Do Marines Value and Use Culture? 2012 Center for Advanced Operational Culture Learning Survey II Findings

Abstract

To assess the value and use of culture for Marines engaged in steady-state activities, in 2012 the Center for Advanced Operational Culture Learning (CAOCL) administered a large-scale survey through the Marine Corps Center for Lessons Learned (MCCLL) to 20 of all Marines listed in the Global Address List (GAL). The 1654 Marines included in the final analyses paralleled USMC demographics in terms of rank (enlisted vs. officer) and gender. Both Marines who deployed to overseas missions other than OIF-Iraq or OEF-Afghanistan/Pakistan (referred to as Group 1) and Marines who only deployed to OIF-Iraq or OEF-Afghanistan/Pakistan (referred to as Group 2) strongly value and use culture for their missions. Few differences emerged between Groups 1 and 2.
