  1. MARINE CORPS SERVICE CAMPAIGN PLAN (MCSCP)2009-2015 National Plans Branch Strategy and Plans Division Plans, Policies, & Operations

  2. CMC Assessment “We are not a second land army. What we offer is unique in that it comes from the sea, it is fast, austere, it’s lethal, and it’s expeditionary… Current wartime deployment rates dictate an almost singular focus to prepare units for their next rotation and counterinsurgency operations. This focus and the deployment rate of many units threaten to erode the skills needed for Marine Corps missions such as combined arms maneuver, mountain warfare, and amphibious operations. Our deployment cycles must not only support training for irregular warfare, but also provide sufficient time for recovery and maintenance as well as training for other contingency missions. By increasing dwell time for our units, we can accomplish the more comprehensive training needed for the sophisticated skill sets that have enabled Marine Air Ground Task Forces to consistently achieve success in all types of operations.”

  3. Core CompetenciesThe Marine Corps… • Conducts persistent forward naval engagement and is always ready to respond as the Nation’s force in readiness • Employs integrated combined arms across the ROMO and can operate as part of a Joint or Multinational Force • Provides forces and specialized detachments for service aboard naval ships, on stations, and operations ashore • Conducts joint forcible entry operations from the sea and develops amphibious landing force capabilities and doctrine • Conducts complex expeditionary operations in the urban littorals and other challenging environments • Leads joint and multinational operations and enables interagency activities

  4. CMC Focus Areas According to the Commandant’s Planning Guidance, our number one priority remains our Marines and Sailors in combat. Thereafter, the following 7 focus areas are assigned: • Achieve victory in current overseas contingency operations • Right-size our Corps to achieve a 1:2 deployment to dwell ratio in the active component • Provide our Nation with a naval force fully prepared to employ as a MAGTF across the ROMO • Reset and modernize to “be most ready when the nation is least ready” • Improve the quality of life for our Marines and families • Rededicate ourselves to our Core Values and warrior ethos • Posture the Marine Corps for the future

  5. Purpose of MCSCP The MCSCP will move the Marine Corps forward, across the FYDP, towards the objectives laid out in Vision and Strategy 2025. The MCSCP: • Provides guidance that ensures a unified approach to achieve Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) priorities • Addresses how the Marine Corps will maintain its core competencies • Addresses how the Marine Corps will meet Combatant Commander requirements • Integrates and directs Deputy Commandant, Director, and Commander activities to develop, organize, train, equip, and deploy Marine forces • Assigns Service objectives and a methodology for providing feedback to CMC

Flows from external guidance and Vision and Strategy 2025 Framework for USMC guidance and directs execution Links concepts, CMC Planning Guidance, and execution Provides a standing, recognized pathway to disseminate guidance Prioritizes Marine force development and force deployment GEF/JSCP GDF MCSCP: Where it fits CMC Planning Guidance External and Institutional Guidance Execution Document MCSCP

  7. Assumptions • Force levels will increase in Afghanistan in accordance with current plans. • Force levels achieved in Afghanistan by November 2010 will be a steady state requirement through 2015. • Iraq force levels will draw down according to current plans. • Funding to conduct operations in Afghanistan and Iraq will continue to be made available through supplemental appropriations or factored into the baseline budget. • Marine Corps end-strength will remain at least 202K; funding to meet and sustain 202K personnel. End-strength will continue at programmed levels. • Combatant Commanders (CCDRs) will maintain, if not increase, their requirements for Navy and Marine Corps forces to support steady state engagement activities. • During steady-state operations, amphibious ships will increasingly be employed in support of theater security cooperation activities and crisis response. • In light of fiscal constraints facing the Navy[, the Department of the Navy will sustain an adequate amphibious ship inventory to support the MEB Assault Echelon (AE). • The Navy and US Transportation Command will provide sufficient, compatible Assault Follow-on Echelon (AFOE) shipping with the capability to conduct in-stream offload of the AFOE. • Three maritime prepositioning squadrons will carry three MEB equipment sets that, in conjunction with the fly-in echelon and fixed wing flight ferry, provide support to three MEBs ashore. • Maritime prepositioning force (MPF) will continue to evolve in accordance with current and projected timelines. MPF will provide alternative sea-based support for persistent presence and crisis response activities. It will also provide the ability to rapidly reinforce the MEF AE from the sea with a third MEB equivalent. • Special purpose Marine air ground task forces will be sourced through the Global Force Management process and employed to expand forward presence, security cooperation, and crisis prevention activities.

