GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. IN ACCORDANCE WITH REF A, THE SQUAD LEADER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (SLDP) IS AN INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM TO DEVELOP A BETTER TRAINED, EDUCATED, AND MATURED SERGEANT INFANTRY SQUAD LEADER TO ENHANCE MARINE INFANTRY BATTALIONS’ CAPABILITIES TO PROVIDE A FORCE MORE CAPABLE OF OPERATING IN COMPLEX, DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENTS. ACCORDINGLY, SLDP CAPITALIZES ON THE INSTITUTIONAL SUCCESS OF THE INFANTRY SMALL UNIT LEADERS COURSE (ISULC), THE SERGEANTS COURSE, AND THE SPECIAL DUTY ASSIGNMENT (SDA) PROGRAM BY SYNCHRONIZING AND STREAMLINING THE TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND ASSIGNMENT SYSTEMS FOR SELECTING FUTURE SERGEANT SQUAD LEADERS. THE ENDSTATE IS FOR EVERY INFANTRY BATTALION TO HAVE A CORE OF MATURE, TRAINED, AND EDUCATED SERGEANT INFANTRY SQUAD LEADERS TO LEAD AND GUIDE THEIR UNITS THROUGH THEIR DEPLOYMENT CYCLE (PRE-DEPLOYMENT, DEPLOYMENT, POST-DEPLOYMENT, AND RECONSTITUTION TRANSITION PERIODS). 
2. ON BEHALF OF THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS, I WANT TO PERSONALLY CONGRATULATE ALL THOSE MARINES WHO ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE AND APPLIED FOR THIS PROGRAM. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO ANNOUNCE THOSE MARINES WHO WERE SELECTED FOR SLDP. AS THE PLANKOWNERS OF SLDP, I CHARGE YOU TO BE THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR CORPS’ EFFORTS TO PROVIDE THE BEST TRAINED, EDUCATED, AND MATURE LEADERSHIP AT THE SMALL UNIT LEVEL. OUR MARINES DESERVE THE BEST WE CAN OFFER THEM!
3. THIS MARADMIN ANNOUNCES MARINES SELECTED FOR FY15 SLDP AND IDENTIFIES THE MARINES’ TRACK AND FUTURE ASSIGNMENTS. DUE TO THROUGHPUT CONSTRAINTS AND THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS PILOT PROGRAM, THE PLAN FOR SLDP HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM WHAT WAS PUBLISHED IN REF B. THE MARINES LISTED BELOW ARE DIRECTED TO ATTEND THE COURSES AS INDICATED ON THE SPECIFIED COURSE DATES.
