The Marine Corps Constantly Adapts its Training

   One of the things that our military does in order to continue to be successful is to adapt and change with the times. Every war is not the same so the tactics which may have brought success during the last campaign could very well be the downfall of the current conflict.
Tools such as after action reviews are utilized in order to correct the things that were done wrong after a conflict, and to improve on the things which were done well. this is done after training exercises and wars alike. Future conflicts must also be taken into account in order to help properly prepare our troops for the conflict that they will have to face. Traditionally the greatest number of casualties occur during the first few days of the war. I believe that there are several factors which influence this. I believe that the state of training or readiness is the biggest factor. Even though troops may be very well trained I believe that there are more casualties because they are not necessarily trained for the current conflict.
The Marine Corps has  made a list of 14 war fighting challenges which will that will dictate the shape of future training and prepare the service for the next 20 years of fighting.
Stated goals are; "improved individual training and education," and "employ 21st century combined arms."Training goals have also been set based on expectations of future needs in order to help the Corps get to where it needs to go.
Of course any training plan has to be based on the best possible credible intelligence and an accurate assessment of who will be our potential enemies, and their expected capabilities. We must also develop weapons which will effectively counteract or neutralize anything that they might posses.
Our national security rests on the ability of our Defense Department to access the future battle prospects accurately and to respond accordingly. Purchase a Marine Corps Ring
