Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Moderately Effective

In general, a program rated Moderately Effective has set ambitious goals and is well-managed. Moderately Effective programs likely need to improve their efficiency or address other problems in the programs' design or management in order to achieve better results.
  • The Department of Defense (DoD) has articulated a limited number of long-term performance measures for the expeditionary warfare program in response to an earlier assessment. DoD has identified goals related to Joint and Coalition Proficiency, Operational Reach, Force Projection, Sustainability, and Operational and Organizational Adaptability for the expeditionary warfare capability.
  • Marine Corps expeditionary warfare fulfills a distinct role in the national defense. While both the Army and Marine Corps constitute the Nation's land forces, each force provides unique and complementary capabilities for carrying out military missions. Maritime-based Marines provide a swift and effective means of responding to crises.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Tracking the data of the annual and long-term performance measures to establish a baseline for the program.
