability for success. However, this portion of the planning process is often squandered due to poor rehearsal technique, or failure to target the rehearsal to the appropriate audience. Therefore, this appendix offers several rehearsal techniques and planning considerations that if adopted will enhance the doctrinal instructions in this area.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this United States Marine Corps USMC manual, Marine Corps Doctrine Publication 7 Learning February 2020, is to describe the Marine Corps' learning philosophy and explain why learning is critically important to the profession of arms. While many of the concepts in this publication have been passed on by Marine leaders throughout our history, this publication seeks to formalize them and provide aspirational goals. Learning is an institutional priority and a professional expectation for all Marines. Thismentality is key to the Marine Corps becoming a more effective learning organization. The most important factor in this philosophy is the importance of continuous learning throughout our careers for warfighting. Continuous learning is essential to maneuver warfare because it enables Marines to quickly recognize changing conditions in the battlespace, adapt, and make timely decisions against a thinking enemy. These skills required in war must be learned, developed, and honed over time-if neglected, they quickly atrophy. Marines leverage the art and science of learning, technologies, and learning environments that reflect the changing operational environment to tailor learning and provide each other with constructive feedback. Leaders hold Marines to high professional standards of performance, conduct, and discipline-to include learning. As Marines rise in rank and position, continuous learning and developing our professional skills are a professional expectation. We must make the most of every learning opportunity, fostering our subordinates' learning while continuing our own. Continuous learning is important to Marines because of the fundamental nature of war and its ever-changing character. The nature of war carries a combination of fear, uncertainty, ambiguity, chance, horror and, above all, friction that Marines must prepare to counter. Marines must seek out education andtraining opportunities that simulate these conditions. We must train how we fight. As Marines, we must understand how important learning is and be committed to the principles laid out in this publication. Our professional responsibility-as Marines- is to engage in continuous learning so that we may best support our fellow Marines, our Corps, and our Nation.
