The Challenges of Balance: A Case Study of OMFTS and the Challenge of Developing Concepts While Maintaining Current Relevance

Abstract

This paper, through a study of the evolution of Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS), analyzes the development of Marine Corps concepts in relationship to program and resource allocation. This analysis identifies and provides insight into various friction points that exist between the Marine Corps concept development process and resource and program allocation, identifies key errors made in the past, and suggests solutions to potential dangers in the development of future concepts and programs.
