In his 2010 planning guidance, the 35th Commandant sees a world in which the Marines are forward deployed and forward engaged in an increasingly complex security environment characterized by numerous inter-linked drivers of instability, including poverty, competition for resources, urbanization, overpopulation and a growing youthful demographic[1]. Accordingly, the Commandant recognizes the growing demand for irregular warfare capabilities and prioritizes better educating and training the Corps to succeed in distributed operations and increasingly complex environments [2]. In line with this priority, geographic approaches to understanding the changing security environment,as well as the people and places where Marines deploy, are of significant operational value.
