Synopsis as published on the index

Marine Corps concepts propose new and innovative approaches for addressing current or future gaps, shortfalls, or challenges for which existing methods or capabilities are ineffective, insufficient, or nonexistent. They may also describe new opportunities based on changes in technology that present adversaries with new dilemmas. These threat-informed concepts, aligned with national security guidance and Marine Corps objectives, provide the basis for analytically supported recommendations to inform subsequent force design and development activities. This is a new Order and shall be read in its entirety. This Order is in accordance with references (a) through (j)
