The Marine Corps is the Nation's expeditionary force in readiness.  On a day-to-day basis, we are forward deployed, forward engaged and prepared for crisis response. We are also ready to respond in the event of a major contingency. The American people have come to expect us to do what must be done "in any clime and place" and under any conditions. They expect us to respond quickly and to win. Concepts and Programs 2015 provides a status update of the United States Marine Corps and is an excellent resource to better understand the Corps, our capabilities, and the course we have charted for the future.
