Abstract:

Marine Corps squadrons face a nearly impossible task of completing all required annual Marine Corps Training, aviation-related ground training, aviation training and maintenance procedures while balancing administrative duties unrelated to their Military Occupational Specialty MOS. The total time of all these requirements exceeds the time allotted in one year. Although the most beneficial change would be to alleviate some of the non-MOS administrative duties due to the greater amount of time focused on them, a more simplistic way to alleviate the pressures on both squadrons and the Marine Corps in general is to re-evaluate annual training requirements.
