Organized by the Six Warfighting Functions

SEP 2015

MCTL serves as the common reference for USMC commanders, staffs, and trainers. Units serving in their Core and Assigned Missions derive their “tasks” from MCTL and are required to reporting their operational readiness to execute these tasks in DRRS-MC.

A MCT that is considered “essential” or “critical” to mission accomplishment becomes a Mission Essential Task (MET).

METs are externally focused and are tasks for which the unit was designed, organized, or sourced to the mission or OPLAN.

METs support other commands or directly affect the enemy. Answers the question: “Why does this unit exist?”

Standards: Personnel, Equipment, Training, Certifications and Outputs.

Core METs define the design capabilities for a type of unit, are published in the MCTIMS Task Master ADS database, and used to develop the type community’s T&R Manual.

Assigned Mission/OPLAN METs are developed when a unit prepares to participate in a specific unit deployment, operation, or alert mission (e.g., MEU BN Landing Team, Global Response Force) and may/may not be “additive” tasks to the established Core METL.

MET/METL Review Workshops are conducted prior to COI T&R Manual Reviews per 3-Yr. cycle battle rhythm established by MCCDC/TECOM. CD&I, TECOM, MARFORCOM and Advocate release coordinated AMHS Naval MSG with detailed COI requirements:

Review Community Mission Statement to organizational capability and mission intent can be met. Be prepared to submit recommendations for updating if needed.

Map personnel from current established TFSMS T/O to the METs within the current METL. (This aids COI in identifying and developing improved personnel standards.)

Map equipment from current established TFSMS T/E to the METs within the current METL. (This enables COI to identify inaccuracies/deficiencies/excesses of equipment.)

Use current T&R Manual to determine qualitative training standards aligned to the METs, and be prepared to submit recommendations for incorporation of NEW training events, if needed.

Recommended changes to the T&R Manual resulting from the Workshop is detailed within a Record of Proceedings (ROP) and given to the TECOM OccField/SME to support follow-on COI T&R Manual review.

Developed products are staffed in MCATS for COI and Advocate review/approval.

MET / METL Review Workshops Process(MCO 3500.110)

SEP 2015

MCTs/METs/METLs Approval Process

• MCT/MET changes requires stakeholder coordination per policy.

• Mission criteria based on future requirements prevents development of an adequate Training plan resulting in artificially skewing COI’s combat capability assessment and creates degraded readiness within DRRS-MC.

• COI requests change/mod to existing MCTs/METs in their METL (structure changes, resource or training deficiencies).

• COI independent “Capabilities Based Assessment” (CBA) review identifies desired future capability requirements. Could be submitted to CD&I/CDD, but NOT acceptable to reflect current capabilities required for DRRS-MC.

• CD&I/CDD, TECOM and MARFORCOM, conduct COI MET/METL reviews PRIOR to T&R Manual reviews.

• Review process is “lock-step” with COI Mission Statement and T&R Manual reviews conducted every three (3) years.

• Workshop deliverables require COI/Advocate/OAG validation of Mission Statement, structure accuracy, current capabilities with training aligned to the T&R Manual, and output standards that provide adequate ability to assess a METL’s readiness in DRRS-MC.

• CD&I/CDD facilitates new or modified changes to MCTs within MCTIMS Task Master for immediate use by COI as a reportable MET within their METL

• COI identified METs are reflected in the COI Mission Statement within TFSMS to support TOECR change modifications.

MET/METL Review/Staffing TIMELINE/Suspense: 45-day WG staffing of deliverables conducted by MARFORCOM for COI/Advocate review/validation.

MET / METL MCO Aligns with Total Force Structure Process

(MCO 5311.1E (2015))Title X mandates capabilities/requirements for ALL branches of the Armed Services

within DoD IOT accomplish assigned tasks for the United States Government.

Mission Statements define capabilities (core competencies or operational requirements) for the Marine Corps, and describe the mission, associated METs/METL, organization, concepts of organization and employment, administrative and logistics capabilities, and command and signal.

