The Marine Corps wants to take learning more seriously, both encouraging the individual warfighter to take on a “personal mission†to read and study more and pushing learning institutions to revamp how they train and teach to have a more lasting impact, the commanding general of Training and Education Command (TECOM) told reporters.
This push to emphasize learning comes as the service released its first-ever doctrinal publication on learning, and as it is about to elevate TECOM to a three-star command to give learning a greater voice during Marine Corps-wide discussions.
TECOM Commanding General Major Gen. William Mullen told reporters today that as the operational environment and the challenges the Marines will face grow more complicated, it will be important that Marines are not only better trained to fight, but also better educated to think through how to handle unexpected situations that could arise.
