Marine Corps Tactical Publication (MCTP) 7-20A, Unit Training Guide, contains guidance for Marine leaders at all levels on how to plan, conduct, and evaluate Marine Corps training. This publication provides a description of training fundamentals and how leaders at all levels apply them to the planning and conduct of standards-based training. It details how Marine leaders ready their units for the rigors of combat by leveraging a systematic process to develop training plans, training events, and exercises. MCTP 7-20A provides the authoritative basis for how the Marine Corps trains in preparation for operations across the competition continuum; however, it does so without prescribing techniques or procedures. It is not intended to mandate procedures or checklists and instead aims to present a way of thinking about training.