MAGTF Advocates are responsible for creation, review, modification, formal staffing and GO endorsement of a Mission Statement for every unit identified by a UIC.

Units without valid Mission Statements run the risk of not having submitted Tables of Organization and Equipment Change Requests (TOECRs) considered.

Mission Statement for units/SE will be reviewed every three (3) years in alignment to unit MET/METL and T&R Manual review battle rhythms.

MAGTF Advocates will associate assigned METs with their appropriate units’ Mission Statements and will review, modify or create new (if required) for each unit within its purview.

MAGTF Advocates will have three (3) months from date of a revised or developed Marine Corps Task (MCT) incorporation within the MCTL, and used as a MET within an operational reportable METL, to update their affected Mission Statements.

MET Standard Types

Resource Standards: Manpower (T/O) and Equipment (T/E) required to produce the outputs

Training/Certification Standards: Training required to produce the outputs Links DRRS-MC assessment to COI T&R Manual standards Links “E” coded events to the MET; identifies Exercises/Certs required

Output (Performance) Standards: Quantify the outputs provided to the gaining Force Commander Focus on results rather than process, inputs, or resources applied

Subordinate/Supporting Unit Standards: Tasks performed by other units that are required to produce the outputs Required for intermediate level commands

UNCLASSIFIEDSEP 2015

MET Personnel (T/O) & Equipment (T/E) Standards

• Measure the Personnel required to produce the required task outputs under the selected task conditions; Link Personnel on the unit (T/O) to the tasks they support; Personnel metrics are used in DRRS-MC to assess the resources required to accomplish the task

Personnel Examples:>= 16 crews formed>= 80% Of T/O billets filled with MOS-qualified, deployable personnel>= 80% of MOS 0621 T/O filled with MOS-qualified, deployable personnel>= 2 MOS 0602 billets filled with MOS-qualified, deployable personnel

• Measure the Equipment required to produce the required task outputs under the selected task conditions; Link Equipment on the unit Table of Equipment (T/E) to the tasks they support; Equipment metrics are used in DRRS-MC to assess the resources required to accomplish the task

Equipment Examples: >= 80% of BN T/E Stinger sub-systems mission ready and available >= 2 DTC (or equivalent stand-alone equipment) ready and available >= 80% of single channel radios T/E ready and available

UNCLASSIFIED 26SEP 2015

MET Training & Output Standards

• Measure the Training required to produce the required task outputs under the selected task conditions; Training metrics are used in DRRS-MC to:

Assess the training required for the taskSupport the calculation of the percentage of METs trainedNormally refer to E-coded events in an approved COI T&R Manual, or Collective events identified by the community as critical indicators of a unit’s ability to perform a MET

Training Example:>=4 teams trained to standard in 0321-AMPH-4002 Conduct a clandestine amphibious landing/withdrawal

• Measure the capability to produce the required Output or endstate. Quantify and scope the activity described by the task; Output metrics are used in DRRS-MC to assess the observation of the task performance.

Output Examples:>= 22,400 gallons per day of bulk fuel received/stored/dispensed>= 2 site(s) established to provide immediate humanitarian assistance, including food, water, and health servicesY/N Capable of boarding high freeboard shipY/N Capable of applying combat power to delay, impede, halt, or dislodge the enemyY/N Capable of seizing multiple battalion objectives through surface and/or heliborne assault

The ForceIdentify and prioritize capabilities required to achieve the future force, plan solution strategies across DOTMLPF, and direct development of the force within the limitations of resources and with an understanding of risk.

Build The ForceThe actions required to develop and deliver DOTMLPF solutions to achieve the designed force.

Generate Assigned Force

The collective process of transforming a C1/C2 designed force into a C1/C2 assigned force by providing additional mission specific training, manpower, and equipment.

Employ The Force

Deploying, sustaining, and redeploying an assigned force in support of operational requirements.

Prepare Designed Force

Actions associated with manning, equipping, organizing, and training (both service and theater) of a unit to achieve a C1/C2 readiness rating that can deploy in support of steady state activities or a major contingency operation.
