Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Though the priorities of senior military leaders inevitably change over time, the pressing need for American Service personnel to accommodate the human dimension for success in their ongoing military operations has not diminished. That capability now may be even more important than ever. Almost inevitably, the requirement will reach a critical stage in some future crisis. This book compiles the insights and findings of some of the most determined and resourceful scientists, scholars, and practitioners engaged in the military's culture programs to inculcate the new capabilities in the early twenty-first century. The authors do not gloss over failures and dead ends. Rather, their expectation is that by presenting the bad with the good, they can help future generations engaged in the same task avoid their pitfalls and build on their work. More importantly, the authors hope that their writing might reach those who are still engaged in building cultural capabilities and that they will find encouragement to continue this essential work"--

Download or read book First to Fight written by V H Krulak and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 1999-02-22 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this riveting insider's chronicle, legendary Marine General "Brute" Krulak submits an unprecedented examination of U.S. Marines—their fights on the battlefield and off, their extraordinary esprit de corps. Deftly blending history with autobiography, action with analysis, and separating fact from fable, General Krulak touches the very essence of the Corps: what it means to be a Marine and the reason behind its consistently outstanding performance and reputation. Krulak also addresses the most basic but challenging question of all about the Corps: how does it manage to survive—even to flourish—despite overwhelming political odds and, as the general writes, ""an extraordinary propensity for shooting itself in the foot?"" To answer this question Krulak examines the foundation on which the Corps is built, a system of intense loyalty to God, to country, and to other Marines. He also takes a close look at Marines in war, offering challenging accounts of their experiences in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. In addition, he describes the Corps's relationship to other services, especially during the unification battles following World War II, and offers new insights into the decision-making process in times of crisis. First published in hardcover in 1984, this book has remained popular ever since with Marines of every rank.

America's Marines provide a large range of capabilities for the modest investment of our nation's scarce resources. In the most recent months and years, in locations all over the globe -Pakistan, Haiti, the Caribbean, the U.S. Gulf Coast, South America, the Gulf of Aden, the Philippines, and Afghanistan - Marine Corps forces were either engaging with our allies, conducting full spectrum counter-insurgency operations, enabling the Joint Force and Interagency Non-governmental Agency elements, providing humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, deterring aggression or contributing to assured access. Today's Marine Corps is a "middleweight force." We fill the void in our nation's defense for an agile force that is comfortable operating at the high and low ends of the threat spectrum or the more likely ambiguous areas in between. We will continue to support our national objectives in Afghanistan. Concurrently, we will modernize, reset and reconstitute our equipment in order to provide a balanced air-ground-logistics team that is forward deployed and forward engaged; shaping, training, deterring and responding to a wide variety of global crises and contingencies. This is a privately authored news service and educational publication of Progressive Management.

Download or read book U S Marine Corps Concepts and Programs written by U.S. Marine Corps and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-14 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We offer this 2009 edition of Concepts and Programs as a current picture of the state of the Marine Corps. It reviews our current exercises and deployments and describes how we fight- our operating concepts and the organization of our forces. It contains our vision of the future and the strategic direction of the Marine Corps. It reflects current information on our programs of record and our major end item equipment. Finally, it includes our annual almanac, which contains a digest of facts and figures on our personnel and budget. We pride ourselves on being good stewards of the resources provided by Congress. That starts with taking care of Marines and their families-our number one priority. We offer the Nation's sons and daughters the opportunity to serve a cause greater than themselves. In the crucible of war, their performance has been magnificent. They have added new pages to the illustrious battle history of our Corps. Innovation and fiscal responsibility are hallmarks of the Corps. In our ground and aviation programs, we continue to test, develop, and pursue the procurement of dual-use equipment. We look for new ways to employ emerging technology. Our recent publication of Marine Corps Vision and Strategy 2025 describes a balanced, multicapable expeditionary force. To Marines, expeditionary means fast, austere, and lethal - with an emphasis on austere. We must be able to get out the door fast, deploy where there is no infrastructure, and operate with lethality. Our statutory responsibility is to be an air-ground force in readiness, capable of operating across the full range of military operations. Change is one thing that is certain about the future. Populations and demo­ graphics in the world will shift, and peer competitors to the United States may rise. Threats to our way of life will remain. Our enemies will adapt their tactics and techniques.

Download or read book U S Marine Corps Concepts and Programs written by U.S. Marine Corps and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we continue to train the Iraqi and Afghan security forces for taking control in their respective countries, and in light of rising economic and energy concerns, the Marine Corps faces a number of challenges in 2010. Our standing pledge to Congress remains to exercise fiscal discipline and act as good stewards of the re­ sources they provide while maintaining the capability to operate across the full range of military operations. As the Nation's premier expeditionary force in readiness, the Marine Corps must remain fast, austere, and lethal. In November 2009, we established the Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office to analyze, develop, and direct ways in which we can gain efficiencies on the battlefield in fuel and water consumption. Our national economy is unstable and institutionally, we also face significant fiscal challenges as we look to reset the Marine Corps from operations in Iraq, support the Presidents strategy in Afghanistan, and modernize our equipment to ensure its availability and capability to meet future requirements. This edition of Concepts and Programs offers a review of our operations in 2009, underscoring how engaged America's Marine Corps has been - not only in Iraq and Afghanistan but around the world, on training exercises and in support of the engagement strategies of our country's combatant commanders. For the Marine Corps in 2010, this volume provides a snapshot of how we have structured the force to support our roadmap for the future, Marine Corps Vision and Strategy 2025. We intend for Concepts and Programs to also be a concise, useful reference of all our major programs. Our greatest commitment is to our Marines and their families; and as the Marine Corps Almanac shows in the last chapter, appropriations for our personnel comprise more than half of our overall budget. Our forces in Afghanistan will grow during 2010, and the high operational tempo we have experienced over the last several years will continue. As a naval expeditionary force and an elite air-ground team, the Marine Corps is ready and willing to go into harm's way on a moment's notice and do what is necessary to make our country safer - this is what America expects of her Marines. In the complex and dangerous security environment of the future, the Marine Corps stands ready for the challenges ahead.

Download or read book U S Marine Corps Concepts and Programs written by U.S. Marine Corps and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-14 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Marine Corps continues to defend our Nation amidst a world of ever-increasing instability and conflict. In the rugged Helmand River Valley of Afghanistan, onboard naval amphibious ships and in countless other locations, Marines are fighting our enemies and assisting our friends. All the while, we remain poised to respond to crisis in any clime or place. As, America's Expeditionary Force in Readiness, we have a statutory responsibility to be prepared at a moment's notice to respond "as the President may direct" across the range of military operation from humanitarian assistance missions to major combat operations. Our notion of "Expeditionary” is more than a slogan. It is a state of mind that drives the way we organize our forces, how we train, and what kind of equipment we buy. This past fall, our Corps conducted a comprehensive force structure review to ensure we are optimally postured for the emerging and future security environment. The results of that detailed study will have bearing on the programs and equipment we procure, now and into the future. This edition of Concepts and Programs serves as an encyclopedic reference of all our major programs and operational concepts for 2011. This publication also includes a comprehensive Almanac, detailing demographics and other important statistics of our force.
