1
Long War ConceptThe Marine Corps Vision for
Strategic Force Employment ISO the Steady State
Security Posture
Unclassified
Evolve Marine Corps and naval operating concepts
that address our contributions to Combatant
Commanders theater security cooperation plans
even as we maintain our contingency and crisis
response capability34th CMC Planning Guidance
2006
2
Purpose
Unclassified
  • Develop a concept of employment with a supporting
    global force laydown and force reconstitution
    plan that best postures the Marine Corps to meet
    the current and projected steady state security
    environment.

3
Assumptions
Unclassified
  • That the Marine Corps will remain a General
    Purpose Force capable of full spectrum operations
    with emphasis on irregular warfare
  • That the Marine Corps will drawdown in CENTCOM
    AOR, however
  • MAGTF construct retained in Iraq as long as
    forces are deployed there
  • Marine Corps transition teams remain after the
    preponderance of conventional forces withdraw
  • That geographic CCDRs will have a greater demand
    for general purpose forces to conduct theater
    security cooperation
  • That CENTCOM drawdown will allow the
    establishment of an appropriate, balanced
    presence in the Pacific
  • That Agreed Implementation Plans (AIPs) are
    implemented with Marine Corps recommended changes
  • That the MARFORs will have adequate specific
    Title 10 (DCCEP, HCA, PE, ERC) funds
    appropriately aligned to mission requirements
    available forces
  • That DoS Title 22 (IMET, FMS, FMF, 1206) funds
    are aligned with the available forces to conduct
    the full spectrum of operations, with particular
    emphasis on Phase 0 and Phase 1

4
Mid-Range Threat Assessment
Unclassified
  • Future global threat environment will be
    characterized by the following drivers of
    instability
  • Terrorism / Irregular Warfare
  • Ideological / Religious Extremism
  • Poorly / ungoverned spaces
  • Globalization
  • Economics / Poverty / Health Crisis
  • Rise of China / India
  • Natural Resource Competition (water, energy,
    etc.)
  • Science Technology competition / advancements
  • Changing Demographics (youth bulge, aging
    populations, etc.)
  • Environmental Factors (climate change, natural
    disasters, etc.)
  • Crime

US Military operations in the 21st Century will
likely focus on neutralizing asymmetric threats
5
COCOM Demand vs. Insufficient Forces
Unclassified
Current Situation
CCDR Demand
  • CENTCOM focused
  • COIN specific training
  • Reduced forward presence worldwide
  • Limited capacity for Security Cooperation (SC)
    operations
  • Reduced maritime connection
  • Unable to address many CCDR requirements
  • Degraded home station unit readiness
  • Persistent engagement
  • Forward presence
  • Strategic Partnerships capability capacity
    building
  • Security
  • Partner Nation counterterrorism capability /
    capacity
  • Coverage in ungoverned areas
  • Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR)

Demand exceeds current supply of Marine forces

Long War Force Planning Construct
Unclassified
The Integration / Synchronization of
QDR
  • Directs shift of resources from traditional to
    nontraditional challenges

  • Distributed operations to support building
    partner capacity activities
  • Re-aggregation for major theater conflict

NOC
  • Deny sponsorship, support, and sanctuary to
    terrorists
  • Operationalizes Irregular Warfare capability
    requirements
  • USSOCOM synchronization with geographic COCOMs

CONPLAN 7500
  • Security Cooperation Marine Air Ground Task
    Force (SC MAGTF) provides forces for CCDR Theater
    Security Cooperation activities
  • Task organized to support tailored events over a
    specified period

SC MAGTF
  • Adopt and implement a Marine advisor program
  • Global training, advisory, planning and
    engagement initiatives
  • Provides for persistent engagement with
    in-country interagency
  • elements, international organizations, NGOs, and
    PVOs

- Persistent forward presence - Regiment focuses
on a specific region - Maximizes potential of
USMC language and culture training initiatives -
Personnel with language and culture experience in
region are assigned when possible to this
regiment - Regiment conducts overall
full-spectrum and deployment focused training of
battalions. Specific training in line with CCDR /
MarFor SC requirements - Battalions deploy on a
12 rotation

Additional capabilities / attachments as
required - Civil Affairs det / planners -

Veterinary capabilities - IA liaisons (State,
Agriculture, Commerce, USAID) - Military Working
Dogs, HUMINT, Band, others as needed
Combat Logistics Company provides traditional
CS/CSS functions to MAGTF but with additional
capabilities for SC - Engineering capability -
Additional Medical and Dental capabilities -
Other elements as required to meet COCOM / MarFor
requirements.
Infantry Battalion forms the core of the MAGTF -
Bn conducts full spectrum training in
pre-deployment dwell time. - Portion of workup is
security cooperation tailored training. - Unit
receives language and culture package from CAOCL
to augment existing expertise
ACE is task organized for specific mission
requirements. Typical construct could consist
of - 6 x V-22 - 2 x CH-53E/K - 2 x UH-1Y - 2 x
KC-130J - MWSS and MACG det to support

supported by a force laydown and reconstitution
plan which postures the Marine Corps to meet
future long war demands while maintaining
readiness for global crisis response.

COA Recommendation
Unclassified
  • COA 2 is preferred
  • Provides a rotational base for the proposed Long
    War Force Planning Construct
  • Stabilizes forces and dependent quality of life
  • Provides a mix of PCS and UDP Bns which
    optimizes limited training resources in the AOR
  • Maximizes operational availability of 31st MEU
  • Flexible enough to support either AIP or WAP

Sourcing of PCS and UDP Bns is supportable and
aligned with the Long War Plan.
