"A warfighting capability is only as effective as the Marines employing it."
— Gen. David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps
The current training and education system is not preparing the Marine Corps with the knowledge and range of skills required for the future operating environment.
• Training in support of emerging concepts and mission sets will require new, converted, or repurposed training areas
• Reimagining training and education requires the application of information-age learning tools such as technology-enabled classrooms, digitized courseware, and robotic targets
• Modern learning methods and a student-centered approach requires a talented instructor cadre and yields high-caliber Marines
• Create a globally connected live-virtual- constructive training environment that enables realistic training for all-domain warfare
• Expand integrated naval training to prepare Marines to seamlessly deploy and employ integrated fires in the naval and joint fight
• Encourage Marines to accelerate and expand their learning through incentivized skills progression
• Rigorous and repeatable standards will continue to form the foundation for all training, education, and assessment
• We will hold-fast to our immutable high standards to continue building upon the legacy of the generations of Marines who came before us
• The title “Marine” is always earned and we will not compromise the standards that define what it is to become a Marine
The Marine Corps training and education ecosystem leverages technology, is data-driven, and effectively utilizes available resources to develop Marines who are cognitively agile, intuitive problem solvers, capable of making bold and consequential decisions in an uncertain environment.
"TE2030 will serve as a blueprint for TECOM to elevate our standards, integrate our forces, and deliver a more capable warfighter to the Fleet Marine Force," said Lt. Gen. Kevin Iiams, Commanding General, Training and Education Command. "Through our efforts we will develop Marines as effective leaders, decision-makers, teachers, and mentors who are prepared to fight and win in the coming decades."
