This publication, Marine Corps Reference Publication MCRP 3-10A.2 (Formerly MCRP 3-10A.1 and MCWP 3-11.1) Infantry Company Operations 22 February 2018, is a complete rewrite of MCWP 3-11.1, Marine Rifle Company/Platoon. This publication contains a new mission statement for the infantry company that better reflects current reality. It also covers the range of military operations that deployed infantry companies deal with today or may deal with tomorrow. Despite this extended coverage, MCWP 3-11.1 is not intended to be all encompassing. There are many aspects of infantry company operations that are not addressed herein because a specific publication already exists for that aspect. To cover it here would be redundant. This publication does serve, however, as the basic warfighting company publication and is to be used in conjunction with appropriate small unit, battalion, and other Marine Corps doctrinal and warfighting publications. This publication is intended for the infantry company commander and his staff. It is a foundational document that assists in the preparation and execution of company level operations in the current operational environment.
This United States Marine Corps USMC manual, Marine Corps Reference Publication MCRP 3-20F.5 Direct Air Support Center Handbook June 2021, focuses on the details of direct air support center (DASC) operations and the role that the DASC plays in integrated MAGTF operations. Written for MAGTF, naval expeditionary force, and joint force commanders and their staffs, MCRP 3-20F.5 highlights DASC organization, equipment, planning considerations, operational fundamentals, and employment options. This publication provides commanders and their staffs with the information they need to understand and evaluate the operational principles and capabilities of various DASC employment options. The Marine air command and control system (MACCS) provides the Marine aviation combat element (ACE) commander with the means to exercise control of those organic and nonorganic aviation assets necessary to support Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) operations. Marine Corps Tactical Publication (MCTP) 3-20F, Control of Aircraft and Missiles, addresses basic planning considerations for MACCS operations, employment, and interoperability among MACCS and joint Service agencies.
Marine Corps Reference Publication MCRP 3-20.3 (Formerly MCWP 3-27) Operational Support Airlift 2 May 2016 Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-27, Operational Support Airlift, provides a framework for the integration and effective employment of operational support assets during war and times of crisis, and it covers all aspects of operational support airlift (OSA), with emphasis on support for Marine air-ground task force operations. Operational support airlift doctrine is based on a common understanding of Marine Corps warfighting philosophy as defined in our doctrinal publications and concepts and is grounded in experience. Marine Corps OSA detachments have been deployed in support of Marines in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa since 2003. The lessons learned from these operations have been incorporated into this publication. It applies across a range of military operations- from humanitarian assistance to major campaigns. MCWP 3-27 is meant for Marines at all levels of command in the Marine Corps operating forces and the supporting establishment as a guide to using OSA as an enhancement to their mission. This publication defines OSA, highlights capabilities and limitations of OSA, recommends structure for command and control of OSA, and discusses OSA employment and scheduling.
Today's Marines operate within a continuum of force where conflict may change from low intensity to high intensity over a matter of hours. Marines are also engaged in many military operations other than war, such as peacekeeping missions or noncombatant evacuation operations, where deadly force may not be authorized. During noncombative engagements, Marines must determine if a situation warrants applying deadly force. Sometimes Marines must decide in a matter of seconds because their lives or the lives of others depend on their actions. To make the right decision, Marines must understand both the lethal and nonlethal close combat techniques needed to handle the situation responsibly without escalating the violence unnecessarily. Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 3-02B, Close Combat, provides the tactics, techniques, and procedures of Marine Corps close combat. It also provides the doctrinal basis for the Marine Corps Close Combat Training Program (MCCCTP).
This USMC manual, Marine Corps Reference Publication MCRP 2-10A.9 Air Intelligence January 2021, is dedicated entirely to intelligence support to the Marine Air-Ground Task Force's (MAGTF) Aviation Combat Element (ACE). It provides tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for air intelligence in support of the ACE and the MAGTF. MCRP 2-10A.9 Air Intelligence describes the unique aspects of intelligence support to the ACE and MAGTF relating to the enemy, weather, and terrain impacting the air domain. It includes doctrinal and scientific fundamentals, multidiscipline intelligence support to the ACE, frameworks for analyzing and understanding enemy air and air defense systems, and guidance on supporting the ACE and MAGTF commander's planning, decision-making, execution, and assessments cycle. This publication sets the foundation for training requirements, formal schools, organizational structure, and, most importantly, how we provide intelligence support to the ACE and MAGTF in combat. As such, it represents only a starting point and must be continually updated as the state of the art changes. Its users must continue to validate its contents and make recommended changes when more effective techniques or processes are developed.

This United States Marine Corps manual, Marine Corps Reference Publication MCRP 3-10A.1 Infantry Battalion Operations July 2020, is a complete revision of the previous version, last published in 1978, which focuses on capturing best practices from recent operations across the globe. Many of these best practices are reflected in the intelligence, fires, and stability chapters. This publication serves as a starting point for understanding the capabilities of the infantry battalion. It is not intended to cover every situation that may be encountered. It also does not address force structure and weapon system changes currently in progress and anticipated over the next several years unless sufficient experimentation and testing have already been conducted to generate best practices that are ready to be codified here. This publication serves as the basic reference publication for infantry battalion operations and is to be used in conjunction with lower echelon and other Marine Corps doctrinal publications. This publication is intended for infantry company, battalion, and regimental commanders and their staffs. It is a foundational document that assists in the preparation and execution of battalion-level operations.
Marine Corps Techniques Publication MCTP 12-10A (Formerly MCWP 3-35.1) Mountain Warfare Publication 2 May 2016, is a reference for all unit commanders and their staffs (trained or untrained in mountain warfare) and all leaders from the company level through regiment or brigade for use in operations that occur in mountainous terrain, snow, or cold weather. This publication is designed to be used with Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 3-35.1A, Small Unit Leader's Guide to Mountain Warfare Operations; MCRP 3-35.1B, Mountain Leader's Guide to Winter Operations; MCRP 3-35.1C, Mountain Leader's Guide to Mountain Warfare Operations; and MCRP 3-35.1D, Cold Region Operations. These publications cover a broad range of unit planning considerations that can be used across a range of military operations. This publication references formal individual and collective mountain warfare training programs available within the Department of Defense. Because of the rapid turnover in personnel, operating tempo, multitude of training commitments, and constraint of training resources for these environments, the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center cannot train all Marines. Therefore, this publication-used in conjunction with MCRP 3-35.1A, MCRP 3-35.1B, MCRP 3-35.1C, and MCRP 3-35.1D-identifies the skills that Marines need to be successful in mountainous, snow, or cold weather environments. During combat, these publications provide Marines with the doctrinal references they need to augment the instruction they receive from their unit's qualified mountain leaders. This publication supersedes Fleet Marine Force Manual (FMFM) 7-29, Mountain Operations, dated January 1980; FMFM 7-21, Tactical Fundamentals for Cold Weather Operations, dated September 1992; and FMFM 7-22, Tactical Fundamentals for Aviation in Cold Weather Operations, dated May 1991.
