CD&I TFSD Mission Statement Guidance(MCO 5311.1E - 2015)

Mission Statements define capabilities (core competencies or operational requirements) for the Marine Corps, and describe the mission, associated METs/METL, organization, concepts of organization and employment, administrative and logistics capabilities, and command and signal.

Title X mandates capabilities/requirements for ALL branches of the Armed Services within DoD IOT accomplish assigned tasks for the United States Government.

MAGTF Advocates are responsible for creation, review, modification, formal staffing and GO endorsement of proposed final copy, and will ensure every unit identified by a UIC has a current Mission Statement.

Units without valid Mission Statements run the risk of not having submitted Tables of Organization and Equipment Change Requests (TOECRs) considered.

Mission Statement for units/SE will be reviewed every three years.

MAGTF Advocates will associate assigned METs with their appropriate units’ Mission Statements and will review, modify or create new (if required) for each unit within its purview.

MAGTF Advocates will have three (3) months from date of a revised or developed Marine Corps Task (MCT) incorporation within the MCTL, and used as a MET within an operational reportable METL, to update their affected Mission Statements.

MCTs/METs are Aligned to Training

MCTL serves as the common reference for USMC commanders, staffs, and trainers. Units serving in their Core and Assigned Missions derive their “tasks” from MCTL and are required to reporting their operational readiness to execute these tasks in DRRS-MC.

A MCT that is considered “essential” or “critical” to mission accomplishment becomes a Mission Essential Task (MET).

METs are externally focused and are tasks for which the unit was designed, organized, or sourced to the mission or OPLAN.

METs answer the question “Why does this unit exist?” METs are focused outside the command, support another command, or directly affect the enemy.

Standards: Personnel, Equipment, Training and Certification requirements, Output measures.

Core Tasks define the design capabilities for a type of unit, are published in the MCTIMS Task Master ADS database, and are used to develop the type community’s T&R Manual.

Assigned Mission Tasks/OPLAN Tasks are developed when a unit prepares to participate in a specific unit deployment, operation, or alert mission (e.g., MEU BN Landing Team, Global Response Force) and may/may not be “additive” tasks to the established Core METL.

MET/METL Review Workshops are conducted prior to COI T&R Manual Reviews per 3-Yr. cycle battle rhythm established by MCCDC/TECOM. CD&I, TECOM, MARFORCOM and Advocate release coordinated Naval Message with detailed COI requirements:

Review Community Mission Statement to ensure they can meet organizational capability and mission intent. Be prepared to submit recommendations for updating if needed.

Map personnel from current established TFSMS T/O to the METs within the current METL. (This aids COI in identifying and developing improved personnel standards.)

Map equipment from current established TFSMS T/E to the METs within the current METL. (This enables COI to identify inaccuracies/deficiencies/excesses of equipment.)

Use current T&R Manual to determine qualitative training standards aligned to the METs, and be prepared to submit recommendations for incorporation of NEW training events, if needed.

Recommended changes to the T&R Manual resulting from the Workshop is detailed within a Record of Proceedings (ROP) and given to the TECOM OccField/SME to support follow-on COI T&R Manual review.

Developed products are staffed in MCATS for COI and Advocate review/approval.

• Core Mission Essential Tasks – Critical, discrete, externally-focused activities that enable execution of the organizational mission;

tasks for which standing organizations were designed; standardized for each unit type• Core Plus Mission Essential Tasks

– Have lower probability of execution; theater specific; NOT included in unit readiness assessments; Units may elect to include Core Plus tasks in their METLs and associated training plans

• Assigned Mission Essential Tasks– Assessed when 25 percent or more of a unit deploys or prepares to deploy in support of a Named

Operation; Based on Core METs, Core Plus METs, Mission templates, and deployment guidance

MET Standard Types

Resource Standards: Manpower (T/O) and Equipment (T/E) required to produce the outputs

Training/Certification Standards: Training required to produce the outputs Links DRRS-MC assessment to COI T&R Manual standards Links “E” coded events to the MET; identifies Exercises/Certs required

Output (Performance) Standards: Quantify the outputs provided to the gaining Force Commander Focus on results rather than process, inputs, or resources applied

