 Warfighting is a concept. It serves as a shift in the mindset of how we operate. Warfighting serves to give us a clear picture of how we are supposed to accomplish our mission and reach an objective. And if we're not all on the same page, then we risk wasting hours. We're wasting resources trying to reach that objective. We may still get there, but we're going to do so inefficiently. Being physically fit is absolutely paramount when we're talking about warfighting, but not being mentally fit, not being familiar with with this document is just as detrimental as as being physically unfit. So I would encourage all Marines to read MCDP-1, ask questions about it. I would also encourage them to check out one of the warfighting society meetings. It doesn't matter if you're an infantry Marine, it doesn't matter if you are an IPAC Marine, if you work in Comstrat, you're a Marine. New Marines, you're the future of the Marine Corps. Our enemies are smart and so we need a thinking Lance Corporal, Corporal more than ever. We don't know when the next fight is going to be. You need to be familiar with the document so that you're not caught by surprise and trying to catch up. If you're thinking that your only function is to squeeze a trigger, then you are being outcycled by enemy. You all play an incredibly important function within the greater Marine Corps. We need the balance, we need the scholar warrior.
