This message announces the fiscal year (FY) 2027 mission essential task/mission essential task list (MET/METL), training management team (TMT), and training and readiness (T&R) manual review working group (WG) battle rhythm in support of service priorities and capabilities implementation. This message has been coordinated and developed with Deputy Commandant, Training and Education (DC T&E), Training Standards Division (TSD). Objective for FY27 reviews is in support of higher headquarters guidance to ensure MET-based capabilities, manpower, training, and equipment meets current and anticipated mission demands and adheres to the deliberate three-year review cycle process. MET/METL review actions synchronize with unit mission statements and are aligned with community of interest (COI) T&R manuals reviews.

2. Per ref (a), all Marine Corps reporting organizations will use Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS), the authoritative data source system for readiness reporting and mission assessments, to create and submit MET-based readiness reports. The FY27 battle rhythm provides policy and procedures for the development, review, and validation of METs/METLs and T&R standards required to support Marine Corps units, major subordinate commands, and supporting establishments readiness reporting.

3. Per refs (b) and (e), METL working groups will focus on planning, synchronizing, and identifying necessary and evolving METs associated to mission requirements, which correspond and align with unit mission statements, tables of organization and equipment, and COI T&R manuals.

4. Per refs (c) and (d), ground and aviation T&R manuals will focus on developing training standards that support the accomplishment of Marine Corps warfighting capabilities and to determine baseline/advanced standards that produce quantifiable outputs for core and core plus METs.

5. Per ref (f), DC CD&I and DC T&E are tasked with the establishment and collaborative support of amphibious readiness as a precept for all METL reviews. 5.a. The amphibious readiness precept promulgates roles, responsibilities, and processes necessary to make required additions, deletions, and modifications to MET-based capabilities and associated training requirements. Review focus will highlight any amphibious readiness, training, or other trends that better informs follow-on T&R manual modifications or training decisions. The precept is the working group’s scope of effort to address naval integration. 5.b. All METL working groups will apply amphibious readiness precepts to align efforts across Fleet Marine Force organizations. 5.b.1. Develop readiness standards by capturing individual tasks enhanced to include water survival, vehicle egress, and shipboard familiarization. 5.b.2. Develop readiness standards by capturing staff tasks enhanced to include amphibious and embarkation planning. 5.b.3. Develop readiness standards by capturing collective tasks enhanced to include ship-to-shore maneuver, naval fires, and integration.

6. Reporting organizations not listed within the FY27 schedule are encouraged to contact the points of contact to determine feasibility, scope, and forum for out-of-cycle MET/METL and T&R manual reviews.

7. Working group participation is critical for the successful review and validation of warfighting capabilities, METLs, and T&R standards. Marine Corps principal advisor stakeholders are required to provide lead action officers/subject matter experts (AO/SME) to participate in pre, during, and post-WG development actions.

8. Physical in-person MET/METL, T&R manual, and TMT reviews are encouraged based on the community, classification, and organization, but when feasible, virtual reviews can be conducted. Changes to unit mission requirements and mission statements will be addressed at METL review WGs as required. Dates and locations for reviews, and solicitation for AO/SME participation for all reviews will be published via separate correspondence (SEPCOR). Any changes to the dates identified within paragraphs 9.a through 9.i will be published via SEPCOR.