  8. MCSCP Concept of Operations Across two phases within the FYDP, the Marine Corps will continue to meet its wartime requirements; re-constitute the full range of MAGTF capabilities with emphasis on the MEB and MEF; and increase forward presence with naval forces • Phase I. Transition to OEF and re-constitute MEB level capabilities Now through 30 Sep 2011 • Phase II. Continue support to OEF and re-constitute MEF level capabilities 1 Oct 2011 to 30 Sep 2015

  9. ProposedPhase I Key Outcomes • Retrograde of MAGTF from OIF completed • Rotation to meet Marine Corps OEF - Afghanistan requirements established • MEB level proficiency across core competencies increased • Marine Corps approach to supporting Security Force Assistance institutionalized • Initial regionalization efforts completed • MARFOR component way ahead established • Risk accepted in meeting forward presence, crisis response, and contingency response requirements outside the CENTCOM AOR • Cost-benefit analysis for standing MEB headquarters completed • Analysis for how MEF will man, train, and equip a JTF completed Now through 30 Sep 2011

  10. Proposed Phase IIntermediate Objectives • Marine Corps able to sustain an aggregate 2.0 MEU presence (inclusive of 1.0 MEU to CENTCOM and 31st MEU) • Unit/personnel dep:dwell of 1:2 (AC) and mob/dwell of 1:4 (RC) are achieved • Each MEF develops a training and exercise program to increase MEB level proficiency in amphibious, MPF, and joint/multinational operations • Within operational constraints, each MEF conducts a MEB level exercise/operation annually to increase proficiency in amphibious, MPF, and joint/multinational operations • Each MEF is assigned regions in which to focus training and cultural awareness

  11. ProposedPhase II Key Outcomes • MEF level proficiency across core competencies increased • Full SFA capability within each MEF established • Manpower and force generation policies to support regionalization of operating forces institutionalized • MARFOR componency objectives achieved • Contingent upon OIF drawdown, UDP in support of III MEF fully re-established • Defense Policy Review Initiative (DPRI) initiatives for III MEF realignment on planned timeline • Forward presence, crisis response, and contingency response outside the CENTCOM AOR expanded • CMC decision on establishing standing MEB headquarters 1 Oct 2011 to 30 Sep 2015

  12. Proposed Phase IIIntermediate Objectives • Maintain an aggregate 2.0 MEU presence (inclusive of 1.0 MEU to CENTCOM and 31st MEU) • Maintain unit/personnel dep:dwell of 1:2 (AC) and mob/dwell of 1:4 (RC) • Each MEF develops a training and exercise program to increase MEF level proficiency in amphibious, MPF, and joint/multinational operations • Within operational constraints, each MEF conducts a MEF level exercise/operation annually to increase proficiency in amphibious, MPF, and joint/multinational operations

  13. MCSCP Implementation MCSCP Phase I (Now through FY11) MCSCP Phase II (FY12-FY15) • Initial Implementation • (Now through FY10) • QDR out-briefed. • V&S 2025 IPG analysis completed (Dec 2009). • Advocate Roadmaps developed and incorporated into MCSCP as annexes. • Marine Corps Campaign Support Plan (CSP) as directed in GEF implemented. • GFM procedures and manpower policies examined and adjusted to enable sourcing of regionally focused MAGTFs. • First MCSCP assessment completed. • Partial Implementation (FY10 through FY11) • MCSCP becomes source document to guide and direct DC, Director, and Commander activities. • Service level reviews of Advocate Roadmaps conducted, focused on alignment with CMC guidance. • MCSCP affecting POM 14 guidance. • Adjustments made to CSP implementation as required. • MEFs assigned regional focus areas. HQMC analysis on force sourcing and personnel assignment policies concluded and out-briefed. • MCSCP assessment methodology refined • Full Implementation • (FY12 through FY15) • MCSCP “ahead” of POM cycle, enabling Marine Corps to be in better compliance with CMC and OSD guidance. • Advocate Roadmaps adjusted based on MCSCP guidance. • Regionally focused, multi-capable MAGTFs sourced IAW refined GFM procedures and manpower policies to support CCDR requirements.

  14. Way Ahead • MCSCP out for 3 Star GO Review- responses due 8 Oct • PP&O to brief CMC in late October
