CMC Guidance Service Documents CMC Signed Nov 2013 The Marine Corps recognizes the requirement to regularly exercise reserve mobilization and deployment processes to ensure institutional readiness. Critical to our success, the Corps will continue to rely upon the Total Force when sourcing MAGTF training, exercises, shaping operations, crises, or contingency support. CMC Signed 4 Mar 2014 It is essential to develop a Total Force approach to sourcing GCC requirements. In many instances our reserve forces provide an institutional shock absorber to meet expanding requirements for employing Marine forces in theater security cooperation and contingency response. Pending CMC Signature 2014 The Marine Corps Reserve is used as a general purpose force, continuing to support Global Force Management (GFM) operational requirements consistent with available resources. 4
COMMARFORRES Vision As our Corps reduces the Active Component to form a middleweight force the Reserve Component must be prepared to fulfill potential shortfalls to be our Corps, Purpose Built Shock Absorber. As Marine Forces Reserve moves forward we must preserve and leverage the operational experience gained over the past 12 years of integrated Total Force combat operations. 5
