reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1177212 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Marine Corps has made changes to the Contracting Officer training pipeline for the past ten years. After numerous changes, the Marine Corps is unable to staff Field Grade Officer billets and will continue to be unable to do so unless changes are made. The Marine Corps must capitalize on lessons learned and best practices from the Marine Corps and Army Acquisition communities and create a Primary Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) for Field Grade Officers.
