1.2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to assist Marines and Civilians with a common understanding of how the
Force Development System is intended to conceptualize and develop the current and future force. It out-
lines the current or “as-is” state of the Marine Corps Force Development System, linkages between the
processes and roles of stakeholders in order to facilitate informed decisions.
