Marine Corps Logistics Doctrine 2030: Naval Logistics for The Future Warfight

Abstract

Force Design 2030 (FD2030) ordered significant institutional changes intended to modernize the Marine Corps and prepare it for future maritime conflicts against peer adversaries. Can current Marine Corps logistics doctrine support future force design challenges? This study argues that to support the future force, the Marine Corps logistics doctrine must evolve tactical logistics functions to posture its forces for distributed logistics operations in a contested environment through naval integrated resources within the littoral region. Doctrine must facilitate naval logistics integration to bridge tactical logistics functions between services with capabilities to sustain the operational campaign, including control of sea and ground transportation within the littoral environment, access to inter-agency supply sources, and tactical contracting.
