USMC Concepts & Programs 2013 - Defense Innovation Marketplace

chapter 3: programs
Introduction
The Marine Corps Command and Control (C2) Initial Capabilities Document
(ICD), approved by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council in February
2008, and the Marine Corps Functional Concept for C2, approved in
2009, incorporate joint integrating concepts and C2 mandates. Together, they
articulate our goal of delivering end-to-end, fully integrated, cross-functional
capability, including forward-deployed and reach-back functions. They emphasize
that C2 must be leader-centric and network-enabled, and that individual
Marines must understand their commander’s intent and be able to carry
out complex operations. The C2 ICD, Functional Concept, and the Marine
Corps Information Enterprise strategy described in this section will enable
Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) commanders to exercise effective
C2 and bring together all warfighting functions into an effective fighting force.
In addition, these programs support the ability of the MAGTFs to function in
an integrated naval environment and participate in or lead joint and multinational
operations.
