Training and Education Command staff say that while most naval curricula at Marine schools is focused on traditional amphibious operations, new doctrine and standards will include skills Marines need to operate inside enemy sensor and weapons engagement zones at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means injecting emerging naval concepts into professional military education, likely changes to the commandant\u2019s reading list, adding a Navy captain to education command staff and potentially increasing the number of naval officers attending Marine schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The command will also review and update service concepts and doctrine related to command and \u00adcontrol in the Composite Warfare Construct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYears of fighting in the desert have atrophied many of the long standing Navy and Marine relationships,\u201d Tom Hartshorne, with TECOM Policy, Standards and Doctrine Division, wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday, we must ensure the Navy and Marine Corps visions of the future are synchronized and nested and ensure that our actions are complimentary to those of the Navy with respect to force design, doctrine, education and training, among other areas.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these changes mean it\u2019s likely that Marine training, schools and doctrine will see a lot more Navy in it than has been the case over the past two decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
