Excerpt: . . . 11 READINESS ASSESSMENT The pace of operations for your marines remains high, with over 31, 000 marines forward-deployed across the globe. In the U. S. Central Command area of operations, there are over 23, 000 marines deployed in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom ( OIF ) and Enduring Freedom ( OEF ). Our mission in Iraq is now complete. After 7 years of intense combat and nation building operations, the Marine Corps returned the Anbar Province to the leadership of Iraq. With exception of some Training Team members, our last piece of equipment and our last marine departed Iraq this past week. In the course of the last 8 years, your Marine Corps has been battle-tested, combat-hardened, and has accumulated tremendous experience in irregular warfare and counter-insurgency operations. Forward deployed units are manned, trained, and equipped to accomplish their assigned missions, and these units are reporting the highest levels of readiness for those missions. However, resources are limited, and non-deployed units incur the costs of ensuring deployed and next-to-deploy units have sufficient personnel, equipment, and training. As a result, our non-deployed forces continue to report degraded readiness levels. This degraded state of readiness within our non-deployed forces presents risk in our ability to rapidly re-spond to other unexpected contingencies. Because our equipment, personnel, and training priorities are focused on counter-insurgency operations, we have experienced degradation in some of our traditional, full spectrum, core competencies such as integrated combined arms operations and large-scale seaborne operations. These skills are critical to maintaining the Marine Corps primacy in theater access operations that enable follow-on joint forces. The OIF OEF demand for units has also limited our ability to fully meet comb. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
