GENTEXT/RMKS/1.  Per the references, this MARADMIN announces the Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) Marine Corps Lessons Learned Collection Campaign Plan.  This Plan was developed in conjunction with Marine Corps Center for Lessons Learned (MCCLL) Program Analysts embedded in the operating forces, Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC), MARFORs, and supporting establishment following the completion of a data call for lessons learned collection topics.  Topics were also formally solicited Marine Corps wide via Automated Message Handling System (AMHS) Message (Ref B).  In previous years, the topics nominated and selected were considered to have significant value to provide actionable information and, as applicable, to influence change in operational tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), and/or be informative to advocates and doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) stakeholders for resource application deliberations and decisions.  Starting with the FY19 Marine Corps Collection Campaign Plan, selection criteria used to evaluate all topics included linkages to Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) guidance and FRAGOs, Marine Corps Operating Concept (MOC), Force Development Strategic Plan, and the CG MCWL/FD Campaign Plan FY 18-20.
2.  MCCLL databases contain a vast amount of previous years reports and publications, and combined with the publications produced during the FY19 Collection Campaign Plan and the exercise and operations after action reports submitted by Marine Corps commands and organizations, both will be used as direct inputs into the Campaign of Learning and the future force development process (Ref C).
3.  This Campaign Plan provides a baseline for MCCLL FY19 collection execution and will be modified as required based on emerging issues (e.g., disaster relief operations) and input from HQMC, operating forces, and supporting establishment.  This Campaign Plan may be modified due to changes in the MCCLL funding level and its impact on resources, and consequently, the capacity to execute collections. For each collection effort, MCCLL will coordinate a feasibility of support request with those commands/units and their major subordinate commands directly impacted.

5.  MCCLL publishes lessons learned reports as a result of these efforts within 90 days of the collection effort.
6.  Unit generated after action reports (AARS) from operations and exercises are an important and essential element of the Marine Corps lessons learned program (MCLLP) and provide a first step in providing a threat based understanding in how we fight. These AARs and lessons learned reports will continue to inform and adapt our warfighting functions. Consequently, timely submission of AARs to MCCLL is essential for the reports to be meta tagged, stored, and made available across the Marine Corps electronically.
7.  Additional MCCLL publications include the biweekly "Operations and Intelligence Summary: Global Edition" (classified and on the MCCLL SIPR website), the "Weekly New Data Rollup," a compilation of new data posted to the MCCLL data repository during the preceding week, and the "Monthly Newsletter," an unclassified for official use only (FOUO) publication containing highlights (with hyperlinks to the MCCLL NIPR website) of reports/handbooks/professional military education (PME) book reviews and pertinent information.
8.  The Marine Corps FY19 Lessons Learned Collection Campaign Plan with amplifying information is found on the MCCLL NIPR website homepage under the "Reference Menu."  Previous MCCLL reports, observations, insights and lessons, and after action material are archived and readily available with a Common Access Card (CAC) and by registering on and accessing the MCCLL website at HTTPS:(slash)(slash)www.MCCLL.USMC.MIL for NIPR.  A separate SIPR CAC token is required for accessing the MCCLL SIPR website at HTTPS:(slash)(slash)www.MCCLL.USMC.SMIL.MIL for SIPR.
9.  This MARADMIN is applicable to the Marine Corps total force.
