Reshaping America's Expeditionary Force in Readiness
Abstract
In the fall of 2010 the Marine Corps conducted a Force Structure Review (FSR) to evaluate and refine the organization, posture and capabilities required of America's Expeditionary Force in Readiness in a post-OEF security environment. The FSR was conducted by senior field grade officers and civilian Marines under the direct cognizance of an executive steering group comprised of the Deputy Commandants, the Commanders of Marine Corps Forces Command and Marine Corps Forces Pacific, and the Commanding Generals of our Marine Expeditionary Forces. The participants of the FSR brought extensive operational experience across the range of military operations, along with a deep breadth of knowledge regarding capabilities, force organization, training and education, equipment, deployment, employment and sustainment to inform the process. Additionally, numerous subject matter experts from within and outside the Marine Corps contributed their knowledge and insights to the FSR. The work was routinely reviewed and guided by me and the Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps. This report is promulgated to promote understanding and to start implementation of FSR recommendations. Additional analysis through established capability development constructs will determine the how and timeline of the execution and implementation of FSR decisions.