Subordinate/Supporting Unit Standards: Tasks performed by other units that are required to produce the outputs Required for intermediate level commands

UNCLASSIFIEDAUG 2015

MET Personnel (T/O) & Equipment (T/E) Standards

• Measure the Personnel required to produce the required task outputs under the selected task conditions; Link Personnel on the unit (T/O) to the tasks they support; Personnel metrics are used in DRRS-MC to assess the resources required to accomplish the task

Personnel Examples:>= 16 crews formed>= 80% Of T/O billets filled with MOS-qualified, deployable personnel>= 80% of MOS 0621 T/O filled with MOS-qualified, deployable personnel>= 2 MOS 0602 billets filled with MOS-qualified, deployable personnel

• Measure the Equipment required to produce the required task outputs under the selected task conditions; Link Equipment on the unit Table of Equipment (T/E) to the tasks they support; Equipment metrics are used in DRRS-MC to assess the resources required to accomplish the task

Equipment Examples: >= 80% of BN T/E Stinger sub-systems mission ready and available >= 2 DTC (or equivalent stand-alone equipment) ready and available >= 80% of single channel radios T/E ready and available

AUG 2015 UNCLASSIFIED 23

MET Training & Output Standards

• Measure the Training required to produce the required task outputs under the selected task conditions; Training metrics are used in DRRS-MC to:

Assess the training required for the taskSupport the calculation of the percentage of METs trainedNormally refer to E-coded events in an approved COI T&R Manual, or Collective events identified by the community as critical indicators of a unit’s ability to perform a MET

Training Example:>=4 teams trained to standard in 0321-AMPH-4002 Conduct a clandestine amphibious landing/withdrawal

• Measure the capability to produce the required Output or endstate. Quantify and scope the activity described by the task; Output metrics are used in DRRS-MC to assess the observation of the task performance.

Output Examples:>= 22,400 gallons per day of bulk fuel received/stored/dispensed>= 2 site(s) established to provide immediate humanitarian assistance, including food, water, and health servicesY/N Capable of boarding high freeboard shipY/N Capable of applying combat power to delay, impede, halt, or dislodge the enemyY/N Capable of seizing multiple battalion objectives through surface and/or heliborne assault

AUG 2015 UNCLASSIFIED 24

MCTs/METs/METLs Approval Process

• COI’s identifying desired future capability requirements could be submitted to CD&I/CDD, but are NOT acceptable to reflect current capabilities required for DRRS-MC.

• Mission criteria based on future T/O&E requirements prevents development of an adequate Training plan resulting in artificially skewing COI’s combat capability assessment and creating degraded readiness within DRRS-MC

.• MCT/MET changes require collaborative coordination with

CD&I, TECOM and MARFORCOM.

• COI requires change/modification to existing MCTs used as a MET in their METL, due to structure changes, resource or training deficiencies.

• COI may conduct a “Capabilities Based Assessment” (CBA) or T&R Manual review, but the MET/METL Review and Development Workshop should be precursor.

• COI independent CBA and T&R Manual reviews outside of the established MET/METL process necessitates corrective understanding, and often, repeatable work.

• CD&I, along with TECOM and MARFORCOM, conduct COI MET/METL reviews PRIOR to T&R Manual reviews.

• MET/METL review process is “lock-step” with Mission Statement and COI T&R Manual reviews conducted every three (3) years.

• Workshop deliverables require COI/Advocate/OAG validation of Mission Statement and structure accuracy, current capabilities with trained proficiencies aligned to the T&R Manual, and output standards that provide adequate ability to assess a METL’s readiness.

• CD&I facilitates new or modified changes to MCTs within MCTIMS Task Master for immediate use by COI as a reportable MET within their METL

• COI identified METs are reflected in the COI Mission Statement within TFSMS to support TOECR change modifications.

MET/METL Review/Staffing TIMELINE/Suspense: 45-day WG staffing of deliverables conducted by MARFORCOM for COI/Advocate review/concurrenceReview LEAD: COI HHQ, Advocate

MET/METL Review and Development Workshops is a collaborative meeting with COI reps, conducted with guidance by CD&I/CDD MCTL Branch and TFSD, TECOM Ground and Aviation Sections, and MARFORCOM G3/5/7.
