![]() I think, you know, what we’ve learned from Force Design over the last two and a half years – and just by way of noting something here, as a MEF commander basically from July of ’20 to September of ’21, I actually was part of the experimentation going on. I think it’s going to be a very helpful document, I think for a whole host of reasons. So what can you share about what the Marine Corps has learned so far about Force Design, and what should we expect to see out of that? The annual update should be out next week. The commandant has said that Force Design is based on a campaign of learning, informed by war-games analysis, including the Warfighting Lab that you mentioned earlier. But let me start off with a question about the annual update. We’ll get into a little bit of what you just noted in a second. And that’s where we do all the fielding of concepts, and then it’s passed over to the Warfighting Lab for experimentation and refinement, all in this cycle of something we call the Campaign of Learning.ĭr. So within each of those, we break down and, you know, within the various components of a MAGTF. So I am essentially – we could talk about this for quite a while, but I am the requirements officer for the United States Marine Corps. I say that now because where we’re going on with forces on into very heavy, aggressive experimentation, our Warfighting Lab is very focused on that. ![]() Underneath that moniker are the two – there’s three, but two primary directorates, the Combat Development Director, CDD and then, of course, the big one is the Marine Corps – they’re both big – Marine Corps Warfighting Lab. The latter is certainly the bulk of my focus, combat development and integration. So Marine Corps Combat Development Command and, slash, the Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration. Heckl: OK, so thanks for the question and the opportunity to be here today to talk about forces. You know, what’s the main focus of MCCDC? What do you do? How do you serve both the Marines and the country writ large? I thought it would be helpful to start off by allowing you to give the audience a little sense of what you do. And thank you very much, General, for joining us here today. Jones: Thank you very much for that warm introduction.
