Training and education develops, sustains, and enhances the combat readiness and lethality of all Marines and Marine Corps units. Accordingly, Training and Education Command (TECOM) and Marine Corps units’ preparation for combat must promote both individual and collective professional development and warfighting capability. The Nation expects our Corps to be able to consistently fight and win in the current and future operating environment as part of a capable and ready naval force. Marine Corps UTM plays a critical role in reinforcing these foundational precepts.
