Command Overview
Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) is the Commandant of the Marine Corps's agent for acquisition
and sustainment of systems and equipment used to accomplish their warfighting mission. The command
outfits United States Marines with literally everything they drive, shoot and wear. Their focus is the young
Marine in harm's way, protecting him or her, and providing this warfighter the wherewithal to execute the
mission. MCSC's team of professional civilian Marines and active duty Marines equips the warfighter to
win. They listen, learn, research, develop, test, procure and sustain – whatever it takes to get Marines what
they need, when they need it efficiently and for the best value possible.
Using highly effective, streamlined and innovative business processes, the Command works hard to be
timely and consistent in providing quality systems and equipment to the operating forces, and then expertly
manages systems and equipment during their entire lifecycle. The technological advantage MCSC
provides helps Marines to shoot straighter, move faster and communicate more effectively so they can
continue our Marine Corps' proud and valorous tradition of winning battles in every clime and place. The
Command cares deeply about each and every individual Marine and works on a daily basis with one
thought in mind; that is, to provide our Marines with the systems and equipment necessary to ensure they
return home to their families safe and sound.
Command Mission
To serve as the Commandant's agent for acquisition and sustainment of systems and equipment used to
accomplish the Marine Corps' warfighting mission.
Command Vision
Marine Corps Systems Command will acquire the systems and equipment needed by multi-capable Marine
Air/Ground Task Forces to fight and win our Nation's battles. Fulfilling our unique mission while adhering to
our values and enduring principles will enable marines to succeed in uncertain, chaotic and austere
environments. Our workforce, processes and solutions will reflect the Corps' reliance on naval deployment,
leaner equipment, versatility and innovation. We will equip and sustain the nation's expeditionary "Force of
Choice."

Marine Corps Systems Command will rapidly meet evolving acquisition challenges. Individually and collectively, the following enduring principles will build on those of the Marine Corps to ensure we equip and sustain the warfighter:
- Integrity
- Professionalism
- Accountability
- Teamwork
- Mission Focus
