OPERATIONAL IMPACT
MCDLP contributes to operational readiness by
providing all Marines with immediate access to required
pre-deployment training, military occupational
specialty common skills training opportunities,
and professional military education. Distance learning
capabilities fill critical gaps in the training and education
continuum and can reduce the amount of time
Marines are required to be away from their home duty
station attending formal training. MCDLP gives the
commander a better-trained Marine while increasing
personnel availability.
PROGRAM STATUS
