Marine Corps Reference Publication MCRP 12-10A.1, Small Unit Leader's Guide to Mountain Warfare Operations 2 May 2016 is a reference for all Marine leaders (team through company) to use when conducting operations in mountainous terrain, snow, cold weather, and/or high altitude. This publication is to be used in conjunction with the Marine Corps Warfighting Publication 3-35.1, Mountain Warfare Operations, and its other associated MCRPs 3-35.1B, Mountain Leader's Guide to Winter Operations; 3-35.1C, Mountain Leader's Guide to Mountain Warfare Operations; and 3-35.1D, Cold Region Operations. The series covers a broad spectrum of individual and small unit tactics, techniques, and procedures across all six warfighting functions. Topics include the environment, specialized clothing and equipment, weapons considerations, patrolling considerations, route selection and navigation, basic avalanche hazard assessment and mitigation, crossing streams/ice, snowshoeing, winter camouflage, logistics, fire support, helicopter operations, and casualty evacuation. It stresses only the skills necessary for Marines to function in combat. Because of the rapid turnover in personnel, operational tempo, and the multitude of training commitments, the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center cannot train all Marines or units. In combat, Marines may need to learn through doctrinal references that are augmented with instruction from their unit's qualified summer and winter mountain leaders. This MCRP gives them that capability. This publication supersedes MCRP 3-35.1A, Small Unit Leader's Guide to Cold Weather Operations, dated 16 November 1990.

Marine Corps Warfighting Publication MCWP 3-03 US Marine Corps Stability Operations 16 December 2016 The Marine Corps will continue, with increasing frequency, to conduct activities in support of stability operations. These operations will span the range of military operations, from peacetime engagement, to limited contingencies and crisis response, to major operations and campaigns. During periods of relative calm, combatant commanders will use Marine Corps operating forces, either Marine air-ground task forces or other task-organized force packages, in support of our national strategy of engagement. This aspect of our national strategy assists in building host nation capacities, promotes democracy and the rule of law, and builds understanding of our cultures. Beyond peacetime engagement, Marine Corps operating forces will participate in both limited contingency and crisis response stability operations. The expeditionary nature of the Marine Corps and its role as the nation's force-n-readiness demands Marines prepare to conduct stability operations of short or long duration. Participants working with Marines will come from many organizations such as host nation personnel, various United States Government agencies, multinational forces, nongovernmental organizations, and private volunteer organizations. Marine Corps Warfighting Publication 3-03, Stability Operations, codifies tasks, planning considerations, and other considerations for use by the Marine air-ground task force in stability operations. It is a result of lessons learned through the development of the joint irregular warfare capability based assessment and responds to the Department of Defense directive that distinguishes irregular warfare from traditional warfare. Stability operations are one of a variety of steady-state and surge Department of Defense irregular warfare and small wars activities and operations.
2016 will mark the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor that pushed the United States into World War II and sent thousands of US Marines to fight and die on tiny islands half a world away. Today, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and Tarawa are household names that hold legendary status on the Marines’ roll of honor. But in 1941, the Marine Corps was a small expeditionary force with outdated equipment and an unproven new mission—amphibious assault. Michael E. Haskew's The Marines in World War II charts the rapid development of this famous fighting force from two brigades, totaling fewer than 20,000 servicemen, to two full corps with six divisions, five air wings, 21 battalions and as many as 475,000 Marines. In addition to chronicling the hard fought battles at places like Midway, Guadalcanal and Guam, the book also addresses the important role played by Navajo code talkers during combat, as well as the changes that took place within the Marines during the war, such as the admission of its first black members and the gradual desegregation of the Corps.
