In Search of Combat Readiness in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Abstract

This thesis is an analysis of the factors that make a U.S. Marine Corps unit combat ready. It focuses upon resource readiness factors and provides a general systems view of readiness of a Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF). It contains the results of a survey, of 46 Marine officers, based upon a readiness model derived from the JCS UNITREP system. The survey data was analyzed using a Bootstrap methodology, whereby quantitative values are derived from qualitative value judgements. Keywords: Combat Readiness, Resource Readiness, Organizational Effectiveness.
