Building Partner Capacity: More Than Just Shooting, Moving, and Communicating

Abstract

The Marine Corps has shown proficiency in building partner capacity, but has, in most cases restricted its focus to infantry centric activities. Partner nation militaries need to develop across more capabilities that support and sustain their main security force missions. The Marine Corps, therefore, should expand its security cooperation activities to encompass all warfighting functions when training partner nation militaries. TSC teams may not be formed correctly in order to build capacity through and across all warfighting functions. TSC teams should, however, be multi-functional and not cover just infantry related skills since there are many tasks that need to be complete prior to accomplishing infantry missions.
