More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Every Marine, regardless of occupational specialty, is trained in the fundamentals of infantry skills and tactics. Throughout history, Marines have established a reputation for prowess in combat. However, it is more than basic marksmanship and tactics or courage and tenacity in battle. It is the capability to adjust to dynamic environments and to refine changes in doctrine and tactics along the way. In 1993, the Marine Corps developed a new concept of intelligence support for expeditionary operations under the supervision of Major General P. K. Van Riper. Although the intelligence community addressed a majority of the intelligence shortfalls in his plan, there was a particular human element that was not considered. The Marine Corps intelligence mission statement implies that more than just intelligence officers need to understand the basic concepts of intelligence support. To address Professional Military Education (PME) shortfalls, the Marine Corps should develop a basic intelligence course for all officers that focuses on common intelligence training and core intelligence competencies
