Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Concepts and Issues, 1995
Marines exist to meet the security needs of the Nation. This past year, the Corps operated world-wide, rescuing American citizens in Rwanda, maintaining the watch off Somalia, conducting migrant rescue and security operations in the Caribbean and ashore in Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti, respond ing to crises in the northern Persian Gulf, projecting force into Haiti, and con ducting air operations over Bosnia. This pace of activity for the Nation's expeditionary force-ih-readiness has gained steady momentum for the past six years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Seldom in history have Marines been more extensively committed. The focus of national security requirements may have changed since the Soviet demise, but the number and intensity have not. The need for a ready, relevant, capable Marine Corps is unchanged; the requirement for what Marines do remains constant.
