Synopsis as published on the index

Commandant’s Planning Guidance Frag Order. "Marines must have warrior skills second to none, they must have absolute faith in the integrity of their unit--their team--and they must be men and women of character." "We must capitalize on the gains and strengthen the new opportunities uncovered by the cohesion and sustainment portions of the transformation program. Therefore, I want to continue to re-craft our manpower practices, to the maximum extent possible, to facilitate team-building and unit cohesion across all MOSs." Unit Cohesion-Commandant’s Intent. "We must do everything possible to enhance the transformation of young men and women into the Marines that our Corps needs to win battles. I firmly believe that unit cohesion is an integral part of the transformation process. Marines must possess and feel the absolute trust, subordination of self, the intuitive understanding of the collective actions of the unit, and the importance of teamwork. Accordingly, I have formally approved two initiatives--Team Integrity and Synchronization. As a start, these initiatives will be immediately applied to infantry Marines and units in conjunction with the ‘Crucible Event’ at the Recruit Depots. Infantry is just the first step--my vision is to apply these initiatives across the Corps."
