reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1176508 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The professionalization of the 0111 MOS is needed to increase proficiency requirements for promotion, the required attendance of MOS schools by rank, and the granting of opportunities for higher education. Codifying Administration as the seventh warfighting function, in turn, will bring relevance to a support specialty within a warfighting organization neglected in regards to advocacy, doctrine, and the benefits of identification as warfighting function. The research paper will outline what administration is in the Marine Corps, a path to professionalization, how administration was essential in historical military operations, and why administration should be the seventh warfighting function in the Marine Corps.
