2. BACKGROUND
   (A) MCRP 6-11D, SUSTAINING THE TRANSFORMATION, DESCRIBES THE TRANSITION OF YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FROM LIVING CIVILIAN LIFE TO EARNING THE TITLE OF MARINE, FOREVER CHANGED. IT DEFINES SUSTAINING THE TRANSFORMATION AND DISCUSSES KEEPING THE TRANSFORMATION THRIVING THROUGHOUT THE FIVE PHASES OF A MARINE'S LIFE. SINCE OUR 31ST COMMANDANT, GENERAL CHARLES C. KRULAK, FIRST PUBLISHED MARINE CORPS REFERENCE PUBLICATION 6-11D, SUSTAINING THE TRANSFORMATION, IN 1999, THE MARINE CORPS HAS CONTINUED OUR PROUD TRADITION OF MAKING MARINES, WINNING BATTLES, AND RETURNING QUALITY CITIZENS TO SOCIETY. LIKE ALL PREVIOUS GENERATIONS, MARINES TODAY ARE EQUALLY AS COMMITTED TO OUR TIME-HONORED VALUES OF HONOR, COURAGE, AND COMMITMENT. MARINES OF THE 21ST CENTURY ARE AMONG THE FINEST WE HAVE EVER FORGED; IT IS EVERY MARINE'S DUTY TO SUSTAIN THAT RICH LEGACY. AMERICA TRUSTS ITS CORPS OF MARINES-WE MUST ALWAYS STRIVE TO PRESERVE THAT TRUST.
   (B) GENERAL AMOS SIGNED THE REVISED VERSION OF MCRP 6-11D ON 6 OCTOBER 2014. THIS REVISION OF THE PUBLICATION FURTHER DEFINES TRANSFORMATION, DESCRIBES ITS MANY EFFECTS, AND UPDATES IT FOR OUR 21ST CENTURY MARINES. IT REMAINS FOCUSED ON ONE OF OUR KEY LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES: KNOW YOUR MARINES AND LOOK OUT FOR THEIR WELFARE. IT IS A COMPANION TO MARINE CORPS WARFIGHTING PUBLICATION 6-11, LEADING MARINES, AND PROVIDES MORE DETAIL TO LEADERS ABOUT HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR MARINES THROUGH THE FIVE PHASES OF THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS. IT IS A LEADERSHIP TOOL THAT PROVIDES SOUND EXAMPLES AND METHODS FOR SUCCESS. SUSTAINING A MARINE THROUGH THIS PROCESS REQUIRES ENGAGED LEADERSHIP. AS A REFERENCE IT IS A STARTING POINT FOR DISCUSSIONS AMONGST PEERS, SUBORDINATES, AND SENIORS. THAT DIALOGUE AND APPLICATION WILL IMPROVE THE WELFARE OF ALL MARINES AND OUR INSTITUTION.
   (C) YOUR COMMANDANT CHARGES YOU TO READ THE REVISED PUBLICATION AND TALK ABOUT IT WITH YOUR PEERS, SUBORDINATES, AND SENIORS TO GENERATE SPIRITED DISCUSSIONS.  YOU SHOULD REFLECT ON, DISCUSS, AND APPLY THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THIS PUBLICATION. FURTHERMORE, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADERS AT ALL LEVELS TO MENTOR AND DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF MARINE LEADERS.
