The Marine Corps Center for Lessons Learned (MCCLL) collects and analyzes observations, insights and lessons to produce and disseminate lessons learned materials to support the planning and execution processes for operations and exercises, and support the combat development process. MCCLL focuses on tactics, techniques, and procedures of immediate importance to the operating forces, and on identifying gaps and recommending solutions across the DOTMLPF (doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership, personnel, and facilities) spectrum.

"Amid the high risk and uncertainty of combat, shared experience - especially lessons hard earned - should be promulgated laterally as quickly as possible so that the learning curve of the entire organization is elevated by the creativity or misfortune of individual units."

"We will apply lessons learned from current operations to maintain an edge against ever-adapting opponents"
