Marine Corps Foreign Language Capabilities: Strategies to Mitigate Capability Gaps and Improve Mission Success

Abstract

This study explores the history of Marine Corps efforts to develop foreign language capabilities, and how the modern operating environment, which is characterized as highly complex and unpredictable, impacts current and future capability development efforts. To understand the difficulties facing capability development efforts, the paper then suggests that the Marine Corps examine the doctrinal, organizational, leadership, and training facets of its manpower management processes. Further, the paper provides an overview of current civilian sector workforce development systems that use Artificial Intelligence to forecast requirements and ensure that organizations have to best possible capability mix.
