MARINE CORPS ORDER 3501.1C From: Commandant of the Marine Corps To: Distribution List MCO 3501.1C C 461 30 MAR 93 Subj: MARINE CORPS COMBAT READINESS AND EVALUATION SYSTEM (SHORT TITLE: MCCRES) Ref: (a) MCO 1553.3 (b) MCO 1553.5 DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS WASHINGTON, DC 20380-0001 Encl: (1) MCCRES Mission Performance Standards (MPS’s) (2) Index of MCCRES Volumes (3) Conducting a MCCRES (4) Evaluation Performance Standards (EPS’s) (5) MCCRES Reporting System (6) Software Change Proposal (SCP) 1. Purpose. To provide the Marine Corps with an evaluation system based on Mission Performance Standards (MPS’s). These standards are developed using the Systems Approach to Training (SAT) for the purpose of assisting commanders in developing the Mission Essential Task List (METL) that satisfy combat requirements. The MCCRES provides Fleet Marine Force commanders with a comprehensive set of Mission Performance Standards (MPS’s) from which training programs are developed, implemented, and evaluated for effectiveness and efficiency per reference (a). 2. Cancellation. MCO 3501.1B. 3. Background. In March 1976, MCCRES was developed to provide timely and accurate determination of the combat readiness of FMF units. In January 1985, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Training, HQMC (Code T) was given the responsibility for establishing training standards for mission performance, identification of deficiencies, and formulating training plans to increase combat readiness. In May 1988, the Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC) assumed the responsibilities for maintaining the MCCRES. MCCRES was incorporated as a part of the Unit Training Management program to further assist FMF commanders to meet established training standards. Formal MCCRES evaluations provide CMC with a readiness assessment of a unit’s ability to perform the tasks contained within its METL.
MCO 3501.1C 30 MAR 93 4. Information a. MCCRES Overview. MCCRES standards are published as Marine Corps Orders (12 volumes) in the 3501 series. In addition to the instructions contained in this Order, each volume contains instructions designed to assist commanders in the development and evaluation of their training efforts. Specific evaluation criteria may be found in the introduction section of each MCCRES volume. As new missions and their essential tasks (METL’s) are identified and/or new units established through the combat development process, new volumes will be added to the current series. MCCRES is a system comprised of four interdependent yet distinct components. A brief description of each MCCRES component is provided as follows: (1) Mission Performance Standards (MPS’s). MPS’s are mission-oriented collective training standards that establish minimum acceptable operational performance criteria for FMF units and elements. MPS’s are organized into separate volumes by unit type. Enclosure (1) provides additional details on the formulation of MPS’s. (2) Mission Performance Evaluation System. The primary purpose of the MCCRES system is to provide training feedback both up and down the chain of command. Local commanders can use training feedback developed through exercise debriefings and MCCRES reports to identify training deficiencies, to assess the effectiveness of their training programs, and to revise training programs to increase combat proficiency. Properly used by commanders, the MCCRES becomes a tool for evaluating the training readiness of a unit and the formulation of future training requirements. With continual use, training becomes progressive rather than cyclic. To ensure combat readiness training is progressive, "MCCRES grades" should not be overemphasized. The MCCRES program can be used for all field exercises. Commanders are able to use all or part of one or more volumes to continually evaluate the unit’s readiness capabilities. Enclosure (2) outlines a recommended set of procedures for conducting a formal MCCRES, and enclosure (3) contains standards for exercises in general. (3) Reporting system. The format for this report is the same for all units and is designed to standardize the input and feedback from all MCCRES exercises. Submission of the MCCRES report via the chain of command on floppy diskette with a cover sheet and hard copy in the format provided in enclosure (4) allows CG MCCDC (C 461) to: (a) Conduct trend analysis on manning, equipment, and formal training, (b) Revise and update MPS’s, and (c) Provide CMC with a readiness assessment of all units. 2
