ANALYSIS OF THE MARINE PACIFICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve Marine training for pacification or counterinsurgency activities. A systems analysis approach has been applied to such activities in Vietnam. The objective was to define the pacification system so explicitly that a Marine would know why he was doing what he was doing, how what he was doing contributed to immediate and future objectives and goals and how it related to other required activities, and what he might expect as outcomes of his activities. Having thus defined the system, it was necessary to look at present Marine training in terms of the system and to sample Marine comprehension of the system as it operates in Vietnam. The present phase of the study is focused on this data collection effect.
