The purpose of this Order is to define roles and responsibilities that will support a single integrated process for implementing MAGTF C2 with the Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration (DC CD&I) as the integrator through the force development process to better influence capability development, investment, acquisition, testing, fielding, and training. This Order .clarifies the relationship between policy makers, capability developers, acquisition and testing professionals, and the training communities for MAGTF C2 and the MAGTF C2 SoS. The scope of this Order is limited to MAGTF C2 and to those systems that enable C2 MAGTF operations. The Marine Corps Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) enterprise architecture is the responsibility of the Director, Intelligence and is not within the scope of this Order. The overarching theme is one of alignment and synchronization of integrated processes that deliver interoperable systems for holistic MAGTF C2 capabilities.
