Background: The Marine Corps is evolving and transforming to effectively support and sustain its status as a global expeditionary force amidst uncertain threats, aging weapon systems, ever-increasing technology, reduced labor, and declining budgets. Marine Corps defense systems must be prepared to support commanders across the battlespace and provide improved solutions, addressing both anticipated and unanticipated Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) challenges.

This effort requires a highly capable, agile, and flexible force that, when required, responds rapidly to global threats without severe consequence. Maneuverable forces will depend upon multiple defense systems that allow Marines to shoot, move, and communicate while maintaining a minimal logistics footprint in the deployed environment. Listed below are specific tenets that directly affect acquisition and logistics communities who support and sustain defense systems for operational forces:

● Provide cooperative, collaborative, adaptive, and distributed planning and decision-making

● Improve Automatic Information Technology, Automated Information Systems, system interoperability, information technology (IT), data integrity, and information assurance across all domains and services

● Improve access to timely and actionable information across all domains and with other Services, allied and coalition forces

● Integrate Marine Corps and naval logistics capabilities

● Establish and sustain logistics process and systems interoperability with joint, theater and applicable multi-national logistics capabilities

● Focus on organizational changes to logistics enablers that support and sustain dispersed, disaggregated, and afloat forces

● Expand (with the Navy) access to the littorals supporting force deployment and sustainment

● Support a global laydown of forward-deployed forces with improved logistics responsiveness and agility while sustaining the equipment readiness of disaggregated units

● Improve, clarify and deconflict Marine Corps logistics policy guidance that aligns with Secretary of the Navy and Department of Defense logistics and logistics IT directives

● Ensure compliance across logistics Business Mission Areas (BMA) by assessing policy and business processes, to sustain and enhance enterprise audit readiness.
