Marine Corps Doctrinal Publications

Marine Corps Doctrinal Publications (MCDPs)
MCDPs are higher order doctrine publications containing the fundamental and enduring beliefs of warfighting (Capstone publications: MCDP 1, 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3) and the guiding doctrine for the conduct of major warfighting activities (Keystone publications: MCDP 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).  MCDPs 1-0 translates the philosophical-based capstone/keystone publications into operational doctrine.  MCDPs supersede selected Fleet Marine Force Manuals (FMFMs).
