The Role of the Marine Corps


Marine Corps Future Operating Environment

Defining The New Normal

Arc of Instability


The Numbers Are Telling… The Littorals Matter

30,000 trading ships are

underway daily

21 of the world’s 28 mega-cities are within 62 mi / 100 km of the sea

95% of international communications travel via

underwater cables

75% of the world's population lives within

200 miles of a coast

93% of the world’s commerce moves by sea

49% of the world’s oil travels through 7 major sea

chokepoints

National security is achieved in the littoral regions, where sea control and littoral power projection meet

the human domain ashore.4


Marine Corps Systems Command

MissionTo serve as the Department of the Navy's systems command for Marine Corps ground

weapon and information technology system programs in order to equip and sustain Marine forces with full-spectrum, current and future expeditionary and crisis response capabilities.

Commander’s Priorities Our Work Environment.

Executing to Plan. Our Professional Credibility.

Preparing for the future.

“Marine Corps Systems Command is a team of Acquisition Professionals united by a common purpose—being prepared for the

future, while providing our Marines affordable and capable systems in a timely manner—and possessing a strong sense of esprit de corps.”

- Commander’s Intent, BGen Shrader


What We Do

This Ain’t Us


This is what we do…


"While our foundation today is pretty solid, we can't keep doing what we're doing today and still be in good shape five or 10 years from now. We have to improve in three

key areas: leadership development, overall readiness and our warfighting capability. These are my priorities, and

we're absolutely focused on them."

Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Commandant of the Marine CorpsJune 2015, Leatherneck Magazine

READINESS

“Readiness remains our #1 priority to meet our national security responsibilities; however, our focus on the current fight coupled with our declining budget, has forced the Marine Corps to make difficult

choices and reduce investment in modernization to maintain current and near term readiness. In today’s fiscal environment, the Marine

Corps is investing only in essential modernization, focusing on those areas that underpin our core competencies.”

- GENERAL JOSEPH DUNFORD COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS BEFORE THE HASC-D 26 FEBRUARY 2015


CORROSION CONTROL IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR READINESS
