Marine Corps University Health Assessment of PME Study Implementation Plan and Resource Requirements 2008-2016

1. Marine Corps University Health Assessment of PME Study Implementation Plan and Resource Requirements 2008-2016

2. 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

3. Students Curriculum PME & Support Programs Faculty & Staff Facilities & IET Infrastructure USMC Policy Health Assessment Legend Significant Problems Few Problems Fully Operational

4. 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

5. 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
