Marines, Science, and Technology - A Deadly Combination
by U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Sean Berry
May 20, 2019

The Marine Corps is constantly improving its warfighting capabilities through advancement in science and technology to stay ahead of its adversaries.

The United States Marine Corps finds new ways to innovate using science and technology to remain one step ahead of any adversary. The Commandant of the Marine Corps is asking Marines to come forward with their ideas that might help push the Corps along the path of technological advancement. Marines can submit their ideas to the Commandant of the Marine Corps’ Quarterly Innovation Challenge to pave the way for the future in 21st century warfighting technology.

To ensure this operational strategy continues to evolve in a 21st century battlespace, several military officials conducted a Science and Technology Experimentation Office Advisory Group at Camp Lejeune, NC in February 2019.

“We’re challenging Marines to think outside the box and to be innovative in dangerous environments,” said Navy Capt. Robert Higgins, assistant chief of staff of the G-9 (future capabilities, science technology and experimentation) with II Marine Expeditionary Force. “We live in a very technology-heavy world and the military intends on operating in a very technology-heavy environment.”

The advisory group’s focus on experimentation in science and technology looks to enhance the way Marines operate as they face new challenges continues the attack on future battlefields.

“There are a lot of lines of effort in terms of science and technology across all the warfighting capabilities that the Marine Corps has,” said Higgins. “Even in the civilian sector, technology moves very fast and you always have to think about where your adversaries are with their advancements as well.”

The Marine Corps, along with the Office of Naval Research and various other Department of Defense agencies, are looking at ways to limit their critical vulnerabilities through trial and experimentation.

“The big connector is experimentation,” said Jeremy Hoff, Office of Naval Research science advisor to II MEF. “One of the main outputs of getting together is so you’re identifying these challenges and working together to find a science and technology based solution and an experimentation opportunity to learn from.”

Marines can submit their recommendations to the Commandant of the Marine Corps’ Quarterly Innovation Challenge. The challenge, recently referenced in Marine Administrative Message 065/19, allows anyone with an idea to improve or enhance overall mission readiness.

“The Department of the Navy wanted to look within the service for innovative ideas from its Marines and Sailors,” said Higgins. “The Commandant of the Marine Corps posts a quarterly innovation challenge to the service, challenging service members to come up with innovative ideas within their respective fields.”

“Experimentation is a way for the operators, the lance corporals and corporals of the Marine Corps who are dealing with the day-to-day challenges, to contribute to the modernization effort of the service,” said Gary Sokoloski, liaison officer to the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab. “It’s helping to reengineer the Marine Corps so we can be better organized, trained and equipped for tomorrow’s fight.”

 Service members can register for the innovation challenge.
