By: FEDweek StaffThe Marine Corps has issued a report outlining progress it has made four years into an overhaul of training and education, detailing force design directed actions accomplished to date.
“The Training and Education Annual Report is another milestone on our modernization journey,” said Gen. Eric M. Smith, the commandant. “We continue to deliver on our promise to Congress, the joint force, our allies and partners, and our Marines to ensure we are postured, manned, trained, and equipped for a peer fight while ensuring we remain ready for any crisis. Our Corps remains at the cutting edge of training and education, which allows our Marines to continue to survive and thrive in any clime and place.”
The report was produced by the service’s training and education command (TECOM), and documents progress in 37 areas that were targeted for change when then-commandant Gen. David H. Berger issued the order to do so in his Training and Education 2030 directive in March 2020.
The report cites progress on training Marines “how” to think, not merely “what” to think, with an emphasis on judgement over rote learning, instructors as leaders, and greater development and use of technology throughout.
TECOM’s effort is focused on three specific areas (“The Three Ts”):
Project Triumph, the first of the Three Ts, heralds a paradigm shift in Marine Corps T&E, transitioning towards an outcomes-based, information-age learning model. This transformative approach prioritizes learner-centric education and empowers instructors to tailor content delivery for maximum comprehension and retention of all Marine students. By fostering a culture of accountability and embracing asynchronous learning opportunities, Project Triumph ensures Marines emerge as agile problem-solvers capable of thriving in dynamic environments.
Project Trident is forging combat-ready Marines capable of leveraging assets across all domains to establish and close kill webs in contested environments in all war-fighting domains. Through initiatives such as updating collective skills training and advancing kill web enabling processes, TECOM is equipping Marines with the tools and expertise necessary to excel in modern warfare scenarios.
Project Tripoli represents the culmination of TECOM’s vision for the future of combined arms training. This innovative endeavor aims to create a dynamic training environment capable of replicating real-world conditions while minimizing risk and maximizing training effectiveness. By harnessing the power of live, virtual, and constructive training environments, Project Tripoli is poised to revolutionize Marine Corps training methodologies.
