This book was published to ensure the retention and dissemination of useful information which is not intended to become doctrine or to be published in Fleet Marine Force Manuals.

Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-42.1, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operations, addresses the fundamentals of planning and execution of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations in sup- port of the Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF).

This publication provides valuable information on the climate of the Persian Gulf Region.

Dissemination management involves dissemination priorities, selection of dissemination means, and monitoring the flow of intelligence throughout the command. The objective of dissemination management is to deliver the required intelligence to the appropriate user in the proper form at the right time, while ensuring that individual consumers and the dissemination system are not overloaded by attempting to move unneeded or irrelevant information. Dissemination management also provides for the use of security controls, which do not impede the timely delivery or subsequent use of intelligence, while protecting intelligence sources and methods.

This manual contains basic and advanced training and techniques for static line parachuting. It is designed to standardize procedures for initial qualification and training of personnel in their duties and responsibilities in airborne operations. The jumpmaster, assistant jumpmaster, safeties, DACO, DZSTL, and DZSO occupy key positions in airborne operations. The initial training and qualifications of these personnel designated to occupy those critical positions are contained in this manual. SOF unit personnel must meet the requirements for static line parachuting contained in this manual as well as provide special training and instruction for nonstandard equipment, aircraft, and personnel procedures. These procedures are documented in FM 31-19, FM 31- 24, FM 31-25, and USASOC Reg 350-2. Individual service components that deviate from this manual due to unique mission requirements will use approved procedures, techniques, equipment, and equipment-attaching methods specified by their respective service.

The purpose of Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 2-25, Ground Reconnaissance Operations, is to establish doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures for Marine Corps ground reconnaissance. This publication is intended for officers and enlisted personnel who are involved with the direction, planning, and execution of ground reconnaissance missions. It is also designed to assist commanders and staffs of all Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) units with integrating ground reconnaissance into all other planning and operations. Relevant to the employment of ground reconnaissance at all echelons of command from the infantry battalion to the Marine expeditionary force, MCWP 2-25 defines the organization, roles, operational requirements, mission tasks, battlefield functions, and command and control relationships of reconnaissance assets within the MAGTF.

Marine Corps Warfighting Publication MCWP 2-10 Formerly MCWP 2-1 US Marine Corps 2 May 2016, builds on the doctrinal foundation established in Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 2, Intelligence. It provides tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) intelligence operations. This publication is intended for commanders, other users of intelligence, and intelligence personnel who plan and execute intelligence operations.

Since Fleet Marine Force Manual 1, Warfighting, was first published in 1989, it has had a significant impact both inside and outside the Marine Corps. That manual has changed the way Marines think about warfare. It has caused energetic debate and has been translated into several foreign languages, issued by foreign militaries, and published commercially. It has strongly influenced the development of doctrine by our sister Services. Our current naval doctrine is based on the tenets of maneuver warfare as described in that publication. Current and emerging concepts such as operational maneuver from the sea derive their doctrinal foundation from the philosophy contained in Warfighting. Our philosophy of warfighting, as described in the manual, is in consonance with joint doctrine, contributing to our ability to operate harmoniously with the other Services.That said, I believe Warfighting can and should be improved. Military doctrine cannot be allowed to stagnate, especially an adaptive doctrine like maneuver warfare. Doctrine must continue to evolve based on growing experience, advancements in theory, and the changing face of war itself. It is in this spirit that Warfighting has been revised, and this publication, Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication 1, supersedes Fleet Marine Force Manual 1." --C. C. KRULAK, General, U.S. Marine Corps, Commandant of the Marine Corps

Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 1-0 is the first Marine Corps Operations doctrinal publication written for the Marine component and the Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF). It represents how our warfighting philosophy is codified in operational terms. MCDP 1-0 is intentionally written broadly to capture the employment of Marine components and the MAGTF across the range of military operations. The supporting tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) are contained in our warfighting and reference publications.

Fleet Marine Force Reference Publication (FMFRP) 0-1B, Marine Physical Readiness Training for Combat, is intended for use by all Marines. It provides the information and references necessary to establish and conduct physical conditioning programs to prepare Marines for the physical demands of combat.

Fleet Marine Force Reference Publication (FMFRP) 0-6, Marine Troop Leader's Guide, provides a checklist of basic duties for the troop leader at the platoon, section, squad, and fire team levels in combat operations.

Fleet Marine Force Manual (FMFM) 6-5, Marine Rifle Squad, provides basic guidance to enable the rifle platoon squad leader to fight and lead his squad in combat. This manual describes the organization, weapons, capabilities, and limitations of the Marine rifle squad. It addresses the squad's role within the platoon and that of the fire teams within the rifle squad. Emphasis is placed on offensive and defensive tactics and techniques, as well as the different types of patrols the squad will conduct.

Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 2-1, Intelligence Operations, builds on the doctrinal foundation established in Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 2, Intelligence. It provides tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) intelligence operations. This publication is intended for commanders, other users of intelligence, and intelligence personnel who plan and execute intelligence operations.

Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 3, Expeditionary Operations, establishes doctrine for the conduct of military operations by the U.S. Marine Corps. It describes the Marine Corps as an expeditionary force-in-readiness that is manned, trained, and equipped specifically to respond quickly to a broad variety of crises and conflicts across the full range of military operations anywhere in the world. It emphasizes the naval character of Marine Corps forces. This naval expeditionary character provides capabilities both to forward-deploy forces near the scene of potential crises as well as to deploy sustainable, combined arms teams rapidly by sea and air. With reduced overseas presence in terms of force levels and bases, these capabilities have become essential elements of our national military strategy. This publication also underscores the value of Marine Corps forces as a highly cost-effective option in a wide range of situations, including crises requiring forcible entry. Importantly, this publication establishes versatility and adaptability as critical capabilities in a broad range of circumstances for expeditionary forces in an uncertain world. Finally, this publication describes the Marine Corps' key expeditionary concepts.This publication is compatible with the Marine Corps' capstone doctrinal publication, MCDP 1, Warfighting.Warfighting provides the broad institutional and operating philosophy that underlies all Marine Corps expeditionary operations, regardless of echelon of command or operating setting. This publication applies that philosophy more specifically to the operations of Marine air-ground task forces (MAGTFs) and to the types of expeditionary settings in which these forces will likely be required to operate. Where MCDP 1 describes the Marine Corps' philosophy of warfighting, this publication describes the types of operations of which Marine Corps forces must be capable.
