Marine Corps University Health Assessment of PME Study Implementation Plan and Resource Requirements 2008-2016
Mission Analysis • CPG Guidance: Assess the health of our PME programs and, taking advantage of recent studies, make recommendations for reorganization, resourcing, and adjusting throughput that will strengthen officer and enlisted PME. • Specified: Assess Health of “USMC” PME (utilize 2006 OPME study) Implied: • Holistic – All ranks, officer and enlisted, resident and distance • Review of all officer PME programs (foreign, joint, fellowships, scholarships) • Specified: Make recommendations for reorganization, resourcing, and adjusting throughput Implied: • In-depth review of PME programs • Integrate with USMC end strength increase • EPME/T Policy – PME equivalency, infantry career progression, and promotion policy
Students Curriculum PME & Support Programs Faculty & Staff Facilities & IET Infrastructure USMC Policy Health Assessment Legend Significant Problems Few Problems Fully Operational
Students • OPME Throughput • CLS, ILS, & TLS resident throughput has remained steady for past 5 years • DEP completion rates have increased for CLS & ILS • DEP completion rates have decreased for TLS • DEP graduates approx twice as many students as resident programs • EPME Throughput • EPME completion rates vary widely by rank over past 5 years • Cpl & Sgt completion rates have increased • SSgt & GySgt completion rates have decreased
Curriculum (Officer) • MCU curricula is properly focused on educating leaders to meet the warfighting and security demands of the 21st Century • MCU schools are the repository (and currently only venue) for Combined Arms Operations, MAGTFery, and Amphibious Operations across thespectrum ofconflict • Accreditation enhances academic rigor and assessment requirements • Curriculum Review Board (CRB) provides programmatic oversight for PME continuum and ensures appropriate emphasis on art vs. science and appropriate emphasis on culture & language • Inadequate Information Education Technology (IET) and facility capabilities limit development/delivery of curricula • C2 and Strategic Communication portions of curricula need strengthening
PME Support Programs • Lejeune Leadership Institute est. 2005 • Leadership excellence, values, and ethics • Senior Leader Development Program • Commander’s Program • Professional Reading Program • Resources Required: POM-10 $499K • Marine Corps University Press est. 2008 • Specific recommendation of 2006 OPME Study • Primary publishing arm of MCU • Quarterly professional journal, papers and manuscripts • Resources Required: POM-10 $837K
PME Support Programs • Center for Strategic Studies est. 2007 • Supports Strategic Visions Group • Focus on China and Iran • 3 FTE civilian/contract personnel • Resources Required: POM-10 $344K • Leadership Communication Skills Center est. 2007 • Leadership through communications…oral and written • Supports both officer and enlisted PME • 3 FTE civilian/contract personnel • Resources Required: POM-10 $220K
PME Support Programs • School of MAGTF Logistics (SOML) • ALOC, TLOC, and MCLEP • DC I&L requests increased student throughput • Increase number of ALOC and TLOC in-residence opportunities • Create a mobile education team • Resources Required: POM-10 $186K • MCU Culture and Language Program • DLI 40 hours of survival language course • Currently under GWOT funding program • Arabic, French, Chinese, or Korean • Resources Required: POM-10 $170K
Faculty & Staff • Faculty …Center of gravity of the University • Too few faculty to properly develop, deliver, and assess curriculum • Fully engaged, no research, writing, or publishing opportunities • Student to faculty ratio too large, seminars too large • Staff • Inadequate number to support schools and programs • Original T/O was too small…no increase since 1990 • Tremendous growth in staff requirements and functional areas • Resources Available: 202K End Strength Increase (partial solution) • 80 military (69 – EPME; 11 – OPME) • $1.1M funding provided to support additional civilian faculty and staff billets • Resources Required: POM-10 $7.4M (see slide #16) adds civilian faculty and staff to support improved and expanded PME programs.
Information Education Technology (IET) • MCU’s IET infrastructure is unsatisfactory • NMCI not designed to support an academic environment • No capability to conduct wargaming, modeling, and simulation • No IET faculty or staff to design, develop, deliver, manage, integrate, and coordinate C2 and IO curriculum • Deficiencies in current facilities restricts short-term and mid-term solutions • Imbalance in “art vs. science” • IET Master Plan Study underway • Supports the Strategic Plan and Facilities Master Plan • Establish an IET division in FY 08 and hire Director of IET • Combination of civilian and contract support personnel • Resources Required: POM-10 $2.55M
Facilities • Main campus facilities are inadequate • History Division and EPME housed in temporary facilities • SOML has no dedicated classroom space • Breckinridge, Dunlap, and Ellis Halls already at max capacity • Antiquated IET infrastructure and classroom size • Facilities Master Plan Study • Four MCON projects required to address main campus deficiencies: • P-615 SNCO/A Annex 10,000 Sq.Ft. • Bldg 3080 (old mess hall) renovation for SOML • P-541 Extension to the Gray Research Center 48,000 Sq.Ft. • P-XXX Academic Support Instructional Facility 110,000 Sq.Ft. • Satellite Campuses (SNCO/A) require MCON for new or renovated facilities • Resources Required: See slide # 17
Policy • Board selection process for resident PME is positive • Revised PME Order provides clarity for PME completion requirements • CMC White Letter to emphasize importance of completing PME at all ranks
Way Ahead • Continue OPME board selection process for resident schools • Increase number of students in MCWAR Students Curriculum • Improve C2 and Strategic Communication portions of curricula • Retain EWS current Structure • Increase number of CSC seminars (from 12 to 16) • Adjust SAW throughput based on requirement • Double the size of MCWAR to two conference groups in near term • Execute EPME/T plan; create Senior Enlisted Course • Establish MCU Press and IET Division • Sustain and improve LLI, CSS, LCSC, SOML, and CSC language programs PME and PME Support Programs Faculty & Staff • Increase faculty and staff size through 202K Plus Up and POM-10 Initiatives Facilities & IET Infrastructure • Complete IET and Facilities Master Plan Study • Identify and justify MCON requirements for POM-12/14/16 Policy • Publish CMC White Letter and new PME Order
