About

The combat experience of Global War on Terror veterans has affected changes to the "philosophy" and "terms" of Marines since MCDP 1-0 was published in 2001. The new philosophy and terms are manifestations of Marine innovation. This innovation compensates for doctrinal guidance that has become insufficient over the eight years since the current Operations was published. Inadequacies in Operations detract from the Marine Corps' ability to fight modern wars because of a narrow perspective of warfare, illogical organization, and contradictions with joint doctrine. To regain credibility Operations must incorporate the adaptations made after the initial failures of the Global War on Terror.
